How Common Is This?

It's call Old Age Lou, you not kid any more. Age gracefully, enjoy that you get to Play Pool, realize as you age you don't heal as fast as you did at 20, body don't woke like when 20, CHILL.

Nope.

I just turned 72 and other than some occasional knee and hip pain I'm in pretty good shape and see the balls, post cataract surgery, better than I ever have.

When you consider every factor that affects a pool stroke from initial PSR right through the final release of the cue- it is easy to imagine one or more of the components possibly coming off the rails unconsciously.

I like constant video feedback ( simple I phone and tripod )that can be done almost anywhere. This will really help to isolate the problem if it is a physical issue causing your poor play.

I agree with this.

There are a lot of parts -- from your feet on up -- that all have to be in proper position to execute precision pool. One gremlin and it all goes kablewee.

It's happened once or twice, that it was bad enough I basically played one rack and packed my stuff and went home.

In my experience, it's usually outside forces affecting my game or focus on the game. Bad day at work? I shot the worst match of my life after the worst day of work in my life.

It's never stuck around for consecutive days, so I've never liked calling it a slump.

Yes, I think on occasion it can be outside stuff.

Something at home or work, maybe just obnoxious players nearby, or the music on the juke box.

Cynergy shaft issues

Your standards aren't just unrealistic they are impossible. Every manufactured product has tolerances and the op's are well within what a mass produced object will have. Now, knowing you're the same guy that sweats micro-micro-micro weight differences in a shaft this doesn't surprise me. I really feel sorry for any contractors you had do work for you.

It's impossible to argue with people who are both confident and ignorant.
