Try this system.
The next time you lean over a shot, focus your eyes on the target ball. Do not look at the cue ball. Keep your eyes on the object ball and where you would like to make contact.
Do this for many shots until you develop a sense of how your stance and eyes line up towards the target. Once you reach this level, go back to looking at the cue ball as well as the object ball.
This is an exercise. After you go through this for a few days, you will automatically select the shots that work best when you look at the target only.
Set up the cue ball on the rack dot. Stare at the number seven diamond on the bottom rail. Lean over and line up one half cue tip right. Do not look at the cue ball. Keep you eyes on the diamond. You will see that you can develop a solid stance and land where you want on the cue ball.
It is entirely up to you.
I have a student who has agreed to enter The Monk Training Center for “Special Training” for the US Open. I will send you his profile for you to see. I will also send you his purpose statement. Read both of them and consider helping this young man fulfill his dreams. I personally believe I have the program to deliver this champion to the US Open with a distinct advantage. I just need your help.
He will take a leave of absence from his job here in New Zealand. He is not a rich man by any means. In fact, he just gets by. He will lose income for six weeks. Then he will need to travel to the states. He will need his five hundred dollar entry fee. The expense of this project requires him to reach out to “friends of The Monk” for help. We are asking you to sponsor Ceri Worts for “Special Training” and his entry in the US Open. I am waiving my fee for this one month of total training. I am asking you for help.
If you will commit two hundred dollars towards his expenses I will do the following.
1. You will be updated on how his training goes with special insights to the knowledge gained from this experience. From this special training program we will develop some incredible knowledge regarding pattern play and what is the right way to approach a lay out. This knowledge will be offered to Masters only. You will be part of it as a sponsor of the US Open project.
2. You will be invited to attend The US Open and sit with other sponsors as we watch this young man perform.
3. You will help Ceri fulfill his dreams.
4. You will raise the value of our Masters of Art’s in Pocket Billiards program. All you need to do is commit a two hundred dollar sponsorship for Ceri Worts to win The US Open. Send a check to Samsara Publishing. PO Box 365 Orange, MA. 01365. This money will be in a special account and only used for US Open expenses.
I am looking for twenty sponsors. I am one so we need nineteen more. Will you help this young man out? Please respond to this email and I will put you on a special mailing list. Ceri officially begins his “camp” training September 6th. He is preparing for that training right now as he must be at world class level before he enters the month long camp.

Our first class at The Monk Training Center.
Last week we had a class at The Monk Training Center. Five Masters attended and I taught the following subject.
I do hope you will make plans to attend this unique training experience in New Zealand.
A missed shot comes from past experience. We have missed it before and that experience suddenly comes back into our mind. We operate in the mind set that has been established during our development. If we miss a certain shot more than once, our mind simply logs in the report that this is a shot we miss.
Do not bring the past into the present.
When you are confronted with past experience stop right there and go through your pre shot routine. Break the mold. Do not shoot the shot if you are infected with thoughts of missing.
What do you do when confronted with past experiences?
If you think of a shot as being the “right shot” and this is considered truth, you must then measure it to past experience. If past experience tells you it is a miss able shot, then you must take that fact and measure it to your intuition to go for the shot. In order to master the one shot at a time routine, you must develop your intuitive skills.
What source do we use to realize that one shot is no more valuable than another?
You must be able to eliminate the right or wrong of an action based upon past experience. You must take the intellectual evaluation out of it. Our past experience operates in the intellectual mind. So you must move to the intuitive mind. See the shot, know the stroke, and shoot the shot.
The power of past experience comes from what source?
There is no right or wrong on something that has not happened. A shot does no exist until you shoot it. The game of pocket billiards is an instinctual game and the sooner you begin to develop your instincts the better you will perform. The difference between intuition and instinctual is that intuition is a sense about something that is happening, and instinctual is a sense of about what you are doing.
You should not be thinking about a run out. You should be going through your instinctual senses. In effect, you are floating through a run. Stand in front of a shot and develop keen interest in that shot. Do not shoot the shot until you have only the shot in your mind.
What is the best time to shoot a shot?
A failed run out almost always ended on a missed shot. In most cases, this shot is one you could make. We normally fail when we measure the shot from past experiences. Develop an I Came to Win attitude and See the shot, Know the stroke, Shoot the shot.
