A day with Chris Small

[Terry Davidson]

I would say:

1. Think only positive thoughts (i.e. - 'what will happen WHEN I MAKE THIS POT, rather than what will happen IF I miss this pot'.
2. Keep your head down.
3. Drive through AND BEYOND the cueball. (Imagine hitting the object ball with your tip).

Congratulations to Dylan and well done to you as you obviously played a major part .

I would say

1 Stick to the same pre shot routine on every shot .
2 Find the exact contact point on ob and use the middle of the body to line up to exactly that point .
3 Front pause and stay down on the shot until the ball hits the pocket .

That's fantastic Chris , chuffed to bits, for the lad
1,Pre shot routine 2 stay still until ball is in the bag,3 eyes fixed on contact point of ob on the rear pause.
I would also like a youngster to get my hours if I win, as I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, lol.

After thinking on this for awhile I came to the conclusion young Dylan probably has mastered any technique items and in order to win he has to focus more on the mental side of a match. So I would like to change my 3 things to:

1. Believe in yourself and your abilities.
2. Think only positive thoughts.
3. Imagine yourself as a winner of the match and tournament. Picture you kissing the trophy.

Pot as many balls as you can

[damienlch]

Pot as many balls as you can

... and play safe when you can't...

I'd say:

1. Loose grip
2. Front pause
3. Slow pullback

Not really taking part, just thought it fun to guess...

[Bigmeek]

1) Relax and breath normally.
2) Concentrate on technique.
3) Have confidence in your abilities.

[throtts]

1, remember pre shot aiming, do it properly.
2, remember the front and first pause on going down.
3, play the table, not the player.

If I win ( slim i know ) someone can have the tuition hours off me, too far for me travel, guys...

If only I had reiterated what Chris told me at yesterday's lesson , then I would have won the two hours free coaching !!

Please let the forum know how it went.

I'm not a bad looser and I am not bothered about not wining the "A day with Chris Small" competition.

I'm just hoping do better in the "A night with kim kardashian" competition when that starts.

Would have been a stewards enquiry! Lol.
