60" Jeff Purvis Custom Cue

Jeff Purvis 60” Conversion Cue Review

I recently purchased a very nice looking 60” (30/30 split) cue from Jeff and I couldn’t be happier. He was a pleasure to work with as he answered all of my questions and shipped the cue out as soon as he finished it.

The fit and finish of the cue is very nice and the cue hits even better than it looks. The radial pin gives it that classic wood to wood feel that I have always loved. When I shoot with this cue, I get the feeling of a McDermott D Series cue, and that is about a good a compliment as I can come up with for a cue. This cue looks old-school and feels old-school. Two thumbs up for that! Jeff did a great job on this cue and sold it to me for a great price.

So, If you are looking for a nice custom cue built to your specs and preferences, contact Jeff and he’ll take care of you. You won’t be disappointed if you do.

HOW DO WE LEARN ??

often the discussions about systems or routines diverge with many saying you cant play with all that crap in your head
and they are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but you cant get good until you consciously go thru the steps in your head (stage 3) and master them and then dont have to think about them (stage 4)\
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The assumption is that to move from conscious competence to unconscious competence, one must exert considerable effort and “train harder.”

This assumption can appear valid because top performers tend to train and practice more than their competitors. (Former all-stars like Michael Jordan in basketball and Tiger Woods in golf were prime examples.)

However, unconscious competence comes not through “more effort” but through a kind of relinquishing or “surrendering” within oneself.
It’s often when you reach the point where you think you’ll never achieve any level of mastery that the transformation unfolds. Mastery is realized not by will but by allowing or letting go.

If that's an obstacle then sure, allowing your being to perform is the ticket. Problem is, with the "way of learning" so clearly laid out, you end up with a body of 'know all the steps, mastered a few" trying to take over the show and generally capitalize for anything it's worth. Pool is a performance - a <can do> thing. That only comes together when you have all the pieces.

A little bit about the Psychology of winning!

Winning psychology in sports centers on building mental toughness, resilience, and focus through the "5 C's" (Commitment, Communication, Concentration, Control, Confidence). Elite athletes cultivate a winner's mindset by focusing on process-driven goals, using visualization, and maintaining a positive attitude under pressure, rather than obsessing solely over results.

Key Components of a Winning Mindset
  • Mental Toughness: Developing the ability to handle adversity, manage stress, and recover from failures without quitting.
  • Process-Oriented Goals: Focusing on daily preparation, effort, and improvement rather than solely on the outcome.
  • Visualization/Imagery: Mentally rehearsing movements and successful outcomes to boost confidence and reduce anxiety.
  • The 5 C's Framework:
    • Commitment: Dedication to training and long-term goals.
    • Communication: Effective communication with teammates and coaches.
    • Concentration: Maintaining focus on the present moment during competition.
    • Control: Emotional regulation and managing performance anxiety.
    • Confidence: Self-belief in one's skills and abilities.
  • Positive Self-Talk: Using internal dialogue to build confidence and maintain motivation.

Strategies for Building a Champion’s Mindset

  • Structured Routines: Creating consistent pre-game and training routines to foster a calm, focused state.
  • Developing a "Fighter" Spirit: Shifting from a victim mindset to taking personal responsibility, embracing challenges, and persevering through discomfort.
  • Reframing Failure: Viewing losses as learning opportunities rather than defining moments.

The Role of Motivation
  • Intrinsic Motivation: Finding joy, purpose, and personal fulfillment in the sport.

Ultimately, a winning mindset is a choice to train and compete with high intensity, treating mental skills training with the same seriousness as physical training.

What’s the worst cue you’ve ever bought?

Hell if I know. I never investigated beyond trying to tighten it more. I paid $100 for it so, if it was a more expensive brand I probably would have, but I just chalked it up to being a cheaper label and the quality stuff associated with that. I still have the cue in a case so I guess there's still a chance to dig deeper.
