Advice on "goldfish memory" from shot to shot
I am a mid-400s Fargo, which for me, means I miss position on my next shot on a regular basis. I'm noticing that I'm having a tough time letting go of the annoyance at at my own bad cue-ball control before my next shot. This is a minor but noticeable distraction for me, and I'd like to work on that. Does anyone have tips?
Here's what I'm doing now:
- regular and consistent physical pre-shot routine
- attempt at a consistent mental pre-shot routine (evaluate table, evaluate options, choose speed/spin, then aim)
However, as a get down on the shot and try to focus on delivery, I'm noting -- unhelpfully at this point -- that this shot would be easier if I had gotten better position on my last shot.
As the saying goes, I'm not good enough to be mad at missing. I get that, and I'm not mad (don't put in the newspaper that I'm mad). But I am annoyed.
What do y'all do from shot to to shot to avoid this?
