10 RESOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE YOUR POOL GAME

Specific to my particular stage of development:

1. I will set my expectations more aligned with reality. While I do expect to improve, and at the start of every inning at the table I do expect to run out, at my skill level I will accept that it is exceedingly rare that I will actually run out. I will be satisfied with incremental but small improvements, and accept some regression at times.

2. I will return often to stroke-enforcing drills, ensuring my fundamentals remain as solid as possible even as I start experimenting with advanced topics such as compensating for deflection when using side spin (can’t know for certain whether a miss is a result of not accounting for deflection/squirt/swerve if I can’t guarantee my stroke, alignment and aim are solid).

3. I will continue to make my approach, PSR, and shot execution more natural, less forced and less mechanical.

I can relate to this. it's tantalizing to think that after a great run out, every rack should be similar- if only ^_^
anyway, it's a nice goal- try it on and see how it goes- good luck, and keep us posted on your progress!
 
1. Spend more time on real drills instead of just using 14.1 as a training game.
2. start doing drills focused on safety play, rails knowledge and precise position play. (until now, I've been doing mostly shotmaking stuff)
