Oh haha. I thought you were talking about assaulting me. Didn't realize you meant using a broomstick on the pool table.
You still have action whenever. :thumbup:
My girlfriend and I quit playing APA before our son was born in November 2015 and 6 weeks ago, we got back on the same team we last played on. We play on a Thursday night 8-man 9-ball team and I am rated an 8. I played the last half of the previous session and had a 50% win ratio. Last night was the beginning of the new session and I beat a 5 by a score of 65-15 (17-3 match score). I had a B&R and 2 or 3 10 point racks where I ran out after I broke dry and my opponent missed.
Before I quit playing last year, I was starting to get burnt out and dissatisfied with my game but since I started back after a long break, I am able to focus much better and I am feeling much more confident, making shots that I used to miss frequently or shy away from. My mental game is stronger and I do not get rattled anymore. I also think about every match I play and analyze what I did right and what I did wrong so that in the future, I can limit mistakes.

15-5 vs a 6 (i am a 5) in 10 total innings. 5th week in a row with huge lopsided wins. Pretty sure I'm a 6 now. Probably the right thing for me.
Playing napa 9 ball and a laggers choice league. 9 ball on monday, on the leading team, and I haven't lost a match yet this year. Wednesday night team is different, and I''m 1-3 currently.
Think I'm 8-3 total for the year, might be 9-3. At a 93 in napa 9 ball currently,

Solid. I prefer the lagger's choice to play different games but sometimes it is hard to figure out which race I actually want to play.
What did you start out as?
I started out as a 80 for 8, 9, and 10. The laggers choice team I just can't get mentally comfortable playing with for some reason. I don't play well on that night at all.
First year I've played napa, and usually don't play leagues. Wanted to get in a few more days of play, more for practice than anything.
Sounds like there may be a lack of team chemistry.
NAPA is by far my favorite league.
I am pretty sure it is the only league I will play in in the future. Most competitive from my point of view.
I got top female shooter for my division for last session (plaque just came in this week) and on top of that went up to a four this week as well. Safe to say I am progressing nicely
That is a big milestone. Congrats!
Haven't posted in this thread in a while, cuz basically I haven't been feeling it. Pool, in general, I suppose. I've won a few, lost more than that, and just don't feel good about my game. And that's all in my head. So at some point, hopefully I'll get my stuff together again.
Fortunately, my sense of responsibility to my teams, and my love of the great time we all have together keeps me engaged enough to keep playing. They look at me funny when I say "I'll play if you want, and if you don't need me to play, I'm good with that too." Of course, I'm the captain of one team, so I do have some control over that
Oh well. I do love the pool night part of things, at least.
Have a good holiday folks.

Played pretty well last night against a solid player. NAPA 10 ball race was 6-6. I won 6-2. Got out when I was supposed to for the most part.
7-1 on the season. A bit deceiving because I haven't been playing all that great. Mental game needs quite a bit of work.
I joined a BCA league again which uses ball spots. Play a total of 12 games a night. 3 games each against four opponents. After 2 weeks, my record is 18-6. Got moved from a AA to a AAA which is the highest ranking. I am not as good as the other AAAs so who knows how I will fare with the new ranking.

im doing good
Played ten ball in NAPA last night. 7-5 race. I won 7-1.
I played very well. I tried a new aiming system which gave me confidence in my shot making. Usually I play position really well so rarely need to depend on shot making much. Hopefully this and mental game coaching will take my game up a couple levels.
I want to be a grandmaster in each NAPA format. Currently 112 in 8 ball, 98 in 9 ball, and 102 in 10 ball.

I don't play APA or league anymore SL-9
I don't play APA or league anymore as SL-9. Too much corruption and the games people play to take advantage of their system. Chaos from rating system, captains, to league officials. :sorry:
