great answer Woody.
100% correct. The other part is the whole shot routine. Many great players just don't seem to get there for the cash or the final match. Just like aiming a gun you need to know where the sights are and how to line them up.
There really is a perfect place to have your eyes on every shot. The natural sight is there. Knowing where this is on every shot can cure alot of misses. Especially when it comes to the shot for all the bananas.
Usually the pplayer doesn't choke on the shot, they choke on the aim. The eyes are simply not in the most correct position.
A couple good suggestions already. Playing shape with the cueball off your last ball can really help, as that is how you play all the other shots (I hope ). Putting yourself in that position as much as possible also helps. You have to learn to love that nervous feeling you get when competeing.
But the best answer I think I could give you is having a solid pre-shot routine. If you get to where you instinctively do the same thing on every shot then your last shot will be just like your first.
