Best way to keep focus in pool (billiards) match?
In my pool (billiards) league I can often run 4-5 maybe even 6 balls. But I tend to lose my focus as I get closer to the 8ball. I have tried slowing my pace and even not thinking of my leave. I have even tried to focus on ONLY my current shot and yet I still seem to lose focus. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can maintain my focus?
Having a pre-shot routine is essential to consistency and confidence at the pool table. Going through the same ritual on each shot will get you into good habits. That being said, you need to make a distinction between the time that you are thinking, planning, aiming, etc., and the time spent in the shooting position. By the time you are down on the shot, you should have settled on what you will be doing. If you find yourself second guessing your aim or your shot selection, you need to get out of the shooting position and start your routine all over again. If you were never really confident in your choice and you shoot anyway, you've already increased your chance of failure by 50%. 8-ball is a unique game in that running out becomes more difficult with each ball that you pocket. Any good shooter can walk up to the table, break and run 6-7 balls, but that doesn't win games. My guys here know what they're talking about when they talk 8-ball strategy. Your options become limited and defensive play becomes more difficult with each ball that you pocket. I'm not sure that focus is your problem. It might just be a matter of shot selection and strategy. Best of luck. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
