My pace quickly changed and resting and getting lots of it has been key to feeling my “old” self again. One of my favorite things to do at a slower pace is to practice shooting pool. I find it so refreshing.
It’s always a fun time when shooting pool is involved.
The Diamond System – This diagram is for the Three Rail Kick Shot
One of the things Hubby’s started doing at the end of every game we play is to randomly place the cue ball and the object ball randomly on the table. Then I use the Diamond System and three rails to sink it. It’s a lot of FUN when I figure it out and do it! However, there are areas on the table where the Two Rail Kick Shot works best.
He says my job this week is to practice ~ practice ~ practice! Both times he called yesterday I was shooting pool and practicing and enjoying every min of it. He lights up when he hears how enthused I am shooting pool.
Another thing I’m practicing is the strength in which I hit the ball. I found this idea online. The idea is to hit the first ball very soft and then gradually hit the next ball a fraction harder and so on. It’s a lot more difficult than it sounds.
I should take an after shot, the balls are all over the place. Oh what a mess I made with this lesson on try # 1. There’s lots of work cut out for me, to achieve the desired goal.
I took a break from shooting pool and got down to some business. This is my favorite desk/work area. With a cup of coffee, I was good to go!
Sometimes a nice slow pace is just what we need to get our juices going. And with that, I’m excited to see where those juices will take me today.
