Rate my Speed please!

I think your game would look very different on a 9-foot pro-cut diamond. Not only do you make a lot of shots that wouldn't go on a pro-cut pocket, but your CB control, while mostly good enough for your purposes on this table, would be a big problem on a table where all the shots are tougher. You do a good enough job recovering from your mistakes on this table, but a less forgiving one would punish them much more harshly.

Because of that it's hard to judge your speed. On your table, maybe B or B+? If you came out to the weekly tournament I like to play in my area (on 9-foot pro-cut diamonds), I have a feeling I'd rate you a C. But of course that's total speculation.

Good, constructive criticism here^^^^^^^^^.
 
I would say C but is really hard to say. I wonder how you would do in the BU exam.

I played bar box all my life but started playing in a Dimond Pro Cut regurlarly recently and it has been a very humbling experience. I will do the BU exam on it and prob going to suck my first time with some of the exercises. I play very diferently on a bar box or house 8ft table since I can power long shots in for position a lot easier.
 
Thanks for all the imput guys! I actually play a lot of local tourney's and most are on the Diamond bar box. Few others on a mix of 8 and 9 footers. My table is a small 8 footer. I do pretty well in the tourneys, especially on the Diamond BB. I know I play much better on the Diamond BB than any other tables. The only nice tourney that I've played on a 9 footer was in last years U.S. Ameture qualifiers. I went thru my bracket and lost in the finals. I really appreciate the responses and input. Keep it coming.....:wave3:

I don't see the problem with the time you take on the shots.
I feel that it is good that you concentrate as much on the easy shots, as they can
be the ones you miss when taken for granted. Best to concentrate on the easy ones
to obtain good position.

When they say its a race to 10 I don't think they mean its a race!
