There are lots of long-time players who have hit a million balls but have rarely, if ever, practiced. By practice I mean consciously working out how particular shots or situations work. Shots that often stop your runs. Situations that cause you to lose.

People refer to the "10,000 hour" rule to become an expert, but those 10,000 hours are in purposeful, directed practice. That's not knocking balls around or even playing sets.

As for the half-hour max rule... That's too long for some people and too short for others. How long can you maintain focus?

Joshua "The Killer" Filler's new 'do puts him in the Peaky Blinders category. My daughter says it's called the "Fade."

Here are two. Plus my sneaky The green veneer one with Birdseye is all original. The Titlist was found on ebay in with a plastic ring that was peeling. I had materials lying around to fix it. First tried black phenolic, then the brown. It needs a steel pin for better balance. Cueball bumper and and hoppe ring with phenolic. Oddly the darker ring is from the same piece as the buttcap. I worked at the Jointed Cue years ago for Dave and built a purple heart sneaky to match a particularly good playing shafts from my first Stonier cue that i regretfully sold.

All you guys saying Shane's game is slipping are nuts. Of course he will be less dominant facing 5 times the amount of top talent now.
