This song is hilarious. Cool that they included pool in the video.

I have read the posts replies up to this point. I hope that people are learning something from this. Its great to think of pool players improving in performance. My original post was a kindhearted gesture to support players.

In summary, this post was to alert beginning and newer players about the most important parts of pocket billiards. I was a bit harsh in my original post, however, that harshness was in part to bring attention to this post for those newer players. And what I said in that post is true, WIthout the...

That is cool that you have been in Olympic time trials. Congrats for that. But there will never be a world class pool player who does not have a consistently quality and straight stroke, no matter how many battles they have been through.

My buddy Gold Crown! Do you see the Gold Crowns in my photo? We don't have to agree on everything!

That would require you reading what I said. Its right there in black and white.
