    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    naw man if anything you kept me wanting to come back to it. i just need to take a break because i think im developing more bad habits than good ones through my own frustration. i played the 6 ball ghost for 20 mins today and didnt get out once so i think i just need to work on my...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    this was the next day. i gotta take a break for a while. i just end up frustrated and devolving into bad practice. time to switch things up and come back to it when i have the goddamn mental discipline that i am apparently lacking to do something other than get worse. maybe i’ll play the...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    i had a half hour to play today, so i squozed in some of this. i missed many easy balls. but it was a fun change of pace.

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    thanks man. i think i’m realizing that i dont get to just snap my fingers and be a straight pool player. i can practice all the different theories and order of operations and end patterns and make the damn balls, but not all at once. if i could, i would have by now. the end patterns do seem...

    Unsportsmanlike Conduct Rule

    depends on what god you believe in, i suppose. wpa has always always been my baseline but most of the players i encounter in the wild respond with “you mean bca?”

    How Many of You...

    for me, it was sitting on the rail and the back of my cue knocked it in. it was a leather chalker i made 10+ years ago with a piece of pagulayan in. the chalker has very strong magnets in it and i was worried it might get stuck to something inside the table. i failed to retrieve it and...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    I sent this still in particular because when i watched it back i wondered why i didnt take the 3 first. seemed more important to get rid of the 1, and i didnt think of the 3 as “useless” until i watched it back. i guess thats something if i’m on the right track. i took a week off before this...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    i know!!! it’s a real bummer. you might have missed the part where i talk about trying to slow down. I go back and forth. My last practice sesh i was averaging 30 seconds a shot. i stare and i stare and i measure angles and tangent lines and set my cue on the rail and all that shit and...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    this might have been an even worse idea, but i believe my intention on the 9 was not to roll forward so far and break the stack with the 8 using the balls uptable (and maybe the 1) for insurance. but, as so many of my racks often go, i find myself scrambling to find a new pattern. I’m going...

    dear diary: a 14.1 journey to nowhere

    thanks, thats motivating to hear. here’s a condensed version of yesterdays heartaches. roll off got me on the 11 at the end. gotta remember to keep the cue ball just above that speed.
