    A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

    There is already 3 player 8 ball and other 3 player games, and you don't need to buy another set of balls. https://blattbilliards.com/blogs/news/how-to-play-pool-with-3-players#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20a%20few,from%20another%20set%20of%20balls.

    https://triball.global/rules-of-play/ So wait, the 'big problem that everybody has run into playing pool' was you can't have 3 players at the same time? That's the big thing? Jesus Christ. It's just 8 ball for three people?? Jesus Christ.

    A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

    I guess because nobody signed up to promise to buy a set of balls they knew nothing about. Wasn't May supposed to be peak crowdsourcing time for this? I thought the balls were going to start rolling off the lines in July. I don't. What was it? I'm not googling, 'BBC' at work. ;)

    A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

    Right, that's a different market. I'm talking about getting people to play a "new" game. The average person doesn't want to shovel out another $120 or whatever to buy another set of balls for some game they've probably never played. I think any new game that starts with more than one set of...

    As a distinct game, or for pool ball collectors? It's two different things.

    Repetitive Stress Injury from Pool?

    I would tell your friend to start with not being 82 years old.

    A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

    I think the question is: does there need to be a new game? What itch is it scratching? It's hard to come up with something completely new. Kill the King is completely new. The problem is that it's too much chess and not enough actual pool. A lot of new games will say, "It's based on 9 ball...

    Repetitive Stress Injury from Pool?

    It's not that hard to understand. You can stress a tendon by repeating the same move over and over. It happens to tennis players, ping pong players, it can happen to pool players, it used to happen to carpenters swinging a hammer all day long before nail guns were invented. A simple google...

    Repetitive Stress Injury from Pool?

    I got tennis elbow from playing too much. Had to lay off for a while and use a theraband. Now I put a cold pack on it if I play for more than an hour or so. You can definitely get repetitive stress injury from anything. At 82, I think you can get it from tying your shoes.

    I have a feeling they're a little more "proprietary" about their stuff than you. What if it turns out to be Kill the King?

    Must be finalizing the international leagues and worldwide television coverage.

    HOW WOULD YOU PLAY THIS POSITION?

    One of those positions where there is no clear answer. A bunch of options and none is all that great, all very touchy. Which one is least likely to leave you fucked tight against the yellow in the corner with the red on the same side? I have to shoot this again and see what the leave is, I'm...

    HOW WOULD YOU PLAY THIS POSITION?

    That youtube shot is pretty snazzy, but yeah the percentage seems low. I think I would play Left side of the red thin to come up short long short. I needed a touch of left. Big ball in the corner. I tried thin left side of yellow and come around 4 rails S/L/S/L to the red. Not bad either...

    Jump Shots

    But have you ever seen one in an actual tournament? Especially a pro tournament? I never have. Right, it almost seems like it's taboo in 3C. I feel like there would be a big reaction from the audience if Caudron hopped a ball during a tournament.

    Jump Shots

    I was looking through one of Byrne's books and he has a small section talking about jump shots in 3-C. I believe they're legal so long as the wood of the rail doesn't get touched, is that right? I'm talking about in actual tournament game play, not artistic demonstrations and the like. I...

    Banking with the beard?

    They weren't sure if what is in the book is a duplication of what they already have. I suggested they could take a look before they buy it.

    Banking with the beard?

    It's floating around in PDF form. You can take a look at it and see if there's anything not in the DVD. https://pdfcoffee.com/banking-with-the-beard-pdf-free.html
