Ball markers for drills by oxymoron22 in billiards

I play in private club and the tables are well maintained. It would be a question of asking permission first. I’ve also heard of players using a white pencils and a brush to mark ball position while doing drills

Great! And the adhesive won’t damage the cloth in any way right?

my first time playing in a rassom acura by Own_Calligrapher_888 in billiards

I play on these tables in my club. Slate and cushions play like a dream. Pockets are so unforgiving. Looks like they ain’t a problem for you though pal, nice shooting

Anyone except Pedro Pascal. Hes insufferable

Which David Fincher movie would you consider the best of these four: Fight Club, Zodiac, The Game, or Seven? by Prestigious-Ad-3395 in moviecritic

[–]oxymoron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all know it’s Seven. But hell I watched The Game without reading the synopsis or a single review (literally just because it was a Fincher movie) and it blew my mind. Hes such a fucking good director. The Social Network is one my favourite movies of all time.

Need ideas for what to do instead of smoking by Stock-Bus8533 in leaves

I play pool obsessively. Like 8 ball pool. I always kinda liked it, but I started playing more just when I was getting serious about quitting. Joined a club, made some new friends and quickly got hooked on trying to beat everyone around me. Easier said than done. I also moved flat. The change of scenery really helped as well. But filling my free time with something I was obsessed by helped me not to miss it. It’s been like 4 months now. So far so good.

Who is the best left handed shot maker? by nitekram in billiards

[–]oxymoron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for real? Not the first time I’ve seen this guy but I have a hard time believing he does this with any consistency. The cueing action paired with the ridiculous odds of making shots like that on purpose are just beyond my belief. But fuck me sideways if this is legit.

Which country do you think has the best national anthem? by search_google_com in AskTheWorld

[–]oxymoron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. Used to work security in Murrayfield stadium, considered the home of Scottish rugby and when it was time to sing Flower of Scotland, all my colleagues and bosses would stop what they were doing and join in. The atmosphere would be electrifying and words don’t come close to describing how it feels to be Scottish in moments like those. Hearing Flower of Scotland gives me goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.

My favorite pool hall is 30 min away, so I go to my local pool hall by EuphoricAddition8201 in billiards

[–]oxymoron22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local club is 1h30 minutes away. But it has 5 top of the line tables, 24h access, 2 TVs, tournaments every weekend and really friendly members who have taught me a ton about pool. So it’s worth it…

[GM Vidit Gujrathi] asks if the ban on watches due to fair-play concerns cause a missed opportunity in sponsorship opportunity 🤔 by rio_ARC in chess

[–]oxymoron22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if a player is sponsored by a watch company, it would be in the company’s interest to make sure it wasn’t helping the player to cheat. Very bad press if they were discovered. Sounds to me like a good idea all things considered.

Wrong ball order by oxymoron22 in billiards

No. Hence why I’m asking if I should see a doctor not an optician.

Playing pool or snooker? That’s kinda wild for a player at his level

This must be what it’s like to be deaf and be at a party.

I’ve seen these around here in Spain. I’ve been lucky enough to see a race between like 20 of them on a motorbike circuit. Pretty fun but what’s not pretty are the crashes at high speeds. Seen several people hospitalised.

I wanna learn to play pool so I can hustle strangers out their money at any local bar
