What part of your game do you wish to improve the most.

What part of your game is the weakest?

For me I consider my break a real liability. I have good power but even when I slow it down I still can't find consistancy with it. I fly off the table about one out of every 5-6 racks. I'm willing to bet that if I got even just a little bit better on my break that I'd have a lot higher percentage of break and run outs.

The weakest part of my game that I can't blame on any physical liabilities would be my kicking game. It seems that whenever I get hooked and have to kick at a ball, I almost always miss it by a hair ( I hit one every once in awhile ). The resulting ball-in-hand I often give my opponent almost always comes back to haunt me. I'm gonna have to get some kind of instructions on this someday, be it a book, video, or a real-life instructor.

The weakist part of my game.Well that has to be jumping a ball and making it.I can jump the ball and hit it almost every time,but to make it I have to be very lucky.I am very good at kicking so I kick most of the time.I had to learn how to kick when I started playing I could not play very good shape.I played bank pool alot so I could learn how to bank and kick.I then spent the money on some lessons.That was the best thing I ever spent money on.I bought a lot of tapes and watched them all the time, but for me the lessons were the ticket.I plan to take some more as soon as I can.I work very hard on every part of my game.When I see that I am having a hard time with some thing I work and work on it till it seems easy.I have always been the type of player who praticed well.

I think you might just need to take your time.It sounds like you are not hitting the balls full.That was a problem for me.Now I am not worried about how hard I hit them but that I hit whear I aim with a level stroke.I hope that will help you out.

That or too much beer .

I've have some consistant mean breaks that jump once on the table and then bounce off so I know I'm either hitting too high or too low. I'd say a combination of both cueball accuracy and rack accuracy. I really should just practice them more.
