I hear a lot of stories about shanes practice time being legendary, and that he spends a lot of time practicing, and i like that sort of thing. Does anyone know how much he really practices? and what does he practice? thanks for feedback just curious practice stories inspire me.

Here is an interview I did with him. http://www.theactionreport.com/svbinterview.html
I have heard you have some good information to offer. Why do you make dumb ass mean posts like this when someone asks a question that has nothing whatsoever to do with you or your holy grail aiming system?halhoule said:
Do you have any idea how it makes you look?
Some people just dont care Justin sadly.A guy comes on here curious just looking to start a thread about something he is interested in and gets hammered.Sorry Hal,I am a nice guy but red rep for you.JCIN said:
Agreed

I'm just guessing (really) that his point is,"its not how much,but how."
Which leads to "how much" being about as pointless as bathroom trips.
Again,just my guess.
Hal is a man of few,often quite confusing words,but I think I get this one lol.
FWIW I WILL not be leaving red rep,because my policy is "auto rep for belly laughs" and I gotta say,that harsh ass reply pulled a pretty good chuckle outta me just because of the WTF factor lol.
Wow.

I see where you are coming from here Thunderball but I do believe the harshness came about with Hal's quote "Get a life"
Oh,believe me,I get it.
Not suggesting anyone else will think its funny either,but for me it just caught me in one of those "Holy shyatt,WTF??!!LOL" kinda a moments because it was so brash.
Hell,I might be wrong about the intent...I don't know the man from ribdoner.
hi
im sure he has spurts where he practices alot .
we all did at one time.
believe though none of the pros practice half as much as people think.
its just when they do hit balls i think its more quality than quantity.

John Schmidt: Thanks for the enlightening comments. Your "quality vs quantity" comment fits well with something Shawn Putnam said a while back. He said that if he was having an off day, he would quit and go home.
Me, I stay at the table in an attempt to "get my stroke back". That's a significant difference that probably is the basis of the strong mental game that good players exhibit.
By trying to play thru my bad times, I'm probably planting seeds of doubt that inhibit my ability to improve.

He did that right before the US Open last year. Part of his regimen includes training like a professional athlete.
I remember when he was a kid, he carried himself with an air of confidence. He believed he was a professional before he was one. He'd joke with us, "outta my way, a professional is coming through." And even though it was a joke, he already believed that he was one.
I've known him for a long time, and when I break down in my discipline of training, I think about his training before the US Open, then I get back out to my Cave and pile more rocks.
I've heard interviews with Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry where they've both made essentially the same comment.
When they were coming up in the game they practiced long hours (6-8 hours per day).
But after some time at their peak, their best results came with shorter higher focuses sessions of an hour or two.
Though occaissionally they'd hit some long sessions. Would help for grooving the stance, endurance etc. I guess.
I assume it's the same for pool players. It might take thousands of hours to grasp many aspects of the game, then just some focused sessions to keep the game tuned. Practicing for too long can make concentration wane.
