A Tip on Alignment I've Found

[LastTwo]

I was having problems "seeing" the shots well, so I checked my mechanics, my stance, alignment, grip, etc. I found that my head was slightly tilted and turned sideways when I am down on the shot. I fixed this, and now my game has improved a bit. Basically what I'm saying is this: When your head is tilted or sideways, you are looking at the shot with your eyeballs in the corners of your eyes. Try focusing on something out of the corner of your eye, it's very hard to focus. When you do this in pool, it's very hard to be accurate. Try to make sure that your eyeballs are in the center of your eyes while you are down on the shot, and make sure that the cue is pointed directly STRAIGHT along your line of vision. If you are having a problem making thin cut shots, this might correct your problem. Once your'e down on the shot, everything may look like it's in line, but if it's not, you really can't tell. Even if your stroke is insanely crooked, once you are down in your stance, it's very hard to tell, unless you close one eye and watch your stroke.

Just some tips I have found for people who are in a slump.

When you get into a slump, put your cue under the bed and stop playing, for at least a full week, when you have this burning desire to play, come back, usually the problem irons its self out unless you have a serious basic problem you let degrade, then seek help, two sets of eyes are better than one.

Thanks Zim, I love the line in the recent movie, Bobby Jones, the scot is teaching a club hacker to play golf, he says I am in a bit of a slump, what should I do. The scott said, take off two weeks, sell your clubs and take up bowling.
Fast Larry.
