The billiards pre-shot routine is a solution to the beginner pool hardships. There are concepts discussed by Tim Miller in a presentation of four parts that one must apply. Players make inner changes as we master this game to improve our billiard shots.
Part 1 - Mental Control
We have to set goals to have the mental control that will help us focus. One needs to have a self-scrutiny and a reason as to why they are playing for them to have mental control. The PSR helps in both mental control and rhythm. You have to consolidate your thoughts and the shot has four requirements. The shots give one the target, it needs a specific hit and momentum and it needs one to have a special way in which they affect the cue stick with the cue ball. This is mental control and it needs certainty.
Having a goal, utilize every shot by applying PSR and you will succeed. Lack of PSR makes one a confused player. Mental control concentrates the mind on achievement and PSR is the most important step to success in pool.
Part 2 - Mental Control
Thoughts, memory and data accumulation in the mind helps in keeping the gained experience. The mind has PSR experience and the concentration experience. While training, record the missed shots. One should concentrate on PSR and shooting. Before one masters PSR, they must master the DRILL Bytes Six-Pack. Some people also say that if you pause your breathing while making a shot, it will enhance your concentration.
Part 3 – PSR
The steps are, chalk up, aim then pause while breathing. At times when concentrating, some people forget to breath! This is a master’s PSR. When the mind is quiet, it allows focus to the shot and the grip determines the track of the cue ball. The mind remembers the steps and when you train your mind, it works for you. Tim Miller’s latest DVD called “Bring Your Game to Its Highest Level” covers the basic aspects of PSR.
Part 4 - Mental Control
We are working hard to be perfect. To ease one’s way to mastering the game, humor and dedication are important. Work on your PSR once you set your goals. PSR has spiritual growth, which brings focus and mental control. Concentration too is important to make a winning combination.
