Bit of a question and guidance required if anything.........
My technique and potting and come along way, but I am finding I am still losing games!!! I've finding I'm giving myself chances and then messing up, or playing safe and people are potting the long pot, or I am finding the white is going in. It is not just happening 1 frame, I played a total of 20 frames this week, and in 12 of them I was leading my time we got to the last few reds and I am still managing to lose. What also hurts is the amount of times I am potting a good long ball, getting into the flow, and once I get towards the 5/6 ball break mark I then do something really silly........... and that is the only way I can describe these errors, it is as if I am fighting a side of me that is making me do silly things?
Is there any way to cut of these silly mistakes?? I know most people will say slow down and think about the shot, especially playing safety to an area rather than just to baulk etc, but I find the more I try thinking about what I should be doing, the worse I play!!! Is it a case of working on concentration or is there something else to it??
The only way I can describe it as I said, is like an internal struggle, there is the good side of me constantly fighting to stop the silly side of my game come out, and thus after 2 frames I am mentally tired, but what is worse, is that people are not beating me, I am beating myself!!!
