as most of you know, i just recently took a lesson from Mark Wilson and i've been working on adapting to his ideas. and yes, i posted the other day that i was going to "compromise" between mark's instruction and other instruction that i have received. lately i have noticed that i tend to lean towards what mark wanted me to do, and seem to be more aligned with his mechanics than what i indicated the other day. in other words, i am trying the Wilson technique. or at least i think i am.
anyway, tonight was a horrible, horrible night at the table for me. the rolls were horrible, my play was horrible, and i bet Helen Keller could have beat me like a drum tonight. i broke rack after rack after rack after rack, and only managed to run out once. however, most of the time the balls just didnt roll good for me, i probably only had a handful of really good opportunities where i felt i really screwed up.
i am sort of at that stage where i just dont know what to do. something tells me i should just give up, and not try and get any better, and just hit em around like a weekend player/beer drinker. but then again, there's an old saying that goes "Winners Never Quit."
no, i didnt break anything tonight, but i did fire the '1' ball off the table, and lost it behind the insulation, but i did eventually find it. plus i took a sideways jab at a ball with my Predator Shaft, and fortunately i let up just enough where it didnt hurt it.
some might say its the new Wilson Technique that is causing this frustration. i dont think that is the answer, this happens to me time and again, over and over, just seems like its never-ending. the other day things were clicking and i ran a dozen racks, and tonight it was like i had never played before. unfortunately, nights like tonight are the norm, and occur 95% of the time or more.
dunno what else to do.
perhaps the only thing left to do is try the hypnosis thing.
sorry for ranting and complaining again.
