Depends on the player. Once they have some fundamentals to work with, that can take a few months to get down, they can progress pretty quickly to the level of competent status. I used to run a lot of amateur tournaments so I am not just guessing I have a pretty good sampling of players to judge from.As asked in the subject!

I started playing when I was 15 and by the time I was 18 I was able to hang with the big boys and give them a run for their money on a regular basis. Then came a woman (will save you from the horror story of her pawning my SE Falcon) Here I am 27 and just played my first year of league since I was 18 and MAN!!! I can run a few racks, but I do so many boneheaded things on the table. Missing easy combos or over running an easy positional shot. Its like I have it, but it disappears in an instant. My buddy got me into pool again after I moved on to greener pastures and the line he gave me was "It's like riding a bike" I can say I am half the player I used to be and I hope it doesn't take 3 years to learn it all again. Anyone else have a layoff and got back on the tables and have the same problem?
If it ever happens I'll let ya know
It took me several years of intense effort to become a fair pool player. I was maybe the world's worst when I started. Took me six months to start breaking even on beers in bars. Things progressed pretty steadily for the first couple of years. Then I kinda held where I was at for a few years. Then I put in another two to three years of intense effort to become a pretty good player. Took me another twenty years to become a bad player!
Main influences on my game: Willie Mosconi just watching him, Old Joe for teaching me patience in the chair the hard way, Bobby S just for trying to hold up my end of things on the road together, and Jessie M, the only person that actually showed me much of significance.
