    For me the main reason I miss shots is because I have a hard time clearing my head. If its just a practice game I don't really care so I shoot great. But as soon as its in a tournament or in league I psych myself out.

    • @pessimisticpuma
      @pessimisticpuma Před 3 lety +59

      Hi Wes, after I got out of the military, I suffered from issues with anxiety that affected me in my matches. Performance anxiety can make it really hard to play as well as you know you can. It affects you physically and psychologically.
      Even if you’ve made a shot a thousand times, stress will make your muscles tighten involuntarily, impairing fine motor skill and making you miss shots more easily. Mentally, you might forget shot posture fundamentals like staying down after a shot, what English to use to play position, deciding your run out, or planning good defensive shots.
      To neutralize these effects, try taking 3-4 slow, deep breaths as part of your pre-shot routine. It regulates your heart rate and controls the production of stress hormone in your body which causes that jitteriness.
      Ignore any thoughts of missing your shot. Don’t even acknowledge them. Visualize the cue ball hitting the object ball and rolling it into the pocket. If you can keep a positive mental outlook and avoid thoughts that stress you out more, you’ll control the negative effects of adrenaline and cortisol on the body. You’ll improve focus and find yourself playing more consistent, successful matches.
      I hope this is helpful.

    This is simplistic .Simply priceless!. De clutter your head, repeat your stroke, and do it under pressure. How ? Line up straight then push the cue stick straight to and through the cue ball and continue pushing the cue straight down the line . That's all you need to think about. Under pressure ,invaluable . Simple . Loved it Sharivari

    For me, another cause of missed shots has to do with unintentionally moving my head slightly to the right or left as I go down on the shot. Depending on the body/shot position, I have found that I can get off my alignment between the head/cue/shot and this can affect how I see the ball. This is especially true for people like me who have one eye that is dominant and the other that is weak.

      I'm still working on it! I have a very weak left eye, and I've noticed that when I am cutting the object ball to the left I need to move my head a bit to the left relative to the cue. When cutting to the right, I move a bit to the right. So far, that seems to be helping me.

Great video as always! Still hoping that I will have a table of my own. God Speed!

  • @ericlee453
    @ericlee453 Před 3 lety

    To compliment your point on not hitting straight/stroke- another reason may be because of shot timing and backstroke/pause. I had issues with this in my earlier days but grew more cognizant of it after some friendly advice. It lends to better your consistency and to keep in mind to "never rush your shot." If your stroke is straight and you can shoot with good spin, I challenge people to try experimenting one-stroking (just for a little bit); it will give you great insight on your timing, rhythm, and pacing.

    I think one of the key factors for missing shots also is that you try to hold the cue ball too much or try to place it where it can’t go if you make the object ball. Understanding the travel and speed is so important and makes your game super strong after you understand that in total.
    Looking the object ball or cue ball for last is a preference that you have to choose from. No right or wrong with that. John Higgins always watch the cue ball last and absolutely crushed everyone last week😄 He is just one of many examples👌🏻

  • @jaroslavcech225
    @jaroslavcech225 Před 3 lety +1

    Looking at the OB upon striking the CB is the constantly repeated mantra...I have heard many people comparing it to when you're throwing something (like you say darts or a stone), but this comparison is not really logical, as with the darts/stone you don't need to look at it because you're already holding it in your hand, whereas in pool you must strike the CB in the exact planned spot with a narrow end of the cue, so I'd say it just doesn't make too much sense comparing these things. Anyway, even a lot of top pros (pool or snooker included) will tell you to do whatever feels comfortable. It definitely cannot be said that one or the other is better. Like in my case, at the beginning I started with focusing on the CB, than as I got better I moved to what everyone was saying - 'look at the OB', but when I had gone back to watching the CB on most shots, it made a big difference in my potting success. So I would just say do whatever feels natural and good for you. ;)

    I was tought to take a bottle (soda/beer). Lay the bottle on its side and smoothly stroke the tip of the stick in and out the mouth of the bottle.
    Create a "chew chew" train arm. From elbow through hand (think the arm on a locomotive that connects to the wheel), base your legs, lean on table, whatever creates a solid base. When stroking the stick into the bottle. Nothing moves on your body except your elbow.
