There is seeing something, then there is what the minds eye does with that imagine.
Everyone can see the same thing, but how it's processed, seen by the minds eye, that is something only that person can "see".
One reason I like to "see where the CB needs to be" v trying to hit some points on two balls that can not be seen, is seeing where the CB needs to be doesn't change with where my head is or my stance. As I've stated before, I shoot one handed at times meaning my head isn't on the shot line nor my bridge hand or anything. I standing up holding the cue with one hand and stroke that way.
I believe as players improve they go to seeing where the CB needs to be v hitting contact points or patches that do not exist, but where the CB needs to be does exist.
Visual muscle memory if you will.

"Where the CB needs to be" isn't any more visible than contact points or patches (or fractions, or whatever) - they're all visualizations of things that can't be physically seen. In fact, "where the CB needs to be" is the only one of those things that doesn't "exist".

I am giving up pool
I am thinking of giving up pool......not completely, but tournaments and money playing cause I feel there something missing in my game. I can never figure it out. There lot of good players out there but most want lot of money for the time to teach someone. My drive for pool went downhill and don't feel like playing anymore except just play for league night only.
