Fellow pool players has this ever happened to you?

I was practicing as much as ever. Getting better and did hings that I never did before (Running a 4 pack of 9 Ball), Than all of a sudden one evening no matter what I couldn’t focus at all. This went on for a week. Decided to take a week break. Did that and when I started to practice again I couldn’t focus. That has been about a month ago. I am worried that I might be burned out on pool for good

A lot of stuff going on in my life right now that has made it hard for me to focus on anything really

This is fairly common with playing pool or at least it was for myself. I got to where I couldn’t miss even if I was not looking even ran 3 consecutive racks in 8-ball once but it is common to have lapses and inconstancy until you really hone your stroke and position play/speed just play through it or take a little more time off.

I know the feeling. I always just go back to the fundamentals if i’m having an off night. Usually helps with the shakes too. I always tell people who ask to get comfortable with your stroke first then work on your eyes.
