[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2298151, member: 879"] Practice leads to improvement only if combined with learning from your mistakes. So "call every shot"! That means say to yourself where the shot landed before you look at the target. When your call and your POI become the same, you are then in a position to learn what you are doing wrong and hence learn by eliminating those things that lead to misses to be able to predict and call a perfect shot before you look at the target to confirm it. When you can break a shot and say, "that is an X" and then look at the target and it is an X, then your own mistakes have taught you how to eliminate them as much as you can and you are now shooting up to your potential consistently. But one never gets to that point unless he marks and learns from every missed shot. Eventually, you can get to the point to where when you miss, you know what you did wrong. [/QUOTE]
