Stevie Moore shaking

I couldn't miss this thread! ;)
Alcohol slows/stops them for me. I'm not saying that is a good thing.
Some days are better than others. Some are so bad that I can't even remove the rack from the balls without scattering them.
It can come on in the blink of an eye . :embarrassed2:

Has anyone that suffers tremors found strengthening exercises to alleviate the symptoms? Or is there anything that has been prescribed that was helpful?

Propranolol...beta blockers. I was prescribed them for public speaking (I used to do extemporaneous speaking in front of large audiences for long periods of time). I later found them to be super helpful w/ pool and small tremors.

Thanks Spider, I have had some issues in the last six months which seem to come and go. My Dad and Grandfather both had Parkinson's so I'm concerned about that possibility. I have an annual physical this summer and that is tops on my list to discuss. I currently take no medication for anything and will be 61 this summer so I guess it's time something went wrong.. Guess I'll give the doc something to do besides the usual, LOL!!!

This forum is better than conspiracy theory sites. A guy shakes a little in his match and all of the sudden he is a possible alcoholic, has a chronic disease or a horrible injury.
How about a little touch of the nerves, combined with adrenalin while playing the number one player for the championship.

Well if you must know. I have seen Stevie play for some 8years. He has a condition that makes his arm shake. Mike Coltrain had it as well. It's not conspiracy. It's just that. But it's definitely not nerves.
 
No way

Your Opinion makes to much common sence.
And it very much lacks drama.


You will never be famous with replies like that.
Rule #1 if there are no rumors............ start one
Rule # 2 if there is already a rumor, stir it up some more,

For Gods sake man the last thing we need is common sence around here!

What he needs is hipnosissssssssssssssssexs :thumbup:

I just watched the 2012 US bar table championship finals with Stevie and SVB. I noticed Stevie's back hand shaking. Is it nerves or does he have a condition (Parkinson's maybe) that causes this? I checked his website and he doesn't reference any issues.

he got bit by a dog and caused nerve damage.
 
Well I was bitten by a dog as a youngster, but that has nothing to do with it. I got those tremors around 2003. I quit pool once because of it. It's really a mental hurdle, because you are not nervous, or scared at all, but the fact that your arms are trembling for no reason takes away from your focus. It's especially embarrasing if you miss a shot with the opponent right behind you focusing on your hand shaking all over the place. I've known tons of people who have had something similar. Stevie doesn't take anything for it, he turned to Yoga. I asked Nick about it before, because I had it too.. He came back with "Sounds like a problem"... But later explained that he had always had it since the top of his career. So explains his final delivery stroke.

Junior Brown

I ran with Cliff "Junior" Brown for several years and no one beat him on the bar table. He also would shake in his rib cage when he got in stroke, I would then always raise the bet because I knew when those ribs were shaking, Junior was in DEAD STROKE !:grin::wink::grin:
 
This has been covered like a million times already if you'll do a search. It's called Focal Task Tremors. Stevie has always had this shake for as long as I've known him but it doesn't affect his game. Mike Coltrane was diagnosed with this and went to every high profile doctor in North Carolina including Duke University, UNC, etc...and there is little that can be done as his is much more severe than Stevie's.

I talked with him at length about it when it first started to take him off of the tourney trail and he was working for his dad. That was around late 2001 when myself and Shannon Daulton travelled to Raleigh to play golf with him. What is odd is that it doesn't or didn't affect his golf swing at all. Just something about the position of holding the cue that hindered the nervous system at that angle and caused the tremors.
