    I find myself quite often following your advice, which is to just miss shots and let your opponent handle things for you. It's really the easiest advice to follow...

    Hey Josh That was nice Shooting.
    Here are a couple shots to try they will help with cutting the ball and shooting into the so called blind pocket.
    This shot is to get you used to cutting paper thin cut shots.
    The odds of this coming up in a match is very low but the point of this exercise is to take away the fear of cutting thin shots and to help you know if you are going to scratch on the shot.
    1 place the object ball on the foot spot or head spot usually where the sticker is at on the table or where the apex ball is place.
    Now take the cue ball and place it in one of the corner pockets (it doesn't have to be all the way in the corner pocket) that is below where the object ball is placed.
    Now you want to cut the object ball in the top corner on the same side where the cue ball is placed not the same pocket where the cue ball is placed.
    This is not a scratch shot. tip just use center ball no side spin. yes you do have to hit firm but not as hard as you think.
    you can actually overcut this shot that it will hit the long rail before hits the corner pocket.
    2 This will help with blind pocket shot.
    Get a box that you can place on the pool table that's big enough to block your site of the pocket that you want to shoot in now set up a few cut shots into that corner pocket.
    where you can only see the object ball. you can look to get your aiming point and contact point but when you are down on the shot you shouldn't be able to see the pocket at all. Now it's all up to trusting your aiming point after awhile you be able to make these no problem.
    If you are wondering if I actually did this. Yes I did but it wasn't a box it was a laundry basket and sometimes folded clothes that were on the pool table.
    Trust me this help my game a lot I never worried about where the blind pocket was I just trusted my aiming point.
    3 Tip If you have position don't play for position. Yes I know there exceptions to this but when you play to try to get better position it doesn't always work out.
    I remember when I played for a 9 ball qualifier I played against 5 people a 6 a couple 5's and a 4 and a 3.
    Between the 5 of them their ball count was less than 25 point's.
    The League operator was watching my match he told me after it was over that I had 11 break and runs.

    Like your commentary man. I missed so many shots thinking about the one after. The other point you made you about watching someone run a couple racks on you. It tightens everyone up unless you’re a professional player. I used to play BCA 8 ball for a few sessions. The one thing I liked about BCA was if you made a ball on the break you had your choice of what to shoot.

      @@Amateur_Pool The other thing I realized, when you mentioned your opponent being a rhythm player. That hit close to home. I never recognized that about myself. It always takes me a few rounds to find that rhythm and then I usually play better. Usually when I watch my homie run the table I get frustrated and can’t even focus on the follow through to the next shot and then I’m scrambling. Cheers man!

    Honestly. The first person who try’s to run out in bar box 8 ball loses almost 70 percent of the time. So that’s not bad advice.

    If there was a black striped ball, it'd be the 16 ball. subtract 8 fRom Little Timmy's striper ball and the solid's the same color, Peppermint Pappy.

      That's hard to answer. Been playing a total of 23yrs but, with a 10 year break in the middle. About 1.5 years ago, i started devoting practice time, daily. Since then, my game has come up a lot. I currently practice several hours per day.
