Systematic repeatable aiming procedures
IMHO, successful ball pocketers have a systematic repeatable approach to aiming. This may not be a system.
The intuitive player has enough error-feedback(misses) to evolve to a correct firing solution method of delivering the cb to the right place on the ob. The proper body alignment, sighting visualizations, speed and stroke types and any other needed elements are collected, categorized, recalled and actualized on every shot.
I believe that it is a systematic approach that is largely done before you get down on the shot. You see the shot. Only small 'once down' adjustments during the warm up stroke phase are acceptable before pulling the trigger. If, more adjustment is needed-start over.
For me-there are straight-in's, 1/2 ball cuts and 90 degree cuts from a visualization standpoint. Example-all cuts are half ball hits-unless they aren't. Adjust from that visual benchmark.
I miss alot. Most often, I miss close. If I miss close enough-I make it.
Maybe it's just a definition/comfort level thing-but, I prefer a systematic approach that reflects the total of your positive and negative result feedback instead of a strict system. A strict system usually will have situational adjustments as needed-so is that also a systematic approach.
I like systems for the opportunity to experiment and to add to the experience data base that we call upon in making shots. Choosing the correct shotmaking data for the shot is the systematic challenge. Performing the shot with all its critical elements, as perceived, is not always the result we get, despite a 'go' from the brain.
I really like this game. I wish I played better. Failure, fortunately, motivates.
Just rambling...while on an end game vigil.
Take care
