Since I bought my pool table (Diamond Pro) 4 years ago, I've shelved the red circle CB that came with my Super Aramith Pros in favor of the measles CB that I bought separately. Just yesterday I decided to start playing the 9-ball ghost with the red circle CB instead of the measles CB. My game improved INSTANTLY by a ball or two. I've always thought it was easier moving the red circle CB around the table compared to the measles CB, but I had no idea how much that would translate to such a noticeable "improvement" in my offensive 9-ball game. For the past year playing with the measles CB, I've been averaging losing to the 9-ball ghost 7-2 or 7-3, and never winning more than 4 games in a race to 7. Just yesterday hitting around with the red circle, I almost beat the ghost for the very first time losing 6-7 (I was actually up 6-4 but just couldn't seal the deal). Everything just feels easier with the red circle.
I'm trying to rationalize my somewhat drastic improvement in play. Is it really because my shot making accuracy and position-play precision go up because I can use less stroke/spin to move the red circle CB by the same amount? Maybe it's because I'm getting less throw with the red circle CB since it's cleaner and has less wear and tear compared to my measles CB? Maybe the improvement is all mental? Maybe it's all a coincidence?
Anyone else have a similar experience?
