If we assume that beginner/lower-skilled players usually need to work on physical aspects ("fundamentals") of the game, and then progress to-and-through tactics/strategy for mid-tier play, what is it that you would say high-skilled, or even professionals need to improve? I would guess "mental toughness" is something, but what else? Once a very high level is reached, is simply maintaining that level the biggest thing--assuming diminished returns for improvement?

Players at all skill levels should work on their weaknesses and push their comfort zone to see the most improvement, and at a high level that's going to be things like kicking, jumping, fine tuning cue ball control, being able to adjust to equipment fast, and of course a ton of mental game work to stay focused. Fundamentals / mechanics help with all of the above, so every player could be more precise with their tip contact point and timing of their swing, even at the highest levels.
