One time I went through months of slump, I can't remember winning more than one match. I remember losing without winning a single game. Then it all suddenly changed and, before I knew it, I was playing better than ever. I took on players who used to make me look like a dumb cripple during my slump and defeated them regularly. Maybe it had something to do with my full body techniques I discovered then, but I feel that most of it was due to my subconcious mind and my confidence which greatly improved back then, especially after that discovery. My advice would be to have patience, or maybe try experimenting with new techniques. Do something to surprise your own brain. I wish you luck![]()
It has nothing to do with your subconscious because you cannot control it. Once you unlock the secret to pocketing balls consistently, you will never go to slump due to missing balls. Pool at high level is not about pocketing balls, it is about position play, brain power is needed to play most efficient pattern such that each shot lines up with minimal cut angle so missing balls is not even on the mind, it is called pool experience, then if you slump it would be due to bad luck and bad roles, which unfortunately help your opponent 99% of the time.
