""Sighting" the Stroke - part 2"

What is more, neither my father nor myself
have ever seen a player of any note who kept
his eye continually on the cue-ball; in fact,
I had never heard of such a theory until Mr.
Fry propounded it in his book. I advise my
readers to forget all about it, as I consider
it impossible to play billiards by sighting your
stroke in that way. Naturally, when the
balls are close together, you see all three of them when you make your stroke, but in
every other case, sight your cue-ball first in
the manner I have advised, and then concentrate all your power of vision on the
object ball.
That was how the great John Roberts used his eyes at the billiard table. It is the method exploited by Tom Newman, Willie Smith, and every other prominent professional billiardist now before the public, and I think it most unwise to go against it because of a theory advanced by even such a distinguished amateur. |
