which shots give you problems?

Which shots give you the most problems?

Mine are side pockets banks from an end cushion esp. on a strange table

Update:

Mickey --Straight Try a little head clearing routine just anything to let yourself regroup your thoughts walk over to your bar table pick up a peice of chalk .Even bend down to tie your shoes ok silly but do something to break up that feeling in the back of your neck then just get down on the money ball and fire that sucka in the pocket

With me now and not this repost Its the first shot not the last " Like can I still do this or not" Im about to find out and it rattles me some times

    No shots give me problems, because I've been playing the game for a long time. In the past, whenever a particular shot gave me problems I would figure out a shooting drill. I would practice the drill repetatively until the shot became second nature. The drills are the most boring things about billiards, but you have to do them if you want to improve. Drills are using repetative motion to increase muscle memory, making the shots almost instinctive.

    I'm with Mickey. The money ball still gives me more problems than anything else. I can get all the way to the shot, but it it's even slightly difficult, I seem to have issues. It's purely mental, but still a hurdle I haven't overcome completely. It happened to me about an hour or two ago.

    Just the "money ball" shot Johnny!....and of course, getting to it first!....actually, the straight in shot up the rail to the corner and having to draw back the cue ball! I seem to rattle it lots of times...dead center on the cue ball or follow is not as much trouble but if I have to draw back hard....I rattle it!.
