CopYing your favorite player'S STYLE

[Chi2dxa]

we've all done this i'm sure, whether it was in our teens when we would emulate our favorite sports stars.baseball players. whether it would be a way a hitter would swing at a baseball(mattingly, griffey), a hoopster would shoot(larry bird),or a way a pitcher would throw(clemens, nolan ryan). then over time the way we emulated our faves we eventually tweaked it into something of our own.

just wanted to know in regards to pool if anyone has emulated a favorite player of theirs, if yes who was that player if well known, how were the results and do you still shoot like that?

Yes, right now I am looking at all Seming Chen's videos and she has done wonders for my game. It is a very simple limited movement style which is easy to copy. I couple this with a motion from the Philippines add 3 rail positioning and I am playing a lot better and with more confidence. I was an artist back in the 80's and found that when I copied other artist work after awhile I could see what their next stroke was going to be and feel what they were trying to communicate in their work so copying a style works for me.
