The Elusive Pool Stroke

Let's call it The Pool Stroke.

It.

These are the rules I know. (There might be more.)

• It can be found, but it cannot be forced.  
• You can use it, but you cannot command it.
• You can ask it, but you cannot demand it.   
• You can't hurry it. (Though if you hurry, you might accidentally find it.) 
• It cannot be described, but you can recognize it.
• You cannot give it instructions.
• You can observe it, but you cannot interfere. 
• The more you practice, the easier it is to find.
• The more you practice, the more it can fine-tune itself.
• The better your technique, the better it can fine-tune itself. 
• Though it can work with a wide variety of techniques.     
• It's of you, but not yours. 
• It finds the perfect looseness for you. 
• There's no one to blame, when it misses. It's just fine-tuning itself.
• No one can take credit for it, when it succeeds.   
• The conscious mind cannot control it. The conscious mind is best to keep somewhere else.
• You can give commands to the conscious mind. Like for example, where to keep the focus. 
• Incidentally, focusing on something is only there to keep the conscious mind from interfering.
• You need to figure out what your conscious mind should be focused on. But don't fool yourself thinking that it is you that executes The Stroke then.  
• If you don't trust it, you lose it. 
• When you think you've finally figured it out, consciously, you lose it.

Almost forgot the most important thing: if you manage to find The Pool Stroke, the mastery of the game has only begun.
