Lol. My mom, being a teacher, would say people are wired differently and there's nothing wrong with it. Dad had a more colorful way with words. He'd say some people are born "straight-wired", or "hot-wired".
Your parents seem like very together people. I like them. What happened? :grin::grin:
I suppose some players are wired to think all A players can routinely spank the ghost 5-0 or run 8 or 9 racks of 9-ball at will.
Nope, not true at all. But at least a couple of racks and not necessarily consecutively. What can be learned immediately is the way they play the table based on the CB speed, the amount of spin, and especially the angles.
Getting natural angles to move the CB for an entire rack is the telling tale for any player. That starts immediately after the break when evaluating the entire table to determine the problem ball or balls. If a player is regularly getting out of line, on the wrong side to shoot at the OB, having to spin the hell out of the CB to get back or blast it at warp speed all around the table, you can spot whether they're an A, B, or lower player in a flash.
My best on a 9-ft diamond is 4, so that must make me at least a high C or low B on this scale.
That wouldn't be my standards.
To put it back on track with this thread about knowing whether or not a player needs an aiming system....I don't know if you need one or not. It's an individual thing.
Doesn't that depend on how satisfied the player is with his game? What does one do when their eyes start to go bad? I know, get corrective lenses but it still might not be as sharp as an eagle prior to it.
