Practice what I Preach

Lefty scores first but just a 3. 🤷‍♂️ Proof of concept. Give 'em the finger.
^left over from yesterday^
The morning madness continues.
The method of madness?

Getting the reps this morning. Cold fingers and such. The over the shoulder option for the 1 rail kick to the orange 5 is the Right hand, Lefty has a more familiar posture available.
Again the dart grip or even pen holder for the Right hand option is a good exercise. 10 reps should be educational along with therapy. I lap and full stretch with each attempt. Duh....go!
 
Oh No! Lefty opens with a 🍹.

Well it's 1 short of a Maxi as the white is just a tad shy the hole. So 9 is fine and so much for the reps....OK will give the Right 10 reps in a row. Over the shoulder might improve. 🤷‍♂️
 
What can you say? It's just Lefty's day. Over the shoulder, Lefty finished the target with a 4. Sufficient reps for interesting observations. 🤷‍♂️
Now 2 to the 9 ball (with both hands).
 
Lefty crushed the second target but the Right finally scored a Maxi with 3 rails to the king 12 ball.
Got The therapy
Got a refresh on knowledge
Got entertainment with improved skills.
Practice Practice Practice 🤷‍♂️
 
Good morning after. Leagues
8 balls and object ball last is the black one.
Simple to run 8 with precision control of white. I found myself just in time to score the break and run. Just for fun. Took my first 5 games to find myself winning. Navigation of traffic is the 8 ball skill. Just like driving cab in Reno.

Driving a 12 hour shift at night. They turned over at least a half dozen drivers a week. After a week you got out of the ancient checker cab into a Plymouth Volare that 2 drivers share......your cab. 120 was mine after a week of 56.
 
Respect the shot and let the shot find itself.
Is the Lefty's method for aiming. 🤷‍♂️
Morning 10 second drill.

One rail one handed to the purple 4. Lefty's first effort provides proof of concept. Over.

The morning after leagues. Well I finally got a table run. Till the 8 went down it wasn't fun. 🤷‍♂️
The last shot of the match and of the night.
Basic 8 ball is if you go for it and miss the 8 ball attempting the break and run.......you are toast. Coming to the table with 7 options is a huge advantage. Finding shots that leave little on the 8 ball for only the last stopping perfect for the 8 ball sitting on the hardest spot on a bar table. Stuck to the rail adjacent the side pocket. Control the tension by directing it to the perfection of the strike to the white. The application of the light Ning pin point strike to whitey.
Saw so many 8 balls Jared last night. Why? Is a study in how the player that just made 7 nice shots just jarred the 8.
My experience tells me that when I do it, I was not following my prescribed routine. Prescription requires pin point cueball resting goal.
Note to self. Do it Every Time. Over

It's a 10 second drill. Push the button and go. You should film the show. Watch, rinse repeat, see smells like.....washy wash.20250123_090623.jpg Can't forget the frog.20250123_090453.jpgThe "selfish er uh selfies " are in reverse order. The cold morning start has me at address in the first lap. The acceleration of successful laps is evidence. 🤷‍♂️
 
Good for my ♥ and health I hope. It's a Fitness Program. Without the gal in a leotard. Shrug 🤷‍♂️
10 second laps. Go

The final 3 rails to the king 15 ball is an interesting study in influences of the slightest variation in rotation of whitey. The goal is side to side then foot rail. A delicate shot on this equipment. Ah what fun.
 
Wouldn't ya know...Lefty was helpless till the final target. Then scores the game winning 8 point shot. Only hit but a winner just the same. It's just a Game. 🤷‍♂️ Off we go to enjoy the day.
 
Creating the picture starts with a mechanical drawing. Starts with points to lines to planes.
Visualize starts standing at Attention, At Rest but giving the problem Attention. Square to the line with distance from whitey measured by the balanced cue. Allows the same dance step as I intend to allow my fingers to paint the fineness with the most sturdy base available.
 
Picture this20250125_055335.jpgooops here's my solution.20250125_055958.jpg it took a while to find the solution but the back called Enough as soon as a single point was scored. 🤷‍♂️
Okay 2 to the red stripe 11 ball.
Ready go.
 
Lefty proves to be photo genius. With a 7 point result after the click. 🤷‍♂️ 20250125_061555.jpg
