The ball doesn't always go where you want it, but it always goes where you put it.
Why do I need my money?
It also increases the side action.
This shows that the player is not thinking properly::
In reverse order::
Why would being a bad pool player make you a bad person ??
Why would loosing make you a bad pool player ??
Why would the ability to miss make you lose ??
If you are a pool player--you ARE GOING TO lose--no two ways about it--even Efren lost sometimes--but he did it with grace and so should you.
Nothing about what you do on the pool table can make you a bad person, but how you react to things happening on a pool table CAN !!
And this is why I am never afraid of a shot--I make it I win--I miss I lose--neither changes my innate goodness.
Jack Nicklaus, on the subject of golf, offered that fear, pressure and doubt are all part of the game. Jack noted that "if you don't feel them, you're already dead." Jack offered that "a champion is the one who manages them best." Interestingly enough, Jack was a strong believer in "selective memory," meaning remembering the good and blocking out the bad to the greatest extent possible, as an approach to managing them.
I think it's, more or less, the same in pool. The most fearless player I've ever seen over the glorious green felt is Jose Parica.

Seems childish to me , but hey , it's a "Scared New World" out there.

I used to say, "Pool is like life." Now I don't remember why I said that.
