| What advice do you have for someone who aspires to join the tour? | You cannot control the outcome, but you can control your thoughts and your level of play. |
| Practice Tip | Place an object ball in the center of the table and place the cue ball about a foot directly behind it so that you have a straight in shot to the corner pocket, diagonally across the table. Practice this straight in shot and move the cue ball further away from the object ball. You will eventually have the cue ball placed in the jaws of the corner pocket and object ball in the center of the table. This will test your accuracy and challenge your fundamentals. |
