Furlough and stay-at-home lockdown are a mixed blessing. Been practicing more trying to make my aim and stroke more automatic and thoughtless. Not having much success.
Last week had some success with tweaking my stance to ensure I am more consistent lining up with my vision center. But it was a very uncomfortable stance.
Today, that didn't work for me. I fell right back into my old problem: vast majority of my misses are CB right. So I worked on it.
Here's the setup: dead straight shot. OB 3.5' from the corner pocket. CB 3' from the OB, so a fairly long shot.
Took 100 shots. Results:
54 made
34 missed CB right
12 missed CB left
Most made in a row 10
Most missed in a row 8
Most missed right in a row 5
Most missed left in a row 2
Of the 54 made, 10 of them were "iffy": OB almost clanged out, and all of these 10 were slight misses CB right, even though the OB was pocketed.
From these stats, it's obvious I have a fundamental problem.
Encouraging was that the 10 in a row made came near the end, as I was maybe figuring it out, shots 89-98 (missed shots 99 and 100, dammit).
So, with these stats, what should I be looking for as root cause for so consistently missing to the right? Assume I have found my vision center. I'll withhold my observations on my stroke and how I achieved the 10 in a row toward the end, so as not to taint the responses.
Any assistance is most appreciated!
Also, are there any coaches in the Central Florida area near Orlando strong in fixing mechanics? I took one lesson (geez, is it almost a year ago already?) but I didn't find that coach to be able to work on this problem with me. He gave me great drills and otherwise was a good coach, but none of the drills really helped with my root problem, my mechanics.
I want to know WHY I'm missing, so I can fix it. Drilling will just continue to confirm that I AM missing.
Thanks!!!
