PAT 1 -standard shot 1-
41 out of 51 - 80%

Last night, my 9-yr old son took my phone and captured some video. I apologize for the shakey camera and limited video range, but it's nice to finally analyze the stroking technique and pacing from a 3rd person point of view.
When I practice the standard shots from the PAT material, I'll take all 15 balls and try to get through them on one set-up then switch sides. This year, I wanted to focus on fundamentals more than anything. Keeping still! Focused on my breathing patterns also.
So repetition is key. I try to average 5 shots a minute of seriously focused proper mechanics. For the standard shot 1, Finding center ball and holding it at center table-stop shot is the target for this drill. (Not all shots lined up perfectly so there is some cue ball deviation left or right on some shots)
And the equipment keeps me honest: 9 foot gold crown II, with modified pockets 4 1/4" corners.
Thanks for watching...The final 3 minutes I was happy with the fundamentals.
