but I'm finding, as I start to relax, I'm thinking more and more to myself, I know I'm a reasonable player, I know they'll moan at me if I miss this (difficult) shot but, in my mind, that is the right shot to play so I'm going to play it and I'm really not too bothered if I get it or not - it's the right shot ...
as I think Steve Davis once said ... "try to play every shot as if it means nothing even if it means everything" ... wise words if you think about it ...
PS, I'm won 2 lost 2 for the pool team ... lost one because I failed to lay an easy snooker (my fault) ... lost the second against a player called Sefton Payne - Google him, I was pleased to keep him under control for about 4 visits ...Last edited by DandyA; 3 August 2009, 12:51 AM.

Yes play the game as though it means nothing..when it means everything. Your best snooker is played once you totally relax and let everything flow and come to you 2nd nature.Always play snooker with a smile on your face...You never know when you'll pot your last ball.

I want to start practising regularly, around 10 hours a week, to improve my potting, positioning, gain confidence... I started playing three months ago just for fun, now I want to win some matches in my club and feel the improvement.
By the way, why is everyone so "obsessed" with the highest break? I mean, I find obvious that a 50, a century or a maximum can be a goal to achieve, but putting the HB as a measure of improvement I find it counterproductive. It's obvious that a player with a 30 can be far better than one with a 50, am I right? It's all about consistency on your game, not a one-time success.Last edited by quintahunter; 3 August 2009, 07:17 AM.

Remember whatever target or goal you have you must know exactly what you need to do to achieve it and when you want to achieve it by.
My target is for my snooker team to finish in the top 5 of the league. Of course, you don't have control of how the other players play but you can control how you perform.
The most important thing is to enjoy the game. Enjoyment is key.
