So much has been beaten around on this forum over the last week about aiming, feel in aiming, and feel in every other part of the game. Now it seems like a whole new breed of "FEEL" player/theorists are coming out of the woodword to espouse the benefits of something we can't really describe and apply it to EVERYTHING. THE ENTIRE GAME SHOULD BE FEEL.
OK...where would that take us if we had a "BUBBLE BOY"....an individual that reached his late teens, graduated with good grades in high school, but came down with a a terrible disease of the immunity system and had to be placed in a perfectly controlled bacteria/virus free BUBBLE environment.
Let's assume "Bubble Boy" was slowly going bonkers in there and happened to be watching an ESPN pool match and said that he'd like to have a pool table in his Bubble, which the facility granted especially since his daddy was rich as hell and giving money for their research.
There are some on here that want to teach a mere beginner nothing but making balls through feel and feel alone without cluttering the mind on anything, whether it be aiming, stance, grip, stroke, english, etc.
Now upon receiving his pool table, you would have to admit, that Bubble Boy would be the ULTIMATE feel player on his first day at the table since he has NOTHING to think about because he knows NOTHING.
What do you think would happen to Bubble Boy's development if he NEVER got one book to read, got no tapes to watch, and had NO ONE instruct him on any facet of the game at all? What if his only instruction was to use that blue stuff on the rails and scrape it across the tip of your cue on every shot and that was it!
However, remember that Bubble Boy has 16 hours a day to stay at the table and hit all the balls that he cares to hit. How far do you think "FEEL" alone would take Bubble Boy into a becoming a certain level player without ANY help from the outside in knowledge?
