Hi Everyone! Diamond Dave here! I had an interesting experience playing in a big tournament in Seoul last weekend, and it really reinforced some classic nuggets of wisdom for me. Backstory: On December 30th last year, I had been sitting cross-legged on my computer chair for about an hour. A...

Hi everyone! After my US Open 2021 video: I had a friend challenge me to recreate Styer's sickening jump-kick shot from the world teams event. This is by far the hardest shot I've tried to recreate, including Efren's Z shot. Enjoy!

Hi everyone! Today, I tried Shakira's method of seeing the future in my head brain. He said it's the only way to get better at pool, and so far, I'd have to agree. Make sure you check out his video, too, as his channel could do with a boost.

Hi everyone, Some people commentated on my YouTube videos that I wasn't very confident in front of the camera, so I've made a little practice drill video to work on my presentation skills. I'd like to thank fellow YouTuber thedrillinstructor for inspiring this video. Diamond Dave

Hi all! I got a new jump cue, the Cuetec Cynergy Propel, and a new notebook, a MacBook Pro, so I decided to do a little video project to teach myself how to use Final Cut Pro, Apple's video editing software. It's a fairly long video as there were a lot of video tricks I wanted to learn, and...

Hey all! I’ve been interested in the SightRight method for a while, particularly after hearing Mark Williams, Hendry, and co talk about it. I picked up the Pocket SightRight with access to the learning resources on their site. 5 minutes with this device makes me feel like I’ve been practicing...

Hey all! I’ve been doing my own donut racks on my table for a couple of years because Perma-Rack doesn’t offer international sales through eBay or their website. However, frequenting AZB more recently, I noticed the seller has a presence here and reached out to him. We quickly sorted out...

Hey all, I’ve only ever used Takini cloth, which is made by Min Tables, a Korean manufacturer. My current cloth has been on for about 7 months. I play quite a lot, but not crazy amounts, and I usually play straight pool, so the 9 ball track is a highlight of the below photos, along with with...

Hey dudes! I actually made this video for a friend who has taken a liking to 14.1, but has a hard time getting his 14.1 brain leveled up. He was talking tonight about a few problems, and I thought I’d talk him through a couple of racks. Warning: This is 30 minutes for two racks. I’m talking...

I’m making a new post on this topic because it’s probably going to be a long read. If that isn’t your thing, fine. Move on. If you do read this post, and you have information that I don’t have, or that contradicts something I’ve said, feel free to correct me. However, please don’t do so with...

Hi Everyone!! This is Diamond Dave back with something a little bit different. I was inspired by YouTuber Mr. Lyle Chris’s billiards birthday challenge, in which he ran his age in 14.1, ran his age in consecutive balls playing 9 ball, and then did his age in push-ups. I’m a little bit older...

Hi everyone!! This is Diamond Dave back with another instructional video. I listened to everyone’s feedback and made the video a lot shorter. This video is only three and a half minutes long, but it’s jam packed with useful information that can help you run racks with ease!! Take your game...

Hi Guys! This is Diamond Dave back with another video. Today, I was inspired by YouTube pool superstar Mr. Lyle Chris. I saw Mr. Chris run his age in straight pool, and I thought, “What a great idea!” This video is longer than usual because as I ran through the numbers, I started to think...

Hi Everyone!! I’ve rebranded my YouTube channel to “Diamond Dave’s Billiards”. It’s pretty exciting and feels like a fresh start. To celebrate, I’ve made a new video detailing my top 5 pool accessories. Make sure you watch through for my number one accessory. I’ve never seen any other pool...

Merry Christmas everyone!! I took your feedback from my first tutorial video titled “1 shot every 10 players should know”, and I’m back with another video. This time I’m trying to get my first ever 9 ball BnR, and I’m even using a GoPro headcam view so you can experience it with me. I hope...

Hey guys! A few people have asked me to to do a series of instructional videos on some shots every player should know but some players don’t know when they should know them. I made a test video and thought I’d post here for feedback. My goal is to cover some of the more basic shots that every...

Hi guys, I’m having my first table (US pool, most of my formative years spent around snooker tables) installed in a few weeks. I’m not living in my home country and have no idea about the installer doing the job. In your experience, what are some major signals to indicate the workman is an...

Quick question: I play in Korea, and a lot of the tournaments are rack your own. However, if you do rack your own, there are a couple of conditions. The first is that a 9 ball or 10 ball on the break is re-spotted. No issues with that one. The second is that if, after the break, the 9 ball...

I have just received a JB butterfly 4x8, and thought I'd drop a few words on it. The case is solid and appears to be very well constructed. The attach points for straps and handles also seem to be very strong. Being a butterfly, the case is very light. The leather has a great feel to it, and...
