Having been in Olympic time trials, and having had coaches that have won Gold in the Olympics and friends that were in the HOF, life is not as simple as you describe. The land of hard knocks and time/effort and losing and not liking it and not giving up, are at the core of greatness in Anything one does.

That is cool that you have been in Olympic time trials. Congrats for that. But there will never be a world class pool player who does not have a consistently quality and straight stroke, no matter how many battles they have been through.

Are you someone?

What are the traits of "a mind that is capable of both playing pool and learning pool skills"? And just so we know we're on the same page, could you please define "mind" in this context? Using the colloquial definition, it would seem that anyone not in a vegetative state would have a mind as you describe, but that clearly isn't the bar to which you are referring. Please clarify.

Its a relative term that can be adapted to a variety of people. I'm not a "pound my ideas into people" person. Different people can arrive at their own conclusions for this. But it should be considered, and is truthfully the number one fundamental of pocket billiards.

I can only guess that you have not seen many tournament videos. If you want I can start naming names and I am sure other members will add to my list but I think there are not many who have really nice strokes like John Morra, Tyler Styer, Fedor, etc.
Some of the not so nice are Django, Joven Bustamante, etc. They might be repeatable but they are not always or rarely are straight. Its really quite surprising how many top players have a curve in their stroke when you start paying attention.

Watch snooker players, where pocketing balls is much more challenging. You can't have a poor stroke and be a high level snooker player. The laws of nature prove that a superior (straight) stroke, all else equal, makes a superior player.

Well, that information is worth about a hundred bucks less than I paid for it.

When does the 'stop sounding foolish' part begin?

When one speaks, there can facts grounded in truth, and there can also be foolishness, falsehood, etc. I like being sincere and talking about facts, I'm not one to be rabble rousing or causing a stir with profanity or anything similar. This post is for newer players who want to learn the game properly and use their time well.
