She is ranked a level 3 (levels are 2-7) so she's the second lowest rank. She only needed to win two games against me, and I needed four because I'm a level 5. I beat her 4-0.
She's Captain of her team and was talking all this shit before the match once she realized she was playing me, bragging about some break-and-run she did last week and naming all these high level shooters she's beaten.
In our second game, she played a defense leaving me a tough 8-ball shot.
I did not have a direct line on the 8-ball because one of her balls was blocking me.
The 8-ball was two inches from the side pocket, and about an inch north of it.
I had to bank the cue ball off the far end of the table where it came back and cut the 8-ball in the side.
I hit it softly and the 8-ball hung on the pocket for a good, full second before dropping in. It was a sick, sick shot. I gave a little fist pump because I got a dopamine rush from it.
From that point on, her hand started to mysteriously hurt. She had trouble racking the balls because her hand hurt so much and started shaking her hand after every missed shot.
I was all, "OMG I'm sorry you look like you were shooting in so much pain!"
Every week I get a little bit closer to my old form. I made very few mistakes last night and now have won my last three matches: I beat a 7, a 5, and now a 3.

You miss a shot due to one of two reasons or a combination of both: 1) Your aim was wrong 2) Your technique was bad
I'd say 90% of missed shots are due to #2.
The biggest mistake I see is in the stroke. People have a tendency to "pull up" when they shoot. You have to stay down.
When I was first shooting, I was shooting with a guy who helped me all night work on my follow through because I was pulling up.
Even when I swore I was following through and staying down he said I was still pulling up.
I learned to do this exaggerated follow through where I would keep my pool cue down on the table long after I shot to ensure I was not pulling up. That was the biggest improvement to my game.
Another common mistake I see is people who jack up the back of the cue when they shoot. You always want to keep the cue parallel to the ground.
When you raise the back of the cue up you are essentially doing a masse shot which magnifies any mistake in your aim or stroke.
When I'm on fire, I'm not thinking about the outcome of the shot at all. I'm entirely focused on my technique and go through a checklist: stance, grip, aim, English, follow through.
