You need to run eight balls to run out in a game of eight ball. How hard can it be to give each shot your complete attention? When you come down to the cue ball, i call this your landing. You need to land on your target. You cannot make an adjustment once you land on the cue ball. An airplane cannot change courses once the wheels touch the ground. Practice your landing over and over until this part of your pre shot routine becomes automatic.

 

 

 

WORDS OF WISDOM

 

 

When the shots shoot themselves, and you are just the servant moving the cue you have become the master.

If you are lazy in practise, you will be lazy in the contest. Practise with sincerity of heart.

Move through each level of skill development with the clear knowledge that you have no limits.

I accept the things I have no control over.

Be comfortable with the results, no matter what they are.

Be relaxed on every shot.

Be deliberate on all break shots.

Be focused on all draw shots.

Do not be preoccupied with results.

Glide your cue through the cue ball as if it was not there.

Your eyes should be perfectly aligned to the shot.

Never shoot until you are ready.

See the spot on the object ball and deliver the winning stroke.

Shoot each shot with 100% conviction.

Have a perfect follow through on each shot.

Stay down to watch the object ball disappear into the pocket.

Do not get ahead of yourself.

Shoot one shot at a time.

Enjoy your performance and be apart of each shot.

Be free from expectations.

Be free to shoot each shot.

Do not let anything interfere with your performance.

Make no judgement on your performance. It is as it is, and you should fully accept it.

Always show good sportsmanship.

Make your decision, lean into the stance, sight down the shaft and deliver the stroke.

You have unlimited ability to grow in this sport.
