Big question

[OmaMiesta]

This is true, but what qualities do you personally think make natural ability?

Ronnie first started playing on full-size tables at 8, Trump at 6 years old... so going by that they already had a 4 and 6 year head start on Stephen respectively...

Food for thought

I personally think most natural players have a few particular things in common. An ability to sight angles really quickly, problem solve, and execute shots and breaks at a faster than average speed while still maintaining fundamental consistency / mental focus.

Speaking about dominant eyes i can never figure out the way Mark Allen plays. he sights with his left eye and is left handed, so why does he need to jutt out his chin the way he does? You'd think the cue would fall naturally under his left eye, not as if he's got a chin like Peter Beardsley, though he's probably encroaching on Stephen Lee territory in that respect.

So true! :biggrin-new:
