Bar Machine Button Pounder?
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2019 12:34 pm
I have a confession to make. I have always hated button pounders. But apparently i have slowly slid into a bad habit.
Short version of story. Usually play Bar Machines,notorious for sticky/balky/intermittent buttons. New more powerful hearing aids 6 months ago which i have to turn off in casino noise. Wife came up behind me two weeks ago and said "you know those button pounders you hate,you have become one of them".
The d..n misholds have added a new excess of firmness to my stroke, which is not audible to me.
To the glowering, snarling, fellow players,which i know must have been out there, i apologize.
I have shortened my stroke from 6 inches to 1/4 to 1/2 inch, and am practicing with my hearing aids on.
My recovery is still a work in progress. Any advice from recovered pounders would be helpful.
