Has anyone videotaped their practice session and seriously analyzed it?
Last night, I turned on my camera and shot some straight in shots. I lined up 8 balls about 2 balls apart from one side pocket to another, I placed cue balls 3 diamonds away, and straight in stop shots.
My goal was to find things I was doing (or not doing) that were causing me to miss shots. I did not observe much on the video that were tell tale signs of my misses. However, I did observe a couple of things.
- the speed of my shots varied. I rattled some balls due to lack of pocket speed.
- slight inconsistency in getting down on the shot (feet weren't planted right, My head and cue go down on the shot together, whereas normally, my cue would be slightly first on the table before i line my head/eye on it.).
- somewhat rushing.
- big one: not hitting the center of the cueball .... Throwing the obj ball off course..
For the ones that have videotaped their practice and analyzed it before.. What did you observe? What did u do to correct your mistakes? What drills did u record?
thanks!
