I think most people have enough hand eye coordination to play pool well. The thing is that they dont realize how precise they actually need to be in set up and picking the spot to strike on the cue ball. Pros take so much more time finding that spot than amateurs. Then they hit that spot...

Awhile back I read a book called GYRA golf. I think it was $2 on amazon kindle. It talks about the different brain waves and how they relate to golf. Interesting stuff for sure. Quieting my mind while playing pool is a struggle. Play great when it is quiet and then miss even a simple shot...

I was curious so went to digitalpool and looked up the performance rating for Sofia at three fairly recent WPBA events. 689, 687, and 685. I don't think the 638 is even close to her current level of play. She is only 16. I believe she will be a top US player before she turns 21.

you should watch all of these if you havent already. This one shows you how to put it on the first time.

just call it a christmas present for yourself.

And that is why we keep playing. Chasing the feeling of playing our best again and again.

I was in the bleachers during that shot. Pretty crazy it hung up. He was smiling pretty much the whole time there. Didnt seem anything like he was in the past. Came with some great shots but came up short vs Sky and SVB. Got right on top of that ball and one other. Didnt recall him...

Well, you are kind of insulting people who spend more than $300 on a cue. People who do may be more likely to be bothered by grammar mistakes. I spent over 2k on my playing cue and I did so because I want to enjoy my cue if I am going to spend so much time playing with it. I could run racks...

I seem to remember Earl missed a relatively easy 9 ball when he had huge lead on day 3 and then it turned into the Efren show for quite a while.

I have heard before that the elbow cannot be below your jumping hand for it to be legal. Not able to find a rule stating that but I assumed that is why pros don't dart.

I play my best when I am not trying. Just make the ball and play shape until the game is over. No thinking about anything. One time I was playing a friend and wasnt paying attention. While he is racking he says you havent missed a ball in 30 minutes. Of course I missed the next shot. That is...

That's the only one I know.

I wonder if it was really Jacob. He has always seemed like a stand up guy to me.

I was curious so searched google. A different link said that Tiger was a +8 before he turned pro. I'd think most of these players would be in the +9 to+11 range if tour conditions were factored in. In 2015, Golf Digest had Dean Knuth, former Senior Director of Handicapping for the USGA...

Rickie was one of the players at the course I worked at. I played with him a number of times when he was a junior. The other was Brendan Steele who kept the handicap. A lot of his rounds tracked weren't on pga tour or even natiowide conditions. I'd imagine most scratch golfers would have...

Definitely depends on the league. APA it is probably true. BCA leagues here it is probably 550+before some respect and how much depends on how much over 550. 600s are pretty good but nowhere near the best players.

I feel like your comparisons are pretty accurate overall. I would say top players on pga tour are probably +8 or better though. I was an assistant pro at a course where several who ended up being pga tour pros played. One kept a handicap and he was a +7 while competing on the nationwide tour...

I was talking to Aranas once and he said you have no idea how exhausting it is to play 800 speed consistently. I think he was referring to what you said.

I mean the original post says SVB has won 20 US Open titles. Maybe one day the others will get the prestige associated with 9 ball US Open but I don't consider them US Opens until then. Heck, half the players from the 10 ball didn't even stay for the rest of the events. Winning one of those...

What I find crazy is the number of players who dropped 30-70 points in a two year period.
