WANNA “PICK UP YOUR SKILL LEVEL” IN POOL?

Then Drop Your EGO!!

Your EGO misses more shots than your Stroke,

In high-stakes pool, there aren’t as many turnovers or times at the table as there may be at your favorite pool hall or your local amateur tournaments. Therefore, you first Must think carefully prior to every shot taken, as one miss may very well send you rackin’ up your Cue and heading for your Lazy boy Recliner.

So, it’s vital to “Keep it Real.” You must Know your true limitations.

How do I do this if I don’t try the difficult shots?

But, when my hard-earned money is on the line, you better believe I know my limitations, and you best believe that after a few games with you, I’ll be picked up on a few of yours (Student of the Game!) and you will get those “ difficult for you shots” much more often than not. Make a mental note, hell, even write it down, those shots you miss and continue to struggle to make.

Get with another Good player and have them help you set up these shots. (A partner may pick up on Why you’re missing faster than you by watching you shoot.)

Remember, it’s the shots we fear that cause us to “Flinch” or “Jump up.” Don’t just shoot those shots until you can make them. Shoot those shots till you don’t miss them any longer.!!

I practice a shot until I can make it Five times in a row, then as I progress, I’ll set it up and shoot it till I make it 10 times in a row, and if I miss, I start back over from the beginning.

Keep your EGO on a firm leash and know Your limitations, and I promise you, Your Skill level Shall Rise!!

Happy Shootin’!!
