What was the one thing that actually made you a better position player?
I have one that I'll share later in this thread. Twice I found something to
change my way of thinking. For one it was the distance control for the
speed of the shot angle. The required angle when drawing or with follow
and working off the 90* tangent line to move the cue ball into position
was an enlightenment.
I knew the CB would move sideways, but it wasn't until 1978 that I knew
that it actually followed a right angle path. I read that fact in a pool book
written by Robert Byrne. I was a fair position player at the time..... but a
cue ball angle that always went 90 degrees with a dead ball hit... Wow.
The other something I found on my own. My position play improved to a
point that I was running out on much better players. After watching those
players I knew they played the same. That discovery I made about 1980.
Not to just say it's the same answer that someone else gave.. I left a clue.
I'll get back after I read a few more revealing pointers from other players.
