Yeah, that's amazing, but how does it make sense for players, especially for beginners, which don't know the correct technique and the cue action? I think thats the main disadvantage of that video
Ronnie O'Sullivan has a bad habit of misreading the scoreboard, otherwise he would have dropped the blue in deadweight to beat Mark Williams. He did something similar in the 2014 World Championship Final, when he overhit a red into the left middle (Baulk at the top of the screen) and allowed Mark Selby to clear up and steal the frame to lead 12-11; that shift in momentum ultimately gave Selby the victory 18-14, when it could have easily been the other way round.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for: 1: just (generally) including each shot once 2: Not adding your own inane, irrelevant and dumbass commentary over those who do it better. You have a new subscriber.
I've yet to hear a clear explanation of how misscues happen. I've seen loads of them, I've experienced loads of them but I've yet to hear a definitive reason of why they occur. If you never chalk your tip that can be a contributing factor, but even if you religiously chalk your tip before every shot, they'll still happen spuriously without any obvious reason. Hitting the white below centre can cause it, yet that's exactly what you'll do to just screw back. If you strike downwards on the white, that can cause it, yet that's exactly what you'll do to execute a masse shot. If you were to edit the clips shown here to pause them at the moment the cue hits the white ball, then guess what happens next, a lot of them you'd predict will be a pretty normal shot. I can't see anything obvious that the player is doing wrong. I've also experienced the same, I can make screw shots of every kind, yet, out of the blue, I'll misscue and not have any idea why. I'd really like to see a high speed camera of a misscue to see exactly what's happening, but I think it would be a difficult thing to do, as I wouldn't even know how to do it deliberately.
