(Not an instructor, just speaking from my own limited experience) You talk about a gap, I suggest experimenting with a grip that has a smaller or no gap, but is still loose. This is what worked best for me. That being said, many issues with a loose grip being inconsistent aren't directly from...

In my experience, more than one works fine as long as they don't occur during the same point in time. For example, anything before going down will not intercept with something that you do during the final stroke, so it doesn't hinder you to focus on two changes like that when they never overlap.

- Lag shot at the start of the match - Purposeful foul by pushing or pocketing opponents ball for safety purposes - Timing shot (e.g where you hit an OB very thin so it travels in front of a pocket, then come back off 1 rail to pot it) - When playing under a shot clock, shooting an easy stop...

At it's core, for most players it's a tradeoff between having more polished shot selections which leads to better position and easier shots, or having a more confident/relaxed execution which leads to higher success % on pots and leaves. I find it useful to seperate shot time into two parts...

There are many speeds at which different players step into the shot. As an example, Wiktor Zielinski would be a fast one, Fedor Gorst would be a pretty slow one. They both are clearly consistent in their alignment, so what causes the difference in speed? Do you find it beneficial to do it at a...

I just "know" where the OB will go to from any given CB/OB overlap, of course this instinct isn't perfect but learning to trust it and go with it develops it to be more accurate over time. It becomes like an ingrained part of your vision, instead of just seeing the CB/OB you see the outcome that...

How many nukes do you have?

Wouldn't call it a foul myself. Seems stupidly pedantic since it doesn't disrupt the other balls in any way and can't be mistaken for an attempted shot.

Why did you skip the first part of my post? If you know something the rest of us don't, please elaborate. I have no issues believing that the open bridge can be more beneficial, I use it myself for almost all shots, but I've heard many say they are more comfortable and play better with a closed...

No need to be scientific to have a point indeed but at least give some basic level explanation to have some merit in your idea. If what you say is true, there are reasons/explanations behind it. What are they? If you don't know, then that is a valid thing to say too. But not even mentioning...

Why though? It's a suggestion without any sort of an explanation at this point.

Agreed for 1 and 2, tip position and rifle pattern feels most useful for me too. (600-650ish fargo)

A few things: 1. When I said align, I meant the same thing as when you say aim. I just simplified the whole alignment/aiming part into a single word. So, to iterate with your terms, my point was that I don't see how sighting with one eye helps one aim more accurately than with two eyes. 2...

I didn't mean to prove anything or say I'm objectively right, my point was to say that I don't understand why there would be a correlation between eye dominance and shotmaking potential, hoping you'd elaborate more, if you have any insights as for why what you say is true. Listing 5 or so pros...

As someone who also has his right eye under the cue, I don't see how this would affect ones "upper limit" of shot making potential in any way. The pros you mentioned align when up, drop down into the shot, and then perhaps do tiny adjustments subconsciously or consciously, which can be done just...

Extremely reliable fundamentals are a big factor. When you are able to get the outcome to happen that you see with your eyes beforehand 99%+ of the time instead of 50-90%, the brain learns cut angles much faster. Every technique related miss is another mixed signal to the intuitive aiming...

Effect of luck diminishes in the long run, so if one side keeps appearing more lucky over and over, it is increasingly likely that they are just better at kicking/safeties/two-ways. e.g. for kicks, they are not neccessarily better at making contact, but better at reading probabilities of which...

Where can I find this calculator?

What are their rules for daily player selection? Today 7 slots per team, with Fedor 3x and others 1x. Could they do even more, or is 3x max per individual? Or is it just, every member must play at least 1 match, and rest is free to choose?

If one is faced with a tough pot, that he realisticly knows he will make ~75% of the time, even if he deliberately focuses on visualizing the shot go in and doesn't shoot until his focus is in the positive outcome, some part of his brain will, no matter what, be aware of the fact that there is a...
