What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

A BIG old-school cue ball is HEAVY.
It's basically a billiard ball.

I never had trouble drawing a big cue ball table length on a bar table.
All things being equal, you can get further away from the intended rotational axis. Leverage.
Lot of the issues I had with the big ball were cloth and environment related. On a big table fitted with good rubber and 360, you'd probably have the same options (give or take) as you would with a standard ball.

Audience Sharking (Unintentional, but INSANE?)

Oh Jesus!
I apologize for posting without reading 4 pages of discussion.
So my untarnished 50+ years of experience bar room competition for stakes, has provided an encyclopedia of shark moves. I expose my ability to do the same when the home team gets involved in the distraction routine.
The sharking was so juvenile, the giggly after is such a childish tell.
When I encounter childish behavior???? Well I can give lessons.
Shame on you while the rest struggle with all these herogliffy.
