In my own case I agree with what you have posted. I probably have not spent the time required to to regularly hit the cueball where it needs to be struck. I will continue on this path. Thank you.
On the other hand I am 74 years old and when I was 25 to 30 I could actually draw the cue ball table length and farther if I was within 3 feet of the object ball. Now 5 or 6 feet is the norm. If I am much further 1 or possibly 2 feet is about it.
I play at the senior center in my small. We have several pretty good players here. One of them didn't have his cue one day and he played with my break/jump stick which has a phenolic tip. That day he was able to power draw the cue ball all over the 9 foot table. Since that day I decided it...
