A ton of top level players will probably tell you they got to be outstanding players by practing 6-8 hours a day.

I doubt they did that in 30 minute increments.

This nonsense that you lose focus after 30 minutes is ridiculous.

I think this concept applies to learning new skills like static drills. I do this when I’m working on a specific shot or position. It’s not a replacement for match play though. You still need to incorporate long sessions with an opponent to develop stamina.

Maybe, but the cue is so unremarkable in so many ways that it borders on remarkable in it's unremarkableness.

It could be any entry level cue from anyone, sportcraft to about three thousand makers. It wouldn't surprise me if it was won at a county fair, it wouldn't surprise me if it were the fourth cue that Johan Spondonovich from Schenectady built.

About the only thing it has going for it is the lack of a giant kitty on it

I don't intend to be mean, if the cue plays well, great, it's a fine tool for the job at hand and I wouldn't be embarrassed playing with it. It's a futile exercise to guess who might have made it, because unless Johan sees it and verifies he made it, nobody will ever know for sure.

Or maybe I'm wrong.

You need to have work that will take hours a day. IOW knowledge and commensurate ability. You then break that down into smaller steps which you take at a comfortable pace. Anything over what you actually needed is a waste. Not scaling your total time is a waste. Not improving is a waste. etc...

he missed a pretty easy 9. Jayson had an uncharacteristic amount of misses in the last few frames, not sure if he'd just lost focus or was actually trying to let the guy win a frame.

I remember watching a guy playing Earl the first round at DCC on the TV table. He couldn’t make 3 balls. The guy probably played pretty good when not thrust onto the TV table with a legend.

I’m sure I would feel the same. Now playing a legend on a side table would be awesome.

Property taxes are high in Texas. Did you plant enough pecan trees to qualify for an ag exemption?

My property taxes were over 3k and that was no city taxes, but my age saved me and they've been reduced to 1200$. But the new swimming pool and the pool hall will push them up some! I dont believe i can get an exemption on less than two acres. These are ranchets here in my neighborhood. 2-3 acres.
