This video doesn't even scratch the surface to the skill it takes to play this game. Most anyone can bang the balls around till they fall in a pocket but it takes real skill to finesse the cue ball into striking the object ball into the correct pocket while setting yourself up for the next shot. The correct stroke with the proper english takes a long time to learn since each "break" is as unique as a snowflake... no two are the same. The only downfall to billiards or pool as I see it are the commentators.. the ones that know it all including what the player is going to do, should do, will do. Some even know what the player is thinking! Sheesh!
