Admittedly, I play at a deliberate pace, walk around the table, visualize cb tracks, plot 2 ways shots, cluster breakouts, etc...stuf like that. On the slow side, but not sharky slooooooooowww.
The actual shot doesn't take long.
.....
I was playing a guy yesterday, that seemed in a hurry to miss, both his shots and mine.
He was constantly checking his watch, as I surveyed the table.
I eventually found my self hurrying and missing shots(hey I miss enough anyway) that I expect to make.
I don't think it is a shark move...just an impatient habit on his part. I noticed also that he jumps up on every shot, and doesn't give himself a real chance to run balls, except for hangers.
Do you think he just wants his miss to be over quickly? The balls don't explode.
Part of me wants him to ask for some advice, but I don't think he has time for that. I don't think I should offer unless asked.
Eventually, I just went back to my normal PSR . The games didn't take that long...since he seldom makes a ball, and is quick about it.
How do you deal with 'clock watchers'?
