I was playing this guy the other night. He's an average B player, i.e., he can run 4 or 5 balls if they're open and occasionally runs a rack of 9 ball. I guess I'd rate myself a medium to low A player, I can win a match in a race to 5 in 5 innings, sometimes less sometimes more.
Anyway, I'm playing this guy and he's getting rolls, I mean he's really getting rolls!! I figured at first it was no big deal but we played for about 2 hours and he continued to get these rolls for the entire 2 hours! All I could do was laugh! I mean it was unbelievable! I didn't lose my cool although inside I was a basket case! We all get rolls from time to time, but usually, after a while, they subside. I didn't think the balls could continue to roll that way for that long! I kept trying to put a positive spin on it like, this is good for me to practice my kicks but it was getting more and more difficult.
Does anyone have some good advice on how to keep your composure when this happens?
