APA Dr Cue Lesson #53: Deprogramming A Miss

http://www.poolplayers.com - Dr Cue Pool Lesson #53: Deprogramming A Miss. Almost every player has certain shots that they do not like and consequently "miss" them over and over again. The problem with this scenario is that once a shot gets missed literally dozens of times, the "right brain" becomes programmed to assume that the literal miss is what the player is supposed to do because that is what is always sees and simply "goes along for the ride". In other words the "literal miss" becomes a "make in disguise" even though it is still on the table. The left-brain argues the point and a mental feud of sorts takes place until something is done to deprogram the right brain assumption. By shortening the distance between the cue ball and the object ball substantially the object ball is made literally over and over again. This creates a repetitious implant of a ball dropping by sight, sound, and feel. Increasing this distance in small increments will allow for the "make in disguise -- former literal miss" to become a "literal make" with mental harmony.

This is something I've fought myself. The shot is the que ball by or on the side rail on the foot end within half a diamond of the side pocket on either side. The (seems always the 8 or 9) objectball is near the string spot of the rack. A near straight in shot. From 4-16 inches: 99.99% make. From the rail? -30% make... I shot the shot from close for an afternoon from close first, then pocket reducers, then from the rail, then from the rail with reducers... I'm yet to miss the shot yet. With som
