I really appreciate the analogy because I used to play baseball through high school and adult league in my 20s and 30s. Ken Griffey Jr had one of the purest swings baseball has ever seen. Im not sure how to incorporate that into my pool stroke

Nature and Nurture are what leads to being the Greatest old goat. OF ALl Time.
The body builders put in the reps.
Some of us not quite The Natural but put in the reps.....could hang with 'em. Well for a little while.
Greating the adrenaline rush ON THE NATURAL! ooops didn't mean to shout. is exhilarating enough for me.
Getting the mind right before battle is something that Coach McHargue taught us in high school . He took the football team that hadn't won A game in years to 31 straight victories. We had a week to prepare.
Maximize the accuracy of the strike and as a small center move or control much larger opponents. The big ones were easy. My toughest battle was a middle guard that was smallish. Jiu-jitsu is a valuable training.

Oh I see. You want burns

I love it! Once again, you've lived a life most folks can't even dream about.
I can recognize Tommy Lee Jones, but I don't know the third fellow.

If this were actual spliced points, I'd consider it.

Playing pool doesn’t cost me much especially when you compare to golf or fishing.
I would buy a cue every year or two and after 50 years I now have a collection.
I play with them all on my home table.

After all these years and now I find out CJ was playing disk pool.

Guy made a short vid to teach this to a beginner. Place a ball about 8-10 inches straight out from the side pocket. Line up to shoot it straight into the pocket. One practice stroke then pause at the ball and push it all the way into the pocket with the tip of the cue. It is supposed to teach the muscle memory of going through the ball and the extension after. It has helped a couple new players.
