I also had my butt handed to me by Jimmy Moore , I didn't mind one bit racking the balls for him just to have the privilege to play a few racks of pool with him .I played Jimmy Moore when he was in his 80s, he kicked my ass.
Most athletes are in their prime from about 25 to 30, I would add 10-20 years for pool players. But the average player could be competitive into their sixties.
Not long afterwards I heard about a " road player " who Jimmy was practicing with that told him he played pretty good pool for a old man !
Well they changed the game to a race to 11 for $ 1.000.00 winner break , the road player racked 11 racks straight when he tried to settle his debt Jimmy told him to keep his money so he could get some pool lessons !
So yes I feel there's hope for all of us as we age gracefully or try to anyway even with a health issue from time to time !
