I recently came across a fun idea for practicing pool and turning it into a friendly competition. The concept is simple: toss a cue ball and an object ball randomly on the table, mark their positions, roll a dice to decide which pocket to shoot into, and take your shot. One point for a make...

I appreciate all that info, awesome context! I’d love to dive deeper into these kinds of details possibly for a future video. That bit about the mace and women playing was new to me. Thanks for taking the time to share all this!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Im definitely planning to go deeper next time and breaking it into time periods sounds like a smart idea. I appreciate the feedback!

Wow, thanks for dropping all that knowledge! Ill definitely check out the Hendricks book and those other titles you mentioned. Sounds like I’ve got some homework before making a part 2! LOL Appreciate you pointing me toward the subforum too I didn’t even know that existed. Thanks again for...

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

Haha, love the questions and the V10 love! I dont have all the answers on Sausage or whether the Spitoons were copper or just tin knockoffs, but I may have to dig into it. Bathrooms? Who knows maybe players enjoyed some “backyard breaks” to keep the game spicy (LOL)! Thanks for the fun feedback!

Thank you so much for the response! Glad you like it, I hope it brings interest to other future pool players.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the suggestion. And great catch on Ruth McGinnis being left-handed! I had to go look at it and google it, just to confirm for myslef. It’s a cool detail that deserves a shout-out. I'll be sure to highlight that if ever used in future content. Thanks again...

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I appreciate it, heres the thought process on my approach: Length & Title: I know the “history” label might suggest a long, comprehnsive look, but I aimed for a short piece to spark interest. It’s meant to be an entry point, just something quick that makes...

Thank you for the response!

Thanks for the response.... Love the added quiz... As far as the pool room name, I remember I read this at some point, but don't remember the exact details... Something to do with being in a room with gambling, possible horse racing, if I remember correctly and the money was called pooling so...

You’re right, fairness is important, especially in a tournament setting. I definitely want to keep it competitive and consistent for everyone. When it’s just casual play though, I’m more about having fun and messing around with family and friends!

Wow, that sounds like a frustrating match! It’s always tricky when people aren’t on the same page with the rules. Glad you were able to win in the end! I've never heard anyone say anything about coins before, it seems like everyone uses them. Personally, I don't link them there, but its never...

Hey everyone, I recently put together a short 2-minute video covering the history of pool — from its early outdoor origins to how it became the game we know today. It includes old photos, drawings, and clips of legends like Mosconi and Efren. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the video —...

Sorry about that.. I put the timeline in the original forum so you would be able to skip straight to the shots, but thanks for attempting to view and for the response.
