Efren pointing to where CB was supposed to be

We hve a saying where I come from........

If a girl scout missed shape and tapped the table, would you still buy cookies from her?:scratchhead:
 
Sorry if this has been talked about before, but many times I see Efren point to, or tap the table with his cue, where the CB was supposed to end up. (He is not the only one who does this)

Maybe its just me, but I'm not a fan of that practice. I know he is just a little frustrated with his own shot, but to me it seems a little like complaining. I dont see the need for it.

He isn't doing it for the fan base. He is doing it to reinforce to his subconscious on just where it was supposed to go, and thereby make the immediate re-calculations that would have actually put it there the first time. It is nothing more than re-calibration so the next shot has the correct speed on it.
 
There's also a need for a 'visual' player to give the mind a clear picture
Of the result .... to compare to the idea.. so that the mind can compute
Better the next shot. I personally am a visual player, and if I don't give
Myself good feedback then it can get more difficult to get on track.

But that's just me. I'm a little different..... ;)

I posted before reading all the answers. But we are saying the same thing here.
 
A little different

When I was playing league my team mates made me point to the pocket I was
shooting at after I missed. They said I missed them so far they couldn't tell
where the hell I was trying to make it. Kind of hurt my feelings.

It is interesting but I have been doing something very similar for the past few years. After I miss....
I will point to the pocket that I intended the object ball to go in to.
Lately I miss by so much that I feel I need to let everyone know where I thought the ball was going:o
 
Lassiter would be a couple of inches from perfect position and shake his head and frown. Mosconi likewise used to show his frustration if he got even a little out of line. He would tap the table and act really disgusted with himself if he had to shoot a different ball then the one he intended to shoot next. And these two guys played a pretty fair game themselves. ;)

And some people are making that complicated.
Mike Sigel whined a lot too. He'd shake his head even though there is nothing wrong with his position.

Cool story, bro. Would read again.
