Practice what I Preach

1 ball starts it all.
The Australian Billiards Champion only got one ball for 1 month starting out."THINK ABOUT IT !" was the Coach McHargue parting shot, when meet in hallway.
I played center at 155, listed as 165. Made All League as center on the high school football team. Oh yeah he opened with "Their middle guard weighs 205......think about it. 🤔
 
Okay Lefty is up early this cold start morning.

uh the resultof Lefty's 2nd shot after draining first shot to the other hole. Uh unrequired One Handed! Yikes and by respect to uh Home Rules a hanger is worth 2 😉 20251117_073933.jpg
 
Where was I? Oh yeah the cold start is getting tense as Lefty swings for the record.
4 service zero.
Got it. Lefty is on a one handed terror campaign.
Oh well slipped and fell.
Right replied with a 3 and pft.
Off we go. Into the wild blue yonder .
 
Well a transition to a Three Ball Free for all Challenge that provides entertainment and exercise of both the physical and mental (no landmarks please) (;
 
SIR THERE ARE 4 MINUTES UNTIL FIRST CALL. THE UNIFORM OF THE DAY IS:

Hoodia with cangaroo pocket. uh SIR!!!!

Well the cangaroo pocket is an opportunity to clean the balls.
 
Oh good morning, cold finger morning.
I am hitting them good, so must be going the right way.
Well cold fingers require break so introspection time. What am I doing Right as opposed to the normal wrong analysis. 😉
Phenolic tip
Good chalking protocol
Good foundation and form work
Good attitude
And uh oh yeah I focus on impact occurring first at the tip then ball to ball. Seeing the rotation of whitey as it leaves my cuetip is enlightening. Shrug 🤷‍♂️
 
Oh good cold morning. 11.22.25:
Whew 3 ball challenge in uh The Wonder Bar , Bullhead City, was an interesting and enjoyable time. Slim pickin time of the economy was obvious. My wife Jackie dominated the little bitty 3 ball field. She produced the only 3! My kinda game. 😉 I did provide a par 4 or 2 to break even.
The expression was, "a tie is like kissing your sister." But well the game was fun.
I even picked up a $10 8⃣ ball game. The youngster nipped me for 20 on our last meeting. 🤷‍♂️ I had a good test that I passed but got the pleasure of the competition. Had a slow start but deep pocket so, I got my 20 back and the youngster got a free 20 dollar 8 ball lesson. 🤷‍♂️ Definitely the "Old Man's" game. I paid for my lessons. 🤷‍♂️ His is still smarting for sure. He played well but slipped and fell. 3 times scratching the 8. 🤔
