It seems like an old image was still attached to the post! Everything is as it should be now. Indeed we noticed that it's most clear to mark the pockets that you have eliminated for yourself with your own color. And if you eliminate a rail, eliminate it in the same color. I, as the opponent...

On a side note: does anyone know on what forums or platform Asian poolfans discuss pool? Is there some Asian/Phillipino forum? Or do they mainly talk on social media, and if so which?

Ive said it before: the functionality of AZbilliards is exceptionally good. There is so much you can do and 1) everything works as expected 2) it's easy and works intuitively and 3) it doesnt feel cluttered or daunting because of the many options. Big compliment for the people who designed and...

Thanks for posting about the process, interesting. As for the result: I can't imagine it will play well. I imagine a plastic stick with 3 wobbly joints. But id love to see the result and hope it exceeds expectations.

A thread some time ago about calling the next shot inspired me for: 14.1 sequence pool All straight pool rules apply. Potting 1 ball = 1 point. In 14.1 sequence pool the player can call shots ahead. This is called a 'sequence'. A sequence can be 2 or more shots that are called ahead. For every...

Remember how Jeremy Jones played at times, even though he was captain and wasnt supposed to play? Crazy things can and will happen!

My guess would be that a coach or stronger training partner would be the best way to improve. Along with practice, but such a partner or coach could help to identify weaknesses and the biggest room for improvement. And perhaps try to get physically extra fit and work on the mental game.

Surprised by many names being so high on the list. Nick van de Berg, Iran Majid, Ralf Souquet... They're still very strong players and they do some tournament play, but I would expect them lower on the list. Melling and Kaplan I would expect a little higher. Just my feeling, exactly the kind...

Thanks! Honest, harsh feedback is welcomed 🙂 My advice for first time play: use clearly visible markers. Poker chips, or even better: pawns from chess as they are easy to see. Also in the first games remind eachother of basic rules: "don't use that pocket, it's a foul... Don't use that...

Fixed it!

Yes, correct, I started updating the rules regarding the markers but I had not finished it, yet. (at work now, will update) In practice we noticed it's easier to mark the pockets with your own color. That's intuitively how it works: I pot the 8 there, I put my chip there, the pocket is...

Another full set of Elimin-8-ball! With 2 others (we played winner stays) and they really enjoyed it. Conclusions so far: * a set takes about an hour. * the slow transition from 8-ball to a tactical game is fun. * each rack you lose an object ball. This makes sure the games don't last endless...

Depends on how intentional it feels. Unintentional I just ask to not to do whatever is annoying. Intentional behead a horse and put the head in his bed.

For me its when they put the box with balls ON the table and then take the balls out. That is sacrilege in my book.

Ah it somehow looked like an image, but it's a video, if you click it. Great shot!!!

I only see an image, split, with tables

Thanks for this thread and your video. Really helpful, 13 years later. 🙂

Doesnt that result in very frustrating games where players prevent their opponent from potting their ball in the side? And once you make yours the game is pretty much won. Because chance are it's hard to make his 1/15 in the specific side pocket.

Woah congratulations!! It would be cool if they start using it a televised events and we would get all kinds of stats and "this has been the hardest break so far in the tournament!" kind of commentary. What are the main applications you think will the digiball will be used for?
