To me it just represents someone going through a repetitive motion without the aid of visual clues misguiding him.

Throwing a baseball is just going through repetitive motions so why doesn't every pitcher get a perfect game?

Status: offline 		Lack of mental discipline leading to anxiety and other emotions that stop the pitcher swinging his arm and releasing the ball exactly the same way every time.

Last time I went bowling my fingers wouldn't fit in the tiny holes no matter how much I forced them, I suppose I should have chosen one of the heavier balls. Their was this youth there I was playing against he had the strangest technique which was probably illegal but I noted even then there were very few differences in his action that ensured he hit the gutter every time so why not a different action for a strike? We don’t like to think the games we play are so easy if only we played them with less passion and more analysis.

Status: offline 		Case in point male tennis players:

Serve, ace, serve, ace, serve, ace, serve, ace etc. etc. until someone makes a mistake.
