    Playing Consistently

    Is this play in tournaments, action or just leisurely? As Sam had eluded to earlier, the mental part of the game can be one of the toughest things to get a handle on. There are times when I am playing great and then play in a tournament where someone is really firing back at me and just...

    Knowing I'm going to miss a shot as I pull the Trigger, What does it mean !!!

    Just put yourself on camera for some self evaluation. Use any smartphone and some free "slow motion" apps so you can breakdown what may or may not be happening. Have someone help you to do different angles etc. When I did this I realized that I was not stepping into the line. Once I started...

    Rocket for Mosconi?

    Rocket would not be a bad choice at all. Along with Corey, you would have two former Mosconi Cup MVP's on the team. He also seems to play well with SVB in doubles. We seem to always want to go with the hot hand but Mosconi cup play presents a different type of pressure where experience does...
