The issue with your logic is that you are saying the ghost can't possibly be perfect (1.000 TPA) with only 740 fargo, which would indeed be faulty if the rules were that the ghost always broke and therefore had an infinite series of break-and-runs. But the definition of the ghost is that the...

Sufficient for perfect position play? No. A good baseline that helps accelerate learning by getting more reps of same tip position instead of multiple slightly different ones? Absolutely. Think of it like this; there's often multiple tip position/speed combinations that give you roughly the...

My approach is to focus during the stroke on nothing else moving than my stroke arm. During my PSR I have payed great attention to obtaining a steady and relaxed stance such that it's as effortless as possible to stay still. Staying still is consciously measured by the field of vision not moving...

Many "useless" things are just fun to know for some people, especially when they are related to your interests, in this case, pool. I think most people who find this an interesting read don't do so for any usefulness or external purpose, it's just interesting and therefore fun (for some) for...

Living up to your 764 fargo, statistically 6th best Finnish player :LOL: Congrats! Also happened to watch some of the final match.

Simple question: Does this drawing illustrate the system as you just stated it? If so, how come the 2 ball is not going towards the pocket from that line? If the drawing is misunderstanding your system, how does it need to be fixed?

Not only that, they are one of the most effective/simple ways of getting feedback for your technique. Missing a cut shot can be due to a faulty aim and you won't necessarily know which reason caused the miss (aim or technique). Your feedback from straight shot misses are much more effective when...

Repeated straight in shots are anything but pointless.

A video would be helpful.

Why? You can be deliberate without being painfully slow. If someone uses the word deliberate to refer to a painfully slow player, being deliberate isn't the issue.

By calculating the ratio between won and lost frames. For example, if you had a fargo of 700, played 200 sets with the 9-ball ghost, won 100 and lost 100, the 9-ball ghost's fargo on your table/conditions would be estimated to be 700. Fargo's math works such that the better player is twice more...

What I'm saying is that isn't this information already deducted automatically from the ball positions relative to the table? Just from a quick glance your brain senses the positions by sensing their spatial relationship to the cushions and you will then know the distances as well.

Yes, and because I'm very right eye dominant it doesn't make a difference for me as I always utilize the image from one eye only in my alignment/aiming, but that's besides the point. What you were talking about was perception of the pocket's relationship to the OB, which is a different thing...

How so? For me, doesn't make a difference if I close one eye or not, the OB location relative to the pocket is the same

Did you ever address this, Mensabum? If Bob understood your explanation of the system correctly, the image should clearly demonstrate why it doesn't work geometrically. So, is the image not accurate to what you are claiming, or is the system geometrically incorrect? It's one or the other. As...

7-1 vs 9-ball ghost. 9ft Diamond. One fluked 9 but other than that solid shooting, with a few tough recovery shots.

Imran Majid and Jeremy Jones are great. Knowledgeable about the game and shares their insights, great to listen for intermediate/advanced players who are trying to improve their game.

Watch the 10-ball on the rack. It's on Joshua Filler's side. When the lag ends, the CB on the side of the 10-ball won. That should show unanimously that Joshua won the lag.

Some of my key observations for combos: 1. Realistic awareness of their difficulty. Even a relatively short-distance combo, unless almost dead-straight or wired, can be often missed by even top pros. Extra variables (spin transfer etc.) and a weaker intuition for aiming them than normal shots...

In Finland, most clubs with 24/7 access are between 50-100€/month. Maybe some in the 100-150 range.
