Improve my focus.

I would have Earl Strickland, Shannon Daulton, Nick Varner or Fong Pang Chao move in next door! And I would invite them to come on over and practice with me any time they want. We could hang out and watch my Accu-Stats collection. They could peek at my pool lists and we could...wait a minute....."What?"
"Ok honey, I'm logging out now!"
Gotta go! :smile:

Not Really
Thanks, but it could be better.
Most of the tournaments I play in are in Asia. The Asian players usually have much better fundamentals than we do.
A couple of months ago at a tournament in Bangkok one of the top players asked me if he could ask a personal question. I said "no problem", so he asked if I knew how bad my stroke was. He then showed me his cell phone, and a video he took of me when I wasn't looking.
The video was pretty disturbing. I dropped my elbow, twisted my wrist, and steered the cue. But I made the shot and got shape.
I have no doubt that I could improve by game by working on my stroke, but I don't have time.
I did finish 2nd in the last Pechaur 9-Ball Tour event this weekend, so I'm not playing bad enough to have the motivation to work on it.

I would quit. That way I will never miss another shot of lose another game. The problem is I wouldn't enjoy it as much and I would then have to start doing something else that is totally useless and has no bearing on the price of tea in China. :boring:
pocketing balls on a 9fter
which basically means i need a straighter stroke.

I would practice more and buy some pool shoes.
Like that word FOCUS, it say a lot. Ability to plan, focus, and execute.
Unfortunately there are too many things that I could change to make me a better player!! I will have to go with consistency though. That's one of the main principles in the game that keeps good amateurs at that level, and not quite at the pro level!!
Another one I have noticed lately is LAZYNESS. Taking that simple shot for granted. You know you can easily make it and get position, but then you get lazy and just assume that it's going to happen. That's when you find yourself out of position and trying to scramble back into it.
