    My pool captain made us do drills to perfect the slide when we first started as a team. It really does improve accuracy!

    I thought I was hitting the ball just fine. Once I took a striped out I was shock that at the moment of impact it spun in all sorts of directions! No wonder I was struggling. So I started using draw and I could get slide with draw. Forward roll follow I don't have a problem with actually I prefer to play top if I can on a accurate shot because I shoot quite straight with follow.

    I have a cue ball with all the dots on it now so once I push through the cue I won't even look at the object ball. If I've walked the table, eyes my shot, got in position and stroked through, then I don't need to look at the result. I keep my focus on the cue ball. I still look at it as it's hit. If I see it slide up the table I can safely close my eyes and know I nailed the shot actually most times I'm not concerned where object ball is going because I make it so that, I'm going to sink it. It's where the white ball goes.

    I was caught out once where I tried to use I think it was really probably the farthest right and farthest down I could hit the cue ball without miscue. And I smacked into a red and I just watched my cue ball move and the guy said to me "you had absolutely no interest where that red was going did you?" And I said "nope, not one bit" :D

    It's like I've made it a rule where if I really eye a shot then it's going in. If it misses then I've no interest where it ends up, I would have slammed it so hard I couldn't even tell you where it might end up but the cue ball even on a missed shot, I can see more clearly where it will be. Slightly left or right pending on how I missed the shot. =p

    The only training I got in my team was "don't do this and you should do that". That being "oh just, double this across the table and the white will be here" and I'm like IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Lol. I can see what to do, but if I can't do it then I need to get onto that ball a different way.

    I hate doubling balls across. :D I'm getting a lot better though. Lol.

    Whereas I use to make my first appearance on pool table and sink as much as I could, now I understand that I'm going to get at least two visits. My first plan of attack is to get my "dead" balls off those rails and on the green more. :)

    I cannot wait for winter season in 2 weeks. I'm putting an enormous amount of pressure on myself, but I know I've gotten a lot better these few months, and I want to get over 50% frame wins.

    I've been under 50 but over 40 in my last season.

    I still have to design my bind runes and study farther but I can say this with great pride, I was/am exactly right in doing what I am doing, or what I set out to accomplish. Down to the tee? Wire? Anyway, I was spot on. :)

    Also this be the longest right up until I post this that I've been weed sober for a while now. Lol. I sparked 24hrs ago exactly. :D

    It's my new "cut the fuck back" gameplan. Probably won't last too long and wont happen when the season comes again but I'm in conservation mode right now. :D

    My favorite shots are into the middle pockets. Not bragging but when I'm in the zone I'll cut a ball into the middle on an angle you'd never think would work. Everyone will double a ball into the middle and I'll find a way to cut it into the pocket on an impossible angle. :D

    Mhmm. It's odd isn't it. You keyword a title and get 20 threads that have nothing to do with anything you searched for.

    I always have search for cooking thread and every time in my search results it's at the bottom of the page. =\

    I'm very annoyed at one of my favorite bands.

    I won't go into it all :D but Psy Records intend to March on Washington for Juggalos. To protest the FBI associating Juggalos as a criminal gang.

    I can't believe Twiztid have declined the invitation. I don't live in the US, but as a Juggalo, I've supported by means of my own $€$ and you know, right now there's beef between two record labels that dish out our underground scene. They need to learn that this isn't about the beef. It's about Juggalos! We made y'all rich now you gotta get out their and support US for once! This isn't about the music or who's on who's label. It's about the "family". If we are to get arrested for wearing their merchandise then they need to march with the rest.

    It's utterly disappointing. I'm glad I never got any Juggalo tattoos. :D
