Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Yesterday I practiced at the CBC for about an hour. Ok, “practiced” may not be the operative word…more like “hacked.” Fairly early on I started missing shots that I would normally make in my sleep. At one point I noticed my bridge was loose, so I firmed it up. I then noticed I was not setting up the bridge to hit center ball correctly, so I moved my bridge hand over a little. Then I noticed I wasn’t in line with the shot, so I stood up, repositioned, and got into my stance again. Later on I realized I was poking at the ball, not stroking. After a few more misses, I realized I was rushing between shots. Then I finally started noticing that my cue tip was landing a couple inches off to the right at the end of every shot. Argghhh! Argghhh! AAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!! Just one of those days when your head is not in the game.
