Scores

Scores for the day race too nine; 9-5,9-2,9-7,9-7.I won them all! It sounds better than it really was though.I played OK by my standards,not real good,not real bad either.I won and I should be satisfied for the day but I'm not!I wasn't able too achieve the intensity I was looking for,and I know why.I got there early,and started my warm up with a TON of intensity,and kept it up for about an hour.But I was looking for a game!By the time I got too Diamond Jim's I was so amped and itching to play I needed a game right then and there.But I did not get a game for almost 2 hours!What I think happened was putting that much intensity into a warm up might not be a good idea if you plan on playing immediately after with no real break.By the time I did get a game,I think I was a little burnt out.I know that I'm going to have to give this intensity thing time to build,it doesn't just show up,it's a learned thing.I had to wait for a game today,everybody already had games.

Jersey Ken showed up late and I asked him to play but he declined.Why he said no I'm not real sure but I think he took a few days off from the game,and didn't want any action.Not a big deal.I would have been firing empty anyhow,so it was probably for the best.Big Scott was on his way but he was real late,so I had my game coming. Big Scott finally got there a little after 2:00,witch meant I had already put in 2 hours of an intense work out that is called "Piling Rocks".I like this workout because of it's simplicity,it's a concentration,and PSR(pre-shot routine)workout,very simple,but if done correctly it produces results.I got this workout from "The Monk" one of the premier pool instructors in the world.It's so simple and very effective,I do it every day I play!All you do is take all 15 balls spread them out on the table,and take any shot that you want,sounds simple huh?Well this game is simple,but it's never that easy!During this time at the table you need too;clear your mind of all things except pocketing that ball,until it becomes automatic and you DON"T Remember doing it.Not easy,simple but not easy!Your also supposed too be working on your PSR too automate it,once again too the point of not remembering,your also supposed to be feeling and hearing the game,feeling the stroke and resonator through the cue,and hearing that awesome sound your cue makes when your really putting a stroke on the ball,when your cue doesn't do this your not stroking the ball!So nothing about this game is ever easy it's only simple.That's a lot of stuff too think about,and your not supposed too,it's supposed to be automatic,too the point of not remembering,that's the trick.Try it out and you'll see what a task it really is.The ultimate goal of this exercise is DEAD STROKE.When your truly in dead stroke you don't remember a thing.

So Big Scott was my game for the day,and I always get a tough match from him,we play pretty close too even.I give Big Scott a slight edge when he's in stroke.But I think he was still asleep for the first 2 sets.He really did not come too life till the 3rd set.The last 2 sets where real nail bitters,could have gone either way at any moment.We placed a little action on the last set,and I feel both of us really got down on shots.That's why I say it sounded better than it really was for a session. I'm going back again today and I'm looking too play Jersey Ken,that's the game I want!It's very competitive and I think I'm supposed to win,although I lost the last time we played.So wish me luck,please.STRETCH
