Here is the way i found to shoot my best,
often my mind strays,or gets clouded with doubt or fear of missing
Don't run !this has no pop pstchology positive talk nonsense
Here is what I find really helps me
1 I get a good look at where the object ball must go to get in the holefrom
a few seteps back
2 I make up my mind exactly where I want the cue ball to hit the object ball
3 I approach the shot with all of that decided, before i bend over bend over to shoot
4 here is the thing that I find really helps,i imagine that the object ball only needs to get started
in the right direction,so I watch the shot to see if I missed it or got it started right,I try to see the
very start of the object ball going right. I am happy to make 3 inch shots even if they must roll
another 6feet to the pocket. in my mind I am happy and have the confidence of shooting 3 inch shots
So in my mind each shot is good if I do the one thing
If I feel funny over the ball,I get up and back off and start over. For big money I get up,but for fun I get sloppy.
Never try to twist your body to get in line,it seldom works for me
One thing becomes automatic,I stay down stroking with confidence because all of this is easy, and I stay down
all the way through because I am not through shooting till I see the object ball rolling
I do not cloud my mind with instructions like stay down,don't jump up, follow through or anything else.
I see the shot,approach,bend over,hit the shot right away and make sure to see the cue ball hit the object ball
all quicker than it took to read what i just said
to me this is all I do when the pressure is on, these basics are easy and I don't cloud my mind with too many thoughtd
People tell me that I seem to shoot better for more money
To tell the truth betting high and playing in front of the croud scares me,so i reduce the game to these basics
See the shot,bend over with the aiming done,hit the ball and see the object ball move the first few inches
Before long there is nothing to worry about,my main enemy becomes carelessness
Now I am not claiming to shoot good or have any natural ability,but these basics help me shoot my best,which is often better than I thought it was
If this helps you shoot better and win money,please send me part of the profits.if you lose forget my advice
