A little question for all of you.
After ten years of play I still go on working on my stroke. I’ve had the chance to play and watch several top players, and study their strokes in order to improve mine. I’ve made a lot of experiments and I’ve learnt playing with mechanical or soft strokes, looking for the best for me and trying to fit it to my game. The same with pace, and pre-shot routine. Now it’s time for me to choose my definitive style and go on with it, to acquire consistency. Now, the problem is that, having learnt different strokes and styles, one day I feel comfortable shooting fast-paced and with soft stroke (ala filipino) and one day I play great (for my level) with slow and methodic pace and mechanic stroke. As I said, I feel that I must choose which way I have to proceed on, but (this is finally the question for you) is there a parameter to help me choose the right stroke and the best routine for me?
Btw, I feel ok with my level, my high run in 9-ball is 7 (of course everybody wants to improve...) and I’m about to run my first hundred in 14.1 (I don’t play straight that much, and I know it’s a mistake), but I wish I had a definitive style and pre-shot routine to gain consitency and reduce stupid mistakes.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
