Six Pointed Star

I found a weak spot. Playing the 2 to get on the 3, when the angle is almost straight in. From where the CB is now, to where the circle is, anywhere in that range. Going forward just to hit the end rail and bounce out a bit. The trouble I'm having is I keep hitting it fat and scratching (or jawing the CB) after pocketing the ball (even from the 2nd CB position), or I hit it too thin and miss. I've been hitting it a high and a bit of outside. That's my first choice. Would you guys hit it like that? Or only high? Or, high inside? I tried all 3 variations a bunch of times and didn't have high success with any.

Tougher tables did not help USA pros for 20 years

Yes. Fargo rated handicapped tournies are all that are going in my area. It does de-motivate for sure. Hence, I only played in two all year. Won one, finished middle of the pack in the other. Spotting most of the time, sometimes quite a bit. I'm going hiking more this year. Pool rooms are for casual fun for this guy these days. Wait, then again, has anything changed? 🤪

Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

It sure seems like a lot of posters would benefit from reading and embracing Hal Mix’s Pocket Billiards Secrets.
Just because you’ve done something all your life, or a very long time, doesn’t mean you couldn’t perform better.

The issue becomes change is difficult and often seemingly impossible, for older players. Habits get formed that
are really hard to change and impatience takes control. They tend to become frustrated and revert to old habits.

Now that’s perfectly fine and basically they’ve limited their opportunity to improve other than through repetition.
They’ll practice, employ drills, hit lots of balls & pocket most too. The value and importance of center ball gets lost.

English is not needed or necessary on every shot, especially cut shots, when angular cut shots are so simple & easy
to predict & control cue ball location. But as long you can run the pool table, then you don’t need to change a thing.

Kinda agree. With all these books and no certified curriculum, people end up rote learning. Not even sure what that means.
