Proof the genius just look at the contact point and hit it ?

Kid is good!

Looks like he just checks to make sure the 5 goes passed that other ball.
 
Kid has nothing to worry about except play pool.

No wife.

No mortgage.

No car payment.

He can give Pool all his time.
 
Kids between 2 and 6 years old can really learn and enhance motor skills and hand-eye coordination skills much quicker than older kids or adults. There are certain windows of opportunity that occur between birth and puberty. Like learning to speak a language -- after about 2 years old, it's a lot harder to learn a language well enough to sound like a true native of that language. But kids that grow up in a household where more than one language is spoken will have a much greater advantage mastering any of the languages that he or she heard between birth and 2 years old, and they will sound as authentic as a native speaker of that language.

Likewise, kids that start a sport when they're 4 or 5 will have a much easier time mastering that sport than kids who start when they're 15 or 16. It's due to optimal windows of opportunity for learning.

I'm getting old, my windows of opportunity are seized up, lol. They have weather stripping tape and 50+ years of caulk jamming the seams... makes them very difficult to open!
 
He does the same on a wide open long shot

That tells me he probably learned how to aim from someone who teaches contact points or ghostball. I don't use contact points, but I look at that line from the ob to pocket quite often. From behind the cb I don't pay attention to the contact point.
 
Looks like quality practice time to me.......hitting ball after ball in the proper manner.........wonder, if in his life time, he’ll how close to hitting a million balls he will get........

Quality table time, not aiming method is the secret........
 
... wonder, if in his life time, he’ll how close to hitting a million balls he will get........
A million shots in a lifetime is not so much. If you average just one hour of play per day, and hit just 2 shots per minute, you'll have hit a million shots in about 23 years.
 
BTW looking at the contact point is wrong. Looking where the CB needs to be is right.

Read up on central vision and eye convergence. Looking at the contact point means your vision is at a angle to the CB direction of travel cept for a shot that has no angle.

Well he certainly wasn't looking at a contact point, so no problem there.

A good pro would be spending 8 hours a day on the table . Dennis was spending some 12 hours a day at Jay's place. He used to match for hours and hours in the Philippines before he came over here. SVB is spending the whole day practicing now too .
