If there were shortcuts to greatness no one would suck!

THere are shortcuts, but the problem is that they don't work forever...

I saw days of incredible pool executed by a guy that was smoking PCP and drinking beer like it was oxygen. Anybody wanna argue that PCP should be used by humans? It should not.

yeah , i was hoping to keep this discussion to performance enhancing not mind altering recreational. i'm sure 90% of poolpaplyers are on something recreational.

im talking athletes who want to be the best, work hard and use chemicals right.
 
Right on...........Ditto

Up up and away and you might just become up up and out of here?

Hard work is the way to go for sure. No second option.............

I believe there is enough evidence to show that steroids increase an athletes abilities in pretty much any sport they are used in, maybe this can result in a harder break, eagle eye vision, the ability to play longer without getting tired, any competitive edge. what ever sport it is, it seems like those on steroids are superhuman, the best of the best. why not in pool?

The skill set in pool is more finesse and not raw power. Steroids will not help your pool game, in fact I would bet it would hurt it more than anything.

these drugs are used by all athletes at any level of sport, look at the olympics, there's doping stories from weightlifting, running, diving, curling.

Totally incorrect, while there are several athletes that use steroids it is unfair to say "all" and it smacks of ignorance.

Who knows maybe some of the pool pros are already doping. That strickland fellah seems to have had rage issues.

This comment is irresponsible at best. Earl may have his issues but to make a accusation like that is just mean. Earl lost his temper = he must have roid rage? :rolleyes:

But the break is what separates th eboys from the girls and thats mostly all about power.

my apologies please strike the word all from the record, replace with top 95% or the cream of the crop.

i apologize again, i can be irresponsible at times, but we didn't know tiger woods was on the juice either, or most other pro athletes, until they were caught. jury is still out on Strickland. he probably just has alot of passion though

For what its worth I don't think the break is all about power. I guessing that you are talking about the 9ball break. You can hit it as hard as you want but without control you will never be successful.

It's all about control, not power imho.

Power is over-rated.

so im guessing you are not from the school of thought that says women pros are not as good as male pros too. Why even have 2 different categories??

if it was ALL about control as you have stated then there shouldn't be any argument about which sex is better.

I think men break harder, and have a chance to run out more often, and have a little more in the artilery due to the extra range of power. An increase in a mans power and the ability to heal, should further separate the steroid using athlete from the non steroid using athlete.

Not all steroid users are muscle meat heads. cyclists, runners, swimmers, most legitimate sports and competitions have already been impacted by the chemical using athletes.

To think a person is inferior based solely on gender is idiotic.

I think women have the potential to be just as good as men in pool. I dont think that mans genetic predisposition to have better upper body strength gives them an edge in playing pool. Not one bit. Because I believe that pool is not about power.

I got a feeling that, someday, a women is going to put you in your place and show you that finesse, control, intelligence and experience trumps raw strength in this game.

If you think I'm wrong then go find a female pro and test your theory against her for $1000.00 a set. You might discover a flaw in your thinking.

I can break a rack of 9 ball harder than anyone that I have played against but you will rarely see me break at full power. I have studied this quite a bit and I have found that a well controlled break is far better than all out power. If you think I am wrong than consider this, do you hit every shot at full power? If you answered no, why not?

I think the break shot should only be hit with power to the point that you don't sacrifice accuracy and control.

They are the same thing. You are trying to draw a false line.

I did research in anabolic steroids so I understand them very well. But of course, I understand drugs in general very well, and understand their mechanisms very well.

The additional mistake that people make is claiming or believing that the popularly marketed "supplements" are not drugs. They are.

I can convey a great deal of information on the matter but that would degrade this to a lecture.

Let's just say in plain language the stuff is garbage and you will do yourself harm if you engage in such activities.
 
At what point would your success stop coming from you and start coming from the juice? Even in something like pool, the pursuit of the ideal stack would soon eclipse the pursuit of better technique.
