I've been hours on the table, while my girlfriend watched her soaps, practicing nothing but fundamentals (stay down, accelerate through CB, follow through, making sure I shoot straight with no unwanted side spin). I could do that 2-3 hours straight.
Do you practice what you preach?

I'm a huge practice fan also, to the point where I could be an instructor cause there's nothing I can't do in practice, but playing well that's different for some reason. In practice i can pull the trigger right when the concentration meter is at peak but when I play I often miss the timing.
Oh, you're asking if we do what we say in real game situation?
Well, I'd have to say this: I'm doing it most of the time. I'm "known" (locally) for having a nice stroke/fundamentals. That being said, I gotta admit that in some cases, when in stressful situation, I tend to do some basic mistakes (like getting up a bit too quick, my preshot routine sometime skip a step or two without me noticing, etc.).
To me, that says something: The mistakes I make in stressful situation means that it is not yet completly in my sub-conscious. So I'll try to work on these to make it second nature to me.
That's how I approach every new stuff I try to learn. Analyse, practice it consciously, then play not thinking about it, evaluate and cycle over until I do it without thinking about it!
