hey! didn't really know where to put this so i put it here...lol
just wondering how everyone's getting on at the moment as i've been away for ages and i guess hardly anyone remembers me...lol
how's Larry doing at the moment after his injuries? i have to say thanks to him again for that Stealth cue - it's absolutely awesome! it breaks great, and is even real good for jump shots!

[FASTLARRY]

The answer to that is in the above come back thread.

[gian323]

i remeber seeing you. You won that stealth cue in that contest.

I remeber seeing you on previous threads as i read back. And who could ever forget that crazy avatar?

[Gazz]

lol! yeah - my Beavis avatar! - i'll take a look at some other threads and find out what's goin' on around here...

[FASTLARRY]

I have a huge collection of these.

[Gazz]

hey - i just read through the thread (your diary) and found out what's going on...you certainly are going through it all...i really hope you make a fast and complete recovery as soon as possible and then can go back to the pro tour and kick some ass!

[FASTLARRY]

Thanks for the well wishes, that was nice of you.

[Gazz]

Hi Gazz, good to see you again.

I've not been on here too much lately either, though hopefully I'll be back into it all soon.

[FASTLARRY]

Glad to see you back, I have missed you. FL

[Gazz]

hey! how's it goin' Pin? haven't spoken to you for ages! how's your county matches going? are you a total run-out monster yet?

[FASTLARRY]

Home for the holidays, how nice.

[Pin]

The transformation into run-out monster has been stalled a little, finishing at uni and trying to get into good employment.

But it's amazing how quickly you can pick it up again. I spent a few days back home with my family a week ago, and met up with some of the guys from my old pool team back there. One of the guys is phenomenal. He's a really consistent finisher and a very strong tactical player.

He always brings the best out of me, because he forces me to play tactically, never take on any low percentage shots that would leave him a finish, and concentrate on my whole game.

Even using my old cue (which I keep back at my family home - my usual one-piece makes train journeys a little difficult), I got back into the game quickly, the mental control came to me easily (thanks Fast!), and I was competetive, taking frames from him, as always.

It's a great feeling to know that although a forced lay-off can take you a little out of stroke and bring the edge off your game, the core skills remain, and you can get up to a decent standard pretty quickly.

I remember reading that if you exercise regularly, consistently, for 6 months you'll stay with it forever, since your body becomes physically addicted to the feel good chemicals exercise releases. So even if you do leave regualr exercise for a short while, you'll always be drawn back to it.

Perhaps it's like that with pool - it becomes almost hard-wired into the brain.




Fast, I've missed you too!
I know I've been a little on and off here since I had to step up work on my uni project a few months ago, but it feels a long time even since we were talking green tea.
I'm still on my four cups a day, by the way :-)
Trying to make room for a little red wine too :-D

Hopefully I'll get into full work soon, and back on the rails, so to speak, with the pool.

One thing I have identified for work is my position. I realised that while I've worked occasionally on position specifically in drills, it's usually been in the context of running balls. Even when I worked on the L-drill and taking out balls lined up in front of the middle pocket in sequence, to be honest I didn't have the right attitude to setting tight targets. They just felt like hard drills, where I'd try for perfect position, but wasn't really pro-active enough in forcing myself to learn and improve.

Ah well. In these last few months I feel I've learned more about life than in many years.

You have to have a happy life in control to ever have a successful pool game. Earls pool game is falling apart because his life is as well.

Here is where, we all can post our Xmas news letter, mine is simple, I am right now enjoying perfect heath, I am semi happy, getting laid now and then, eat all the steak I want to, drinking blue label, all my pool is comped, what else is there in life. And I hang out at the hottest discos and do my famous boo ga loo...Get down, get down, bay booose...Oh yeah.
