    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I was thinking about my cousin that got a football scholarship and played college football. I don't follow football, but he was an offensive lineman I think they called them. When he pissed off dad he had to dig out the maple and oak tree stumps with a shovel after he cut down the tree when he...

    There's one person on this board that doesn't know me personally, but are good friends with a couple of my family members. They can confirm with them if to verify what I posted isn't BS. Remembering back when I was kid I loved speed skating and usually came in 1st place. One race I collided...

    I apologize for my last post and won't edit it unless asked. If you search about athletes with childhood trauma, you'll get a better understanding if interested. Guys that think the way I practice is abuse, they don't know what abuse is and would probably struggle to keep up. lol

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I had a rough childhood. As far back as I can remember from kindergarten, my life was a living nightmare. Under my circumstances it was learn to focus or else. Just an example of one of the lesser violent things I experienced in childhood. Dad always bought me shoes that were always to big for...

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I'm finally starting to get it what a lot of you have been saying. I'm not a window licker, but I guess I'm a little slow. lol If a coach had me practicing something and wanted me stop after 20 minutes, he'd have to tie me down to a chair. lol I can't remember the age, but I'm guessing around...

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I get that. If you don't have a partner to help set balls back up, you have to stop to set some balls back, that's a break. The average time for a drill is around 3 minutes and about the same or more to reset the balls back up. Same thing when when you rerack a set of balls. Your already getting...

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I finally ran into an article that makes some sense. When I played little league baseball and played the all stars, some players spent most of their time sitting on the bench waiting to be needed. I was always the main pitcher. When they had us running, most of these guys struggled and couldn't...

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    I spent a couple hours researching this online and nothing really popped up with this. The closest I got was with this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_span The most thing that popped up with pro athlete practice sessions was long intense practice sessions. I figured I'd find something...

    Good to hear your figuring it out. You improved in just a couple weeks of work and on your own. Just keep working on it and give it a chance to become natural for you.

    Accurate cue placement-Is it technique or is it talent

    Hi Scott, your a master instructor for a reason and I don't doubt you. But if a person can't focus more than 20 minutes on something they want to master, maybe that deep desire isn't there like they thought. I'd have to set a timer for 20 minutes to get me to stop. When I often look at the time...

    Entry/mid level low deflection cue

    I was brought up around carpenters. I still work on small projects and the family still gets together to remodel our own homes. I believe in having the right tools for the job. If I bought a lathe it would collect dust and don't have room for another hobby. I'm getting ready to put a 4 car...

    Entry/mid level low deflection cue

    I did the same thing when I was younger. I ended up finding out is was easier and wouldn't ruin anymore shafts letting a cue maker or pro cue repairman (forget what you call them) do that kind of work. A buddy of mine and myself modified a shaft to fit on the butt of a Budweiser cue years ago...
