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.

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.

Life is good.

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 ".

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.

Oh crap it went. First try!!!! Trophy picture required.
Wish I could remember which hand....must have been Lefty. Definitely my lucky hand.

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.
