Practice practice practice

Wow back already?
Just to polish off the bully at leagues story.
He couldn't overcome my Discipline. My manner and tone of voice was evidently up to the task and garnered warm handshakes at the end. Well with the bullies team mates. The bully was still sulking. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. 😉

The shot o the day is 2 rails to the brown stripe 15. It requires a delicate application of spin at a low velocity. A task that Lefty took to immediately. The Right on the other hand.....was ham handed. Not nearly as capable of the delicate touch. Hmmm, I better look into that. 😉
 
Life's lessons or Santa Stories:
On the table of friendly strife, I can enjoy a good battle. A 2 armed man is a well armed man.
Oooops
Ambassador to the Game is the title I seek.
"The size of the Fight in the dog is more important than the size of the dog in the fight." Famous quote, I think uh Bob? Lilly. The small Allstars lineman.
 
The random obstacle course? Nah more like a revised race track. Is the effect I seek with the random distribution of target and launch pads.
 
OH! HELL-O lefty pulls off a luck shot. Lucky Lefty for sure. Grazes the 9 leaving it in the 3 point hole 2 rails and bonus point for (bogus rule) proximity to the rail. End rail that is. Missed by 4 feet on the speed and gets 6! Gee is the Rights mumble serving a little Ole 9 to 17. 3 rails to the ups brown 7. Hmmmm
 
A natural 3 railer bringing whitey at the 7-4 combo. Right hits it for 5 and a 1 point victory. Wants the Trophy evidence of the beautiful 6 Lefty hit on the 9. :headshake:20231216_083650.jpg
 
Sunday funday morning 12.17.23:
Snooker on the tell E. Wilson vs Saengkham. Shoot just spelling that name gives me a mental workout. Important to work out the Mental.
Good education for anyone that strives for the Ultimate of My Abilities.
 
My survival manual tells me that I don't have to be the fastest. Just faster than the slowest. 🤷‍♂️ I have been awarded an excuse t shirt for first one out. Ouch!
The leverage is sorta fun. Knowing my chances on any given shot is a key calculation. When "In the Zone" it's a feeling more than a thought. Like listening to beautiful music. Kind of funny that Nineball Billy gave the most accurate description of Efren's stroke. It had been called Pump handle. Billy described it as playing a 🎻. The delicate influence the fingers bring to the playing of pool is indeed 🎶.
 
"6-2, We've seen finals won from there !" Oh my Goodness. My Comeback story. 🤷‍♂️ C'mon Saengkham!!! (Got Saengkham on the second try 😉)
 
Something that looks so simple is very difficult for me. It is so easy to get out of position and mess things up!

Hello Mon Dec 18, 2023: The Jauster Lefty's form. Seems to be an advanced challenge. So don't try this without proper training. 🤷‍♂️ 😉 Just one rail to the red 3 ball. Lefty service 2-6 produces a blank. The camera with 10 seconds timer is a good self exam tool.

Right found the 4 points on the 3ball. The balance of the cue is a part of my personal physical and mental therapist. Self that is 😉
So Lefty serving 2-10. Going 2 rails to the ups 7 ball.
 
Right closed target2 with a 5 sending Lefty to lead going at least 3 rails to the red stripe 11 king pad resident. Hmmmm 6 service 21.
 
Tuesday 12.19.23:
League day. So soften the morning workout is my prescription. Rest the physical give the mental the reins. Hope we Don T get lost. 😉
The connections....as electrical works for me. The in the field education I got on reading the electrical schematics. The Funny Books as I, as a machine operator, thought of them.
So connect the ball to the pocket with a branch for cueball as well. Simple.
Picture
Imagine
Execute
Simple as pie. 😉
My electrical sequence works best when the signal goes brain to ring finger. The majority of my near missed shots is when I fall back to the index finger as the trigger. Just a slight difference BUT it can be the ball left hanging. 🤷‍♂️
 
The ring finger gets to make the direct connection with the cueball and exert precise pressure to the chosen path through the cueball. Could be thought of as surgical precision.
Kind of thankful for the piano lessons now. 😉
 
Santa Alert! Definitely had a sighting yesterday. Pictures will Shirley follow.
The VFW hosted Santa for the community. Definitely a success. I enjoyed the gig, as I only had one line. Ho ho ho. Then it was modified to avoid a lost translation. So Ha ha ha. 🤷‍♂️
My fun with morning fitness is enjoyable at target 2 at this time.

2 rails to backdoor the teal 2 ball. A fun exercise.
 
Ho ho ho and a commercial will follow. 😉

The one rail to the yellow 1 ball was simple enough. So on to the purple 4 ball 2 rails is an interesting study in geometry and the speed Spin interaction. Enough to keep Gramps amused while taking his prescription of the morning fitness program.
The physical therapist used the cue balance exercise.

To find the balance of the cue whilst perfecting the personal balance and form that takes every leverage advantage.
