Eureka !

[rovnos]

What was the one thing above all others that changed your game ? What and when was your 'EUREKA' moment ?
Maybe, as i suspect, this very rarely happens but i would be interested to know.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

When I worked out having my chest on the cue would do most of the work for me! Remember where and when too, table 8, Attleborough Snooker Club, 19/12/1999

Night before my sixteenth birthday

That's a blast from the past, I've played plenty of league matches at that club....

Really? The one in Nuneaton or the more popular one In Norfolk?

There were many stages in my game in terms of maturity and breakthrough... I do not remember all of them at the moment but the most recent one was:

When I started feeling confident and started focusing on the contact point at the back of the object ball during strike and delivery.... I have never been more consistent before...!!!

I've felt the eureka moment many times over the years.

When I first concentrated on keeping stock still on my shot.

When I first introduced a deliberate rear pause.

When I first focused on smoothly driving my hand to my chest.

When I found the benefit of a slow last pull-back.

I think there are many things which will help your game should you introduce them, but none are going to be the universal panacea.

Getting myself a 62 inch cue so that I didn't have to hold the standard 57 inch one I had been using before right at the very end with just the thumb and index finger wrapped around it. It also meant that I could stretch my bridge arm out straight which gave me a comfortable freer stance. Went from a regular 20 break player to a regular 50 break player in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Wish I was still that regular :dispirited:
