Hey all:
I've been getting back into practicing after taking most of the summer off. Was really busy and didn't have a lot of time to shoot. Besides, was in a heck of a slump in the spring and just felt like a needed a break.
Anyway, I came back and my game seems to be pretty good. Really focusing on staying still during the shot, keeping head down and stroking straight.
But, I'm having a problem with practicing long straight shots. I'm placing the OB about half way up the table and shooting from near the bottom rail (cross the table at the opposite corner pocket). For whatever reason, I'm terrible at these. I "think" I'm hitting straight...and know where to hit the OB...but they aren't going straight. I'm missing by sometimes half a diamond.
Any advice would be appreciated...oh...side note...don't have problems with long cut shots. In fact, I think I'm hitting them better than ever...just having trouble on shots where I have to hit the ob full.
What's the solution...just keep practicing?
Thanks
John
