Seems as if i am sitting exactly over the cue as normal but have started missing more than normal.
Now the negative thoughts are creeping in...
Now what i have to ask the question... What would Efren do??

Efren would focus on keeping his eye on his object ball and not moving until contact is made with it by the cue ball, this is a simple thing that for some reason comes back to haunt many many people.:smile:
 
Sometimes I just see the edge of the ball better or something I don't know for sure what happens at times. I have good cueball control and have been thinking about taking the aiming lessons from Stan Shuflett (sp) for a while now, I know it can't hurt and the price is right. If Stevie Moore and other already great players can help there game by visiting Stan he has to be awesome.--Leonard
 
Good advice from Neil. Normally you want a still head but every so often it helps to move it slightly to get a better view of the shot, and see if you're lined up correctly to drill it in. [Cue perfect aim plug]. Once you settle down you can go back to keeping a still head.

If anything feels wrong at all, or slightly uncomfortable, shuffle your feet. You don't even need to move them really, just lift 'em and replant them until you're sure you're 100% comfortable and lined up in the direction you want. You may not feel like you changed anything but it can help.

Lastly, before a game, ask your opponent if they mind waiting a sec and drill in a few real fast. Set up some sort of ugly cuts and drive them in with 0 thought and just 1 practice stroke. Make a few to get your confidence back.
 
Thanks for all the advice. I will definitely get the book about small movements... Sounds interesting.
Thanks again...=)

If your education is no better than mine, you should keep a dictionary nearby. There's some $2.00 words in that book!!!

Nope. You're the only one, my man. The rest of the pool world has no idea what you're talking about.
 
Video yourself, shows up all kinds of stuff :) oh by the way I have never missed so I don't know what I am talking about.
