The Beauty of GhostBall Contact Patch

[robsnotes4u]

the correct statement is

Joey, I imagine by the time someone gets to world-champion caliber, he or she is no longer strictly observing much of any aiming system. He or she is likely just "feeling" the aim, just automatically connecting the two balls at the proper angle. The champion may well have used a formal system in his or her developmental period, but "hitting a million balls" has so inscribed the needed connections in their subconscious that aiming is just automatic; he or she no longer has a need to go step-by-step through an aiming "system."

As Jim Rempe said in the oft-mentioned 1995 Pool & Billiard Magazine article on aiming "I don't really visualize the [ghost] ball anymore, it's automatic."

Babe Cranfield was a world champion, and he advocated the "Arrow" as a ghost-ball training device, especially for newer players. Whether he established his point of aim in that manner (without the Arrow, of course) in his own play, I don't know.

I don't consciously visualize the ghost ball anymore, my subconscious does it automatically. Therefore his subconscious has been taught the system, which it still uses to make the shot. Like Playing in the zone. That is just how the mind works.

I prefer to say that the beauty of CTE is in the accuracy.
