While I have not thought of the fast and shallow, probably because it just happens. I do force the slow and deep by puffing out the cheeks while pursing the lips to restrict the exhale.

No! Coaching is not allowed. Besides I can't be sure what his or her plan is, so outside interference even if well intended is unsportsmanlike

One more Old Fart story. 😉 When I first started playing pool circa 1978, I couldn't win for the $1 antee at the tavern. Then I met and was courting a Gal. We were in the earliest stages of our courtship so I wanted to impress. It was at the H bar B in uh cowboy country and I had long hair and...

Wow that brings a flashback to me. I was working at graduation from the B classification and played lots of cheap 9 ball. One guy had a way of getting in my head and taking my allowance even though my skill set was better than his. Well on the table skills. 🤷‍♂️ It took a while and I got used...

Nervous vs Fearful would be my distinct ion. The nerves will always be there. A long time ago I got to sweat Dan Louie vs Earl Strickland in Reno. Being from the North Wet I positioned myself right behind Dan. It was a real battle and Earl prevailed after Dan missed an easy shot. As he was...

The Power of Positive Thinking Self Hypnosis Understanding the Subconscious and Karma 🤷‍♂️ The Big Eye is imagine the shot. Starting with survey, of course a construction method. 🤷‍♂️ Is done with the overhead view and even lap around the table. Once the plan is drawn the dance begins.

Good morning Saudi Arabia. The Snooker coverage is providing occasional high definition looks at the eye patterns of the competitors. wst.tv is top notch coverage. Ronnie and Kyren do battle shortly. Gotta get my chores done early. 😉

Should be worth the price of admission. 😉 shrug. A good production so far.

Uh oh , must be Ronnie o'sullivan match time. 🤔 Yep it's up now.

The Anaconda vs The Thunder (from down under). A class ick battle.. Watching without comments is educational. Observe a lot. 🤷‍♂️ I am watching it on wst.tv. should be available in the archives.

Wow, break at 4-4 trotting to the potty.

Wednesday Aug 13 2025 Shop's log Selby vs Robertson 4-3 going to 6. Should be edumacational.

My table adjustment time was 45 minutes er uh to an hour. Provides the best stall er uh

Uh oh! Another flashback story: This one should remain the same in the retelling. 😉 We were playing Mixed Scotch Doubles 9 ball vs Lavern and Joe. It was a race to 4 and I had a $20 sweat bet with Joe. (They were favored to win the event. We hoped to win A match.) We won the flip and as my wife...

The practice table beef reminds me of Brady Golan remark at Sunday morning breakfast. It was on the lines of, " let me play 3 matches back to back on that table and see how He likes it." It was regarding the upcoming finals match. Brady still put a couple of 7s together to win the Spokane open...

Okay found the off topic .

There's a time and a place. I prefer the....uh , "I have been here before ". Attitudes. Yes it's a great accomplishment but my worthy opponent made it a Big accomplishment. My first move after the final ball drops is to extend my hand to my opponent. (Well provided he's not an Ass Hat. 🤷‍♂️)...

Well I do practice my curve ball on the pool table. The speed/spin application needs calibration on different equipment. The curve along with the response after striking a rail can be perfected. A practice drill promoted by Grady Mathews was a one rail scratch. Going up and down the opposite...

Forged in Fire comes to mind. Sparring with cheap games can strengthen both players. I have seen , well there was a time I sparred with an equal player once a week. After a few months he showed his improvement by cashing in the next Reno pro 9 ball event. 🤷‍♂️ I was slightly ahead in our...

My favorite thought is, "just kick it in and run out." That brings a favorite memory.... It was after work at the tavern with my workmates. I had bragged and was showing my skill. While playing our superintendent for the next round of drinks, I broke and ran to the 8 ball and accidentally...
