GC1 Table Restoration Complete

The table does seem to play very well. The ball rolls super fast, draw shots get crazy action, the cushion response is exceptional and the pockets dont seem to be too tight. Im just playing very poorly.

I think im suffering from whats called in sports psychology as “reinvestment theory”. Its been so long since I played that when I approach a shot my mind is trying to focus on too many things at once. My bridge, the pressure of the bridge the distance from my stance and legs to the table, my upper arm being locked and keeping a pendulum with my forearm, the grip on the butt of the cue being loose, staying down on the ball all of these things I’m thinking about at the same time and it results in me not being able to shoot at all. I’ll get my game back just may take a little longer than expected.

Ultimately, when I’m playing this bad, I can’t really tell if the table is performing well or not.

Just try to relax and let that old muscle memory find its way home. Get out of your head. All that's going to do is hinder the process.
 
interesting little piece of information. When I was getting ready to take the pocket castings and the feet to the powder coater, I noticed on the underside of one of the corner pocket castings it was engraved with a date of 11-22-63. That’s the exact same day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I don’t know what that date refers to, if it’s when the pockets were created or when the mold itself was made I’m not sure, but it was interesting.
