I was able to get out and play some one pocket this weekend, it felt great!
Broke even yesterday playing one of my buddies and jtompilot - again, always good fun Jim! Today, however I lose getting 9/7 from someone I had not played before and I had chances but gave it away.
I know this has been discussed here before but I don't think anything makes me more frustrated than those momentary losses of concentration / focus.
Short set racing to 3, first game he needs 1 and I need 2. He scratches we both need 2. I have a ball I can shoot straight in and play shape on the spotted ball for the game. I hit the first ball perfect get within 18 inches of the spotted ball almost straight in. I get down, stroke a few times and shoot the ball straight into the tit, it rattles and comes out. I don't understand how I can miss those shots, they are so routine but for some reason I did. He ends up winning the game and it was downhill from there.
Danny Smith was in town playing one of our local shortstops some bank pool and when they finished today I was going to try and play him some one pocket for the experience but he was up all night and wanted to leave and plus for some reason, he only wants to play banks. Guess he is burnt out on 1p, who knows, he plays it awful damn good to not play it lol.
If he would have agreed to play me a little, I have no idea what sort of spot to even ask for. I don't think he would let me go to 4 but who knows. Maybe 15/5 or so? What would you guys take from him?
Either way, it was good to get out and hit some balls. I ran balls a little better this weekend which is strange since I haven't played in 2-3 weeks.Gotta get in stoke for chicago!
