    Why Pool Leagues Should Embrace “ALL BALL FOULS”

    Just awakening to the off topic of table size. Well in my experience as a barbox warrior that ventured into the 211 for lessons. 🤷‍♂️ My observations leads to the big table /small table conclusion. The big table favors pocketing with larger landing zones for whitey. The mall table has closer...

    Any videos of Dr Dave in an actual match?

    Looks like its sorted out, well sota. I have an old fart analogy memory. My time studying at the White Spot Wednesday night 9 ball academy showed players with skills that just couldn't compete. 🤷‍♂️ The new guys came in with great skill but lacked the ability to kill. 🤷‍♂️ It's a frame of...

    The incoming line of the cueball that closely matches the ball to pocket line gives the longest landing strip for whitey. So a centerball hit might be crossing the line at 90 degrees. Getting just the speed vs speed and spin to a larger target. 🤔 Please excuse a memory alert or OCSer story. 😉...
