In 8 ball, billiards/pool. How do you shake off anger after missing an easy shot?

Say you are about to shoot the black 8 ball because it’s the last ball you need to make to win, but you always seem to miss how do you not get angry?

It sounds difficult, but you need to try to not give any particular shot more importance than any other shot. Whether it’s the game ball, the money ball, a long cut shot, or a 2ft. straight in shot, they all deserve the same level of attention. One thing that helps with pocketing the 8-ball is to imagine that you have another ball left on the table that you will be playing position on after the 8-ball. In fact, you should always be playing cue ball position on every shot, especially the game ball. Even if that just means that you want to freeze the cue ball on the adjacent cushion after pocketing the ball, you should always have a specific job for your cue ball on every shot. It should be more specific than “just don’t scratch”. Something that will get you into a better headspace is to have a pre-shot routine that you perform on every shot. Repetition is how pool players become consistent and comfortable at the table. If you concentrate on your mechanics (stance, grip, bridge, head position, etc.), practice strokes, visualizing your shot, etc., you won’t be tempted to focus on the “importance” of the shot. I can’t tell anyone how to control their anger. If you are regularly taking low percentage shots and taking unneccessary risks, then you will be setting yourself up for anger and frustration. We all miss shots that we shouldn’t from time to time. 99% of the time, it’s not an aiming error, it’s an error in stroke mechanics. You knew where to put the cue ball, your body just failed to replicate the picture in your mind. I would recommend that look into getting pool lessons from a certified instructor. I think you will find that with improved mechanics and a fuller understand of the game, your level of enjoyment will rise and your anger will dissipate. Best of luck. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
