Not the first time I've heard this from C player. You think you know but how can you know what you don't know?! The gap between C and A speed is huuuuuuuuuuuge!

yep ... i have met plenty of guys who think they are better than they really are.

as for me... when some one asks how i made a certain shot or say i play better than what my handicap is ? i tellem i don't know nuthin and just get lucky sometimes.:grin-square:
 
I see and think like an A, but play like a C, too.
When I'm shooting with my off hand.
 
Most of us are great planners and very bad executors. :grin-square:

I personally play and think like a C player. I know which shot I can make and which ones I can't..

On training subject that was raised. Previously I only played 9ball and 8ball for 2-3hours a day for practice.

Recently, I started doing drills and training on specific shots and cue ball positions. I can say that this is a much better and faster way to improve. But it can get boring sometimes. :embarrassed2:
 
You may think you think like an A, but me thinks the way you think an A thinks may not be the way an A truly thinks. I think.

Plenty of C players think they have the knowledge of A players. That is why people hit plateaus. Unless an A player develops a serious disability, such as extremely poor eyesight, there is no way he will fall to a C level.
 
If this guy can beat me he gets all my money.

Although the wary part of me says he's a B player trying to look like a C player.

The flip side is if you watched me practice you'e rate me lower too…but I play a lil better than I bang 'em around. Maybe he does too.

In the few states I've been in long enough to understand the handicap system he doesn't rate. Meaning he would be overrated as a 'C' and have to improve to be competitive even at the lowest ranking (for a man).

I have A LOT of trouble believing that the guy in the video plays as bad as he seems to during practice.

This. Anytime I hear someone say they make shots like a 'B' player but think like an 'A' player…I am ready to go all in. There's no possible way that someone who has not been an 'A' player can think like an 'A' player. If you can't pocket balls, you *can't* think about the game the way someone who *can* pocket balls does. Unless, like you note, you used to be an 'A' player.

Other than players declining in age I've NEVER, and I mean NEVER seen any 'B' player that thinks like an 'A' player. And I've gambled with hundreds or thousands of folks.
