Practice what I Preach

The one handed phenolic tip Chase Challenge is educational and rehabilitation along with entertainment.
Left vs Right provides valuable insights.
Blind er is the flavor of the day. Putting the bill of the cap at elevation that eliminate all but the cueball when down on the shot. Doing the rough aim to finish quality. Allows the eyes to focus on the contact point on the cueball. The rest of the body focus on the speed snd path bothe to and through the cueball. Watching the impact is education on a fast track.

The proof is in the pudding.
Today's score is Lefty 8 and Right 6 after 45 minutes. That leaves 15 minutes to get the last 2.
Off we goo.

Ah the fitness program in cold weather.. eek 57! OMG I ran a wet saw in Spokane in January. It required antifreeze. I must be getting old er.
The stretching is critical.
The Frog done slow is the way to go.
I go for my catcher stance or 3 point football stance.
Being the smaller dog in the fight we were required to use a 4 point stance. Getting under a lifting with our largest muscles. The Frog kick.

10 25 51. Oh shit I should have bought a ticket.
Birthday present was the vacation. Well on a mini scale.
The APA Vegas event had a positive experience.
Our interactions with opponent teams were all positive.
I might have only won 1 match but it was a dues E. A brief blast from the past on my birthday.
I even got a pin for a break and run. I had no memory of it. I did have memories of recovery shots. The table run probably include 2 banks. (at least

The morning after.
Reflection as I do a cold morning start.
Starting with A fart.
Compression under pressure. The pressure is all self created.
Reflecting on the missed chances to excel.
I shot well but slipped and fell.

The good news is nothing got broken.
The morning cold Start is Phenolic tip one handed.
On shot 7 of The Chase already. Foundation is solid.

Oh Kay the story. The early arrival allowed entry to a $ 20 mini in 8 ball. I dispatched my first 2 opponents in close and well fought battles on the field of friendly strife.
My third match was with Jamie and he went to 5 when I needed 4.
We got to hill/hill and down to one ball each and the 8 ball. Jamie put the handcuffs on wih a precision safety. With whitey marriage with his ball near the headstring presented a kick to my ball in a spot that could be kicked to the side pocket or the far corner. The location of the 8 ball was why I chose the corner.
I hit it Sweet and my ball tracked straight to the corner as whitey proceeded forward to ball in hand shape on the 8. Ah oh no The Valley Roll! It drifted off the rail just enough to fail to fall after gently bumping both rails. Eeek! Of course Jamie was up to it and wide eyed at the handshake. His compliments included his knowledge of my first 2 opponents and their abilities on the table. Well they were both rather Chafed at their defeats. And oh yeah the one remaining player took second money $ 80 and left. Leaving Jamie 160 and I got 40 for third/fourth.

Ah the cold morning start. Lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s. Brings fond memories of running the wet saw in Spokane. Lows in the 20s
Life is good.

 

[gregcantrall]

Phenolic tip one handed with the physical requirements of ground to ceiling stretch.
The 10 second timer gives a perfectly good cardio.
Push the button and go.
Need some 60s tunes now. Maybe The Beach Boys, I am "from California ".

 

[gregcantrall]

Tuesday already.
Reflection on the heart felt hand shaking as we exited the field of friendly strife. My request to them was to win it all would help salve, "my wounds"
They Did is the report. Whoop E.

 

[gregcantrall]

Shirley I Joust.

Still too cold for the stretch. Okay time to do that.
The Body shot is pictured. 10 second timer. Set up wait for the click then shoot from the hip.
Oh crap it went. First try!!!! Trophy picture required.
Wish I could remember which hand....must have been Lefty. Definitely my lucky hand.

 

[gregcantrall]

The Cradle.
Cradle the cue. Carry it that way. Period.
Getting the stance and balance is the task. Balance the cue and allow the weight to do the work.

 

[gregcantrall]

I'll be darned, it's working. Eeeek!
Just the weight of the cue with the balanced pointing adjusted with the slightest pinky input. Uh oh better refocus as that's just one of the 16 basics in The Chase.

 

[gregcantrall]

Almost Halloween, cold finger morning.
The flavor oh the day, I will call The Grady drill er practice.
One ball
Phenolic tip
One handed
Competition of left vs right is healthy. Well on the field of friendly strife.

Pick a Point On the rail then pick a pocket. When that ball falls pick another spot and pocket.
Plenty of time to warm up slow. Ready set go

 

[gregcantrall]

Foot spot to mid spot is my logical starting point for the one handed kick to pocket whitey. Simple stuff for Lefty. I better anticipate more than the 3 spots foot mid and head.

 

[gregcantrall]

That's Lefty
Made the Kick that required just a touch of.
The 3 spots complete with Lefty leading 2-1. What fun. It's a fitness routine. The stretch and flex are required to get the full benefit of staying fit.
Let's see how crazy Lefty wants the next challenge.

 

[gregcantrall]

Got IT! Was the exclamation as Lefty made 3 to the side from the foot spot. 3.5 to 1. Well Lefty had a hanger that We award half point for. Lefty's special so special points.

 

[gregcantrall]

Okay the Z bank, from the mid spot. Ready set go.

 

[gregcantrall]

Oh No! Right copied off Lefties paper. Hitting the Z brings it to 2-3..... Maybe a longer 3 railer for the next, as we still have 25 minutes.

 

[gregcantrall]

Started from the foot spot looking fir 3 to the corner and Lefty found 2 to the side. The challenge became do it again. Lefty took a while to do it but did making the score 4.5 to 2. break time.
