  I hear ya G,  lost my reflexes a while back.  All the knowledge in the virtual world doesn't help much when you aren't consistent when it comes to the ding lol.

   

  I blame it on the tendonitis of my mouse hand/wrist.  ;-)  

  2 surgeries to my right hand/wrist in the Army (big mistake) and symptoms of carpal tunnel and TFCC tear getting worse/ coming back.

  Try using the starter balls for a week. Can't hurt.

  1964 vintage here.  Glass or three of wine / loads of beer sees me fine.  Strange how some days I ding better than others though (don't drink everyday lol).  Bit like batting in cricket against fast pace.  First get out there and WTF, but once in start to see the ball coming on to the bat.  I have more chance with the ding here still, than I would against seriously quick bowling I do know that much.

  FWIW though on a more serious note I do find that cricket analogy (maybe say baseball might be same for the OP?) helps.  Try to relax just enough not to get flustered, but not so much as to lose sharpness, and let it happen.   I find that ups my % ding (or close to) overall...........My way  fwiw as say.

  Yeah, It just seems like I see it get to within 1/4 " before the ding ,next thing I see is 1/2" late and she goes sailing. 

  Been going on now for about a month , father time you gota love him. I even went to Max server full screen, it made the swing scale about 1/4 longer. Thought that would help ,but nope,

  One thing for sure is 100% focus. I know if it slips by for me, then a tiny thought has come into my head, like shall I have another coffee, or similar.and interrupted my thinking.

  Even the wife coming in and saying 'good mornin' is disturbing.

  LOL,  Both surgeries done on base facilities, but at different bases and they are both fudged.   

  Now that I am out, my options are to suck it up and take motrin, have a visit with the Detroit VA hospital or just use my civilian insurance and pay for it.

  After reading that to myself, I will just learn to live with my problems lol.

  So u have civilian insurance, but u still have to pay, is that how American insurance works.

  Sounds like shite to me.

  One of my first jobs was with an Insurance company. So here's a good question for ya....

  What is the difference between insurance and assurance ?
