The result is damage to other parts of my game that should have been left alone. I am pathologically inconsistent, running hot and cold by nature. Pat takes my temperature with a meat thermometer. I make decisions when there is only one choice, and still make the wrong ones. Yogi was my kind of man.
Consistency is what separates the boys from the men.
Anybody can have a great game. The pros have a lot of them, because they are consistent. Every pro player will probably agree that practice and consistency are the number one and two requirements for success. Consistency in aiming is the most critical of all. The most frequent, and probably the best advice given with regard to aiming, is to imagine a line drawn from the middle of the intended pocket, through the center of the object ball.
