IDK if you heard someone reply: "is Brett still here" (he's the owner, and def much better than everyone else). ha ha."Who's the best player here?!"
"Who's the best player here?!"
I beat Rachel 13-12, 11-8, and she won the last set 7-5. She was a bit off her game, but I also played pretty good for me. I made a tiny adjustment, I had a local helping me with my game recently, and we discovered I was hitting straight in shots with a touch of left spin (when I was intending to hit center).
I couldn't fix it with my sighting, but at my home fisher price table before my match with Rachel, I was fooling around with it. I purposely moved my tip a hair to the right (in my vision), and couldn't believe the cb was now going dead straight with no spin on the stop shot. So every break with Rachel, and every straight center ball shot/draw shot, I aimed a hair to the right with my tip. I had way way better accuracy than before. Some of my breaks were still wild, but I had some where the CB was super super good and straight, wheras on prior sets that was very rare.

It's actually pretty amazing how well people can play when they AREN'T cueing straight. I'm going through a similar thing right now. Just returning to the basics and drilling straight in shots, has me getting closer and closer to straight every day. I think one of biggest differences between good and great players is the great players actually enjoy working on the really monotonous stuff. Most others just want to play pool.
Funny, I was just looking at my livestream history (where I was the streamer), and my first match was with Rachel. Look at how our fargorates have changed. ha ha.
