Just remember this - whenever you miss a shot, miss position, or just screw up, your reactionary statement should always start with the word "I"... not "the music" or "the table", or anything else. always take responsibility for what happened, and learn from it, regardless of the circumstances. You will find that overtime, that this will be the most valuable GOOD HABIT to possess - and it will be easier to shrug it off, push it aside, and move forward. Good luck!
All through that rack, you had a perfect break ball/key ball set up, that is until you went into the balls behind the rack and created more problems for yourself. After that, you were kind of forced into taking that 3 ball, which is a longer shot, and a no-no in 14.1.
as far as the concentration, its a good idea to walk around the table & adjust to the music - get up out of your stance and start all over. You missed the next few shots due to being aggravated - its an easy problem to fix.
I know!! lol... its soooo aggravating! ... See, i chose the side of the pool hall where it was totally empty... only me and 4 tables... it was totally quiet (which is how i like it) and then suddenly just as i let go on the 3 the freakin music started and it was LOUD! ... its hard to tell on the video but it startled me... i had very good confidence in completing that rack and getting on my break ball... but then i got flustered...
you have to use the middle pocket... u can't play only with the corner...
