Take a leaf from Ronnie's book - he has made some truly amazing clearances on absolutely rubbish/messy tables in pressure situations, so, why can't you..

      No, but you can at least try to think like him (perhaps without the see-saw of confidence tho).

        I once heard him say (on youtube of course), that he see's the entire table, balls, cushions, knuckles, etc, as a way to put balls in pockets. That's a good way of looking at it. Not that it's possible everyday of course.
        On a good day, he can use everything and anything to his advantage, on a bad day you end up seeing his tongue stick out too much lol.
        Long days and pleasant nights.

            That's great mate, I didn't imagine for one minute you'd just quit. It's not easy with a long hours job and kids mate, not easy. Put some motivational background music on. Get rocking. It's all about being in the right frame of mind.
            Harder than you think is a beautiful thing.
