Sal does not get offended when she looks away. Focusing on her next shot. He knows how much she cares for him. Knowing that is good enough for him Being to openly affectionate will get them into nothing but trouble.<br/><br/>He watches her take her shot. He nods. Impressed how quickly you are catching on. He is calm and his voice is supportive being sure not to put pressure on you.<br/>"Excellent. Nice try. Might I suggest for now not to hit the ball not quite so hard. It makes it hard to control the cue stick. Control and ball direction is what we want to work on right now. Power will come as you gain more experience. As for direction, let me show you a little trick that might help you visualize the direction you want the ball to go. Take the cue stick and line it up over the top of the cue and the ball you want to hit and point the tip the direction you want the ball to go say like that pocket right there. Now imagine there is a line going down the table for your ball to follow. Thats where you want to hit the ball. Like this. " He lines up the cue like he says looking down the cue seeing exactly where hes going. He moves his cue behind the white ball and hits the ball with much less force, a nice smooth force and the ball rolls and drops into the pocket." Like that. Give it a try Tam.""
