Removing height, weight, muscle, and anything else that could be influenced by genetics, which sport or position in a sport can be considered the most difficult to master with all things being equal.

I'm talking skills that can be learned over time. For example, the golf swing, throwing a football accurately, pitching a baseball, etc.

I would say Golf and baseball.

Baseball your considered great if you are successful on 3 out 10 tries as a hitter. You have people pitching baseballs at you at 90 to 100 miles per hour and you are expected to react insanely fast to determine whether the ball is a strike or a ball.

Golf....pretty obvious

Jesus I hope not. I played for 16 years and never had a problem

I'd say batting makes baseball the hardest to master

As in become world class? I'd say hockey, soccer, and golf (if you consider it a sport).

Shooting percentages in hockey are lower.

It's the only sport I've ever quit out of pure frustration.
