RIP Scott. Haven't been on here for a long time and see this. Scott Lee was a very good man. Condolences and prayers to his family.

I was thinking about my cousin that got a football scholarship and played college football. I don't follow football, but he was an offensive lineman I think they called them. When he pissed off dad he had to dig out the maple and oak tree stumps with a shovel after he cut down the tree when he...

There's one person on this board that doesn't know me personally, but are good friends with a couple of my family members. They can confirm with them if to verify what I posted isn't BS. Remembering back when I was kid I loved speed skating and usually came in 1st place. One race I collided...

I apologize for my last post and won't edit it unless asked. If you search about athletes with childhood trauma, you'll get a better understanding if interested. Guys that think the way I practice is abuse, they don't know what abuse is and would probably struggle to keep up. lol

I had a rough childhood. As far back as I can remember from kindergarten, my life was a living nightmare. Under my circumstances it was learn to focus or else. Just an example of one of the lesser violent things I experienced in childhood. Dad always bought me shoes that were always to big for...

I'm finally starting to get it what a lot of you have been saying. I'm not a window licker, but I guess I'm a little slow. lol If a coach had me practicing something and wanted me stop after 20 minutes, he'd have to tie me down to a chair. lol I can't remember the age, but I'm guessing around...

I get that. If you don't have a partner to help set balls back up, you have to stop to set some balls back, that's a break. The average time for a drill is around 3 minutes and about the same or more to reset the balls back up. Same thing when when you rerack a set of balls. Your already getting...

I finally ran into an article that makes some sense. When I played little league baseball and played the all stars, some players spent most of their time sitting on the bench waiting to be needed. I was always the main pitcher. When they had us running, most of these guys struggled and couldn't...

I spent a couple hours researching this online and nothing really popped up with this. The closest I got was with this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_span The most thing that popped up with pro athlete practice sessions was long intense practice sessions. I figured I'd find something...

Good to hear your figuring it out. You improved in just a couple weeks of work and on your own. Just keep working on it and give it a chance to become natural for you.

Hi Scott, your a master instructor for a reason and I don't doubt you. But if a person can't focus more than 20 minutes on something they want to master, maybe that deep desire isn't there like they thought. I'd have to set a timer for 20 minutes to get me to stop. When I often look at the time...

I was brought up around carpenters. I still work on small projects and the family still gets together to remodel our own homes. I believe in having the right tools for the job. If I bought a lathe it would collect dust and don't have room for another hobby. I'm getting ready to put a 4 car...

I did the same thing when I was younger. I ended up finding out is was easier and wouldn't ruin anymore shafts letting a cue maker or pro cue repairman (forget what you call them) do that kind of work. A buddy of mine and myself modified a shaft to fit on the butt of a Budweiser cue years ago...

They look like nice cues. I've never hit any with a Predator cue yet. Normally when someone asks me if I want to try out their cue, I say no thanks. That way no feelings are hurt when I don't let them try mine. To many guys smack the balls around out of habit with their cues. I'll let my wife...

It's an open discussion and I'm not judgmental of most people. My cloth still has some life in it yet, but the humidity has been higher with all the rain. I guess to go back shooting that shot like king kong. lol

Thank you Patrick. That's the answer I was looking for.

If I'm going to shoot a shot with the object ball a couple inches from the corner pocket and the cue ball is a couple inches from the opposite pocket at other end of the table. Say I want to draw the cue ball straight back to around where the cue ball originated on a 9ft table. If you had a cue...

I've never put much thought into it until recently. I always end up taking the weight bolt out of cues. For some reason I like the feel of it better. I'm thinking of buying the mezz weight bolt set just to experiment. Anyone have any knowledge about different weights and the why's? This will...
