Robley, I noticed you shoot a lot better when you follow through and stay down. Seems like you have a problem of occasionally just poking at the ball and raising up while you hit the ball. This seems to happen on shots you take for granted, or in situations where a lot of players get distracted by bad thoughts, such as when you didn't get the position you wanted, or when you're taking a shot you know is risky.
No matter what the circumstances, you should always take your time to focus yourself on the shot, and then approach it the same way every time, play the shot with a confident stroke, and stay still to watch the balls obey your commands.
Your fundamentals look really solid, when you follow through and stay down.
Also, you mentioned you already know you need to step away from the table after every shot, and step into the next shot, and I agree with that. Adding this step can prevent a lot of aiming/alignment errors.

no u dident i wasent in Galveston
i was 1 match win away from top 16 out of 62 players
Very nice job.
On the way you play i see barely anything wrong. You have the same aggressive style as me and i like it!!! Especially that three railer on the four ball. You barely missed the kiss....Got shape and recovered to perfect position after the next shot. Well Done!!
Funny how someone mentioned earlier that you should focus more on the easier shot but i beg to differ. When your playing 9-ball and especially on a bar table you have to play the way you do. You should rarely have to play safe and when you do the safes need to be great :wink:
IMHO i think you play just fine. Bar table or a nine footer it shouldn't matter. Just go with you gut and play with your heart and you'll be just fine

Your disability will not hurt you in pool unless it limits the amount of time you can spend at the table.
I would recommend a 9 footer and mix in some 14.1 to improve your cue ball control but rather than listening to a lot of people on the internet I would seek out a world class instructor like Danny DiLiberto and soak up everything he tells you.

Robley, I was able to watch more of your game and I must say you played great. You showed power, finesse, cue ball control and good decisions. The bar box looks fun I cant remember the last time I played on one. Anyway Thanks for the link.

Robley,
You get to the point where the mental game is a huge part of what it takes to win. JoeW has an excellent article he just posted a link to and many other articles that are there for the reading. A little searching will turn up articles by Bob Jewett and Dr. Dave too. Some of Blackjack's may be still out there also. A ton of information there for the taking. I strongly suggest that you start with Joe's article here.

I can't give you any advice on your game as i'm incapable of streaming. Stupid dial up in the boonies. I will say this though. You seem to have your head on straight, and seem to be willing and fully expectant of the learning curve you face, best advice i've ever heard is to never play the opponent and play the table with your style.
Pretty much all in all I think you're humble, and a good guy and doing well in the game. That's the most important thing.
Nothing can hold you back, trust me if you're anything like the rest of the louisiana boys i've met. You're more stubborn than a mule, and Will eventually be a champion. Good luck to you and congratulations on not letting your condition stop you from your dreams. :grin:
