It seems I play my best for the first hour and then I lose it and can't hold the focus that I once had. How do the pros do it?

How do you deal with a losing streak? I've been practicing good and I just dogg balls in my match? Maybe I need more practice time. I only get to practice on weekends until I get my basement finished and pool table moved in.

I would also like to know if you never played in one. What would you rank me?

Thanks for the input. I might experiment with it this weekend.

Yeah, since my dad told me so......and he was rated a 9 when he was playing apa........so I listen.....he's been playing a lot more years than I have.

I was always told never grip the butt of the cue

I've been going back to the basic fundamentals again, and I've always had the 4 finger grip with the pinkie not touching the cue stick and right in the center of the linen of my cue....always has been comfortable and that is what I was taught. I see many good players use all 5 fingers and...

Anybody heard from John Stacy? My dad used to play and travel with him years ago. Just curious...

Is red no good?

Who wants to watch this? They are probably splitting the money anyway. I bet the same deal happened with svb/strickland. What's that saying....never trust a pool player.

I picked convenience. I work and have a job. I don't have time to play in 3 different leagues. I play on Sundays (my relaxing day) with the apa on 7 ft diamond tables with 860. I don't have the luxury of playing through the week. So I take what I can get. I'm a 5 and I also try to play in weekly...

Does your tip travel all the way up to your bridge? I've been practicing doing this on my stroke.....and it gives me the follow through I need.

Pretty Good!

You can't handicap pool. That's saying you can read someone's mind. I believe Mike Massey said that years ago.

Working on finishing the basement. I want a pool table down there, but I have to work around a few poles. Any suggestions? I cut up some 2X4's and just measured for a 7 footer to diagram with so I would see what I'm working with. How much feet from the table to the wall? Any suggestions would be...

Why do people twist their wrist on their stroke? I've always thought this was a bad thing. Am I right?

Just need to chill out a bit and relax. Order a beer to calm your nerves....but don't order 6 :)

I like APA, because I get to compete and play better players rather than practice by myself. Practicing is only half of it....competition is the other half. Plus my league is on Sundays, which is perfect for me. BCA is not. I don't have time for 3 teams. I have a job to go to

I had this problem last Sunday at league. I blinked my eye and this woman had me down 20-3. Although I was practicing pretty good that day....she applied the pressure and I couldn't respond with any. Doubting my shots and such. This game is 90% mental.

I've just ran 2 racks since I've gotten back into pool a couple of years ago. It seems once I get rolling.....I screw it up. Either I second guess myself on what I originally planned to do and try something else or I just dogg the ball completely and get to worried about shape.
