What is the One Major Player Flaw You See Most Often At The Pool Hall

[Rusty in Montana]

I'd much rather take the shot.
Builds Confidence. My aim is to win. Not let you win. By taking the shot, if I miss, I beat myself, you didn't.
Don't know unless you let the horses run.

That and if you do make the tough shot it can install a bit of fear or respect in the Heart and mind of whomever you are playing against , which can become a slight mental edge because they may think he made that tough shot what do you have to do to beat him ?

It's simple , run out the table !

In general, it's mechanics/technique....which obviously includes: stance, grip, bridge, stroke, follow-through, etc. ...

Pro systems aim themselves. The players are just along for the ride. Gives the leagues a model to emulate.

Some guy was in our hall selling these books called 'Pokenhope.' Said it was an advanced aiming system of the pros. I don't get it. All the pages were blank!!

I'm a Shotmaker. Caution be damned. I'm either gonna run over you, or lose my ass in the process, but you'll know I've been there.
You won't Beat me.

People critiquing other peoples game when they have many flaws themselves.

If we had pool rooms and I noticed all the players doing that I'd know if I were the best ever, they'd have to get copious weight.

I finally got around to shooting some video of my eye placement to answer that age old question. Truthfully it had never occured to me b4. I must have a wide field of vision, ie: peripheral, bcuz in most cases I couldn't see my eyes shift. Almost like they zeroed in on the shot ahead of time and then backed off to a safe distance b4 pulling the trigger.
So they could take it all in. I can see the cue ball and the OB at the same time.
Uh oh. Now I've gone and done it.
