I resemble this remark.
Just one small example of all that Freddy has given to the game.
Thanks, man.

Sort of just pointing the cue, not focused, not hitting cue ball were intended, not aiming.
And getting a little too "feely" with the stroke - thinking I'm Django or somebody...

Exactly. The brain doesn't multitask. It processes one thing at a time. It may feel like multitasking when you're doing several things at once, but the brain is actually pingponging back and forth between tasks.
Usually if I miss it's because I assume the shot is automatic, like there's no way to miss it, then when I'm down on the ball I might change my mind on the position play, and instead of standing back up and restarting my psr, I just shoot from where I'd originally lined up for the shot. And sometimes it's a spectator that points it out to me by saying something like, "I thought you you'd just draw it straight back." And I think....yes, that was my plan, but I changed my mind once I bent down into shot. Why didn't I stand back up and restart!!??
This is kind of like chicken or egg. Do we miss because we jump up or do we jump up because we know we missed?
See the post above. I don't think the shooter was totally committed, but staying down can be solved with good pre-shot and post-shot routines (i.e. stay down at the table until the balls generally stop moving).
I've heard that - I wonder if it's true for conscious and unconscious "thoughts"? We often do things "automatically" (like driving) while thinking about other things.
pj <- how's that working out for us?

great thread!
sometimes the balls just zoom into the pockets, but mostly I have to put them there..it's tuff.
for me, I think a lot of it comes down to not being committed/not being more focused on what's happening.
I also often plead ignorance/I just don't know what the heck I'm doin.

I love this thread!!!!
I saw a few of my main culprits...changing my mind once down and then not standing back up. Or if at any time I feel “off” in my stance and maybe I’m trying to lean a bit, then I think (I should stand up)...once you think that you pretty much have to stand up or you’re 50/50 at best. I am at least.
Another big one for me is tightening my grip on long, hard hitting shots. I’ve mostly rid myself of it but sometimes it rears up at the worst times ��
