Man...you are wearing me out. Tell me, honestly, do you really believe that those who "aim by feel" are saying that they don't believe in learning how to play properly? That you should just somehow naturally discover how to play pool through practice, with no instruction whatsoever? That they don't AIM? Jesus Christ! Are you really that f&%king dumb, or do you just need to argue? Those who aim by feel believe in developing proper fundamentals. And when they shoot, they AIM!!!!!!!!!!!! They're not advocating learning to play by chance, they're saying that (please read this part very slowly and carefully) they AIM by FEEL. They're not consiously using any aiming system. They look at the ob, and they decide based on all of their playing experience, where they need to hit it. Take your little boy in the plastic bubble. If you had a world class instructor teach him all the fundamentals of the game EXCEPT an aiming system, do you think he could become a world class player? YES. I would bet that he very well could.drivermaker said:
And as far as Mark and Keith, you make a big deal out of telling "feel" players what idiots they are for believing they actually aim by feel. Your favorite way to try to win this aiming argument is to challenge them to play, with the idea being that whoever wins must have the better aiming system. Well, does that mean aiming by feel is superior to your method? Because I know you don't want any piece of those two "feel" players. Have some balls and say the same things to them that you would say to any other person on this forum who dares to disagree with you. I mean really, who do they think they are!? Nobody can aim by feel.
