Pre-shot routine — every shot
1. See it. Visualize the exact ball path. If you can't see it, don't throw it.
2. Commit. Pick line, speed, target. Decide and don't revisit.
3. Execute. Two or three physical checkpoints, max. Trust the work.
4. Evaluate — no judgment. Did it match the intention? Information, not emotion.

Move OPPOSITE the pin — 3 boards per pin position — and keep your strike target. Eyes never change, only your feet. True unmakeables (count & move on): 7-10, 4-6, 4-6-7-10. Low-percentage but possible: 8-10, 4-9, 7-9, 6-8, 4-7-10 — pick the makeable side, take the count.
