EYE PATTERN “Best Practices” … Cue Ball or Object Ball Focus Last?

His final black makes me think cueball last. Would bet a dollar. 😉
Edit: Nevermind, I watched the other 147 and have changed my mind. Still not 100 percent but maybe more likely. 🤷‍♂️ Hope no panties are getting bunched.

Like politics and religion, I refuse to get angry at someone because we disagree in a technical discussion. Especially something like this. I know that cue ball last or object ball last can work at the highest level. Also, cue ball last makes the most sense to me looking at things logically, yet I normally look at the object ball last!

One reason or another I sometimes don't get to a pool table for long enough to get out of stroke. When out of stroke, bank shots which I shoot by feel are affected less than other shots. Speed, angle, and spin usually combine to make a bank shot while angle alone often determines success of cut shots. It seems like some conclusion should be drawn from this but I have never figured out just what.

My morning fitness program includes rail first exercise that requires accurate speed and spin. I try to simulate competition by pitting left vs right while doing the drill. I find that my left handed is feel centric and the right is more analytical and measures more than feels. It's generally an even competition. However some days one hand or the other excells and leaves the other in the dust. Have never figured out just why. 🤷‍♂️
Politics and religion definitely comes to mind regarding final focus. My results indicate that my trophy count would favor object ball last. My feeling of overall cueball control comes looking at it when I hit it. Of course my comparison does not include going back and forth in methods as my left vs right practice does. My results after making the switch leaves me confident In what works best (at this time) for me. The times I have tried to switch back and forth for comparison with the focus have given me mental distress. 😉 🤷‍♂️ So as my Dr said, "if it hurts when you do that, Don't do that."
Edit to add afterthought: Anyone that has ventured into my Experiments thread should notice that My Campaign is for Equality, not Superiority.

A blond goes to the doctor: Dr, it hurts when I press here. It hurts when I press here and here too. The doctor shook his head sadly, "Girl, you have a broken finger."

Talking about banking, I decided to play a barbox tournament nearby that was paying well. Been years since I played on a barbox. I ran off a couple racks then started banking figuring kicks and banking would probably be what won and lost sets. Banking was working pretty good, I tried kicking and was off. I genuinely forgot for a few minutes that the cue ball and object balls were different and wouldn't come off the rails the same. Not a hard adjustment to make, I had just forgotten I needed to!

Equal Rights!
Seems to be on stage center of the world politics show.
Equality on a level playing field is all I strive for in my pool competition. I don't favor handicapped competition and I even have enjoyed competition in events that I had no chance to win. I got to test myself and support the sport that I enjoy.
I better Ramble along.....bye bye tattle tail s. 😉
 
My aspirin prescription. 20250415_063144.jpg One size fits all morning workout. When I quit my dayjob and sought to see, "how long I could last". My practice was break em and kick em in. As I could catch the kicked ball and recycle. I mean Sheeesh 15 balls for a quarter???? Ah Those were the days. 😉
Kicks Like A Mule became my ring game name. Earned no awarded. Well awarded after earned. 🤷‍♂️
The 3 ball break gives me instant feedback as to "how I am hittin em.
Whitey should pop back 8 inches and sit....
 
Spreading more knowledge or is it manure?
The Swing thought is more important than Most think. Wink. The Sight Aim is a Nugget for Sure. Of course I am already modifying to my uh personal mantra 🤷‍♂️
So "Thank You for your input" was my politically correct schooling response. This time it's heart felt.
 
Just want to share a good look at Ronnie's eyes on the break off. At the very start, no less. 🤷‍♂️ Read 'em and weep.
 
Here's an interesting study for eye patterns.
The majority of high definition looks at the eyes are other than the final focus but that's good information too. 🤷‍♂️
 
Greg. Nobody here appreciates your destruction of decent threads with firehose prattle.
Thank you for the Giggles.
I see you brought the Prattle brigade. 🤷‍♂️
One man's prattle is another's treasure. It all starts with what You value.
Seriously????? WHAT IS YOUR name?
How old are you?
Can You Fight? 😉 At 6 years old, the wrong answer can get you hit in the gut. (I have seen). His answere to MOM was, "he said he could fight." With a shrug 🤷‍♂️ As a witness I have to speak The Truth. In a card game.....uh no.
Well I had to confirm to Mom, "he said he could fight" 🤷‍♂️ So she didn't send him to Venezuela. 😉

Somebody flipped these posts back there. He was looking at the stack. There's no particular reason to do a snooker break blind. Is there?
 
ok... clearly it wasn't and you did have the opportunity to word it correctly to avoid the veiled intent, so you'll have to apologize me for taking your words literally.
I apologise for not telling you to dae one ya total roaster. Go back under your bridge.

No worries... Lots of people miss-speak their thoughts on forums. Glad we could clarify what you meant. Rather than let those expecting coherent responses be mislead.
