    Playing under pressure....

    So this may not be what you expected. But, I play better under pressure. I have subconsciously known it for a long time. My question is this-I tend to play down to lower level players and have trouble in the beginning of a tournament(don't see the money coming yet), so how do I create this...

    Recovering from a tough match

    I beat a player of the caliber I have never beaten before. Got up early and he came back to hill hill, when I finally won. But, my question is this-they called my next match as soon as I was finished and I was physically and mentally tired from that last match. So do you have any things...

    Those of you that use backhand english..

    Are there certain shots that you find the bhe system needs adjustments. If so what are the adjustments you seem to make? Seems to me on backcuts you need to make a minor adjustment. I overcut all the time if I just find the hit spot and apply bhe. I was experimenting the other day and...

    To keep warm or to save your energy?

    I was in a tourny a few days ago and got fairly far. I had about a hour or 2 wait. So the question is do you keep shooting or do you stop shooting and save your energy? I know it is mostly personal preference..But, any personal experiences that made you go one way or the other?

    Why I am beginning to hate gambling

    Not that I hate gambling so much as I don't like that no one will actually gamble. I had been playing this guy in town for a while he had probably beat me about the last 5 times we played giving me the 7. I finally got him once(he dogged a bunch of shots the first set and I ended up winning...

    Draw stroke

    Has any one else improved their draw stroke by SHORTENING up the back hand grip. I had suddenly lost my stroke after stopping playing for a while and found after shortening up not only was my stroke much more consistent and powerful but I was playing out of my mind.

    venting

    So I was gambling with this guy and he kept on chasing the nine ball and they would go in a lot of the time. It started to get real annoying. So I asked if he wanted to play call your pocket on the nine. He says yes. But, then he just calls the nine on every shot in the nearest pocket even if he...

    Anyone else shorten their bridge on the break?

    I found shortening up my bridge to about 2-3 inches. I did that last night and my break power AND control went through the roof. Just wondering if any of you did that as well.

    BIlliards is like weight training...warning: rant coming

    Sometimes rest is the best thing for your improvement. So I used to play everyday. I was a very good player, but got in a little bit of a slump. I recently got a job and even though I do have time to play I have been to tired too get out there too often. Last night after work I decided I...

    The simple things

    I found a very simple tip for improving(at least in my case) consistency. I found that just grabbing a glass of water for a match has done me wonders. While the other player is playing I can just take a few sips of water to help keep my cool. It also takes my mind away from what the other...

    No throwing a ball in...

    You know the saying. Spin it to win it etc. I took a lesson a couple days ago and the guy said that you can not spin a ball in. If you hit the contact point then the ob goes in no matter what spin you put on it. Thoughts?

    The next level

    I think I may have taken a step to the next level tonight. I will have to see how I play the next couple tournies. But, considering I was getting out on most of the tables that were given to me with an open shot I think I might have taken that step. The biggest difference I found(realized...

    I got my arse kicked...

    So I went to a tournament this past tues(first time I had been to this one). As soon as I see my name on the board against g. jamito I know I am likely out in the first round. He did spot me 4 games and I should have won at least 1 if not 2. But, it was a good experience none the less. JUst...
