Over-thinking and being Over-Techincal

Knew you couldn't link to anything, just call more names and spout off more crap. So sad.:(

So tell me, what part of all of your quotes doesn't attempt to belittle someone?

You think too highly of yourself.

That statement tells me that you don't understand how to practice correctly, or what the purpose of practice actually is. Practice is not playing, and playing is not practice.

That's true for actual playing. The practice table is where you learn to do things so that they become automatic when playing. Show me a guy that takes a while to shoot each shot, and I'll show you a guy that doesn't understand how to practice correctly.

I don't know everything, never even implied that I do. (unlike some others on here).
Why don't you just stop trolling me? Also, your little reference there makes no sense at all. Just goes to show you have zero understanding of what I actually said, but just saw me post so you just had to get in your little slam.

Yes, I will say that Charlie doesn't know how to practice correctly. That does not mean that he does not know how to play. If he practiced correctly, he wouldn't need to take so long to shoot.

You will also find that very few of the pros actually practice. They play a lot instead. SVB is one of the few that does actually practice.

You only think it is dumb because you don't understand what I stated.

Yes, a good part of it is changing their belief system, basically, how they think. Proper practice can change that. Those that don't believe that is true, also then by default have to believe that we are who we are and cannot make changes in who we are or what we believe about ourselves. Proper practice goes beyond just shooting a ball in a hole.

Way too much to go into on here, Fran.

Maybe you should just pm her and have her explain it more to you so you can understand it.:wink:

Very typical from you. Don't even spend one second thinking about what I said, and how it might benefit you. Instead spend your time insulting and degrading me. And of course, just had to throw that jab in at CTE also. Really sad there, Colin. (still waiting for you to top my score on YOUR test)

When you stop being so polarized into taking sides, maybe then you can be open enough to actually read something without putting a lot of words into someones mouth that were never said. You talk about single mindedness, yet that is exactly what you did here.

None of it is belittling. Sorry you can't understand what I wrote without your biases.:(

There you go again.

You are telling everyone they don't understand. We do understand. We understand that you think you are right and we are wrong. So with that, I will leave this:

Of course I think I am right. Why else would I post it? That isn't belittling in the least. Really sad that you think sharing info. is belittling. What have you offered to show that I wasn't right, other than name calling and insults and lies?
 
Yea, you mad.

Edit -

I'm curious why you want me to back up my statements. I only stated that I'm a C player at best. Do I need to prove I can make a ball to be a C player, like you?

Did you mean that you're a C player or he's a C player? I'm thinking there's a typo in that last post. You're about as much of a C player as I am, my friend...:)

They are both C players beating up on a 7 footer. Though I do prefer Dave's shooting, he's more fluid and automatic, Neil takes really long on all his shots and doesn't seem as confident in his abilities as Dave. You guys should both post videos on a 9 footer to prove yourself to each other.

Kris <------ definitely a C player... On any table...

You try playing with severe COPD and see how fast you can still play. ;)

Well if this is the Dave I've practiced with, he's not a C player. Maybe I've got the wrong Dave?

Thank you, for the kind words!

I've been meaning to find the time to get out and record some footage on a 9ft. Most likely it will be a pro cut Diamond 9ft (pretty much all we have in NOLA) and all the critics can eat their hearts out.

So, do you play slow, because of a disease? Or do you play slow, because you practice right? I'm confused. I think you are confused too.

Well if this is the Dave I've practiced with, he's not a C player. Maybe I've got the wrong Dave?

Don't think it is the same Dave, Fran. He is from NOLA.

Yep. Well, close to NOLA anyway. I'm in New Orleans 5-6 days a week, but reside elsewhere.

Go ahead and make fun. I play slow now because I can't hardly breathe. I used to play much faster.

LOL ---- Not the Dave M that I was thinking of, but I was half-right. You're no C player. You shoot very well. I bet you could hold your own just fine on a 9-footer.

I'm not making fun. Health issues are nothing to joke about, but you used your health condition as an excuse for playing slow, when early you were telling everyone about how practicing improperly results in slow play. Just because you think your opinion is gospel, doesn't mean you are right.

Whether I shoot fast or slow, it does not matter if I can pot balls and run out consistently.

Lionel Richie meme's are always good for a laugh! :grin:

And thank you!

And somehow, you see the two as related.?? Yes, it's painful for me to even watch some of those videos. But, what you can't see, is me trying to get enough air to be able to bend over long enough to shoot. When I am bent over the table, it makes it very hard to breathe, and then one looses focus rather quickly. I'm thankful that I can still play even a little.

Maybe some day you will understand about proper practice, but you will have to change your know it all attitude first.

Fran asked you to enlighten us and you declined. Get out of here with YOUR know it all attitude. Since you won't tell Fran, how about you allow me to understand what YOU think is proper practice?

You are basically telling us we all need proper practice and expecting us to understand what you mean. Different strokes for different folks. What you believe is gospel, is bologna to me.

Nah, go ahead with your know it all attitude. You aren't here to learn anything, just to troll and pick things apart.
