>PS 2. I wouldn't mind if no one had the last few charts Sounds like you may be going through post tourney blues. A lil advice.. If you haven't been playing as well as you usually do since World's..don't stress too much about it because that is totally common. Anyone you ask who goes to big tournaments and has a pretty good tournament (read places well) will almost always feel like they are sucking upon returning to the local watering shed. I think it has something to do with expectations one places on ones self. Your level of play and/or expectations has been raised because of your positive experience, therefore you expect to play like that all the time. The difference?? The conditions are not even remotely comparable. So because your expectations have been raised, but the conditions are not condusive to raising your level of play..you end up being disappointed in your level of play because you are expecting more from yourself...because of course you have just seen or experienced it. Anyhow..just like the rain...this too shall pass. So go easy on yourself because the more pressure you put on yourself, the longer it will take to pass. Just accept it as part of the learning curve and try to learn as much as you can from it.  Moya |

"but the conditions are not condusive to raising your level of play" Really? What conditions are those...per say?  |

Superspoof says, >but the conditions are not condusive to raising your level of play Ha Ha! I was not meaning table conditions. From what I've heard..the tables at home are better than the tables they had there. I was talking about the hype of being at a big tournament. The fact that you have to play a lot consecutively, you don't know the players that you're playing so you generally come out swinging and the skill level is generally overall higher, therefore your own level of play generally raises. Lots of conditions are different at a big tournament than when you play at home... ...but I get what you're getting at. I don't have much to do with all that anymore, so you can leave me out of it. Was just trying to help with some advice from someone who's been through it A LOT!! Moya |

The tables there are pretty good. Just different. |

Thanks Moya, I have a question though. I have come back and have been trying a new Gummeson Tony Billy stick series (a combination of all 3.) Should I forget this and stick to my brush pass and just make that even more consistent or just keep pluckn away at the new stuff till it gets good? |

While I have you Moya, What advice do you have for my hard stick lane pass like you do it?!!  I can't catch it all the time...and it's making me sad  |

Well Dave, in my opinion, you should have both series or at least a combination of the two in your artillery. Some people are better at blocking a brush series (like me) and some are better at blocking a stick series. I do a combination because I can't do a brush up, (tried for forever and just can't do it) but all of my passes have passes that compliment eachother and so it should be. As the match progresses I can tell which they are better at blocking and then adjust so I have the advantage towards the end of the match. I think the stick series is a harder series to master because it can become tougher to catch the lane as the pressure mounts. You have to make sure that either your man is high enough that it's not going to bounce back or absorb the pass, which typically requires you to not be tense. Having confidence in the pass is huge and one of the reasons I believe it is a harder pass to do proficiently. I would have to know what is happening when you try to catch your pass and what kind of lead off are you doing (ie..tic tac or stationary) to know what to tell you to try and fix it. Moya |

Well when the hek are you gonna pay us a visit...Blesss us with your presence...enlighten us rookies with a pro master presence       [hey]Thanks Moya Aside.. Tonight Halloween night was memorable. Johhnny, in his eyes found the greatest pull shot he has ever seen in his life....(you would have to be there to know) Tuan made a special guest appearance. Jager meister Bombs were the drinks of preference I finally beat Johhny. We discussed many interesting things about the scene tonight. Jeff would agree, we talked about how the new up and comers have a good competitive scene locally to be exposed to. Vancouverites generally have awesome 3 bars and 5 bar o and d. Good D theories The only thing that new up and comers wouldn't be exposed to really would be an awesome 2bar (until they see Harvey's in 2 months or so. And it would be great to get new tables sometime. There it is, I said it. Maybe we wait for the brand new models due to come out soon. And Jeff, seriously just re-think everything through eh! |
