Didn't read the thread. Center ball can do a lot of things, but
it depends on the shot and the stroke.
In fact, if you stay within a tip to a tip and a half of center ball,
you can get position on 90% or more of your shots just with
stroke and speed alone in 9 ball or 10 ball.
Many people think you need to use a lot of English way more
times than you actually do. I'd say less than 5 to 10 percent of
shots in rotation pool actually require extreme English to get
position on the next ball.
Let me clarify a little. A player that is advanced can make the
above work really well. A player who is all over the table and
doesn't play proper position and angles will most likely run into
many more situations where extreme English and stroke are
needed.
Forgive me if I'm a little off topic based on other replies, I only
read the original post.
