I was one of the people up also , {I was painting my toenails}.
When I first got to Arizona I felt well enough to play in a small tournament .
They asked what rating I was and since I had never been rated before I asked for a list of criteria.
They gave me a listing from 1 to 10 with varying skill sets like can't bank at all , makes 1 bank out of 3 , makes every bank they see .
can't make a ball hanging in the hole , makes 3 in a row almost every trip to the table and never missed a ball since 1970.
I told the guy I would be a weak 4 or one of the strongest 3s ever.
Of course he thought I was joking.
It's funny how almost everyone in the pool world, will say how bad you play , until it is time to match up.
Then all of a sudden you have this great stroke and never miss a ball and play safeties like a roadman.
Heck, a few times they even convinced me.
Hang in there Joey, maybe you should go back to the basics and figure out where you lost it.
Sometimes you can have too much info, and you lose your feel.
Good luck, even if you are fishin.
