    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    We have ranked tournaments in Quebec, easy to know which class you belong to These tournaments are also very popular here, so it is relatively easy to play against opponents of those calibers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    The truth is I have absolutely no idea how long it takes to get very good at jumping. Haven't practiced it much yet, only enough to be able to touch the ball when in bad position. Jumping reliably is arbitrary a bit I guess. I am already able to jump and touch the ball, but making it is another...

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    Well, I did make some logical goals to get there : A : 1 year AA : 2 years AAA : 3 years SP : 4 years Pro : 5 years So I have to progress by one "rank" per year. I do have some medium term goals also. Being able to jump and make the ball reliably within a year for example (obviously, not...

    So, I made a blog. Will be updated about every month with a quick summary and a new video. Any suggestions will be appreciated! https://progresstoprospeed.wordpress.com/

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    I liked the idea of blog entries. I think I am gonna start a YouTube channel, posting an update roughly every month. 20 racks of 9 ball in a row for every video? I guess that'd give a good idea of the current state of progress. Of course it's not gonna interest many people, but I'm thinking of...

    FREE Streaming TV Matches

    I love watching pool so much I don't even mind paying. So of course I'd like free streams! Instructional videos can also be pretty great.

    I just sent him a message. Not sure which DVD set I should buy based on what I'm looking for in an instructional video. The "Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots" series are looking pretty good. EDIT : Had a brain fart and wrote about HAPS instead of VEPS

    Thanks for the advice! Yeah the money in pool is pretty bad. I should have mentioned on the initial post that my goal was along the lines of playing at a pro level rather than making a living out of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you come here only to point and laugh, then no, I don’t want your opinion. It’s what one stroke has been doing, and it doesn’t contribute to the conversation. Do you think it does? I’ll take the constructive criticism, but telling me I most likely have high school education at most or...

    Haters gonna hate. Not like I’m gonna start believing I can’t achieve pro-level because of bitter old men. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You guys have a serious reading problem. So, for the second time, I didn’t say I’d be as good as him in 5 years, I said given enough time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What was the purpose of that post? As far as I know, you don’t know much about me. Are you insinuating you know who I am and what I do in life based on my intention to become a pro-level pool player at 23? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I said given enough time, not 5 years. Guess I'll have to practice harder than I thought!

    Aiming for pro within 5 years. Realistic?

    Yeah I noticed the source of the confusion after asking my question! The term Pro for a pool player is used loosely in Quebec as in you don't have to win your life playing pool to be a "Pro". About Danny Hewitt and John Morra, I don't think I can become better than them in 5 years. but I do...
