The next time you are playing really well and your game is on fire, do youself a favor. When everyone is done playing, before you put your cue up, take a ball, anyone will do, even the cue ball, set it on the table and think about your stance, how good it felt tonight, your stroke, how smoothe it was tonight, then fire that ball straight into a pocket, and remember that sound the ball made when it hit the back of that pocket. Then the next time you go to play, before you start, set a ball on the table and think about how good your stance feels, think about how smoothe your stroke feels and then fire that ball straight into the pocket and listen to the sound it makes when it hits the back of that pocket. I bet you will be suprised how quick everything comes back to you.

In the lesson larry teaches every time you do a new thing perfect, he makes you stop and sit down to just soak in and absorb the feeling of it. He says thats more important than actually doing it.

Strokes come and go. I don't think non pros stay in stroke every day. Take off for a couple of days and it's long gone.

I really like this idea.

It makes a lot of sense to me.

I'll do my best to remember to do this.

I do it all the time. You are probably right, for long periods of time it probably wouldn't work. It may not work for everyone, but I play in a league here and it seems to work for me. Give it a shot, see what happens.
