I have a lot of respect for those who put in the hours of practice consistantly. It's not easy when most of the time you're on your own. For me I have trouble staying focused for a long period of time on the table! For those of you who don't know, ProMasters(at one point or another) practiced 8-10 hours a day to get where they are! I mean no wonder they can execute passes and shots without thinking!
But I definitely wasn't knocking practice, I just know Omar won't be doing it! lol There's talk of getting together more regularly for foos, I'll be down for that! Playing with others is something I can do for hours!
Now the only reason I don't practice is because 1. I work 10,000 hours a week and 2. I don't have a table anymore.....when I did practice I made sure to at least put one solid hour a day.....the improvements mentally and technically speaking were mind blowing....
My reference to practicing is that since I am new to shooting the snake, I never really practiced it nor was I ever really told the mechanics of it.....its all been trial and error which leads me to my next point...if I were just to practice the snake and mechanically tune it up I would kick everyone's ass.......
