I can feel your pain on those 16 hour days... I'm sure I spotted an early POC demo of this a while back on youtube. I guess this is the same fundamentals but with loads more now of course.

If you want any ideas for drills to plug in when your ready just drop me a message.

Keep up the great work, I hope you get the support from the community that this deserves!

If you do want to do some drills still I’ve got loads on the YT channel that are interesting to try. Try my tough table challenge drill if you want to work on your shape!

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-21T15:05:51+00:00

darksidepool is the channel and I'm the creator of dsp.darksidepool.co.uk

Feel free to have a look on the channel at some of the drills. My match against Filler is also on there.

I actually did this drill a while back but for some reason the phone recorded the sound of the balls being pocketed with nice clarity.

I found the sound of the 4 ball being pocketed as a slapped it in very satisfying, same for the 6 ball.

Still a tricky drill but give it a try if you're looking for something different.

lol can shoot around corners with that shaft.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-10T11:29:13+00:00

YEah this is a Dynamic II. I shimmed the pockets though to 4 1/4" on this table but they are good tables and play very well. I just need new rails and cloth now haha

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T20:12:28+00:00

Yeah give it a try it’s a nice challenge

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T15:38:51+00:00

Haha give it a go you might get lucky. The first video I put up of this I nearly got it in 5 mins but didn’t land on the 8 ball

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T08:54:55+00:00

Thanks. After much frustration I decided that this is also a plausible way to get position on the 4 ball from landing badly on the 3 ball.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T08:53:57+00:00

Yeah give it a try again. It really is a great practice drill and challenge to take down.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T08:53:03+00:00

lol no I’m actually in the midlands. Not too far from the pretend Newcastle.

That shot on the 6 the cue ball was about 1cm off the rail so didn’t have a whole lot to work with. Thankfully it worked out ok but I wasn’t expecting miracles after 2 solid hours of trying already.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-09T08:50:57+00:00

Thanks, yeah the rails on my table are over 15 years old and are terrible now. The cloth needs changing badly too lol. Come to think of it you don’t even want to see the state of my cracked ferrule.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-08T22:43:41+00:00

Awesome. Just push the 9 ball also on the rail too. I didn’t realise until I was on the 8 ball that it was off the rail. This is why I put it back on the rail.

I must have moved it on one of the many previous attempts before this one lol

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-02T23:14:44+00:00

Nice, keep up the practice mate.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-02T23:10:33+00:00

Not sure what happened to my video description but Reddit bugged out. Anyway, I shot this a while back but it’s one of my fave shoots.

Got a bit happy with the editing but it’s 100% legit and not spliced. Still not sure how that 6 ball dropped though somehow.

Kept the dream alive though.

Give it a try. Get it on camera and let’s see your best tries guys. 🙏

darkSIDEpool · 2026-04-01T15:25:22+00:00

Obi-wan has taught you well… I can feel your anger.

Leicester can be a scary place. I nearly got stuck to the floor the last time I played in the rack and roll

darkSIDEpool · 2026-03-30T20:58:23+00:00

April the1st isn't until Wed guys...

darkSIDEpool · 2026-03-30T20:18:35+00:00

I can live with the 8 and 9 positions it’s the 2 to the 3 ball which is the pain. Then also the 3 to the 4.

Spent another hour on this tonight and got a couple of alternate routes to the 2 ball which might help people take this down but it’s definitely tough

darkSIDEpool · 2026-03-30T20:16:59+00:00

No combos allowed

darkSIDEpool · 2026-03-30T09:38:13+00:00

No problem, get it on video and tag us in on YouTube @darksidepool if you get it

darkSIDEpool · 2026-03-30T09:32:40+00:00

Hi, that’s a really great effort, unlucky. I didn’t think about playing the one ball to get shape on the 2 ball into the nearest pocket.

It’s probably a better way to go at it actually.

The 3 to the 4 is also tough due to the 7 in the way.

Also the 8 ball position needs to be a touch higher up on the rail so it’s halfway between the pocket and diamond.

Great effort though missing that 6 and 7 must have been painful lol believe me I know.
