MAYBE SLOW PLAYERS WILL GET THE MESSAGE

M
People who play slow when it seems there is nothing to be really contemplating probably do it in other areas of their lives. They are procrastinators. It's who they are. I'm not sure they can change.
Also, if they are good players and have found success in their slow play I would not expect them to change.
Many people don't trust their own instincts and constantly reexamine everything. They fear making mistakes. Lots of reasons and not all they need to be condemned for.
I would not take it personal.

Relaxed vs raised shoulder?

Well, there are those that say you need perfect mechanics to play well. Then again there’s a lot of great players that have quirks or flaws in their mechanics, solid proof that if you play 6,8,10 hours a day you can make anything work.

As mentioned in a previous post, it’s finding something that you can produce repeatedly, the same every time, and be comfortable doing it. That’s what this game is all about, repeatability.

You mention having “your chin right over the cue” being a “good habit”, according to who? I mean, there’s a shit ton of instructors that are of the belief the “SPF” method they teach as the be all, end all, “proper way”. I personally don’t understand how a stroke can be fluid with a pause introduced into it, it seems diametrically opposed IMO.

Everyone’s different, I have a very upright stance, one feather stroke and then I’m at the ball, and I’ve been told I can dab it pretty good. My point is, phrases you used in your OP, “most good players” do this or that is fallacy to a point. Most good players have a repeatable stroke, stay down, and get through the shot fully. Eddie Taylor used to say “be true and follow through”.

I like having my chin over the cue because it gives me the most ideal sight line in my experience

This Is What I'm Talking About

Never higher than 30-35% and only a select few were capable of that. I've been watching pro pool a long time. I stand by my 25% average amongst all professional players.

There are levels to everything.

Among the elites the percetages are much higher.

Gorst has had break and run percentages of 39 and 41% in long races.

SVB has crested 40% in many of his long races.

Orcullo, Filler, Bergman....

I know short stops who break 25% routinely.

Even with break rules changes....pros gave adjusted and their runout percentages have increased.
