Practice what I Preach

Good morning Tuesday 4.21.uh is it 26? Really? Oh how the time Flys when you're having fun.
Snooker is ongoing with Ronnie coming up shortly.
The slow start for the old fart produced an interesting result that would vex me trying to repeat. This first shot of the Chase executed while standing and pre stretch and flex. The 10 second timer photo gives a first squat oh the day.

Attempting to cut the 1 ball to the right Lefty missed completely to the left but whitey came back to rest adjacent the launch pad. One handed of course. 🤷‍♂️
Almost time for Ronnie show, gotta go. 😉

Meucci original for retirement player

This one hasn't been refinished, and would be least expensive. Truly, out of all the cues I've bought, this is the best shaft. No staining at all. I was planning white/green wrap to complement the emerald in the points.

(Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

Old age and medical issues

These are two different things, one the system handles fine and the other it sometimes doesn't.

Normal decline with age is gradual, and provided the player keeps getting games into the system it is tracked fine.
I'll give you two players with more than 10,000 games in the system as examples, Johnny Archer and me (I'm 69).
End of 2021: Johnny Archer 771, Mike Page 613
now: Johnny Archer 751, Mike Page 594
And in 2017 I was 625. I think 594 is about where I play now.

Medical issues issues can involve a gradual decline that is tracked and also precipitous decline that isn't. A stroke can be an example of the latter. A common situation is medical issues affect stamina, such that a player can play close to normal but not with a long grind.

For you in particular, I hope you stay as healthy as you can and continue to enjoy playing pool for a long time. I'm sure it was frustrating to get beat by that sub 600. But rather than concluding that is your new normal, I encourage to look more broadly and positively at your record. For instance, the other sub 600 player you faced in that tournament you beat 7-2. And in the same tournament you beat a 625 7-4.

You've played 7 tournaments in the last two years and your match results about match your rating.
Well then I guess I’ll be a non competitive 637 for life. Because at 66 I’ll never get back to where I was. Thanks.

Lee Pepper Sneaky

Ah, the infamous Lee Peppers! I got (actually received it) one of his titlist conversions. It looks and plays really nice.
Since he has either no name recognition, or bad recognition, after how he finished up his cue making career I wouldn’t think there would not be a lot of value.
Just a WAG without pictures, but a sneaky with one shaft 300-400?
