Well, it's bee about a month since I incorporated 14.1 in my practice routine (which is anything but routine - an hour here, two there, none for one or two days, etc.). I played some 9 ball with a couple of chums that I used to play even with two years or so ago. We played a "king of the hill" format and I beat them 5 - 0 - 0 and then another set 5 - 1 -1. 8 Ball went in a similar fashion.
I think that 14.1 is really helping my mental approach to all games. I now look at a 9 ball rack and just feel really comfortable with most table layouts. I mean really, there's ONLY 9 balls on the table! After playing 14.1 for a even a little while, that seems like nothing. Also, I seem to be playing better 8 Ball as well, which is odd, because I almost never play the game since I quit regular league play over two years ago. It must be that I am seeing more efficient and better ways to break out clusters and playing patters as well.
Also, I just ran 100 balls in straight pool. Oh wait, no I didn't. I was just fantasizing while staring out the window during my afternoon coffee break on this cold, wintery day at the office...
