In my last two tournaments I played like a beginner. When I practice I hit the balls about 10 times better than I have lately when I've been in action (which is only 4 tournaments a year with no other competition within 50 miles of me.)
Anyone who knew my game would have to have thought I was dumping, but as RA used to say, "Don't you know that dumpin' and doggin' it look the same"?
At DCC I got a relatively favorable draw in the first round -- a guy that would definitely handle me in 9-ball but whose 1P experience is obviously limited -- and lost 3-0, getting to 7 balls in only one of the games.
If it's not stroke -- it's not -- and it's not eyesight -- it's not -- what's left? Uh, I'm afraid I know -- although it's hard to admit -- and I'm trying to figure out what to do about it.
