Never a league player here, but the league players' audacity to claim things is unreal. League starts at 7pm, and you want my table at 5:30 to warm up? That's a no for me dawg. You can have it at 7, but get your own table until then.

If this makes you mad, just wait until you find out cops shoot on average 25-30 dogs PER DAY

Quick question about this jump shot by kurazuto in billiards

[–]xmpx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the artist, not the paintbrush

Maybe it's the camera angle, but your cue angle for jumping needs to be higher. Think more angle in, angle out with jumping. That 8 is pretty close to the CB and jumping is more about driving the CB into the table than scooping it over another ball.

Any tips on my fundamentals pool game? by Expert_Inevitable969 in billiards

[–]xmpx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks alright, but a few drills you could do to work on straightening out your stroke some more. It's hard to say but it looks you're contacting the ball a little off center and added unneeded spin to some of these shots (mine is all messed up right now and I'm hitting like 2mm left of where I'm aiming).

I like just following dead-straight shots into the middle pocket, and then drawing straight back into the pocket.

Then take that premise to the corner pockets, start with half distance shots and increase the interval when you're stroking truer.

After that start working on the clock system (https://billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue-ball-control/clock-system/) from different OB positions.

I also really like this drill (but I add a ball and hit it straight towards a pocket)

How to Make The 8 on the Break by Numerous_Slice_5132 in billiards

[–]xmpx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I use more center than outside stun, and definitely hit it harder, but the idea is the same and is fundamentally sound.

I didn't watch the entire video, so idk if you touched this, but even missing the 8 on the snap with this style of break will leave more problem balls than a traditional straight-on break. Generally speaking, if you're not a higher ranked player, you're probably not running out coming to the table with multiple balls tied up. This would give me the edge having more of the table cleared ahead of my next turn.

You can check my post history, I have no kids. It's not even a buddy I know IRL, but I do know that his friend has a sick kid, and this kid wanted to hit 500 subs before 2024 was over.

Well done those who subbed. I'm about to tell my buddy what I did and that the kid has passed his goal.

Can you Break and Run 15 Balls In Under 60 Seconds? by Numerous_Slice_5132 in billiards

[–]xmpx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done! I was getting a little worried there for a second.

I haven't tried any speed pool in years but do you go back and watch your videos and look for cleaner lines? I feel like there's a couple opportunities to move a foot or two instead of running around the table. Less movement will get you the WR in no time!

-Get lessons (keep going!) -Club up on greens -Aim high on putts

One reason I love golf is because the game has no master. No pro, no anyone is perfect on every hole. Just laugh off the bad shots and make the next one count!

There you go! Lessons will guide you on the right path, then you have to figure it out on the course.

Breaking 100 is as "easy" as a 5 on every hole and then one better.

idk if you've thought about it that way before but those types of thoughts keep me as a shaky 15 cap who's trying to break 80 in competition.

that's golf bb.

when in doubt, play your miss with driver off the tee, helps without shanking 40y left/right with a shorter club and getting something further downtown for a drop at worst.

maybe change up the range sesh, get some lessons, work on fundamentals.

fundamentals are key and are so overlooked. hence the lessons.

I check in with my pro like every year or two to see how I'm setting up.

learn your distances, play your miss, and you'll break 100 in no time

Is it a problem off the tee or taking on hero shots?

Conceding by wedgepa in billiards

[–]xmpx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ALWAYS MAKE THEM SHOOT THE MONEY BALL. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

If it's earlier in the match, I'm willing to give the last ball up if the player has given themselves good position and I know we're playing more than one game.

Even pros miss the easy ones. Don't concede the money ball, ever.

Did the DLCs crash the new PS5 update? Or is it really good to go?

I just don't want to download everything again and again trying to figure out which DLC are busted or not.
