Hi all,

The new GB9 tour in the UK is starting in Feb, and I am practising as much as possible to get ready for the tour.

The problem I have, is in practise, at any random time I can play great for an hour or 2 hour session, running "open" racks at 5 or 6 a time, which for me is good. Then another practise session, I feel like I am not really "there" so to speak, do not know how to explain it. But I am lucky to run 3 in a row, etc, remember these are open 9 ball racks, so 3 in a row should be pretty straight forward etc, if cueing well...

I really need to improve on my mental side and consistency, I get so angry internally when Imiss easy balls or lose out on position when I know I am capable of making it...

Please advise on best consistency and any other competition preparation...

Many thanks,
L

A secret that just might work for you. Please don't tell anyone else. Okay?

When you are having one of those off days, try changing cues. Maybe even use a house cue for a while, like 45 minutes to an hour. Then go back to your regular playing cue. You are likely to find yourself right back in stroke!

Remember I told you this is a secret. I truly don't know why it works so often, but it does. Trust the old "roadie". :)

Sorry, it will only work for laser. :)
 
I have tried that a few times, but i use a predator and find it very strange swapping to a house cue, they dont spin the ball the same, lol
Will see how it goes, just need more practise i guess,
