Hey all,
Just wanted to throw out some of my pool goals for 2014. I think writing and sharing goals is a good way to get motivated and I hope you guys will share yours as well.

*Get a proper, solid pre-shot routine.

*Improve on my high runs (42 in 14.1, 5 racks in 9-ball, 3 racks in 10-ball).

*Reach the final 16 in a Japanese pro tour Grand Prix event.

*Enter the Japan Open and not dog my brains out like the last time.

*Turn my biggest weaknesses into strengths (10-ball break, jump shots).

*Finally do some traveling and visit pool buddies in various countries.

That's it, here's to a great year in 2014 and happy shooting to you all!
 
Altough(despite) we are more than a hand span away at the globe map,we have pretty much the same goals.I am adding my desire to compete only at A level tours which are seldom here..
 
Great thread, I was going to do the same thread next week.


For me in 2014:
4 rack run of 9 ball
Really really focus on fundamentals
Start playing straight pool, not sure how high of a goal to set for a high run.

And above all to stop listening to negative influences in this game. Some people just don't want to see others improve, and that's okay, they'll always be bad. Gotta stop letting them bother me.
 
Play more. As it is, I've only played a handful of times in the last 6 months and once in the last 3.
 
That's too bad Masayoshi, I hope you can get out more this year!
See you at the Japan Open maybe?
 
Hmm, good thread

For me the year ahead will include much more pool by the looks of it so,

100 run is straights
and
Beat the ghost in 9 ball

right now they seem a long way away

I got no goals, but you/ your family got a place to stay in dc...gotta clear it with my people, of course.
 
35 mph break, just for funzies...


5 pack would be cool.

Just play pool that i'm proud of. Don't care how I place in any tournaments, I just want to be happy with my performance.
 
Good thread

1. Continue my work on stroke and fundamentals.
2. Get instruction if I have the time/money
3. Play more straight pool and beat my high run
4. Improve consistency
5. Run a least a 3 pack of 8 ball and 9 ball.
 
Work on my sportsmanship and focus. Wife says when I am mad at myself it can also flow to my opponent. Just want to be nice win or lose. So my goal is to learn to lose with a smile. It will make my wife happy as well. When I am playing league I need to focus more since it is a team sport. I do drink (wife drives) and like to have fun. Others take league more serious than I do.

Nah, I'm probably gonna have to put playing serious enough for the JO on the back burner until my wife starts letting me out more. lol. For now I just want to play once a week or so.
 
2014

Get back my stroke

Improve my position play

Start winning back some of the money I have lost in the the last 25 years
 
Say good riddance to 2013 and 12 months of pain, worst year of my life.
Finally able to hit some balls again so my goal is a maximum on tape.
