Lol, all criticism huh? What am I in NPR? No suggestion of your own on shot routine? No, you'd have to charge us all for that. Dean please post any insight you have on the game. I too learned to quiet the mind long ago playing golf, same thing applies in pool.

Have fun with it and trash talk back. Let it motivate you. When it's done blatantly and loud, if you're down on your shot, get up, walk around the table and start your psr again. If they do it again, repeat. That's what got a friend to stop talking trash at me when I was down on the shot...

I remember John being here just a bit. Nice looking cases, for the money they better be top notch. I never got into it with John. There were already plenty of people doing that. That's just it. I don't really remember the subject of disagreements(other than CTE and his cases made in china)...

Understatement of the year and even though it's only 1/5/20, I think it'll hold.

I can't speak for them, but I've played a few guys who were up there in digits who still played the game quite well. By up there in digits, I'm talking 80 and up. Bucky Bell is up there, guessing mid to late 70s now, maybe older. I saw him playing at our local tourney just a few years back. He...

I see no difference in behaviour from NPR to Main. I don't believe it was NPR that ran John off. I thought the main thing that turned John off was the debate about CTE aiming. Didn't PJ and him have quite the debate? Or was it someone giving him crap about his cases made in china?

Lol, I dont see fly fishing as an elevation of my angler status whatsoever. That's funny. Just a different way to fish. I am on no pedestal because I fly fish. Casting w a fly rod isn't nearly as tough as most think it is. But yeah, it's a little different than twirling a cat toy. Like I said...

I used to think that too. Then I got an inexpensive fly rod combo. I'm on a trout creek with at least 20 fish rising to eat bugs off the top of the water in front of me and they wouldn't touch any of my hardware. The next day I was out with the fly rod and my first gorgeous Brook trout I caught...

Clearly created by someone who knows nothing about fly fishing. Where's my night crawlers?

I was recommending that to jeffj2h since he's already tried doing it himself.

Lol :lmao: Don't disagree w tft, red rep will come your way, fool.

Clean it up and try a clear 2 part epoxy. Needs to be secured well while it's curing. Even though it will set in 5-30 minutes, leave it alone for 24 hours.

Physical attributes is not talent. If I play basketball, being 6'5" is not talent in any way.

I find it to be reality. If you don't have those things, you won't make it. You won't put in the time to learn, to practice, to become more. A person can be great with no "natural talent", but no one is great without the drive. Many times people who are great are just labeled as being gifted...

I like the discussions about the game in general. How to get better, practice routines, strategy, safety play, things that happen during matches. That sort of thing mainly. I do post heavily in NPR. I do love pool though and play just about everyday. I have no desire to own an expensive cue...

Nope, not saying everyone is equal physically. I'm saying they don't have to be gifted in that, they can still be great. 1000s of stories through time of people overcoming odds. I would say many pros, regardless of sport overcame great odds to be where they are. One person may have the...

I don't buy into the natural talent thing. To me that's an excuse for those who aren't great. Like it's some mysterious gift that only certain people have and if you weren't born with it, you'll never be that great. Bullsh!t. It also imo, disrespects the person that is great. It diminishes the...

Lol, no I didn't. Highly doubt I'll even own a reproduction, of the few I've seen, not a fan.

Yeah, I am that clueless. The only cues I know anything about are super cheap cues and some lower cost production cues. I go into second hand stores and shop cues. 90% of the time they are Chinese junk that someone bought at a department store. I can recognize a poorly made stick and I can...

You would think, but no. I was tempted to buy a Jackpot cue. I like simple design cues but can't buy something unseen. I may have heard of Tascarella before, but before now, no idea really of what they are. I could have gotten that Tascarella and not known it was not the right cue. Of...
