holiday or practice???

[khizzy]

i ve a really important tournament coming up from the 12th,im playing the best snooker i have ever played and the repair work of the tables at my club started yesterday,and will take another 6-7 days for completion,there are no decent tables at clubs anywhere nearby,what do you suggest, do i take the week off and go on a holiday or go practice on a crappy table with old cloth and very old balls? im just afraid that i might go out of form.

well...I'd practice wherever and however I could if I was you. If the cloth and the balls are old..it still should be fine for practising some straight and angled shots

I've been reading your threads, you seem to be a very good player from what you've written to this point!

Take a week off training! Anybody who can get maximums, can take a week off without it devastating thier game!

thants what i was thinking too,i will probably get 4-5 days on the new table before i head for the tournament so i think those 5 days should be good enough to get back the flow.

[lkomarci]

oh so you will have a few days to practice? ok that's great. Well that's perfect. A few days off should increase your motivation and maybe it will do a lot of good for you instead of constantly pushing yourself hard every day

man ive worked so hard the past few months i hope it pays off,but my actual short term is to win the national championship which is in september,im giving in 10 hrs a day.

Don't bother playing with inferior balls / cloths / cushions.

The game you play on there has no bearing whatsoever to your normal conditions...

Couldn't agree more with the comment above, stay away for a few days.

The break could do you a bit of good and it's certainly not going to ruin your ability or experience is it.

I think it's important to play enough, but maybe equally important not to overplay. It's incredible what you can "leave on the practise table", ending up a bit short of sharpness when you really need it.

Mental freshness is arguably as crucial as technical familiarity.
