Mental Edge Billiards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do after a miss?<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You miss a ball you make all the time in practice. Your opponent is at the table, and you\u2019re still replaying the stroke. When you get another turn, where do you start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Bane Kalanj. Mental Edge Billiards is where I write and film the parts of pool that happen between shots. How do you let go of the last one, read the new layout and decide where you want the cue ball to finish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you keep landing on the wrong side of the last two balls, feel the nerves before a match or find yourself practicing the same shots every week. Mental Edge Billiards brings Bane\u2019s books, video lessons and drills together around moments like these. The Mental Edge series explores focus, decisions and pressure. Practice Lab gives you specific layouts and a score to record. Bring a question from last night\u2019s league match and leave with something to try at the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

I change my mind when I\u2019m already down on the shot.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start with the pre-shot routine in the first volume of The Mental Edge. Pick the line and speed while you\u2019re still standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rush when the match is on the line.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Volume 2 covers playing under pressure and finding your rhythm after an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pocket the ball but lose position.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Practice Lab asks you to record where the cue ball actually finished. That gives you something specific to work on next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing, while they shoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your opponent plays, choose one thing you\u2019ll do when you get back to the table. For example, before you reach for the chalk, take in the whole layout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
