The World's Most Unusual Match Warm-Up Routines

[The Aviator]

And no one asked, who is the pro player who juggles the balls before a match. You all surprised me.

I'd be surprised if a lot of players don't have this as part of their pre-match routine.

For some reason, this reminds me of something I heard Buddy Hall say once:

"When I'm playing bad, I like to go to the bathroom, pull out my wallet, check my ID, and make sure that my name really IS Buddy Hall."

Funny thing about that is, his name really ISN'T "Buddy", it's Cecil.

I go to the restroom and spread my feet apart bend over and touch my toes about 10 times. It loosens my back and shoulders up. Also makes my lungs take in air better. Makes the blood flow to the head better too. I do not do this in the pool hall because I do not want people to think I am loosing it or something!

Not sure I would want to have air go to my lungs better from the Men's Room...

One of the best players I know sits in his car in the parking lot for ten minutes before each match. :wink:

Myself, I can't do anything but listen to the inner voice chanting "you're gonna dog it". It's so brutal.

Mad reps for your sig...LOL

Ha thats great, kinda reminds me of that dating commercial with the pro dart player, doing stretching and screaming mountian top while thowing. look up the commericial on utube i think its the zoosk dart commercial.
any ways its true, what ever works for that individual, to each his own

Used to have a young guy come in my pool room looking for action. When he found a game, the first thing he would do is run around the perimeter of the room about 6 laps. Then, he'd do about 5 minutes of stretching excercises ending with standing in one spot jumping about a foot up in the air for about a minute. Then, he grab his cue and say, "All righty then. Let play!"

Everyone that saw it for the first time had the same response: "What the hell?"

Whatever works for you.
