These are great examples, thanks. My league plays blackball rules where potting your opponents ball only is a foul giving a free shot and a visit. Would love to see some examples showing how and why situations would be handled differently with each ruleset. Maybe even these same ones. Cheers
Yeah cheers mate i possibly will do that in the future as well just a bit hard because I don’t play those rules right now but definitely will for sure thanks for the feedback.
Some of the rules make sense others don't. I know it's designed to entertain and speed up the game but really it's a one sided match now. Any decent player can win very easily. As for potting the black and you opponents ball is pathetic. It a bloody foul in any game of pool. Not sure who wrote these rules but that rule is a joke. Anyway that's the game now designed for tv entertainment. Play these guys with the old rules and let's see how good they really are.
Thanks for answering my question makes sense why you prefer it my first cue was a dufferin just a standard one piece was a good cue I've noticed they are actually pretty hard to purchase now
Scenario that never happens but I had this twice in one week... My Black ball hanging in corner pocket..opponent shot puts his ball touching the black....I am totally snookered to get through to the black...i cant touch on his ball it will 100%>drop the black in.....it's a total snooker but it's my turn......what happens... ? Second one was the same. apponants ball touching black. but he fouled trying to hit his ball but again left me totally snookered ...he said it was ball In hand ...when my shot was not possible....I said loss of frame ..he said he did not deliberately foul...??.....we settled both on a re rack....but what is the official ruling !!..???.can you show us please.👌👍 I know that you cannot intentionally foul anymore..but could you also show it the other way on . Black over the pocket same .your ball touching the black ball...cue ball on side rail..impossible to hit your ball without dropping the black..its your turn.. what happens?.. can you show old rules and new way for all 3 please mate ..cheers!
I called in sick from SEPL that night to stay home and watch the match live. My team was playing at the Arcadia where it turns out Ben Nunan was in attendance and had got them to rig it up on the big screen - I definitely missed a trick there! Huge pressure out in that last frame, so glad you wrapped it up and got the collect ⭐
one thing that set my worry / anxious mind off is hearing people talk who are spectating, that will always be at the back of my mind thinking that am I doing something wrong, then it interferes with my decision making, any suggestions on how to block that out? It basically makes me unconfident in my ability.
Hey mate, unfortunately there’s not too many things you can do but I would suggest you focus with your eyes directly on the table and don’t look around at the audience and another thing is to stand somewhere else away from those that are talking and making you uncomfortable. 🙏🍺
I Remember it like it was yesterday mate, fantastic achievement to you and the team, definitely you guys gave all of us back in Australia a lot of joy and pride 💯💯💥💥❤
It's also good to know that pros at your calibre still experience nervousness. It's something to be managed, and it's good to know even the best have to deal with it 👍
That’s good to know that these videos are helping out other Pool players out there. Feel free to share to others that you think might help also thanks for the support. 🙏
had something similar not long ago and player digged down and jumped off the cushion over the red on the black to hit the black and he said it was only way he could possibly hit it, and ref called foul for jumping ball hahaha
First video of yours I have watched, I found it useful, as a new pool player (ex-snooker) the tactical ideas will be very helpful I think, so I subbed.. God bless you.
Great video again mate. In the first frame I’d have played the route to have the black to top left corner rather than cut in the middle. The balls were there to take that route but there are often alternative routes that still work. 👍
I play with a dude who thinks we are equal. I am still dealing with brain damage. He just sucks. He doesn't even know how to hold the cue. He can only play follow shots. I can draw table lengths. I've seen him draw a couple of inches. I've never seen him play a stop shot at any distance. He thinks we are equals.
Yeah, he is actually a nice guy. He actually thinks he is helping. I try to keep that in mind. He has horrible technique. His middle and index finger float an inch off of the table. They join at the tips. That is his bridge. He jacks the stick up for every shot. He only hits centerball. He only hits soft. He only plays follow shots, regardless of the pattern. If a follow shot won't take him to the next shot, he plays safe; a weak safe.😊
