Experiments in looking at the cueball while delivering the stroke.

The.demonstration of Sportsman Ship at the free ball dispute is a Classic in and of itself.
The Spirit of the Law vs the Letter of the Law. (was a common plea for Me. Well Your Honor, this is what happened my lead in. Then plead case and get half price for a good story. 🤷‍♂️ "15 dollars next!" Is a favorite)
So anyway the Commentary proofed what a Rare Occurrence this was. Changing Times and Leadership comes to mind. Just color me hopeful. 🤷‍♂️
 
I have found a way to see the cueball the OB and target all at the same time, my main problem has been a dead stop at the end of my follow through, I have a tendency to pull the cue back at the end of my stroke and sometimes before I complete the stroke.

I have experienced similar. My efforts have shown what helps me, is to aim for the exit point on the back side of whitey. A self made cartoon imagination of unstoppable cue and immovable cueball. Where I want the force to be started in the entry wound. So my eyes are on the entry wound and focus is to hit the exit wound. 🤷‍♂️
Once the exit point is exceeded the path no longer matters.
 
Ah the cold start. Saturday 12.13.25:
My cold start is minimal speed.and effort.
One handed allows holding the warm coffee cup to warm the fingers.
The reminder to self Regarding exit point as aim point is successful first 2 strokes. The first shot in The Chase is complete to both pockets so off we go 8 shots in 2 directions is my morning regimen.
Edut: oh yeah the temp is mid 40s.
 
Getting the laps in is the good part. 😉 The missing of shot becomes less emotional and the rational analysis is rewarded. Practice Practice Practice. 😉

Hold for 10 count .
Edit: ooops wrong thread. Sorry 😉 Should be Practice and Preach thread. 🤷‍♂️ Old Timers is my plea......uh your honor. 😉
 
Well the Snooker this morning is providing some good looks at the eye patterns of John Higgins and Judd Trump. What I am seeing Judd do sure looks like he is now looking at the cueball as he strikes it. His eyebrows seem to be down at the strike. 🤔
 
I'm a firm believer that if something works for you, then keep doing it. If it doesn't, then don't do it.

I have always been a CBL player with some exceptions.

Considering all pool teachers encourage proper fundamentals in lining up your shot, going down onto the shot and being in the correct line for the shot when down on the table, it should not make a difference where you look. You should be making no further adjustment; you should simply be stroking the ball and it should not matter if you close your eyes (which I have tried to prove a point) I look at the cue ball because I imagine the cue going through the cue ball in a straight line and looking at the cue ball keeps my focus on hitting it exactly where I want to hit it.
 
Oh dear, how does the uh grumble go?
You send them to school
You give them the books (and the looks)
And all they want to do is lick the chalk. 🤷‍♂️
Kyren vs Higgins is giving the looks.
The months subscription is justified in the view of the finals now. A cheap lesson.
Wst.tv
 
Some March to the beat if a different drummer.
Hire the handicapped, they are fun to watch. 😉
Well watching Higgins eyebrows would be fun with a musical accompanied. The successful shots all would play the same tune. Things that make you say, 🤔
 
Wow, just wow. The ball that Higgins missed was a total head scratcher. Kyrens clearing of the table gave plentiful looks at his totally musical style. His eyes are subtle but detectable. The drums that he marches to are the ones I strive to follow as well. 🤷‍♂️
 
Breaking at 3-1. It still figures to be an epic battle. The luck of the roll can determine the winner.
Good Stuff. Time for another hot coco.
 
Well the Sunday funday tournament had me leaving the Kyren vs Higgins battle mid match. So I indeed look forward to viewing the replay.
Youtube has some great stuff live right now.
More entertaining lessons.
I am always open to lessons. I always paid for mine.
