Practice what I Preach

Oh boy that's fun. The scoring and rules include the Australian rule.....a make and scratch scores double. However the scratch without the make gets the look of scorn and points deductible. 🤷‍♂️
 
Caution, Construction zone.

I had so much fun I had to invent the Beginning. 😉 Soooo white to white to break the rack. Ready set go.
 
My twisted 💭 led to phenolic tip no chalk playing 9 ball. Left vs Right. Kind of like the final hone when sharpening a knife. I want to make sure I have a good solid foundation, the coarse stone then the fine hone.
The morning 9.16.24
The fine control

The water Witcher is how I go into the stance. With the cue balance leading the steps in the dance of Gramps.

The Persuit of perfect is the sport. The achievement deserves a Trophy.

The uplift of laying in the Maxi going 2 rails to snuggle in with the red stripe kissing and cuddling. 😉
Doing the ground work well leads to the ability to focus on velocity once the aim is set. Of course the aim starts with coarse to fine technique. Far to near. 🤷‍♂️ Well kinda 🤷‍♂️
Now to find 3 or more to the. King. Looks like a simple solution. I so like puzzle games.
 
The 7 from heaven gives Lefty a crushing victory. Going up and down the rail to find the right angle requires consistent rotation and velocity of the white. Changing more than one variable at a time is a crime. 🤷‍♂️

Letting the sun dictate the fun. Kinda cold this morning. 59 but here comes the sun.
Proof of concept 😉 Last night's tournament provide my first victory in a tournament in uh a long time. 🤷‍♂️ A totally recreational endeavor that grossed uh 175 off a 50 investment in entry options. 🤷‍♂️ or was it 185 ?
A race to 2 9⃣ ball on 7 foot Valleys.....alternate break. A real crap shoot. I got Lucky 🍀 plusses I am up a hundred.....almost. 😉 oh what fun.
 
As Yogi said, "half the game is 80 percent mental."
Keeping my mind right.....just like Cool Hand Luke.
Every match went hill/hill. 😉 I did have 1 more if needed. 🤷‍♂️
 
Put 'em on the Brunswick was my favorite one pocket lesson.
Friday 9.20.24.
Happy birthday Little Sister.
The private room takes away the goofball fear.
Dance Grampa is an easy way to get the stretch and flex, like yoga said Yogi. 🧘‍♂️
Finding the balance like karate kid.
Then the exer-geni lift of the cue from the floor to ceiling.
 
Sunday funday has snooker on the menu. Neal Robertson vs Wu Yize. The snooker battle shows the obvious of why I start the day with the Kicks Like A Mule. Matchroom Live has the lessons now. "And so it goes on."
 
Letting the sun dictate the fun.

Caution advancedstudy:
The shadow knows was the challenge.
2 rails to the stripe on the right rail was the result.
The shadow picks the line as I need my body shadow to shade whitey.
Right provided the 6 point result in the photo. Lefty provided giggles.
 
Trophy day, gotta put them on display. 😉

I didn't realize the 9 ball tournament included the trophy and title. 🤷‍♂️ Looks like the 8 ball was based on win percentage.
 
Ah good morning. Monday fitness starts with balance. 20240923_063823.jpg Hold for 10 seconds?
Then the other side.20240923_064319.jpg Getting balanced on the plant foot.
 
Balanced mentally is part of the therapy. Remember Yogi said, "half the game is 80 percent mental.
 
20240923_065927.jpg The one day project that took a day and a half. 😉 The Coachman that includes a concrete footing. Wind gusts around here? Hmmm better add to the footing. 🤷‍♀️

Good morning sun is the exercise. The cue on the left is held by the camera shy guy. The balance of the cue in The Cradle. With it balanced like the compas needle. Put it on the line and hold it fine. A simple therapy exercise.
Oh Wow simply wow.

The cue is on the line dictated by the sun/shadow. It needed special sauce. Laid in a 9!!@ first shot o the day. That's whitey married to the yeller 1 ball. Now to remember....which hand? Scratching head.
 
20240924_071946.jpg
The sun of the gun made it fun. More special sauce required. The cue lays on the first leg of 2 to the teal ball bottom left. Right got the hit after significant therapy. Lefty's shot is totally different because of shadowing requirements. Shrug 🤷‍♂️
