    Your channel is 40% personality, 50% pool game and 10% promotion (the game and you) . Good combination, produced by your personality. That is what make your product unique. You are staying on track. It’s called entertainment. Well done….as always.

    Slug racked, rack 10. You can zoom in and even see the gap between the 6 and 9 ball. You really need to look at the racks in these tournaments to avoid being slugged. Probably not intentional, but, never trust the rack. Albeit, we are amateurs and mostly honest players, equipment conditions require diligent racking.

    It’s easy to play poorly (stroke not feeling good) if your decision-making is off. I think, that’s where you struggled mostly. Lots of odd decisions that made your shot more difficult than necessary. But you maintained a good level of sportsmanship and demeanor in the face of a poor match. Good on you!

    @jamesdavis8731 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Josh, a couple of comments here:
    1. I have watched a lot of your matches - a lot. I just got done the other day watching your APA Championship match. I also just watched this video. I can tell you FOR SURE, without a doubt, the reason you seem to miss so many easy shots (and you do) is alignment.
    Your stroke is fine for the most part - a little quick, but fine. You are simply not aligning up correctly with your eyes and/or your body. You need to really work on that.
    There are just far too many missed shots in many of your matches, which does NOT allow you to play the position and game you know how to play. And so many times the shots are simple shots, especially on that size of table.
    2. I don't know if the guy purposely racked poorly. It is hard to say for sure, and hard to say a player is guilty of that, but I think you know that shit does happen.
    I had it had so many times when I played in the Philippines it became comical. If a guy/gal thinks they are facing a better shooter they will rack bad to muddy the game up. Yes, that rack was very suspicious.
    And finally, one reason why I think it might be your eye alignment is that you hold your head a bit funny when down on the shot. It seems as though your eye alignment is not in unison with your body alignment.
    You need to really get that fixed. This was not the only match where you missed a lot of fairly easy shots. You should have run this guy over. This guy is not a good shooter and didn't understand basic position play.
    I look forward to the next video. Fun to watch.

    • @Amateur_Pool
      @Amateur_Pool  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks for the insight! I'll definitely play with my alignment and see if i can work out out

    • @wdiddy1
      @wdiddy1 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I agree that alignment may be off and Josh seems to not follow a pre shot routine consistently. Any shot you take for granted is a shot where the miss percentage increases. Josh played well below what I've seen him shoot in practice games but maybe the nerves get to him.

    • @supitsthugnasty
      @supitsthugnasty Před 8 měsíci +1

      I've commented this on one of your videos before Josh but I'll say it again - consider reducing the amount of prestrokes and really focusing in before the final stroke, along with reducing your bridge length. You miss a lot of shots because you're probably not hitting the cue ball exactly where you think you're hitting it. You actually do slow down on some of your shots and it clearly helps, but seems like you speed up when you're in a roll and then end up getting a bit sloppy
      Slow everything down and you'll regain some accuracy

    • @jamesdavis8731
      @jamesdavis8731 Před 8 měsíci

      @@supitsthugnasty ya, I am a big believer in shortening the bridge length if a player is consistently missing fairly routine shots AFTER fixing their alignment.
      Once I shortened my bridge length I am able to hit the cue ball much more consistently where I plan to hit it.
      Alignment also seems to be an issue.
      I really believe Josh could be a very good player, but the amount of missed shots in close to every match I have seen him play is a huge issue and should not be happening with a player of his experience.
