Had Enough?

Here goes. Aside from a speed bump
between my brain and cue. I’m not getting low enough .., need to get my chin close to the cue which is physically tough. And mainly hold the back stroke. Pause pause pause.
Had a good practice session last night.
 
For a long stretch I cannot get going. Concentration/performance. So bad not playing would be less frustrating. Last few rounds have been frustrating and humiliating at best. I feel like throwing the towel but that’s not an answer or solution.
I might take up board games😂 Group hug needed
I threw the towel far as I could. GG

I play backgammon now-window is open🤩

Between you and me I tossed an extra large bath towel as far as I could throw it months ago. If wacking my cues against the table would help I'm all for it. The next time I play like I did last week I'm asking AARP to revoke my senior citizen clubhouse bangers membership card.
Backgammon? Does it have pockets?
 
Played bumper pool last summer and loved it. If I had a few locals to play with I’d stay with that.
We have a local guy who was really good at bumper pool. If you play the way of each person hitting their shot 1, 2, 3, shoot at the same time, you better make your ball, because he is making his and then the next 4 or 5 too.

Backgammon is cool, but it’s frustrating because like poker you can out play someone and lose. It’s a great gambling game, social, lots of good things but playing good isn’t always rewarded.

It’s like 1P looks, simple enough, but it’s very deep. Learning to move the checker and when to give tor cube or take/pass of someone hand you the cube is critical.

Pool is just not working for me. I can’t play a game I’m getting worse at 😕, time is brutal.

Bet higher.....will make you focus

Play only once in awhile...and ask for weight. Blow their doors off and say you got lucky.

Rinse and repeat.

I enjoy the game after the spotted goes down. I was getting into trapping and table moves.

I had a Great Ameican slate top bumper pool we put Simonis on. After a couple months, the guys who messed with it were running 5 balls and out.

SVB and Billy figured it out pretty quick.

I quit my league team 2 weeks ago. They probably hate me. Depression. Taking the summer off. It seems like I get down a hole sometimes. The last time I stepped away for 15 years. I no longer have time for that. Life is too short. Gonna try to pick up the pieces. Or find a new hobby. Good luck. You are not alone.
 
when you find you cant play hit short shots center ball, straight in until they all go exactly where you want in the pocket.
at least 20 of them. then move cue ball back 6 inches and do it again. keep going back until you get to the rail. then you are in stroke.

playing badly means only one thing. your tip is not going where you think it is.
 
When I get in a slump I go back and do Kinisters 60 minute workout a couple of times. Hit each shot until you have at least a few perfect ones. Seems to help my hand/eye coordination reconnect for a while, plus makes you feel like you have an edge knowing your opponent probably hasn’t been practicing as much as you
