    thinking about going pro

    Very true. Even so, there was a time I would have tried to overcome the impossible. I looked recently and have decided that the the kid won't get there. Champions have to accept losses well too right? :thumbup:

    thinking about going pro

    I met a guy that told me it will take him sixth months to turn me into a champion. He told me sixth months ago I got another sixth months to go. Every six months I get so much better that I stop myself from straggling him the next sixth months I see him. One shady mothuF-ER.

    No Reason To Peak At Pool

    He's right. You don't peak. It is the nature of your body to become stronger as you age. It's your vital organs that get weak, then you die. Once you are there (regarding pool) there is no turning back, it is with you forever. You don't need good vision to play pool. You just need to get to a...

    No Reason To Peak At Pool

    I don't think that is entirely true. It sounds so genuine and nice to discover all of life's riches, but as you grow whats between your ears, you'll understand that money will keep most of life's troubles away. Some people aren't susceptible because they are beyond well off. But even then, money...

    No Reason To Peak At Pool

    It's just not worth it. The time and health you lose does not equal the money. Your body goes through so much change in the process. Personally, I've spent 1000s of hours, and I'm not even half way there. If I knew this I never would have devoted so much time and money. I could have spent that...

    Break accuracy v. speed - please quantify

    What about moving balls up table and getting a good spread?

    I can't do it. You won't take me alive though.

    Break accuracy v. speed - please quantify

    Thing is...I believe my hit on the cue ball will be better 6 months from now so my accuracy on the break shot will inevitably increase. I don't think holding back on the force I'm able to put behind it, will help with accuracy all that much. I guess sometimes the cueball with get loose but not...

    I've had that happen. The cue fell out my bridge a few times.

    Is there any thread here that doesn't get debated heatedly ?

    Most people don't like being told they are wrong, even if the are.

    Stance Fundamentals

    A good stance is key to body positioning for certain shots. I do not think someone with a bad stance can consistently hit the ball right. Stance fundamentals should not be broken bc we have the same limbs that do the same things to an object that stays constant---cue. You can play this game any...

    Break accuracy v. speed - please quantify

    It's actually a low number. I can go 12 practice strokes for the break shot. Cue ball...one ball.....cueball then I'm in line. Wait...I think its oneball...cueball....no Well whatever pattern you want that works but I'm sure as you zome in on the one, you should close in on the cueball or at...

    Break accuracy v. speed - please quantify

    I think it is very hard to miss the one ball or the stack for that matter if you follow all the rules to a clean hit, especially the break. Guys practice 100s of breaks daily and are used to being in the right spot so they can crank up the power without losing accuracy. I personally do not worry...

    Break accuracy v. speed - please quantify

    I don't see how it matters all that much. The objective is to be in line to the head ball even if you are not trying to concentrate on hitting it dead on. Once you are in line there is very little you can do to mess up a good break. About nine practice strokes is all you need to send the cue...

    What happened to pool?

    Pool players are letting go of their place to be. There never were that many distractions at a pool hall back when people spent more time there. Now, you have all sorts of things that chase would be regulars away.

    The Final Barrier

    If you give us something specific to think about it may help make things easier because there are many mental blocks. Even most of the "Mental" barriers are more physical barriers than they are mental. If it is about spending too much mental energy on pool, there is nothing you can do about it...
