So you think "natural talent" is more important than "hard work" in pool? I think this might be the case for some individuals (e.g., a few top pros who don't seem to need to work that hard on their game). But I think for the majority of pool players, hard work trumps talent in a big way.Dave, how have you quantified this? (Ps, I am almost done reading that book myself)
PPS, I think you have it backwards, especially after almost finishing reading that book
#97. Natural talent is more important than hard work.
See the book: "The Sports Gene." For certain sports (e.g., anything involving jumping or speed like some track and field events), this can be true. Also, someone with good eye-hand coordination (e.g., from genetics and/or previous experience with other activities and sports) will have an advantage over someone who is not very coordinated. It also helps to have sharp vision and depth perception. However, practice, experience, and hard work are the most important ingredients of success in pool.
What are some of the biggest myths in pool these days.
I'll start
9-ball is a broken game and 10-ball is much better= myth
1) Pool rooms fail because of bad locations . Poor business practices like not providing free pool and beverages are the down fall of many.
2) Retailers and manufacturers of pool and billiards products are making a killing yet refuse to fund pro events and sponsor the streaming for these events.
