Only one aiming system works, and Yoda knows what it is.

If you want to play like a Jedi, you must use the force !!!


Ha !!!

Now that should get you all started up !!! Let the name calling begin !

(just teasing folks, don't get crazy on me ! )
 
On a more serious note,....

The reason that it's so hard to use the force, is that a player's conscious , thinking part of the mind, does not get to take credit for the shot.....
So..... it's very hard to play this way when under pressure or stress. The human mind wants to take control.
What do you think ?
 
Yep, you have to do your thinking standing up, and be able to turn on that switch when you get down to rely on your unconscious mind to do the right thing.

If you are thinking while down on a ball you are cooked.

I would not go as far to call it the force though......:D

The mind controls both the conscious and unconscious. :p
My mind has left the building.

This is where aim systems and aim ideas come in handy. We add to "feel", "vision".

Two examples, CJ talking about sighting on the balls as if they're two- and not three-dimensional; the times when a player "makes everything they see" and is seeing the edges of the balls very crisply. Everyone from George Fels to Walter Tevis has written about this "vision zone".

A simple "aim system" involves helping my students by having them turn the numbers on the balls to the contact point on the aim line and then get into the stance and regard the numbers so they can "see" the spot, etc.

Hi Roger :)

Well- i liked the shortcut- and it is easy to remember. I use it for my students.
Great to pick the *several small routines* later into the *last 3* (See-Think-Do).
To put it together after a time of burning in the different parts will make at least the music sound good^^

Lets say our brain thanks its hard work and what it do for us while we are busy playing.Whenever we under- or overestimate pocket speed in billiards, the mechanoreceptor system of our brain provides the necessary feedback to recalibrate and adjust the necessary force to make the shot on our next attempt.
