I was reading this and other articals on muscle memory. After reading many articals on the subject I think if someone can get all negative thoughts out of their mind when shooting their shots, that person would be a vertual machine.
It has always amazed me that we can hit a shot 1000's of times and still manage to miss it in a real game. I had thought the answer was in that little guy in my head that said, just before the shot, "you could miss this". Now I'm certain of it. I have a hunch the players that have hit balls for years can benifit bigtime working on their mental game along with practicing. What I get out of all I've read is that once your muscle memory knows a shot and you can keep the demons (little voice in your head telling you you could miss) out of your mind, it's almost impossible to miss the shot.
