In the zone
A sports term...I've been there, all too briefly, playing pool. There have been rare times when I just couldn't miss, the cue ball ending up where I wanted it. A fight could break out elsewhere in the room, and all I'd have seen was what's on my table. Hard to describe the emotional state during these times...not nervous, not happy or sad, but only the shots mattered...nothing else.
A golfer talking about Jack Nicholas in this short video sums it well:
Anybody else here who has been "in the zone"?
