Are you left handed? Sometimes my right handed stroke gets a little weird when using right English. I'm unintentionally pulling the butt off my cue closer to my body. Being more conscious of my stance helps. I've definitely experienced that. For a lot of shots the deflection, swerve, and spin...

I believe that's called "chaotic good".

I love in a city known as the Big Tomato. Shooting tomatoes at things would be fun.

I'd be wondering if any life insurance policies were taken out.

The most casual Olympian ever.

I hope so, although he's quite scary at three cushion, too.

If the lights are lower, they can shine under the nose of the cushion. The perimeter lights may light up the top of the cushion directly below, but may shine under the noise of the cushion on the other side of the table. I don't mind the aesthetics of the shadow but with dark cloth it can be...

Earl seemed to close out the US Open pretty well. I think if he got in the finals, he won. Maybe Efren's calmer demeanor helped him hold up for the 5 day match, though. Going 7-24 will shake a person's nerves. I think there were times when his emotions got the better of him, but those intense...

So the job went well but the customer complained. I thought the refinish itself would be the disaster. Maybe, the light colored shaft is visually fatter. Not shooting as well? Maybe the different sight picture is throwing off her game. Even though I do shoot with CF, when I was using my spare...

Just some back of the envelope math, 64 matches total, but once they're are fewer than 16 players left, the tables will not be fully utilized. So seven rounds as fast as we can get them on the tables and four rounds after that, eleven rounds total. At 1:15 a round, that's 14 hours. If the...

I've seen a couple of videos of guys trying to prove the earth is flat, actually using legitimate methods. Then, when they find a curve, "there must be something wrong with the experiment! "

A lot of times I'll be at home warming up for a tournament, planning on leaving at 6:30. We'll, I'm shooting like poo-poo so I might as well stay at home and practice. Wouldn't you know it, at 6:45 it's like a switch has been flipped and the balls suddenly know what they are supposed to do. It's...

There's got to be some tournament format that doesn't end at 2 in the morning but is still good competition. If you could depend on people coming back next week, you could stop when you get to the top four and pay them equally, and then have the top four play next week on the side of the main...

Limited mental capacity and patience. I can't maintain the same level of focus for several hours as I can for 15 minutes. I don't usually struggle with focus on games and tournaments so I don't think a slightly more casual approach is hurting me. Although more focused practice could help in...

How is that different from the regular tournament pot? Jelly is definitely called for there.

I don't understand how it's easier to see the aim lines and pocket lines and add and remember the overlap than it is to see the ghost ball roughly opposite the pocket.

I couldn't help but think of that when I saw him with the torch.

Yeah, she's got a little one behind her!

So, in my previous post I made a comparison between short intense practice vs longer less focused sessions and wind sprints vs running a mile. Now I'm thinking about the benefits of high intensity interval training. I'm going to try to incorporate some brief sessions of more difficult drills...

I can shake off a loss but playing poorly is tough to live down. Especially at the higher levels, some matches you won't get the opportunity.
