Like the title says, I'm a notoriously slow starter and have been struggling in tournaments and matches where I don't have a chance to warm up.
It usually takes me about three racks or more before I feel like I'm even remotely in stroke so it seems like I'm always trying to play catch-up, especially against players who can run off 2 or 3 racks right off the lag.
My strategy has been to wait out my opponents through safeties at first, but playing defensively just isn't an effective way to get into stroke.
Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.
