When shooting pool with your eyes closed, it is important not to look in the other direction. One might assume that since one's eyes are closed, what freakin' difference does it make? You're already not even looking at the stupid balls. Well, if you can get your mind off of looking at balls for just one second, you might realize that it has something to do with the inner ear. Something about balance and orientation. When you're looking off to the left, your drunk dumb ass might fall over or completely miss the ball. However, if you're looking straight ahead, even with your eyes closed, you can like, remember what the table looks like and maybe still hit the ball. Of course, I'm better than you, so I can look wherever I want with my eyes closed and still sink the ball. Just remember when you're practicing, to keep looking straight ahead. And don't hurt yourself.
You're welcome.

"Well, if you can get your mind off of looking at balls for just one second..." no, never! that's where my line of sight usually falls anyway.. *cough*
I want to believe that you have magical pool playing powers, but I don't think your success is due to any uncanny skill or omnipotent intervention. Instead, I think it's simply the culmination of your experiences grappling with rigid shafts and multi-colored balls in the unlit restrooms of closed highway rest stops. You play with the equipment "blind" enough times, you tend to develop a knack for finding the right hole. And you've definitely got the knack.
