New Here? - Introduce Yourself

Just got back into the game after just about 22 years of not playing. I regret selling off my cue collection over the years, because a) they would be worth a lot more than what I sold them for when I did, and b) I'm a friggin' idiot for selling them in the first place. I did, however, have one stolen back in 2003.
So, now I'm old, my back hurts after playing all day and I have to wear glasses. I'm so far out of stroke it's comical. I have only been playing again for a month, and the expectations of myself are way out of whack. This fall I will likely get into some league/tourney play.
That's it. That's the post. :)

Time and effort required to reach Fargo 400, 500, 600

My Fargo number reflects my performance when walking in cold
So uh let's see training was Huge . Of course it's the  Coaching that makes it Real effective. I owe gratitude and salute to BBackward Jan. I haven't even heard Of him in a couple or few decades. Oh how the time flies.
His coaching started with, "Be a shot maker."
My All World level high-school baseball coach started with, "Be A Hitter". Following his coaching I hit The Wheel in high-school baseball competition. 🤷‍♂️ His hitting coaching was, "the pea in the center of the ball is what you are hitting." So I wore out a baseball bat hitting tossed up pea gravel. At 14 to 16 and with no tv or internet I lived adjacent the gravel pits left by the gold miners.shrug
So the basics start with The Cradle.

The grip in baseball changes The Pitch an incredible amount. Same for Pool or Billiards or Snooker.
My Cradle Challenge is shooting the first shot of my morning fitness while standing erect and shooting "from the hip". . Well the motorcycle launch had me practicing with left arm in a sling and upright stance for a few weeks. 🤷‍♂️
Belly button on the line of the shot at a linebackers stance a cue stick measured distance from the ball.

Please excuse illustrator....he blames pair uh lax distortion as it's a straight line on a plane too. OOOPS Better Mute That persons Microphone 🎤.
Illustrator basic Cadet efforts, please er uh "hire the handicapped " comes to mind. Of course political correctness doesn't allow me to add, "they are fun to watch". Of course the Karma Gawds have a way of making you the butt of the joke. 🤷‍♂️
That should get a week before working on anything else. So an hour of practice First then you can have desert. As in go Play. One on the five and 2 on the 9 is fun. Of course one and fifteen in the side last pocket 8 ball can be fun too. 🤷‍♂️ 😉
Okay back to my morning fitness.

Temu HOW tip

Last night a guy gave me his 314 shaft to install this "HOW" tip he provided.

No HOW branding on the packaging, low-quality branding on the tip, and the word GLUE is backwards on the back of the tip. I told him it was a counterfeit. He said install it anyway and he would try it out, so we shall see. I'll update after I get it on the shaft.

Their prices are low for a reason.
