Matt is in his mid 30's now...he's been playing seriously, really working on his game, for over 20 years.
You can buy a fast car and be fast at the track. The old "how fast do you want to spend?" Has a lot of truth in it. In pool, it's the indian, not the arrow. Tho most of the top level indians have some awfully straight arrows.  |
Yeah no doubt. I enjoy playing, haven't in a long, long time but I do enjoy the game. You really have to marvel at the, as you put it ball control of the elite players. Didn't pool used to be on Wide World of Sports at one point? I thought i remember seeing Minnesota Fats on tv back in the day.
You guys need to post some pics of your gear. You did on some thread before didn't you Paul?
