What's the part of your game on which you'd have to work the most before you could turn pro? (Or if you actually are a pro, then simply what's the worst part of your game?)

p.s. Love to see what CJ has to say here. :)
 
My Desire.........

Ah, we have our first "Other". :smile:

...Oh, and silly me forgot to include "safety shots" as an option. Please make a post to say so if you select "Other" for that reason, so I can tot up the number of safety shot answers after 100 days. :smile:
 
My eye sight since an accident nearly 20 years ago. The problem is that my eye sight is not bad enough that I don't get distracted by 'Hot Bodies'.:wink:

At least I'm happily married & old enough to quickly put the fantasy to rest before the next shot. Well...most of the time.
 
I miss balls, even when I'm trying hard and they're only medium difficulty.

My break is poor but not being able to make routine shots is a bigger problem. Both would need fixing before I could get past B player status.

Breaking when I don't do it well... Sometimes I break great. Sometimes I break good. But sometimes I break really bad... Need more consistency on the break...
 
My weakest part of the game is winning cant seem to do that enough.
 
Shooting when the cue ball is frozen to a cushion; and exponentially more so as the distance to the object ball or pocket increases.
 
Weakest part of mine is the cue..... No matter how expensive or how I hold it I cant seem to play a lick...:thumbup:
 
id say mine is my banking and sometimes the break and i rush alot when i need to just slow down and play my game
 
My break is beautiful, but it's so crappy. I hit a solid 25 mph and I make one ball if I'm lucky. I've yet to find a spot in the kitchen that I like/feel confident hitting from.
 
How many can I choose??? I see six or seven choices that I need to start with right out of the gate :o!!!

Maniac
 
I'm affected most by intentional sharking from opponents who just can't seem to accept losing a game.
One guy deliberately waves his hands and shakes his cue stick violently to get my attention and distract me.
Another one will ask me questions as I'm lining up to shoot and even when I'm down on the shot.
 
As I finally experienced today... 10 foot tables.


Holy sh....

Not sure if even worth it lol
 
Focus is my problem. I have a hard time not thinking about issues in my life while I play and I dog shots. When my head is clear I tend to get out.

one thing ive learned is that u dont always have too break hard
 
I used to think it was banks, until I got John Brumback's DVD.

Then I thought it was kicks, until I watched Tor Lowry's video.

Now... jump shots?
