Play like GOD!

I am writing this to help fellow players who are in the same boat that I was.

I had a real problem with the consistency: 1 night I would shoot like a 'A' player and the next night would shoot like a 'D' player.

This has happened enough for me to go and see what I am doing when I am at 'A' compared to 'D'.

Everything is the same except when I am shooting at an 'A' level, just before pulling the trigger I see the object ball being pocketed and then I shoot.

Well it is hard to explain it in words but make sure your mind sees the path on how to make the ball and your body will follow with the required action.

It took me 7 years to figure this out...I hope you don't have to suffer as I did.

Actually, God doesn't play much anymore. There's no money in it so he plays hold 'em practically every day now.

I thought it was because Lucifer jacked his cue?

Great post!!!

Your subconcsious mind is a like a super computer.It knows every pool shot you have ever made and yes does respond to visualization.Many top golfers and pool players apparentley visualize each shot before pulling the trigger.I have been lazy with this and your post has made me realize this.

Your conscious mind(analytical side of brain)can sabatoge the stroke with a clutter of information.The conscious mind with it's commands of keep your head down, follow through,don't choke etc etc etc can paralyse the smooth stroke that your sub conscious mind wants and KNOWS HOW to deliver via visualization.

The Book, "The Inner Game of Tennis" varifies what I am saying and you are onto something good.Thanks for your post as it's reminded me of something vital I need to implement into my game on a more consistent basis.

You have to be able to visualize the shot in your mind before you can ever physically do it. Good thoughts.

Nope! I do believe your thinking of Jesus. You know the guy with the cowboy hat. God still plays pool.
