We had 8 ball ltc's this weekend .. Not much to say about it except the whole team sucked...including moi and we went 2 and out. Like I say at this time every year...always next year.
Last night at double jeapordy league the whole team played better....gess we put too much pressure on ourselves at ltc
I faced another 6 in 9 ball who I had never played before. I actually shot better than he did....well he missed shots that surprised me for him being a 6. He had a killer break though and that made up for his shooting and he won the match.
Then I played probably the best ...or one od the top 3 players in town in 8 ball. I lost 5-1 in a 5-3 race. 2 racks I lost were my own doing....poor cue ball position navigating all the congestion. Hate it when you get to the last one or two balls and wind up 2 inches short of where you need to be. On the bright side he complimented me on some great shots I made .
On to next week . Oh yea...should have my meucci carbon pro by the end of the week. I shot a couple racks after league with a friends carbon meucci last night and think I am gonna like it more than the revo. About the same deflection but a softer hit which helps me with my cue ball control....a lot closer hit to a wood shaft than the revo.
Understood on the "always next year".
We had on day 2 of States we won our first match, I beat a 6 75-21 and the rest of my team played well. Then we lost our second match of the day and it was our second loss so we were out. I shot last and after four matches the score was 45-35 (we were losing) and I had to keep a 6 to under 28 balls. And it's sudden death so everything is worth double - meaning he only needs to make about 12-14 balls.
There was a little back and forth but he took the lead at 14-6 then more back and forth and it's 50+ to 27, he needs one ball. I break, make a ball but no shot so play a safe. He kicks it and the CB ends up in jail. The only thing I had was some a ridiculous 3 rail, super hard and lots of english to shorten it up. Missed OB and scratched. I didn't even make him shoot the last ball.
Always nest year
