Intensity
I'm gonna get too the table today,and I can't wait.I'M dying to play!It feels like I have not played in weak,but it's only been 3 days.Man time off sucks!Time off will re-ignite lost passion,but I don't need that,I have plenty of passion for the game.Time off is also a good thing when you are learning new things,it gives you time too think about it.But for me I'm not really learning anything new just yet.I'm still trying to knock rust off of my game and reach a comfortable zone in my game.I still don't feel absolutely comfortable at the table,and that's only going to change with time!I also have not stopped guessing where the pocket really is,meaning where to hit the ball on a lot of shots.This is all rust,rust on a game I used too play pretty well.I used too see about 5-6 different tiny little spots on the OB(object ball)all different spots in the pocket I could place the ball to gain position on the next shot.I've been trying real hard to get that back,but I'm beginning to think it may never come back like that again for me.I've had a few sessions where I couldn't miss,I just knew where the pocket was and it felt great.So that's a lot of progress from when I was just getting down on shots with NO clue where too aim!Seriously,I had absolutely NO idea of what to look at,I would just say too myself;Make sure you look good shooting the shot.That's something I learned from The Monk,I'll tell you more about him at a later date.So I'm not totally satisfied with my progress,but there has been progress none the less.I guess we all want what we want when we want it,and if you approach this game with that attitude,you'll go nowhere!This game is way to hard,to get instant results! I'm going to Diamond Jim's today,and I'm looking for the toughest game I can find,I don't care who it is,or if I get drilled.I just want too have too step up,I'm not sure if I can or if it's even good for my game!But I'm looking to create a ton of intensity in my PSR(pre shot routine)so that's my goal for today,win or lose!STRETCH
