The Donuts are also available in transparent :) Looks much better on a table, same precision for set up balls. Best thing ever for any kind of deliberate practice for pool.

https://www.poolinaction.com/ these are great pool pictures from Steve Booth. I have like 50 pictures from my favorite players printed out in my pool room, most of them coming from the above source.

the main point is oftentimes to get object ball safe and hiding the cueball as a bonus. You can see, that on most safeties the opponent would have a very tough shot even if the CB would't snuggle against another ball. Hiding behind a lonely ball is quite a small target, good for practice but if...

my coach is a former pro with a fargo of 775. He says, he uses it a lot. And you can cornerhook the opponent without the risk of scratching very high percentage. So it looks probably more dangerous, than it actually is. (1/8 inch is enough to cornerhook the opponent on the 8. The situation comes...

FYI — just uploaded a new training video with 65 pool safeties. It’s basically a full catalog of defensive patterns you’ll see in real 9-ball and 10-ball matches. Pause, set them up, and see how many you can master — or find the ones that give you the most trouble. Curious to hear what other AZB...

this drill was to get perfect 5 on every position. so no, it wasn't in one take 😆 (but I will practice it, til I am able to score 19 out of 20 in the version of BU Exam I (just to hit the ball) and I will post an unedited video, when I manage to do it first time :) (At the moment I am about 15...

Thanks :) This is one of the most demanding drills I’ve come across so far. Getting 19–20 out of 20 is a real achievement. Excellent practice for refining stroke mechanics — I’m very curious to see how much improvement I’m capable of. Maybe a few more AZBilliards folks will want to break...

I’ve resumed my Billiard University “Habilitation.” Curious to see if I’ll get the professorship in the end.

Mr Lunda Sr. (Travelling with Evan Lunda) (Not sure he is ready to jump into action but he will watch the cue of his son.)

could not find how foul disputes are to be handled, when no referee is present. (Just that there are new rules on this.) Say my opponent watches a close call. He is not neutral by definition. say my shirt came close to touching a ball while I was going down over a ball. The ball didn't move, it...

With the news of Buddy's passing, I wanted to share one of my favorite stories about him - his legendary first matchup against the then reigning world champion Jim Rempe. The match was 9-ball, 10 ahead, with I think $20K on the line. These matches often drag on for hours before a winner is...

Yes, I was able to find this page before, so I knew that Diamond uses Artemis Intercontinetal No. 66 K55 profiles and I ordered a set to get installed for my Brunswick. It's quite interesting to see that Brunswick has adopted the same Artemis Intercontinental No. 66 cushions used by Diamond...

Chat GPT referring to posts like this:

I had and still have big difficulities finding online the difference between K55 and K66 (so it's quite likely I used the terms in a wrong way). my problem: Diamond rails play differently compared to my Brunswick. I wanted to install Diamond rails on my Brunswick I tried to find out, which...

Diamond has become so dominant in the U.S. that many players — myself included — have modified their Brunswick Gold Crown tables to use Diamond-style rails. Some prefer the classic look and build quality of a Brunswick, but want to practice banking and rail shots on equipment that plays as...

edited 09/24: These are the two rail profiles, taken from the Artemis homepage (I thought it to be called K55 and K66). Intercontinental No. 66 is used by Diamond tables. Pool No. 66 is used by Brunswick tables. The rails play quite differently: Intercontinental No. 66 (Diamond) plays...

FYI, I just posted a video with a collection of 20 One Pocket Puzzles for practice and entertainment. Check it out: Inspired by the incredible runout from Evan Lunda at the Finals of the 2024 US Open One Pocket, I came up with 20 One Pocket positions designed to steal the game from your...

You are probably right, that the players only use it as an excuse. And that they are probably not really interested in becoming better. But someone who made the experience of becoming really good in another field (like playing cello or golf) can get much better practicing on his own with no...
