5x10

ive played as much on a 5 by 10 as a 4.5 by 9 over the years. and it doesnt make you play better. it fools you into thinking shorter shots are easier. but they are not. same skill sets.

but going back and forth you change all your angles and speed control. so when you change it takes a while to really get fully proficient again. although it may seem long shots are easier.

it is like playing on tight pockets on the same size table. when you go from tight to loose you change how you play position and cheating pockets for position. as well as speed control. and visa versa. it messes you up as you hit the same shots on each table differently. and if you don't you are not playing efficiently.

Interesting Insights from Rory Mcllroy's Psych Doc

Nice post! It might take a slightly different approach to be the best in the world, as opposed to the 10th guy in your local room.

It does! Start playing snooker at age 7, win your first tournament at age 9, and make your first century break at age 10.
Or start playing golf at age 3, appear in Golf Digest at age 5, and start breaking records from there on.
Make it your career and full time job and devote most of your waking hours to it.
That should set you on the right route. You'll find if do that, you're on your way. Probably won't need the psych coaches until much, much later.
