Evolutionary psychology theorizes that males in general want to attract as many females as possible. In order to do so they have to 1) be able to gather food, resources and protection for their offspring and 2) show the females that they are fit (in terms of evolutionary fitness). If you excel...

So why not a one rail kick shot?

My play is too crappy unfortunately, too many errors. I enjoy watching 1p but it is a bit slow. This game has several things that make it interesting, in my opinion. To play and to watch. 1) it starts as regular 8-ball, but over time, with fewer pockets available, it drifts toward the...

Appreciate the thoughts 👍 and I almost googled to see what kind of variant they play in Dallas that is called 'Snowball' 😄 but I got the picture

Explaining it in person it is much easier, but ill explain in 3 sentences: It's 8 ball. But with every 8-ball a player pots he eliminates an object ball and the pocket where the was potted. If he has eliminated 2 pockets side by side he has eliminated the rail for his opponent. The first player...

@Pin this I’ve been working on

This worth testing! I did test something kind of similar and placing markers every shot is a hassle and you would not say but it's easy to get confused ("oh yeah it was last game that this pocket was blocked"). Eliminating one pocket per game is more easy for the mind.

Elimin-8-ball is played as a set, not as a single rack. All regular 8-ball rules apply, except that both players start with 6 balls and a player is either solids or stripes for the entirety of the set. The first game is a regular game of 8-ball. After that, with each 8-ball that is potted...

A good read and nice to read about Niels' Hall of Fame entry. As a Dutchman it gives me glowy nationalist feelings 🇳🇱 I agree with his assessment that he is not the intuitive kind of player, instead he is the extremely hardworking, disciplined sportman. But in that sense he has an exceptional...

Kinda related, but im still bummed about JJ having to play as a captain, and playing a great game and even a phenominal rack and then somehow screwing up with the clock. That was one of the greatest anti climaxes in pool, ever.

I just checked Shoot or Dare and it's relatively new! I expected it to be much older, for some reason. My thoughts: + the initial push out gives every player a chance each rack - I don't really get why a ball must touch the pocket zone to be legal. Either way: it can lead to discussion. In the...

Oh my bad, I thought it was new. Regardless, innovating is always possible. And I think there's still plenty of room for exciting innovation.

I for one am still adament that there are new poolgames to be designed. Sure, the old games have stood the test of time, but thinking that pool cannot innovate is beyond me. So I applaud any effort to innovate. Even snooker had a new variant (6 reds) that excites the fans!

Not sure who the female commentator is, but she is really good.

Wonder if the shoot outs will be exciting or a bit of a bummer.

Here's an image of what I tried to explain: In this example the cueball was hit with right spin. It's maximum rpm was 351rpm. It's current rpm is 292rpm and the angle of rotation has changed from 3 o clock to half past 1. It would be cool if that radian changed in length and color, consistent...

Im not sure if the speed/rpm ratio is info that is easy to understand. But perhaps it is?

And a red center dot in the exact middlso it's easy to see what is the center. Perhaps also do a little bit of inward shading from the edges of the circle to make it look like a sphere. For RPM you could have a pillar that shows the current, live, rpm? The pillar would change color and size...
