Hi Everyone. My first post of many I hope. Hoping to learn as much as I can and get back into the game that I love.
I've been away from pool since 2003 and have decided I want to get back into it and start playing some tournaments again. I just ordered a Diamond and am pretty excited to start working on my game again.
I played on a masters pool team for a number of years before I stopped playing. I was never the best on the team but I could hold my own. Won a few tournaments through the years and had a ton of fun playing and meeting people all over North America. Was a great ride before I had a family.
Where I live doesn't have much of a pool scene but i hope to get into some singles events in our area or the province over.
My question for the instructors is about aim and a bit about technique. When I was playing a lot I always had a hard time with straight in shots on a nine foot. I would miss the pocket to the right every time and by just a bit. It told me my aim was off or my dominate eye was causing me to aim incorrectly. When I start playing again or practicing again I want to start with my eyes and alignment. Who can help me with how to get me started back properly with my alignment and aiming? I don't mind buying books or Videos to learn. Or even working with someone to help me get started back into the game.
Sorry for the long post. I look forward to learning from you all and excited to get back at it.
