Practice what I Preach

[gregcantrall]

Just Goofy around.3 cue balls.
3 object balls.
3 targets.
Going in off to score a point all else is a foul. Left vs Right. Go.

Pocketed white gets a point and shooters choice for alien target re entry to the field of friendly strife.
We had a sand pit that we could wrestle in. That was the lower grades of elementary school.
Off we go.

Sunday! Funday diversion.

Three ball with the rack seriously skewed. Study the geometry and find a shot. Gotta love 3 ball practice.

The photo

It's a Maximum! Stick lays on first leg of 2 rails to the purple 4 ball. Last cueball lays on the launch pad. Now to find 3 rails to the dirt color 6 ball. Hmmmm

 

[gregcantrall]

Looking like my planets are in alignment. The cue lays on the first leg of 3 rails to the king ball.
Fells fine to finish with a 9. Better get to work now.

Going to the side rail with extreme spin to get Whiteys third rail right where the bridge hand is. Station 3 provides an interesting study. Pitting the Left vs Right at first provides humor. Then amazed humor then just amazed when Lefty solves the shot first.

Keep it simple silly. Each attempt requires a lap Er uh dance around the table. My physical therapist has me flap my arms as the goose spreads it's wings. And of course sings. A silly song........I'm not your daddy I'm your Grampa.....lap dance? Hmmm I always wondered what that was. do not tell the kids.
So Lefty knocked out a 5 and 3 to close the one handed start. Now 2 rails to the front right 14 ball. Bridge employed with sky view. Go

 

[gregcantrall]

The 2 railer came too easy so 3 rails to the king 15 ball. Take a lap and make a map.

So my calculations indicate short. So off we go to explore the influences available. Off we Go into the Wild Blue Yonder.

That went quickly. Lefty opens with a center ball strike and indeed it's short but the speed was excellent. So now the Right takes the spin to maximum on the running side a hair low to get the hanging curve effect. It worked too well. Well it was just a feeler that proof of availability. Lefty replied with 0

Proof of concept.
Off we Goooo to great the sun...

 

[gregcantrall]

studying for form.

Shaun Murphy shows the importance and difficulty of center ball.
Making practice fun!

 

[gregcantrall]

Wow, have been housekeeping.

Found an interesting 4 rail challenge to the Black king 8 ball. Lefty solved it fist. Tied the score. So now the Decider.

 

[gregcantrall]

The Percerverence prof of practice provides a Lucky 13 Maximum. It's a hard one but that makes the challenge rewarding when accomplished. Off to great the day.

The competition experience at the CSI Vegas. Is over.

I played to my number certainly. Had some good clean competition. A Short Track event. With 3 games per match in the team event was an enjoyable event.. We had good clean competition and lost . Fair and Square.
Of course a little deeper.......oh never mind. I am enjoying my consolation beer. I Salute. The Victor's. Butt butt , I have 3 more barrels. I hate it when I play my number. Butt...oh never mind. There, I have whined. We had fun.
Oh but I was just getting warmed up. If ....oh never mind. I .

The Vegas aftermath is upon me. The bug or virus or flu ? Feeling it in the muscles.......All of them.
Still on Rest and Recovery....well it's Sunday anyway.
Finding the balance. Adding balance to the stretch and flex is the prescription.
The Freedom of My Chains. Oh it's good to be back home.

Cold finger morning, short track set up this morning leads to a 3 stroke best of all time personal record.
Oh Crap! Better deflate the head. Yikes, okay must be time for 3 ball
