Quoted from SimonBaird:I think people are undervaluing nudging. Go watch Bowen tutorial and see how often he saves the ball heading for the outlanes.
I know focusing and improving on this skill has had the biggest impact on my comp play.
I do agree with others that focus has a big part to play in tournaments. You always need to be commited to every ball no matter what.
Nudging is higher up there to me also. I'm terrible at it, but routinely see top players savings balls without a danger or understanding when and how to nudge. I've tried to figure out this skill for a long time and feel like it's what would really make my game excel. I feel like I've watched every available tutorial out there and it still doesn't click.
