Billiards Supplies Tips and Info.

How did the 2008 BCA (Billiards Congress of America) National 8 Ball Pool Tournament turn out for me?

I’ve been back in town 4 days, I’m about caught up with my work load and I’m ready to spill the beans about the Vegas Pool Tournament.

I must confess that this was my worst performance ever in Vegas where the singles competition is concerned. This is the first time since the tournament was held in Denver which was late eighties (1988 or 1989), that I was 2 and out of the National tournament. (The Denver Nationals was my first major tournament 20 years back)

This year it was not because I played 2 bad dudes who ran out on me endlessly. It’s because I did not prepare for this tournament in the proper manner and my game was not anywhere near up to par. I did run racks in both of my matches, so I wasn’t totally asleep. On the other side of the coin, I missed a couple eight balls and general position on several shots.  I gave my two opponents enough opportunities to make them look good.

I’ll be writing some future posts about the individual matches and there will be some cool content on the mental aspects of the game there as well. Stay tuned to this Blog Channel.

Classic Billiards on ESPN. Have you been watching?

I am writing this post on my lap top as I watch two legends of Pocket Billiards battle it out. Willie Mosconi (my personal pool playing hero) is playing Cowboy Jimmy Moore. I’m not sure when the match was played but the guide from Dish Network states the original air date of 2004.

They are playing on a 9 foot Brunswick Gold Crown Pool Table and I believe the tournament is in Atlantic City. Jimmy Moore was 71 years old and Willie Mosconi 68 at the time of this match. Both players could still run the balls even in their old age. (I met Willie in Denver back in 1989. I was 21 and he blew my mind.) I love Classic Billiards.
Willie Mosconi a 15 time world champion (Yeah Fifteen Time Champion) shined like the true star that he was. In the interview after the match, Allen Hopkins asked Willie, “Now that you are in the finals do you think you will win the tournament?” Willie replied, “Allen I didn’t think I had a chance. you know I’m not a 9 ball player.”

One of the Billiards Fundamental Course subscribers sent in his “Billiards Menatl Routine” in a reply to an email that he received.

I posted the chain of communication below. Our self talk is extremely important and having the right thoughts in our mind will help us execute our shots correctly.
