7:57 "Don't play for position if you already have it. Take what's offered." I know he probably said it in a light way, and perhaps even jokingly, but this is solid advice that many aspiring "good" players need. Most people who learn how to play for position get into the habit of ALWAYS playing for position, often forgetting what the natural path of the cue ball may sometimes offer. Excellent advice. Edit: i accidentally a word

I took quite a few years of lessons and learned a lot. However many of my lesson days were going over things I'd already had learned on my own through online material and practice. Don't underestimate the knowledge that's already at you fingertips online and from the excellent free content you can find on youtube such as this. I find really the only problem I have is information overload. I need to get better at structuring my practice sessions to include the massive amount of information I'm taking in when I'm away from the pool table in video tutorials or just from watching pro pool.

@steveminla 4 года назад

All the "Rollie" jokes aside, there is no doubting that Dr. Dave is an absolute master teacher of pool! EVERYONE who watched this video has absolutely learned SOMETHING! It was also such a great treat to find out that he had Robert Byrne's table. Mr. Byrne was an amazing teacher as well and his table is definitely in good hands with Dr. Dave! His book "Standard Book of Pool & Billiards" is basically a bible for billiard shots!! He also has many videos on exercises and shot making. Great video. Thanks for sharing...and congratulations on your recent graduation!!! :~)

@ericbeeler1512 4 года назад

Dave Alciatore is the man, great material right here! And I dig his book The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards, as well as his Billiards Digest articles on throw and squirt, particularly. It was very insightful technical material. Dave has made the articles easy to find online. Also, he uses properly-scaled, accurate diagramming of shots in all his material, which I appreciate. Precise, accurately-drawn diagrams are very important for pool instructional material, yet most of the billiards instructional books I've read fail to get them right.

Dr Dave has been my main source of knowledge recently as I have been trying to get better at pool and this video with you two was such a treat to watch. I've already seen everything he said here from his own videos cause I think I might have watched them all but the back and forth between you two was great. I actually think I might not have stuck with playing and learning pool so much if it wasn't for his videos and his passion and enjoyment that he brings to the sport.

As a mathematician, i cringe in every engineering aproximations... But i love too much this guy. The way he studied and mastered the art of pool is remarkable. So grateful for this guy

@physicsguybrian 4 года назад

As a physicist, I can assure you that Dr Dave's "approximations" are based on allowances (defined by the physical laws of kinematics) which are driven by the variability of conditions. If you read through Dr Dave's many technical papers you too can enjoy the advanced mathematics/mechanics he uses to derive the very behaviors one sees when billiard balls collide/interact with various rotational states, etc. His solutions are exact HOWEVER in real life exact solutions ARE the approximations because "noise" is unaccounted for and when noise is accounted for, it can only ever be best approximation of noise sources. By noise in this context I mean uncontrolled variability of properties of the "system" such as cloth surfaces/types, cushion rebound, ball types/surfaces, cues, chalk, humidity, temperature not to mention this biggest one: players. Don't cringe good Sir, understand his intent and rejoice in the power of making mathematics of the complicated both practical and sharable with the general public. I assure you Dr Dave knows exactly what he's talking about. I've checked his derivations and he is spot on. His PhD was not given, it was earned and rightfully so. Hope this is helpful to all readers!

Dr. Dave says "Rollie" often because that's what intelligent people do. It has been proven that one of the most ego-boosting things you can do to someone is call them by their first name. Dave wanted Rollie to feel good, and judging by Rollie's facial expressions, he was feeling just fine.
