http://www.poolplayers.com - Dr. Cue Pool Lesson 29: Game Victory with Imaginary Position - No one is immune from missing an easy 8-ball to win the game. During a game a player makes a ball and plays position a maximum 7 out of 8 shots or 87.5% of the time. On the final shot the brain registers making the ball, but not playing position. The brain short circuits, so to speak, 12.5% of the time, and does not understand why it is not playing position on the final shot. This right brain thing can be fixed by creating a mental ball for imaginary position to an easy place on the table. Shooting the 8-ball now becomes part of the normal shooting journey with a subsequent imaginary shot providing victory!

  • interesting, thanks for sharing ...

  • good 

  • Dr. Cue is great, take a look at ilikepool website iLIKEpool dott com

  • A great tip for beginners. I compete and also show to newer players that trick. It prevents you from scratching when playing carelessly and the worst thing in a tournament is to scratch on pocketing the 8 ball.

  • I'd say that would depend on your opponent and their ball positions. For example, if the 8 ball is at the far end of the table, your opp can make routine shots, and they've got one or two make-able balls (in your estimation), then yeah, I'd try to hide the cue ball with the 8 or put the cue ball on or as close to a rail as I could.

  • Hm, I'll have to start keeping tabs on making the 8/9 ball for wins and see what happens if I don't play imaginary position. Usually I'll do something to the cue ball to prevent it from scratching or just stopping it, so effectively playing some kind of position w/o meaning to.

  • I was thinking that. I'd rather think of safety, control power on 8 just incase u do miss.

  • I just pretend i won the game off break and walk off even though I didnt. It works.

  • wouldn't it also make sense to actually play defensive on the 8ball shot cue position? find a good spot to leave the cue for a more difficult shot for your opponent? So it wouldn't even have to be imaginary. Just a thought...

  • it's real rocks !

    is the best way to have the game sure and save in my opinion...
