Visualisation is key to alot of games and can be hard to initially incorporate, but by practicing eventually you should program yourself to just doing it without it being a hardship. The best pool players are the ones that understand the geometry and force and are best able to visualise it - eventually they just the see the shots, where they are aiming...etc - the best golfers are no exception - its a game of geometrically aligned force...it is just generally harder for people to accept that due to the influence of golf digests and those of the same type - 'position golf'....

That may be one of the MOST ASTUTE observations on HOGAN that I have ever read. I have read a lot of books about Hogan. None have made a more relevant point.
Wonder what those pool sharks would be like if the had to shoot from the side of the ball with a hooked-tipped que?
You are on fire in this thread my friend!
