I've been playing pool for 7 years or so and it's pretty clear that having a tight rack is ideal for getting the best spread of the balls for just about any game (9 ball, 10 ball, 8 ball), but I never thought about why. The cue ball is applying the same force to the balls, they're just a tiny...

Thanks for the endorsement Dr. Dave, your site was part of the inspiration for this one! Unfortunately there is no design you can find for this since I created it myself. The advantage is its fast and clean. The disadvantage is I'm not a great coder so it doesn't have a backed and all the...

Hey guys, I've been working on a pool education website called basicbilliards.com and I’m looking for advice from the knowledgeable members of this forum on anything I can do to improve the site. The idea behind the site is to provide a free, modern website that’s easy to use on a computer or...

I mostly play pool, but I've played a little 3 cushion and I've watched my fair in person and online. I noticed while watching 3 cushion that billiards players typically have very short bridges/strokes vs pool players. Does anyone know why this is? Does it help achieve more spin or is it more...

Hey folks, This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know when the matches for the US Open Straight Pool start today? I live pretty close so I want to go watch some of the games, but I can find match schedules anywhere.

Has anyone heard of Kang? It looks likes hes defeated Karen Corr and Thorsten Hohmann pretty handily, and he plays Dennis Hatch next. Who is he and what are his chances?
