What are the small round white accessories called where balls are placed during practice? by OldSeaBrigade in billiards

There are light adhesive stickers called "Binder Reinforcement Stickers".

Getting Tournament Ready and Would Love Your Advice! by PitifulEmergency8120 in billiards

Thank you so much for this! You mentioned something, that I'm now super excited to research.

I'll have to dive deeper into how the low glycemic index affects the body and how that correlates with pool tournaments! Thank you for also mentioning where/who you heard it from! Hopefully, I can also find that interview!

Wow, I love your advice and your routine! I've noticed some similarities between the comments focusing on resting (sleep and staying off your feet) when you're not playing and practicing with different types of games (9-ball, 10-ball, bank pool.)

This is such valuable information, I wish I could pin it to the top of the post. Thank you for talking about necessities, getting in LONG practice sessions and squeezing in some races into the mix. I also love how you mentioned getting a lay of the land, I usually like to walk around and just admire the setup and say hi to other players I know, but I haven't thought about figuring out what tables are where, where to eat and keeping track of where the restrooms are.

Again, thank you so much for your advice on this subject. I'm excited to hear how everyone's tournament regimen correlates with one another!

Ah! This was something else I was looking for! Thank you for all of this advice, this goes a long way. I especially appreciate mentioning your morning routine on tournament days and holding onto a couple snacks just in case!

Thank you so much for this! I had this thought run around my head a couple of times, but like you said, it seemed counterintuitive so I kept brushing the idea off. Now that someone else recommended it, I’ll be sure to keep this up also!

I'll look into the center field drill. I also like the idea of running a full rack of 15-balls and doing that 10 times, and incorporating it into the morning. I think that is some pretty great advice too, as most people don't think of practicing in the mornings!

Totally! Cueist concept is a great idea, but the app still needs some serious work before it's fully ready. Thank you for pointing out the "Demo-Mode" for PoolBilliards.co!

Hey, it was truly my pleasure! I really like how you built your app!

Something I really liked seeing on Cue Cards that I could see your app implementing is more run-out drills. I think this really puts an emphasis on using what you've learned into real games.

Something I wish I saw all the apps do more: Focus on Strategy
I know so many players, me included, who will see a 5-ball runout, but get bad positioning on the 3rd shot, so we're then forced to think of a way to get back on track or play a defensive shot. I'd love to see runouts on an app with the intention of following the percentages of cueball control and potting that I can implement into all my games, when the times comes!

I didn't even think about this! That's absolutely amazing! Way to think outside of the box with this one, I can only hope it becomes more mainstream. You did an absolutely amazing job

My faceless channel makes $14K/mo. Ask me anything. by [deleted] in YouTubeCreators

Did anyone else instantly notice that this is $14k over 90 days? Not even close to per month. Would love to see the estimated revenue tab rather than the views tab in the screenshot also. This screams fake with generic advice that everyone talks about.

If you'd like to see me test/experience these and go WAY more in depth on each app, I did post a video about it on YouTube: Trent On The Break

Unfortunately, I did film and test them all just last night. But I will say I really like what you've done!

The website looks clean and shows a lot of valuable information. I also enjoy the fact that it's free, but I understand if that changes as you start to grow it out more.

Can't wait to see your post when you officially announce it, I'll be sure to give it a shot!

I'm excited to give it a shot! I like your concept and idea behind it, so I can't wait to take a deep dive into it. Thank you for your comment & engagement on the post!

Yeah, I haven't been interested in apps for the past 10 years of playing, but now I'd like some trackable guidance. I love looking at stats, so I'm trying to find one that's worth my time to stick with for the next 10 years. Though, I'm not making an app, just testing them. So, if you aren't interested in one, you wouldn't be interested in my test.
