In motorcycling, there is this concept called target fixation, which is a cause for a lot of motorcycle accidents.
Target fixation is when you look at where you don’t want to go, but because you are looking at that spot, you go there anyway.
From my motorcycle racing, I’ve seen this a lot. A following rider is so focused on the rider in front, that they will follow them off track if that’s where the lead riders goes.
The following rider must always look past the lead rider to where they want to go.
I’ve gone off track and had a following rider follow me cause he was target fixated on me.
In motorcycling, you look where you want to go at all times, well most the times anyway, specially if you are hauling ass in the twisties.
I apply this concept to my pool playing. I look where to put the CB, look where it needs to be, based on extensive practice.
Like I said.......at some point a player must customize their playing for themselves.
