In general, if it feels physically comfortable and doesn't lead to long term issues, go for it. Otherwise don't. If unsure about your form, consider a session with a coach/instructor to discuss what the optimal stance is for going low, to minimize unnecessary strain on the neck. At an old age...

It doesn't confuse everyone, even if it confuses you. A large portion of your input into more in-depth threads or posts is the same, claiming that things are being overcomplicated, even if a large amount of people clearly get something out of more in-depth analysis. Maybe not for you, that's...

I'll explain my method as someone who aims with ball overlaps by feel, no systems or contact points just the overlap image feeling correct for a given shot: While going down on the shot, OB 100%. Once down, I start with OB/CB back and forth multiple times, when looking at CB I focus on the tip...

The main reason you should do at least 99% of your aiming while standing is that this way when you step into the shot in a repeatable manner, your entire body is synced up with the correct shot line the same way each time. Head, arm, body, legs, everything the same. Whereas if you start changing...

Set up the shot multiple times, try different variation of spin/speed. This will not only help you get more consistent with the execution, but more importantly realize which shot selection is the most consistent in terms of getting the position you want. This is a good example of a shot with a...

He had clear points in my opinion. What's the issue? Nowhere near word salad.

I'm talking about the conditions used in most pro tournaments, new slick cloth. When you compare that to the slow cloth, my opinion is that slow cloth is easier overall to run racks, if all other table conditions were the same. But I agree that a worn out, "average" used cloth of today is easier...

Slower cloth I'd argue is easier to run racks on than fast cloth, due to more margin of error on speed control. When people compare the two, they often focus solely on the extreme power shots, but not having a stroke for those on slow cloth cause missed position much less often than...

Offtopic, but good job in the TAOM HCP tour! On your way to winning 2000€ :D

Fair enough, in my framework of explanation I'd then say the same thing as; in this case the stun option would be hit hard enough to start causing technical issues, which then makes it subpar compared to the other option. So yeah, nothing I disagree with you on then.

I agree with 95% of what you are saying, and while bottom left is good for this particular shot, I disagree with your bolded statement being a positive thing. In general, one reason we want to use extra rails for the CB is to make our mistakes in speed control matter less for the outcome. For...

That's your opinion. Some are the opposite.

I said that in theory it has an effect, just like anything. Measure something precise enough and almost anything will start to cause effects. But then I also said that practically it doesn't matter, as in, it shouldn't be considered at all for your pool game. What do you disagree with?

In theory, either by the temperature being extreme or the measurement being extremely precise, yes. Practically speaking, no. Humidity affects the table, and temperature and humidity are often related, but that's not directly temperature causing the differences.

Funny how it goes both ways, I much prefer to watch slower (pro) players. More time to think about the table and what I'd do without having to pause so much. I don't get anything out of the outcomes of the matches 99% of the time, but it's a fun excercise to compare own shot selections to the...

Depends on table conditions, pocket size, current confidence, etc. But most commonly with just low, no side. Slightly fuller angle and might go for a stun shot with left. Bottom left not for me, that's a more touchy shot than the others, although move the balls around a bit and it becomes the...

The entire forums are a waste of time. That's what we are here for, it's a fun way to waste it. And yeah Filler & Gorst will be #1 and #2 on the list in 10-15 years most likely.

This shouldn't be added to the aggregate table, as the numbers aren't exact, but just throwing it here for a bit more data points off the charts. Been playing 9-ball ghost scotch doubles for a while with a friend of equal skill. We've done lots of short races of varying lengths, but the overall...

On the site it says "Hover on the heatmap to see winning odds. (You can zoom in for more detail)". The heat map is a grid containing all the possible combinations of different frame amounts you and your opponent race to, showing the likelihood of winning for each side. For your case of 5-9...
