Today I started my new line of miniature pool cues. I always take a few to the Mosconi cup. Pat Fleming and Allison Fisher received theirs in 2015.

As far as my game goes I am working on my concentration.

Learning how to be a vertical player. Taking a nice conducive angle and making the CB go to a spot in every direction with vertical cue strikes. Take the very highest cue position and then the very lowest draw back position, measure those angles and then drive the CB to a ball width all the way around with just vertical cue tips on the CB. Once this becomes a routine, it's almost able to get shape everywhere on the table with just a vertical cue tip on the CB with just speed control.

That's good stuff.

Seems like there would be a good market for that.

I was working hard on concentration back in the spring by just seeing how many balls I could continuously run while each shot making sure I followed my routine to a T. My biggest challenge is my dog, she can't go more than 8-10 balls w out coming over to me w a toy wanting to play.

Regardless it has paid off.

How you working on it?

I started playing the Ghost on a tight Diamond 9fter. I beat the 5 ball Ghost and then the 6 ball Ghost and have recently been besting the 7 ball Ghost. It takes concentration to continue to improve at this drill. It is also measurable and somewhat entertaining. I live in an area where there are no other players so its easy to get board and quit playing unless I have a goal.

As far as a market for my cues...its there but weak. I am the only one in the world that makes mini cues so that might tell you something:embarrassed2:.

Working on coming off the rails with consistency, not holding balls anymore but trying for over and back position on the next. But to be accurate off the rail and hit your mark on the opposite rail is the goal.



This is obviously the bar that is set....

But right now in order to get there...getting more consistent using Bert Kinister's ladder drill...volume 32 and 33 of his video collection....

I love how Bert approaches this part of 9 ball.
