Tell the forum about your strengths and weaknesses.
Weaknesses:
Shots wherein the cue ball is somewhere near the center of the table and the object ball is outside the 1st diamond of a corner pocket. I'm a horrible combonation player. TERRIBLE! I tend to get too fancy with the cue ball from time to time. My fanciness with the cue ball causes me to miscue more than your average player. Strengths: Long and straight in. Shots that require lots of spin Utilizing the table. i.e. going 3 or 4 rails to get better shape if possible. Stroke speed. Consistency. Your turn. |

Weaknesses:
1. Jumping, I simply can't do it. I'd rather masse or even do a 3 rail kick before I try a jump. 2. Maintaining focus. Shoot like a God for 3 games and then dog simple shots. Strengths: Sorry, I don't list strengths. Once you feel you're strong at something, you no longer try to improve on it and there's always room for improvement. |

Strengths:
Masse shots. Spin, semi masse, curve type shots. Use of Inside english. Jump shots, pendulem and dart style. Kick shots. Patterns. Percentages. Banks. Break - 8,9 and 1P. Safety play. Weaknesses: Distractions. Getting sharked. phone calls when I'm playing. Not getting back up and stepping back into the shot when I'm already down and it does not feel correct. Getting on the wrong side of the next ball by a few inches and having to let the cue ball go to try and get back in line. |

Weaknesses:
Combos - unless it is a hanger it is tough for me Consistency - being able to play well all night and not just a match or two Tough angle side pocket shots - I hit the tit so often grrrrrrrrrr (the only time a tit is not a good thing) 2 rail kicks Strenghts: Break Jumping 1 rail kicks 3 rail kicks Banks My ability to block out all that is around me while at the table I consider these my strenghts and weaknesses but I still practice ALL of them as often as I can.

Same deal here. I use my phone for business so it rings incessantly. Although I do have a funny story about a personal phone call. I'm at the hall and I'm in a particular pool playing mood on this night. I'm totally focused, playing very well, and feeling great about my game. My opponent is at the table and I'm 10,000% zoned in on what the table is doing. *RING RING* It's the girlfriend. Me: Hi honey, what's up? Her: Nothing, what are you up to? Me: At the pool hall. Her: Blah, blah, blah. Me: Uh huh. (I'm not even paying attention because my mind is on the game.) Her: Adam? Adam? ADAM? Me: Sorry, what was that? Her: Did you pick up my hairspray or what? Me: Honey, can we possibly discuss this later? I'm dead in the middle of a match and I can't really focus on hairspray at this very second. Needless to say, I got berated by the guys at the hall for being whipped. Anyhow, my point is that I totally get the whole phone thing. Although, if you don't have a bluetooth headset, get one for pool playing purposes alone. If you MUST be on the phone, it's a lifesaver. Last edited by jeffduke : January 7th, 2007 at 12:31 AM.
