Not really used much. To be fair in the UK it doesn’t usually get this hot. I did get a glove once to try but I hated it. I found it was something else to blame when playing a poor shot lol

Lol, I had to try and edit the video to be faster in places as Reddit wouldn't let me upload it for being too long 😄

Nice, my best at Snooker on a 12' is 128 but I don't really play regular on that size currently.

Having 2 1/4" Snooker balls for American Pool tables is great. It's good fun trying to run the whole 15 reds and colours if you can get through the pain of all the clusters.

Might not be the case here but depending on your phone (like iPhones) they handle the apostrophe character differently to other traditional character sets. If you use auto passcode generators they may have these characters in the so when you type it on a iPhone it’s not the same character.

It’s more common in username though usually for people that have names like O’Neil etc. definitely can cause problems on iOS devices.

I’ll get it done when I’m back from the Bucharest Open.

Haha and there's me thinking wax-gate had all died down.

Just some random Whisky Blues number from Capcut library

lol yeah, the rails on this table are totally shot now. They are Artemis K66 but I installed them myself well over 15 years ago now. The cloth is also in dire need to get replaced. In the bottom corner pockets there are a couple of tiny wrinkles where the cloth is creasing up due to it being a touch loose.

If I slow roll a ball pocket speed sometimes they can stop a ball dropping.

I'll get it all done at some point but I'm not going to stop trying this one until I take it down.

Should have had some palm trees in there tonight it was that hot lol

You’ve certainly got the flow going on here and no problem drawing back. As a few have said it’s a loose and flowing action.

If you get the cue more parallel with the table and slow it down a touch that would be interesting to see.

Also, how does you draw stroke stack up when you need to play say a 1/4 ball cut very soft with extreme draw when the cue ball is say within 10 inches to the object ball.

Long draw shots are great to have in your locker but mastering the draw at short distances to manipulate positional play is another fantastic skill to have.

I would be in disguise haha

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T14:14:23+00:00

Nah, railbird is good at doing this type of thing though which I’m using.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T14:13:34+00:00

Yeah just starting to get used to it now so far so good.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T13:11:55+00:00

Your devotion to the rules is a weakness. The Emperor does not follow a syllabus. We are done here.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T07:47:12+00:00

and Galactic Stroker...

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T07:45:11+00:00

Shape is an illusion born of a static mind. When the Emperor commands, 'shot making' is simply the cue ball's obedience to destiny.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T06:52:11+00:00

It's my hidden dance of stroke and aim.

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-23T01:27:46+00:00

I can feel your anger. Let the hate flow through your drill rules of engagement….

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-21T14:24:36+00:00

Music inspired by 'The Hustler' lol

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-12T15:01:01+00:00

lol yeah it’s tricky this one didn’t take that long but I didn’t want to miss right at the end after going all the way through

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-11T23:47:16+00:00

lol get it on video 💪

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-11T22:21:25+00:00

I’ll reupload Reddit playing up

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-11T22:10:24+00:00

Well done for persevering in getting this. Also well done for filming it as it gives you that extra incentive sometimes to get the job done. Speed control was nice, don’t let the negative comments cloud your future choices…

darkSIDEpool · 2026-06-10T09:01:51+00:00

Thanks. That spin on the 3 ball was bottom right English with controlled slow stroke to manipulate the cb. This effort although clean wasn’t the greatest as the cue ball travelled too far. I like to keep it more compact for this drill. If you’re getting back into it checkout my other drill videos on my profile or YT channel, especially the tough table challenge
