I've found myself motivated for the first time in a long time to better my game during the summer months. Ive always been one to play less when it's warm and spend more time out doors.
This year is different. I just invested a large sum of money in my man cave and have completely refurnished my pool room. I've always been a b player. (Skill level 5 in aPA back and forth between 4 and 5 in TAP) my main problem is consistency and reading a rack. I am an avid 8 ball player and can consistently break and run 5-7 balls but will choke on an easy shot when I know I could finish the run or will run myself into a corner where I have no options to go from.
I guess what I'm looking for is a better mindset to keep from getting excited when I know a break n run is right there a shot or two away, or instead of trying to run the rack having the ability to slow myself down and look ahead for a good moment or position to set up for safety play
