A number of pro players I've watched in matches have a habit of pointing with their cue tip on the cloth to the area or spot they either plan to leave the CB before they shoot, or doing it after they shoot, showing where they wanted to leave the CB, but failed to get it to that spot. Just curious, are they doing this for the benefit of the spectators watching, or for themselves?
I can see if they do it before shooting, that it helps them visualize the spot the are trying to get the CB to for the next shot. However, I can't really see why they do it after they shoot and miss their spot. Do they not think we are smart enough to realize they missed their intended CB position without having to literally point it out to us?
