Today I switched back to banks-only mode to start preparing for the Derby City Classic banks division.
I had been, for the past few weeks, playing and practicing some 9-ball, 8-ball, and one-pocket in a futile attempt to regain the ability to (a)make a ball straight-in and (b)play position.
For the next three months I'll shoot only bank shots. I may not be able to better my finish of last year's tournament, but at least it won't be from lack of practice.
