Maybe we should rename the site bad-backs.com 'cause I know the feeling too. Actually, I like alot of what Saltheart said about keeping your head in the game. The mind likes to play little tricks when your thoughts wonder and make things pretty frustrating when you miss the hit you've been waiting for or just plain bumble that hit... Conditions permitting, I like to get in a position I can maintain (I've always had happy feet and need to move around a little
), close my eyes, and really try to see in my minds eye what is happening on the other end of my line. Eels or plugs or whatever, if it's moving, try to paint a mental picture on what is happening on the other end. Also, don't force into your mind what you want it to look like out there but what is really happening. I've tried to make a couple technique changes based on paying REALLY close attention...
Good words there Salty!!
