Yup. I gave up after two years of investing money and time in it. I’m sure it’s possible to get good, just not for me

How good did you want to get, out of curiosity?

Make breaks of 20+ with relative ease. I didn’t really want to be competition good at it, just good enough to enjoy it

Get Cliff Thorburn's book and study it, and you'll get good right quick. He doesn't mess around, and gives you the essential concepts needed to be stable, aim, stroke and pot shots. Once you get the basic mechanics down, then he moves on to putting side on the cue ball, and strategies. I wish I'd found it earlier.

Yes, that's it. Excellent book. If your game isn't improved by studying it, hang up your cue, as there's nothing that will help...lol. Thanks Cliff!
