Practice practice practice

Since I have a prescription for 3 stroke then shoot.... take 2 then peek....leads to early correction.
Baby Steps will take this to The Chase. I better open with a prayer. This could take a while 😉
 
The big Eye(imagine action) then the Leap of Faith. Oh what fun.
The Chase is now the Snail Race. At 2-2 it's time for the midsession interval.🤷👍
 
I called it the Truth thinking it would give me an assessment of which hand was Best. Wouldn't you know it came down to a decider on the last shot. Am tempted to declare a draw😁😉
 
Feelings (to the tune of Barbara Streisand ). People who have feeling ....... well anyway the practice has been a touchy feely learning experience. The feeling of the ball on the tip gives feedback as to how I did.🤷

Oh what a feeling closed with a triple. Both balls potted. Uh. ,.. the power hand of course.🤷🤪
 
David Rhodes gave me a lesson on the big Eye. ...... Imagine the shot......... simple huh!
Blinds practice reminds me of the blind Shaugh Lin monk. Was that Kung Foo?
Should be classified information 🤷 Kids..
...try this At Home.
 
Progress report:
Feelings (uh oh Barbara Streisand just started singing in my head) are HUGE.
With the eyes closed I feel like I am able to refine the latest improvement of the ring finger trigger.
Feelings.....feelings...... for people that like feeling s Are the Luckiest People, in the World.
 
My Yogi-ism: The eyes closed practice is a real Eye Opener.
Competition rule is when the chin touches the cue eyes closed. Two peeks are allowed. Both when the cue stops after practice stroke. (Like training wheels.) 😉
The advanced play is keep them closed until I hear the plop.
 
A terrible thing just happened:
The last position in the Blind Chase had the left leading 11-6. The right found the 6 point shot! The proverbial blind squirrel found a nut!
The problem is my head becomes over inflation and I will be out in 2 this afternoon at tournament.🤷
 
The take away: I finished one out of the money Sunday. Have had time to digest the one miss 🤪. Even expected a laps due to the blind practice focus so close to competition.
My personal conclusion: I need to condense the aiming down to point of contact. Then turn it over to feelings. However the eyes and feely fingers can work together. The Ring finger and the left eye are in charge of the hand-eye co-ordinator.
 
Faith, Hope and Luck. Development of faith through disciplined practice. Center ball, no chalk. The Chase has become the Slow Walk, Seniors division.😉
I must execute each step to precision, then leave it, trust my training.
 
First check is the balance in the blind assessment.
My wellness check: close my eyes when the chin touches the cue, with confidence. I have completed the aiming process.

The balance is constantly monitor Ed for movement.
The delicate touch test is just that. Take my two practice strokes and then touch the cue ball.
 
From the gentle touch to the slow kiss. My pool practice porn. I find I play better. When I like the way I am thinking.🤷
By forced form/rhythm gives me the chance for check points.
"It's like a dream". I can open my eyes at any time. "I like to watch"🤷🤪
 
Dr's Report:
The examination consists of; close eyes when chin touches the cue. Take two normal practice strokes, then proceed to touch. Open eyes.

The left is significantly low and left....start over.....back to the Basics.🤷
 
Still not sure but; Search ing like a sobriety test. Am I weaving in my lane. Not sure
Then aiming program to mechanics. How is my tip making that consistent change? So far magic 🤷 Bringing in Sherlock (the video).
 
Buggers! I put lefty up under the camera and he straightened right up.!?

Little Earl is my name for the camera holder.
Note to self, send to marketing.😉🤪
 
Since Lefty passed, I/we move on to the Slow Kiss.
Rules; foot spot head spot placement of balls. Kiss gets a point. If less than a butt separation 2 and frozen 3.
Playing as equal offense, so alternate shot with first advantage equals win. Right opening 2-1-0 and Lefty doing the same. Winner takes the 1 point to the Chase.
 
It's not practice it's a fitness program:
I used to think shovel work was weight work.
The weight work in my fitness program is about where the cue ball stops.
Something I can do with just the cue ball.🤷
Not cheap! I prefer economical.
I don't live in a travel trailer. It's mobile module living space.😁
