The left side and right side were simple in design, which reminded me to present the amazing nature of the overall brain functions in an easy to understand manner. I am confident that you will achieve a thorough understanding of how both sides of the brain are supposed to work in harmony with each other so that you might achieve a “mental victory” both on and off the table. The brain has ten specific and primary senses, as follows: Five Left-Brain Senses (LBS): Analytical Nature (Point-By-Point; Step-By-Step) Sight (physical sense with eyes) - See aiming / alignment lines, balls, pockets, cue stick, etc. Sound (physical sense with ears) - Hear tip hitting ball, clicking and dropping of balls, etc. Feeling (physical sense with hands, etc.) - Feel cue sensation through hands / arms to brain. Taste (physical sense with mouth) - Taste food / drink – Luther Lassiter (nicknamed “Wimpy) ate hot dogs like “Wimpy” in Popeye eating hamburgers – played often better as he “tasted” each shot, so to speak, in a flavor – associated comfort zone. Smell (physical sense with nose) - Smell odors - personally I love the smell of popcorn pop- ping, so if that scenario exists, I “smell” each shot, so to speak, in an odor – associated comfort zone. Note: These senses develop the foundation of our game point-by-point – which cre- ate the perception of an: act / process / situation / environment (often with emotional attachment). Five Right-Brain Senses (RBS): Free Flowing (Automatic Release; “Alive Stroke”) Sight (Mental implant to “mind’s eye” seeing all in its entirety before shot) - then releasing! Sound (Mental implant to audio banks before shot) - then releasing! Feeling (Mental implant to tactile endings which allows feel before shot) - then releasing! Taste (Mental implant of eating flavors before shot) - then releasing! Smell (Mental implant of odor factors before shot) - then releasing! Notes: These implanted / engrained senses are released automatically after significant programmingand/or conditioning of act / process / situation via repetition and “perfect” practice. These senses see, hear, feel, taste, and smell, but do not “focus” like the left brain, but rather “observe” something happening (from the sidelines, so to speak). These senses do not care if something is “right or wrong,” but will “short circuit” if something is done that is outside the conditioned / programmed act / process, situation it has learned from long effort / implant. Moral Of Story: Literal makes and literal misses can both be OK to the right brain, if conditioned and programmed by the left brain! When applied to practice routines, dozens of EASY left-brain exercises will produce consistent “make” implants to the right brain, which will establish higher confidence levels for your game, until next time, when...

  • 2001 Bob Jewett
    Bob Jewett Combinations and Throw Some surprising insights into the world of "throw." In my column last April, I covered some of the details of throw. Here are two related and surprising experiments for you to try. As a reminder, a ball is said to be "thrown" when its path is not directly away from the spot where another ball contacts it. This deviation can be due to spin on the cue ball, or simply from the motion of the striking ball across the struck ball on a cut shot. Most beginners will shoot the shot in Diagram 1 wrong. The two object balls are frozen together and pointed about six inches away from the pocket. A novice will attempt to "cut" the second ball by playing to side A of the balls, perhaps expecting the first ball to move to the right before pushing the second ball towards the pocket. Of course, we all know that you have to hit the shot on side B, and let the friction between the balls drag the second ball towards the pocket. But how does the shot change if the balls aren't touching? With some separation, as in Diagram 2, there will be two effects, the throw from the sur- face friction, and the cut because the first ball does move to the side before it hits the second ball. Which effect will dominate? If the balls are separated by a hair's breadth, the shot hasn't changed much and you would expect nearly the same result as for frozen balls.
