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.

It may be the rack. Try checking the rack carefully, or use the magic rack.
 
Lately I've been having trouble judging angles. It doesn't really make me miss too many more balls than normal, but it taxes my stamina because I have to focus a lot even on easier shots. Its mostly because I only play 1 single elimination tournament a week with no practice in between. If I start to play more often like I used to, hopefully I will be able to see cuts more naturally again.
 
I take easy shots for granted and get bad position to end my runs. Always a shot i am expected to make.. i know what my problem is. I am retarded.
 
I voted other.

Playing jacked up either to try to draw back with the CB close to the rail or an object ball right behind the cb
 
How many can I choose??? I see six or seven choices that I need to start with right out of the gate :o!!!
You can choose as many as you like. :thumbup:


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.
Why do you even play these people? :confused:
 
my break sucks, and if i dont have enuff bet i lose concentration. those are the 2 big problems

when i'm not playing often my alignment suffers and takes a while to get that right, if i'm playing 5-6 days a week then its ok.
 
Not being able to send Whitey from A to the point where Whitey need to be send^^

Usually always the same problem :-)
 
I voted "other" because the weakest part is i lost my drive to play i used to love it played all the time but that has fell by the wayside for some reason.
 
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. :)

Maybe someone else said this but I don't see a pressure choice other than the last ball.
 
The mental game,focus(or lack there of) and positive attitude. I need to let consecutive bad rolls go,instead of letting them get to me.

The use your brain part - selling out trying a too tough shot when there's an easy safety.
 
I would put down the hot babes with hot bodies, but that would just be wishfull thinking. Not enough of these where I play. :-(
