Veritasium on becoming an expert

M
The important point is that repeated experiences and timely feed back are critical to making forward progress.

This is why (unlike others here) I focus on the line I want the CB to roll down instead of CB or contact point on OB.
a) if CB does not roll down the chosen line, this denotes a stroke error.
b) if CB rolls down the chosen line and OB does not pot, this denotes an aiming error.
And we are talking about fractions of a millimeter when watching CB roll down that line.
1) any movement in the upper body or head destroys your ability to see the rolling error
2) which destroys your feedback on whether any error was stroke related or aim related.

The Centro I played for a few racks had a nice normal pool taper, like a 314. Definitely not a noticeably strong taper.

As near as I can tell, GMess3000's photo shows the Centro with less pro taper than the C8. This is contrary to Predator's specifications that list the Centro with pro taper and the C8 with ProV taper.

he Predator 314-3 is labeled as a "Pro Taper", and the Predator Vantage is labeled as a "ProV Taper" My understanding is that these are different tapers. The "ProV taper" feels like a cross between a "Pro Taper" and a "Conical Taper". My shop guy got really offended when I tried to say that the 314-3 had a different taper then the Vantage. He insisted that they have the same taper and throwing a "V" infront of the word "Pro" doesn't change anything.

Scammers on this site

As a seller and buyer, I have only ever used check, or postal money order, and just the other day did a sell with zelle. I have no problem sending photos a buyer requests or video calls, I'm an open book. I've only had one purchase of a cue on here go slightly off track, but chose to live with it. If a buyer of what I am selling, or seller of what I want to buy doesn't want to deal with my method of payment, that's ok, not the end of the world. When buying or selling on here I only deal with established members. Twice I've had new members want to buy what I was selling and I told them I don't business with new members. Also when buying I do a search on the picture.
Heck, I have a new condition DZ that I don't use and wouldn't mind selling, but haven't listed it due to some of the crazy stories on here. Sometimes when practicing, I will pick it out of the rack to shoot a game with it just because.

I’ve bought and sold a lot of cues on eBay and FB using goods and services. Only had one scammer and got my money back without much of an issue.
I’ve traded with people that I could verify through other people I trusted.
Have yet to make a deal on here.
Personally, I’m not sending a check or money order to someone I don’t know and I’m not asking someone to send one to me.
I’ll pay the 3 percent to be sure everyone is covered.
I also only ship UPS and will not buy if someone will only ship USPS.
Guess we all make choices
