Les:

That case should really improve things

LOL You have to look like a player even if your not a player.
Well your advice seem to help me today, I played two games against myself as if they where actual games and I think that was the best medicine for me. This is the only way I am going to learn to see the table. I got thinking about my games yesterday when he left me in the balls and I think what happens as I see so many shots I get confused and take a shot with no idea where I am going next then I miss the colour because of poor shape and I am sitting back down.

Scratch the iPod thingy and just play against yourself and just keep a mental track of your high breaks. It will take probably 3 -4 weeks until you start seeing improvement but stick with it and DON'T CHANGE A THING IN YOUR TECHNIQUE and don't experiment with anything else, just keep the ultra loose grip and play.

OK, time to watch some TV. Too tired to practice

[DandyA]

Yes. I was playing regularly and doing very well before I even knew about the TSF. I enjoy guys to talk to as I have no one else that plays around here. I will say one thing it's time to forget about videos and just post to say hello and how I am making out with my challenges. Complaining about my game does me no good on here except get me more confused.

Also I will note at that point I knew nothing about technique, everything was done by feel and never heard of looking at the OB I had always looked at CB. Had my first coaching session with Terry and he video taped me making long blues and I made 7-10. He gave me his training cue with the spring in the butt and ran the spots with no problem. He did not see a whole lot wrong with my game other then learning how to play position and learning how to play the stun shot. Now look at me. Cannot make a thing.

there must be a lesson to learn there somewhere but I'm not sure what it is ...

Dandy If there is a lesson up there I have no clue what it is. I have had one of those days, from down in the dumps and back again. I am my own worst enemy. Cannot control my emotions and just play.
