Online instructional resources and reference material

[dr_dave]

FYI, there are many online instructional resources available on my "Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards" website at:

billiards.colostate.edu

​

The site includes:

• a large collection of online narrated video demonstrations, covering everything from the basics to advanced techniques.
• super-slow-motion video clips, filmed with a special high frame-rate camera, that reveal principles that often can't be "seen" with the human eye or a normal video camera.
• instructional articles for learning the principles and techniques of pool and billiards.
• online glossary of pool and billiards terms and lingo.
• concise online summary of 8-ball and 9-ball rules.
• links to other useful resources on the web.
• technical proofs of various dynamics principles based on physics-based mathematical analyses (probably of interest to only those with strong physics or engineering backgrounds).

I hope you find some of these resources useful. I welcome any feedback or comments you might have concerning anything on the site. I plan to continue to expand and improve the website over time, so check back periodically.

I would like to say that some of these high speed videos have really helped me to understand what is really going on when the cue tip hits the cue ball and things like frozen to rail shots.

Thank you for providing this web site!
