Measure of Skill

World Class Play

Do you think that one's skill should be measured by how they play when they are at their best, or at their worst? I think skill should be measured about how one plays when they are struggling. The reason why is because almost all of the male professionals have a top gear where they just never miss, so that kind of evens them all out, but there is a big difference on how everyone plays when they are off their game.

Take Efren for example. Most of the time when he is struggling he is still capable of beating anyone in the world. Efren is considered playing bad if he misses 4 or 5 balls in a race to 11 or something. I've seen other top players play bad and they would miss alot more than that. What do you all think? Do you think it's how Efren plays when he is struggling, which is still world class, is the reason why he is the best player ever?

Efren plays world class because he uses a world class aiming system, period.

Solid Game

A solid mental game, dedication, desire, and consistancy is what would make someone the best player ever in my opinion.

As far as measuring someones skill by how they play when they are struggling goes, would you measure it from when they are "just struggling" or when they are "really struggling"? It just cant be done that way. You measure skill by consistancy and how someone plays when they are on. That is what makes all of the players force themselves to bear down and or get better at all skill levels. When someone has to play up, or has some pressure to play better than they are.. they improve their game. I personally think skill should be measured by consistancy like a batting average in baseball BUT then you can get into sandbagging... throwing some smaller ranked games to let ones skill level go down so they can have an advantage at a higher paying one. However if you throw out a few of the lower games then you might make it not worth it to sandbag.

A solid and productive game comes from an aiming system that is solid and productive, not to mention, accurate and consistent. There is nothing else to consider.

This is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it.

I'm with LastTwo on this one. All good players have a gear where they hardly (if at all) miss a ball. It's hard to beat any good player when they hit that gear. What's the difference if you play Joe Shortstop a set and he never misses a ball or you play Efren a set where he never misses a ball? Either way, your opponent never missed. However, there's a big difference when Joe Shortstop struggles and when Efren struggles.

Sincerely,

Joe
