    Stupidity

    I call it a fitness program. 🤷‍♂️ Without expectations but perhaps hopes. I save the prayers for the serious shit. I gotta keep my body fit......just in case I need to throw one.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    Okay the story 😉 I think it was Snoqualmie 9 ball with top competition. I will not name the offender. I will just use the initials, J D. Ooops that's what he went by. Shrug. So anyways the event allowed the new fangled magic racks of a plastic sheet template with precision holes for a perfect...

    Well that's a little long windedfor my attention span. 😉 My recollection of BCAPL rules was anything deemed unsportsmanlike fell to the judgment of the referee. The referee could award game or set or even expulsion from event. Some even got never again in a BCAPL event. Perhaps my memory is...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    Read the rules: Just had a rules reading moment in league play under BCAPL rules. A fouled break was committed against my team mate. The offending young man just grabbed the balls and proceeded to re rack. My notice to team mate of improper allowing him to do that. He was, uh "oh well". So when...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    One of the most impressive jump shot artists that I encountered could jump a full ball with the over size cue ball.. That's full ball at 16 inches with the oversized cue ball with Her shooter. And oh yeah the C tournament that paid 700 for first place had me playing her in the finals. 🤷‍♂️ Go...

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    As a drill, 3 ball break 'em and kick them in was the one that honed my precision strike to the white. The object ball on one spot and cueball on another was a drill I employed and enjoyed in my earliest training and it's a favorite as well. Precision strike comes easier for me when I focus on...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    Gotta wonder re Ronnie's coaching in the current semi finals with Zhao vs Xiao. 🤔 As a lesson the one month subscription equals half a lesson charged. 🤷‍♂️ The clear high definition camera work along with astute comments from the eye in the sky of the former Champs. Oh "Champ" was the nick...

    Mike Massey was undoubtedly the GOAT when it came to jump shots. His exhibition included shrink ah flex which is the material the balls are made of. The gaps are demonstrated er shown to be too tight to pass through. Then the stripe is pocketed because the harder you hit 'em the more they...

    Practice what I Preach

    The exergeni type exercise is 3 ball. The break is The most critical shot in any game. Cole coaching was huge. So the perfect 3 ball break has whitey pop 7 inches straight back. A quick 10 minutes practice with table laps. Gather them up and do it again. The path of the break pad with draw...

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    Ronnie's participating in pool had the appearance of A Lark. Not much money in pool compared to snooker. His demonstrated jump skills are one aspect of the difference in the games. Given the proper motivation he could adapt.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    FOUL! In snooker an intentional jump is not allowed. It's up to the referee to determine if it was intentional. Accidentally leaving the bed is not called foul.

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    Study, Practice and Competition are my 3 basic ingredients. A good coach helped me take my game beyond what I could achieve on my own. I had reached a plateau and would have been ranked as a killer B. My good fortune of finding good coaching allowed me to attain a Master ratting. Of course a...

    Why did I miss the ball? Did my aim fail, or was it my mechanics?

    "Why did I miss?" Is dealt with immediately upon sitting in my chair. The best answer would be, "it's a safety not a miss." 🤷‍♂️ The most difficult to get over is, "uh I don't know." The important thing for me is to analyze, categorize and then put it behind, clear the mind of baggage and...
