I have noticed that almost everyone plays pool on the peter principle, we reach our level of incompetence then all moves although they may seem to give immediate improvement soon turn out to be a lateral movement.
What do you do when you're not seeing results. I know for a fact that I put in more time than most on my fundamentals and practice and I'm frustrated that I'm not seeing quicker results. It often feels like the harder I go to work the worst my game suffers
You can tell how good a player will be quickly when they start out. In very rare cases do experienced players noticeably improve.
I met the New York state champion and related this story and of course he laughed and said if he only had a nickel for everytime he had heard the story. He said, "Ken you are a "B" shooter and that is all you will ever be. You can slightly improve but there some folks that are wired that will always have great coordination and you will never beat them." He continued, so enjoy shooting and dont burden to chase perfectio


If you want to play better, then you will need to do something different, than what you've done so far...

Ever notice that the pecking order at the pool room hardly ever changes (with the exception of up-and-coming youngsters, of course). The same guys that were beating me 30 years ago, can still spot me about the same thing today. The guys I was slightly better than are all still there and slightly under me. We all have our good days and bad days, but for most, once we hit that plateau, that becomes our new average. I peaked at around 18 years old.

Here is a Post from John McChesney circa 1999:

Here's something interesting we tried in 1991:
At an event we had 16 cues with the butt, joint and the ferrules covered
with masking tape...then numbered. No one could "see" if the cue was a
steel, plastic or wood joint (as in a Pete), nor detect by the style of
ferrule. We had 70 players...each hit balls with the cues throughout the
weekend.
Of the 70 players, nearly 55 liked the hit of two cues with
different numbers: When the two were exposed, they both were sneaky petes,
wood to wood joints, (one a Scruggs and the other a Huebler); both about 19
oz., both about 13 1/4mm and tended to be on the stiff side of "hit". By
the way, the 55 who liked the hit of these two cues: more than half thought
they would be steel jointed

I use the Test area to temporarily hold snippets from old posts. I am preparing a new post to place in the Main Forum. Once I have all the old posts collected here, I will post it in the Main Forum.

I am collecting posts on the difficulties in learning to play pool. It takes some time looking through the old threads on this topic.
