A friend pointed me to this article earlier this week.
He read this NY Times article and said, "I couldn’t help but think that it is somehow applicable to pool. Maybe some form of visualization of larger pockets instead of small circles projected onto the table?"
How Perception Can Boost Performance
Basically, a psychology professor made a golf putting green hole look smaller or bigger with lights and shadowing. Then 36 volunteers putted. The results are unexpected of what you might think would happen.
You can read the article for all the details. And, my friend is correct - wondering if visualization can be similarly accomplished with pocket sizes when we play pool?
