I've slowed down, but I really don't know because I haven't been in enough consitent play to know what my speed really is. I've only played 5 tournaments in the last 4 years and it's tough to get "loose" That's my main thing right now is when I do play in a tournament I put added pressure on myself because I know if I miss I might not get to shoot again for 6-8 months...LoL...it's not an "ideal" situation, that's why I'm going to work so hard at getting another pool room and start a POOL SHOW with these people SO I can play consistently again. I will never do it unless I make this 'The Game is the Teacher' project happen....I really want to see how I play now, because I'm technically playing BETTER than I used to. My fundamentals are very fine tuned after doing this latest DVD.
