Practice what I Preach

"You have to learn uh X to get out of the cradle." Is a favorite expression. Cradle the cue. One handed from the cradled grip is a good challenge. to get out of the cradle you first need to live there.

Good morning Vietnam is a favorite movie.
"It's about honesty" is a favorite quote.
Dangerous is about survival.
My Little League baseball training had me hitting lead off at 8 against 12 year old pitchers.
My best tournament.....well a favorite performance was enhanced by Lake City Red attempt at shark with the Cheater word.

Lefty just had to crow. Hit a 6 leading off . 1 rail to the teal 2 is pretty basic. Love serving 6.

 

[gregcantrall]

Lefty is on fire closed the target with a 5 while Right managed a puny 1 for a hit. Gotta start with singles is his reply. Shrug.. 2 to the red 3 .....lead follow or get out of the way. Picture is what survey say. Over

 

[gregcantrall]

Right conjures and hits the 5. I'm alive... ...11 serving 6.

 

[gregcantrall]

Lefty hits 4 more....gotta get the physical therapy so enhance the dance is my solution. The full range of stretch and flex is the morning dance.

 

[gregcantrall]

Right adding 4 to the score.....no time for the math...
The survey doing the Deep squat to aim at table top elevation is therapy. A physical test if you will? The survey for me requires the Biden pace. Slow and sure. Much better than reckless abandon. Slow and sure can lull an opponent. Then there's "the sleeper hold".

 

[gregcantrall]

Right finds a fiver making it tied game going 3 or more to the purple 4...hmmmmm

 

[gregcantrall]

The first leg of my choice of 3 to the purple 4. A near miss of the teal 2 and the shot is there. Offers the study of rotation influence on whitey. Moving up and down the rail or hitting the same spot with different spin. Either way it's a win win. Physical and mental and it's fun. Well mostly.
Almost forgot, the balance of the cue took a while but it was rewarding to succeed. 3 times I had it only to fumble at the camera.

 

[gregcantrall]

The search started looking for 3 rails with the Z. Didn't take long to find 4 through the back door. The pad is launch and cue lays on the second leg of 4 to the back door. Right wins. Duh
Edit: Duh third leg

 

[gregcantrall]

Fun with the rails.The 2 rails to the orange 5, puts the side pocket in the way. An interesting study in the range of influences rotation of the white can provide.
Satisfaction comes with getting the hit from both sides of the pocket. The therapy reps are the point. Precision strike to the white is required.

Ben thinkin about signs. At the drop

I hold the 4 pads individually to center light and drop.
The near miss

Whitey hit the pad but didn't mount.

 

[gregcantrall]

Sign signs. Every where there's signs.

2 x4 foot attention getter. The Lure gets the customer into the sales area.
This is the "Stolen Things " version. They originally had a mirror and sold well at the Roseville flea market in the late '70s.

"You send them to school
You buy them books
And all they want to do is scrble on the pictures."

The 10 second timertime
Lots of therapy in the 1 rail to the red 3. I am using the 9 ball as cue ball. The traveling cueball is .....well it made it to the car. I had a memory moment at leagues last night. I was unaware that I had made the table run playing 8 ball. He made a dry break. Well his previous game he made 3 or 4 on the Break and ran out! Playing MY wife. Grrrrrr
Focused Focused Focused
Satisfaction comes with a Maximum 10 after the therapy deuces and trays. Onwards to find 2 to the 1 ball. I think I like the Z. We shall see.

 

[gregcantrall]

That's a good morning therapy session.

Sunday sun rise.
Took the children for a ride. Then they got washed. Now it's time to uh....go.

The lay oh the day has me going near the pocket to the near ball. The Tai Chi begins. Unfortunately or uh fortunately I didn't wear a shirt. Uh oh trigger alert. .....My first Court appearance as a Cadet was facilitated by my partner not getting out of his shirt. We started the Jack's Valley training bunked in 10 man tents. First morning assembly had us marching to the enclosed lecture area for uh....? Something Army. We marched mid group of 100 cadets. Once role was taken we set out marching up the valley. Mid March I looked behind and the back half had gone....I nudged Bryant of Bare Bryant and Cantrall. He nudged Bare. We peeled off at the next turn. Into the trees and figure to Catch Ray's for the hour....uh at the top of the little ridge in a clearing....that was mid path of the instructors short cut. The 2 of us with shirts off were ready to run, as the brand new buzz cuts had us all looking the same. No way would he want to chase. We looked to Bryant as we planted our launch foot. He was standing exposing his name to the Captain. ...My first of 4 Commandant's Disciplinary Boards. CDB oh yeah a board of judges equal Cadet officers and Officers usually Major and under. 4 and 40 was the verdict. 4 months and 40 hours marching with rifle.

Monday 7.15.24.....24 is it? How the time flies.
Dr Ruth has flown, in her mid 90s. The Joy of Sex was enlightening. probably stuff I have forgotten . Better review.
Ronnie review is Robotics. Well Ronnie's method employs the principles of robots whic& are controlled by computers. So comp science 101 is write the program. The physical therapy is to attempt execution. The uh Gawd duty is to observe .....be the witless.
A well written program plays like a musical masterpiece.
My morning fitness has the early steps nailed. The pressure situation has taught me that the slow part needs to come at the end. My studious observation of Dan Louie at every opportunity was valuable education. The complaint was, "he play so slow" the problem with that was, "he never miss".
I am proud of my opponent's handshake statement. "I can't beat your Slow Game." My 13 game run in 45 minutes at closing time......? I was down 80 and had 3 more barrels, when the self to self considered the options. Would be flat broke. So I won 50. The slow part for me comes at the end. Which can be variable (I have watched Ronnie . Giving the ring finger the trigger was a big step for me.

Tasting....
This is a test
Lefty Cheats
is the headline

Target 2 standing with a bridge, 2 rails to red stripe adjacent the launch pad is the challenge.
Proof of concept if you are not seeing the value in close observation of the tip/ball interaction. The adjacent cueball is the foul hazard that arose with the need for the off center strike to whitey. The precision of the strike that is required makes it satisfying when accomplished. The fouling did get the rules committee to rotate the launch pad.....just a tad......Dad. Lefty drew first blood with a 5. " Now gotta do it again to prove it was not luck."......Snickered the Lucky hand.
Iefty proves the leverage advantage of chin on the cue. The 5 point shot was much easier with chin on the cue. standing upright doesn't provide the same stability in the delivery of the tip through the ball....that's all.
