I thought everyone was on adders/vyvanse and the good buds these days? Why wouldn't you be?
You need much more than 5 players to have real professional pool. Shaun Wilkie is a great player. I knew a couple players that would take Midol before a match. Not sure if it really works, but they say it does.
I grew up and worked in a pool hall as a kid and wasn't even supposed to be in the place. I was about 12 or 13, when I started, and the legal age was to be 21 to even be in the place, without your parent.
During that era, I saw all kinds of people doing all kinds of stuff to supposedly enhance their game. Some people shot lights out and others lights burned out. One of the best "mixture" players in the world a couple years during the time I worked there happened to be from St. Louis. They named a pool award after him. When he got "right", he didn't miss.
The owner of the pool hall I worked in used to tell me, "I'm going to get a little AIMING OIL" when he got in a close money game with somebody. He would go mix a "Seagram's VO and Coke"...that was his "aiming oil".
For hours, yes.
But for years? No.

Obviously just for hours lol. But here is the wild thing about drugs Jeff...you can take them more than once. Maybe you play really slow and your matches last for years. Mine don't.

thank you for finally revealing how to get my game to the next level.
going down the street corner.
be right back. :wink:
Slow play em for hours if they are jacked up....if your skill levels are close I like your chances after a few hours. If you opponent chose to speed things up, it's only fair play if you choose to slow things down, if your able.
There are plenty of champs, who if they didn't take their meds, would drop down from world class consistency, to shortstop speed.
They would still play great. They just wouldn't play "perfect"
I don't think ANYONE can stand a slow player so just make sure you win the first set otherwise they may just quit ya winners after one set.
Shaun could take all the drugs and he would still be a 2nd tier pro
big difference between 8th and 16th or 16th and 32nd when you're a 2nd tier pro trying to make a living.
do you really think guys aren't, on a regular basis, looking to get the edge and bridge the gap chemically?
what percentage of a typical pro event's field would you classify as 2nd tier pros trying to make a living and not a trophy?
