84 this eve

[sausage]

i was piddling and getting pissed then i decided to get serious but stay loose like reyes and stop second guessing my aim. it worked! i ran 84 with a good rhythm and no hail mary shots. gotta post this in the high runs thread.:grin-square: oh and i scratched on a behind the rack break on rack 7 because i took jim rempe's advice. he says on his video: if you go into the center of the rack from the back, "just hit-em, ball are going to scatter everywhere..." well i did just that and yes, balls did scatter but my cue bee-lined for the corner pocket. end of run..... i guess i could have hit it a tad below center.

thank folks. things are falling into place for me after a long dry spell. one thing that really helped is watching that vid of efren vs rempe. efren is incredibly relaxed. like they say in The Hustler, you have to play, "fast and loose", but with character. reyes has all these attributes which translates into wins..... so no more obsessing about the exact number of balls, i'm just counting the racks then when it ends adding up the balls.
