I find a huge diffrence when I am relaxed, instead of tense. My throws are longer and more accurate. I do smoke and drink (though I don't drink much, maby 1-2 beers), and I think that helps a little bit, but relaxing your mind, taking a deep breath, and streching make a much larger diffrence. When I've got someone at home that's giving me regular, good, massages then I play twice as good, my muscles are relaxed and able to flow smothly. I also find that I play more relaxed when I'm on less crowded courses, something about waiting behind people makes me more tense. Another thing I have noticed about playing more relaxed and better, is that if I am playing with people who I feel intimedated by, I am more tense and therfore play worse.
