Ipod While Playing ?
- Thread starter ForumGhost516
- Start date
I am with the people that say only for practice. I am just young and kind of new to the pool scene but one of the first things I was taught was etiquette. Not to mention I find it disrespectful to be ignoring someone like that. Than again I find it disrespectful to talk while someone is shooting or when you are playing someone. I listen to upbeat music to help get me in to a groove.
IPOD - What I think as the opponent
No, I don't wear an IPOD and have no objection to my opponent wearing one. In fact, when I am playing someone with an IPOD I say to myself this guy isn't head strong he can't think of the task at hand without being distracted. I feel like I have a mentally edge over my opponent. I see them using an IPOD as mental weakness. Now I might be totally wrong but that's how I approach anyone wearing an IPOD. I actually think it gives me an edge.
I think of it this way, every match I buy from TAR or Accu Stats the players are IPOD free. If the top players can do it with all the distraction around them, then I must learn to do it. Do I get distracted or sharked absolutely I do, but I get better at handling it everyday. Hopefully, one day soon my focus on my best day will become my focus everyday. I see an IPOD as a crutch. I believe the answer is to improve our mental game, focus and determination to win. JMO.
P.S. I love to listen to my IPOD and will when I am practicing sometimes.

That is absurd. Accommodation is available for those who have a need for it. But not in the PGA.mongoose- said:
