Driving 9 hours and not enough sleep is not good.........
Well, i got done with the match with Bartram in Columbus and had to get my van worked on the next day.
Got out of the motel at 11:00. Only got about 6 hours sleep after being wore out mentally and physically.
They put in a CV joint but should have put in 2. Still have a big problem with the shaking.
Plus i found out why I couldn't put gas in the van very good. Someone was stealing my gas and the hose broke off in the gas tank plugging it up.
By the time I got out of the service station it was about 5:30 and I took off to Beloit. About a 9 hours drive with a few stops.
Got to Beloit and the motels I usually stay at there were full. Some Jimmy Buffet concert going on. Sat was full everywhere.
I finally found a room at about 6:00.
Tired, wore out and very stiff and sore i finally got some sleep. It wasn't enough to be in shape to play pool. I lost 2 matches in the tourny and felt like i was helpless.
But i did the best I could do considering the circumstances. If I would have not paid the entry ahead of time i wouldn't even have tried to travel and play knowing that this is the recipe for disaster if you trying to win a tourny.
So basically the gas money, entry fee, motel room, calcutta money was basically wasted.
About $700 spent before i hit a ball. This is the amount that most of these players are investing that travel to get here. So you know they are rested and have done everything they can to be ready.
My boat was sunk on the way here for sure.
Whenever i drive 9 hours i need a day before I feel good enough to compete. Really compete.
The plan was to take another crack at Bartram here on the bartable.
Unlike the 9" diamond with 4" pockets the diamond pro cuts are my cup of tea.
I am doing lessons here in Beloit today for sure so playing Chris might be out of the question.
If there is anyone close to Beloit that wants to learn Perfect Aim just give me a call. I'll try to get to you before I take off.
In the meantime.
I'm here at the carom room doing what i do. Helping players play this game we love so much better in a short period of time.
I had a young up and coming player come up to a player last night that I was going to give a lesson to. Ben told me that the young gun told him that he had heard that Perfect Aim didn't work very good.
After Ben got done with the lesson i asked him what he thought about the young guns comment.
If he only knew how well this works. Ben was delighted with what he learned for sure. We had been trying to hook up for about 3 years. Nothing was going to stop him from seeing this with his own eyes.
I run into this allot with players that play at a high level or any level for that matter. They just can't even imagine that they can't see .
That's why i offer to put a $100 bill in their pocket before the lesson. If Perfect Aim is not the best thing they have ever seen since they've been playing pool in the first 15 minutes they can stop the lesson and keep the $100 bill.
I've done this about 100 times in the last year and have still not lost the $100.
I even had about 5 of these players do it with the idea they were just going to make $100. After seeing what they saw they wanted to see the rest. And pay the full $200 for the lesson with the video.
I don't care who it is. I would do this with Efren or even Chris Bartram.
It works for everyone.
I would rather play Bartram on a normal pocket table though before I showed him.
One man a van and the road..........
