Smooth......
Key words are important if you need to get yourself back on track with your focus and using them can be a good idea. They can be anything that you relate to. For me, the word "smooth" comes to mind. Another pool player years ago, who had bought me in the Calcutta, would walk by me during the tournament and only whisper, "Smooth". He must have done it several times. I guess it worked because I won the tournament coming out of the one loss side.
Make up your own, one that YOU relate to.

"Be a Lion" Say it with conviction and just short of anger. I use it when the pressure is affecting me. Helps ward off the flight reaction.
When I'm winning or running a rack, I tend to start to lose concentration and speed up so I think "Smooooth Rhythm". Say "smooth" like Barry White. It's relaxing and soothing.

I'm going to start singing "Smooth Operator" by Sade in my head.
I think the best thing you can do is to stop talking.
Hum something (Hmmmmm) and have in your mind the idea that the ability to concentrate and see your contact point is the most important thing that you can do.
These types of things help you to turn the whole thing over to the sub-conscious. He plays much better than you do anyway.
