    It's hard to be deliberate (slow) when you have the whole solution. Like little Johnny jumping with hand raised. Savor the precision of the strike to the white. Dan Louie put on so many incredible performances. Some said he was slow. I say he was precise. 🤷‍♂️ He took on the Best.

    Talking about practice

    One of my uh period practices was 3 ball break 'em, kick 'em in. A couple of weeks to prepare for the Big Show. I had just quit my day job and it was the cheapest table time on the coin op. 🤷‍♂️ With 2 weeks prep I got $325 for second. So the day job search began. 🤷‍♂️

    Tips For This Shot

    Yogi said, "you can observe a lot by watching." I watched Mike Massey hit the most extreme power shot in competition. (Well that I have seen)The last Caesars Tahoe 9 ball in '84 I think. 🤷‍♂️ I watch the white as it leaves the tip. Well for clues or perhaps feedback is more accurate. 🤷‍♂️

    How Common Is This?

    I recall a statement regarding "Savoring" the shot. Savoring the perfection or seeking then Savoring the perfection in each shot. Of course the possibility of blood does heighten my senses and gets my best game. 🤷‍♂️ I prefer the field of friendly strife.

    How Common Is This?

    My PSR is by the numbers but that's only in practice. In competition it's gotta be a habit. So when I miss I anal eyes to look for the breakdown in the process. Usually it's obvious, you know like I poked it instead of stroked it. If I can't figure it out while seated I just chalk it to old...

    Tips For This Shot

    Seems like a good time to get used to observing the strike to whitey. The precision of the strike through to the cloth is the focus. Watch and learn what went wrong and maybe why. Practice Practice precision practice.
