The important advantage of video recording of practice sessions is that it reveals Truth. For example, the video below, from last night's Optimum Practice session, clearly shows that I do not stay down on the shots on the 5 ball.
I should replay this a lot, and say to myself, maybe scream it, "Stay Down".
I'm thinking I also should focus on a pause in my back swing on these shots.
This is two attempts at the drill, with a pretty picture as intermission, which is sort of like putting lipstick on a pig.
Drill attempt #1 finishes successfully, #2 does not. In both attempts my shot on the 4 is sloppy, but it goes anyway, and the shot on the 5 is horrible because I slipped my stroke and jumped up, but it goes. So much for the "Bad" (or is it "Ugly"?).
The Good is the shot on the 6 in both attempts, which I could watch all day. Top inside english to get nice shape on the 7, which sets up the 8 to get down-table on the 9.
