    I usually look back and tell myself "damn, Tim, that was horrible". It's never been bad enough to knock it into the gutter, though. Usually just feel a brush. Does freak you out a bit!

    Chicken Wing! Hate it. For some reason I struggle with this more than anything, it is always when I start pulling it.

    pushing my ball through when i should just let it come down is my biggest problem.

    Taking my eye off the target is what gets my game off. I found that staying with my pre shot routine helps to keep me focused on my target. If I let my mind wander that is when I get inconsistent.

    I just started a thread on my issue of pulling the ball after a game or so. Have no clue why I do this.
