Ok, I started playing again after taking the summer off, and basically havent played any since the end of April.
Well It's been about three weeks of playing about 3 times a week a few hours at a time. Mixing it up, between 8ball,9ball and 10ball on a 7ft table. Now I've been mainly playing with my friend who is a solid B / BB player. And we generally go back n forth, depending on the game. But in the long run, I tend to come out the loser. We dont gamble, just shoot, but both still play our game.
Today, I headed back to the old pool hall I usta frequent, and played a bit, and got SPANKED!!!!! Played one kid, whom I've beated before, and I just got whipped by him, 5-1, then he had to finish up the tourny that was going on. Second guy, was giving me the wild 8, and last two, and i got beat, 6-4 and 6-5. Last guy, who was a newbie, beat me 9-5 lol.
I mean, even the owner, was like WTF, I said IDK, i could see the lines and stuff, just couldnt make the shots. I didnt have one single run over 6 balls, and had a hard enough time, even running out half that.
Yet, when I play 8ball, its a totally different story, or even 10ball.
now maybe I just need to start playing the GHost from now on or something but damn, i felt like I shouldnt even be playing after tonight.
