Final practices

Posted at 4:31 AM, September 4, 2008 to Online pool

So I went to a couple pool halls since the weekend to finalize my practice for the Comet Classic. The first place I went to had tight pockets and the cloth didn’t take draw too well at all. It was difficult, but it also made me realize that my shot choices are also going to be based on the table conditions. Some shots I thought I had down before needed some big adjustments. Tonight, I went to a local pool hall and had a better time of it. I ran through the shots I think I’ll shoot at the Comet. I was feeling pretty good until midway through the draw discipline when things kind of fell apart. And I didn’t even get to practice the jump discipline. I wasn’t planning on practicing masse’s either. But I did get some final notes down for a couple shots. Hopefully they’ll serve me well this weekend!

I’ll see if I can blog from the Comet, but I can’t promise anything. It’ll be tough with big names like Andy Segal, Bruce Barthelette, and Nick Nikolaidis showing up.
