Mate with that 7mm tip i could have spun that ball up and down that table twice lol, your strike and aim is different on almost every shot. I'm not being an asshole, just my opinion. All the best.

You left your clothing hanging on the left 01:16 😂

In blackball rules as I know them you could have still gone reds if you didn't pot the red though your opponent would then have an open table. My pool league is EPA rules of which you would have been locked on to yellows. The only real differences between blackball and international is the ball in hand rule blackball is anywhere behind the line with one free shot one visit and international being one visit white anywhere on the table and also you don't have to hit a cushion after contact in blackball when snookered as long as a total snooker is agreed where as international you have to hit a cushion after contact no matter what or pot a ball.

Hey you didnt teach the correct way in integrating excel in obs you only teach the basic!

Where’s that white going?!

Great video but definitely think using an overlay from somewhere like keep the score is the better way to go for someone just starting out

Amazing - loved seeing this

Hi thank you for the informative vids - Im new to pool will it then be better to start playing with a big tip and then gradualy go smaller as I progress in my games then? thnax

Thanks, just what I was looking for. I also couldn't believe that the tip size justifies buying a cue for billiards if you already own a snooker cue. At least as an amateur like me, it's obviously not necessary. It may be that professionals will notice a difference. What a shame, these negative comments.

Thanks for posting. Just invested in a stream deck and your video is just what I was looking for to help set up 8, 9 & 10-ball scoring for my livestreams.

in my opinion and experience of trying different tip sizes, 9mm is the perfect tip size. Any smaller you get unwanted throw. Any bigger and cueing over balls or off cushions gets a little trickier. In fact many pros and now now going for larger tips.

Good to know!

What size is your room for your table?

Never knew british 8 ball was so small and child sized. Reminds me of those little peg billiard boards.

8:12 - 8:15 i completely agree, told my gf that too but she didn’t believe me.. thanks for the video though

I recently started playing English pool and I want to buy a cue but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. Also I don’t know where to buy from and what brand. Any suggestions?

Curious what the dimensions of that table are ... Seems smaller than a 7 foot american "bar box"

Chelsea football club😅

Can’t hit where he wants to on the cue ball. Inconsistent

the difference would show much better on a snooker table probably

For conclusive results, try using very short strokes using just the tip before moving to full shaft strokes. For best results, gather feedback from a knowledgeable playing partner. Results may vary and dissapoint.

I've used my 9.5mm snooker cue for the past 20y never had any issues and deep screw is do easy on pool table

This is literally, the first video. I’ve watched about pool and billiards since I retired from the game 25 years ago. For some reason, I got an itch to start playing again. So while looking trends in equipment, I saw this video. It’s kind of interesting to see that many good players are going to 12 mm tips. I started playing 12 mm tips when Timmy and Bill set me up with 12 mm tip when they built my first Joss way back in the 80’s. Unfortunately, that cue was lost an armed robbery outside of the bowling center where I had been playing one pocket for the previous 13 hours. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, they didn’t get any money from me because I had an off day. LMAO , but they still got my freaking cue and sucked.

There ya go mate. I see you took the bra off the drying rack between shots. ; )

What size, brand, and model is this pool table? I want one!!

when your mrs uses your pool room to hang the washing!

Low english ,high english, and the break results from the cue moving at the greatest speed , will give the most positive result.

Yep, all these tips are Amateur Selections...

I noticed that your table is much smaller in comparison to tournament tables, is that a personal choice or you just want a table that fits your room

I completely disagree with your conclusion that the size of the tip does not matter for draw. (and all english but you were demonstrating draw here). It's simple geometry that says the smaller the cue tip, the lower you can get on the cue ball, hence, the more spin you can create. There is just no way to get around that fact. Yes you took ball in hand, and hit each shot at about break speed, so yes you got cue ball action. But use less force and see what happens. In real world games a smaller tip will get lower on the cue ball and with less force generate more backspin. Larger tips you have to hit much harder to achieve the same results and that's fine for a demonstration but in a real game you should rarely to never have to hit the cue ball with that much force you will lose all control. Make the test using a real world (game) example, ie, about half (or less) the force you used for this demonstration. The smaller the tip, the lower it can get on the cue ball, the more spin it will create. (PS I've never even seen a 14 mm tip in the U.S. Everyone I know plays with from about a 11.5mm to 12.5 mm).

the bra finished drying half way through the video

4:45 this whole demonstration was anything but scientific and does not provide any data that allows for comparison. not only does every shot take another path, we can also not vouch for comparable power of the shot. once these variables are confined, data should be collected by repetition to remove outliers.

Michael, is the term 'follow-through' poorly worded way of trying to describe the smooth acceleration of the cue from the apex of the back swing through to impact of the ball? I think (don't have the tools to measure) that regardless of what acceleration of the cue as soon as it impacts the ball the tip imparts that acceleration to the white and the cue infact does decelerate as the white moves away.

Thanks fot the video. Few questions How much was the total cost? What table do you have? How long did it take from start to finish? Why did it have to be done over 2 days?

Wow,very very nice. I can tell you're loving the cloth. I'm sure a man of your IT prowess could get a slow mo close up of that shot. Would look very cool

Looks amazing. I love playing on a new cloth 😊

What was the tool used to test the level of the table, where can you get this?

For a match cloth that plays slow, do you have a pool table iron?

Nice!

Jesus so many negative comments

Love a new cloth. What kind did you go for?

✨ 'Promo SM'

Show off 😂

Some good shots bro

Haha, yeah I have seen that shot. Get the short cue out

Sorry for the lack of sound tonight - it seems that I didn't get my streaming settings correct...

what table is that?

Nice drill! I’ll be giving this a try 👍🏻

Great video. You hit some really nice shots there 👏
