Amateur pool with josh Powell you tube page! And apa shenanigans

[trob]

This is a you tube page I’ve enjoyed watching the last few months. He’s just a regular good playing guy who records his apa matches then commentates them. He lost in the finals of nationals 8 ball singles so he can play a little lol I find him funny and interesting and I like watching average joe’s play sometimes and not just the professional never missing robots. Lol Before thanksgiving he got suspended from the apa for a reason he still doesn’t know by a league operator not his own. He used to play for him and changed because they didn’t get a long. If you go back in his videos you’ll find the video he talks about the situation. The apa told him they would get back to him with 10 days and instead took a couple months. They just now finally got back to him and are trying to strong arm him into taking his video’s down if he wants to continue to play even though In the letter they sent they admit he’s right and the apa operator was wrong. To much to type out all the details. I guess my big problem is the person who suspended him never even wrote in a reason to the apa why which for a national company as big as they are is unacceptable. Even now he was never really told why he was suspended. these Lo’s should be told that if you want to suspend one of our customers you must write in a reason or it won’t be up held. It’s asking for legal problems.
if your interested take a look at the latest video he made talking about the letter and maybe watch some of his other video’s and support his page. He’s a good dude.

I just started watching his channel before this happened. I enjoy his videos.

I don't agree with what the APA is demanding at all, they are in the wrong.

The first two demands are fine.
1) take down any apa logos. That’s fair it’s copy righted
2) don’t speak to that other lo. That’s cool he doesn’t anyway
3) but the last one telling him he has to take down the video because of inaccuracy’s when they’ve agreed with everything he said is Ridiculous. Tell me the inaccuracies .

 

[David in FL]

I had to give up after about three minutes of watching that…

I see enough mediocre pool on my own league nights and don't have to listen to his inane commenting…

Its not for everybody but I like it

 

[JABSolstice]

I enjoy his videos as well. I watch a lot of professional matches, and it is fun to see amateurs playing every now and then.

He's not amazing by any standard, but still a pretty solid shot. Listening to him talk through his process and shots is mostly good, with a few shots I completely disagree with. Also, his self deprecating style is fun to listen to.

I agree that the suspension is absolutely out of line. APA really botched the situation, in my opinion.

 

[zetetikos]

Holy crap, regardless of his play ability, his entire personality, manner of speaking, voice and facial expressions are all seriously off putting.

Eh, sometimes it can be a little bothersome...but I guess I'm just not that sensitive.

I was watching the WPBA livestream a few days ago and the commentator there did bother me enough to just watch on mute.

I agree with you on that.

Well to anyone interested he stuck to his guns And now started playing tap league. Good for him for not letting apa bully him.

Something recently reminded me of this post. This guy rambles, puts some people off, but at least he is not trying to be some know it all genius. He occasionally makes some very insightful comments. He has a fairly good line on what mistakes are made, and why. I think just about anybody in the 500-600 area could benefit. It's definitely amateur hour, but not pretending to be anything else.

 

[RonnieRose]

It's a good channel for Amateur Pool players. At least he isn't copying every certified instructors material, changing their wording and using top notch editing software to look fancier than the previous 50 guys who taught the same thing on all of the social media platforms! Some of these guys are even trying to give lessons? They can't beat their local league players but now they are a pool instructor from watching a few videos online? Absolutely ridiculous! If anyone wastes their time and money on these POSERS, they fully deserve to never improve! Actually, I hope all of the competition goes to these boobs for pool instruction

Yeah he doesn’t try to pretend he’s an expert. Just loves pool and try’s to entertain people. I don’t think I every took any knowledge away from watching him but watching a lot of pro pool it’s nice to watch some people that play like normal humans lol

 

[FrankieD]

I like that channel. I watch quite a bit professional pool so Amateur Pool w/ Josh is entertainingly humanizing. I'm a subscriber.

 

[Rickhem]

I have been watching his videos, and I like his off beat voiceovers. His, along with another guy doing similar videos, a channel called PDN, are frequently popping up on my feed. The PDN guy is a lot more laid back, but their videos are very similar, presenting what are regular league players in the matches they play. I find that the lower skill level matches really don't interest me, but I do like the ones with people at about my level. Josh also does videos from a local weekly bar tournament that has races to two, and I like watching those as well, since those clips are less that 20 minutes.

As an APA player, these kinds of guys are what I enjoy playing every week.

I've watched a few PDN vids, but just can't get onboard. It was a lot of complaining about how he hates 8ball. Which is fine, except he signed up to play in an 8ball league.

 

[The_JV]

I've actually watched a bit of his content over the last year or so. Although the voice overs do get long in the tooth. It's far better then some of the "professional" gum sucking I've heard on the accustats vids...lol

Also nice to see someone not attempting to portray being an expert in pool. lol... Just saw a vid by a different "content creator" preaching the right way to map and perform patterns. Nothing better then a poor fly by night effort mapped with arrows in post production to make it seem that they pulled off exactly what they planned...

I’m not a huge fan of his.. I watched some of his videos when he was competing out in Vegas but when he got back home it wasn’t that good anymore.. to much complaining

I’ve been enjoying this guys content. Doesn’t try to teach but your going through his learning. He puts a lot of effort into the game and watching him get better has been interesting. watching how much better things like his kicks and banking has gotten through system and his mental training has been cool and he seems like a really nice guy. He’s going out to Vegas masters this year and so am I so I’m hoping to hook up and play a few racks with him.

On The Snap is good, too. He's very methodical and you can tell he loves the game. He shoots a little slow and is quite a bit less charismatic than Josh from Amateur Pool. But Anthony from On The Snap does shoot well and I appreciate his fondness for pool..

talk about shooting yourself in the face......let's face it, playing pool is not the most popular game for the young, so you have a guy , promoting your league for FREE, talking about how much fun it is, on the internet where you might reach this younger generation and you stop him? WHY?
