the best way to not win is if your opponent runs the table; you had no part in your loss.

Still a loss though

[@Adamthecoolguy123]

Let me say this, what people say about him being the only one to play is right, but also you have to acknowledge how skillful and precise you have to be to clear the whole table without the other person getting a chance. Good job to you, but they are right in a way.

[@Vstrum]

I feel like a cool house rule in this situation would be to give the opponent a chance to clear all his balls in one turn and if he does it’s a draw

[@CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

It's easier to clear all your balls after the other person has cleared theirs though

[@chrisoconnor8392]

​@@attacking8ballyes really. You played nobody.

[@SideQuest3]

​@georgevause8641 That is why pool matches often have multiple frames, for example playing first to 9 frames. There will be the occasional break and clearance but the majority of frames are played by both players. It takes a lot of skill to clear the table so if they are able to do it off the break then they deserve the point. I don't know why it is difficult to understand.

[@cjykqn]

Beautiful shots! Love from across the pond🇺🇲🎱

[@trevarious1]

That’s why pro’s play 1st to like 5 games cuz usually the person that wins the break runs the whole table

[@Kevin1264]

In a single rack, sure. It's generally played in a race format though, with longer races for better players. SVB and Fedor Gorst just finished a 3 day race to 120, final score 120-116.

Got a strange cue action there, when you connect with the cue ball you move the tip across the ball to the left putting left on the cue ball but it works for you 👍🏻

[@devlinpatrick887]

I'm relatively new to pool, I am just curious, because I see people at the bar and such that are pretty consistent at cleaning the table, so what is the separating factor between a professional who presumably can clear pretty well vs just a guy at the bar that also seems to be able to clear pretty well?

[@attacking8ball]

All comes down to consistency. Pro players are a lot more consistent with their positional play and overall cue ball control whereas the majority of decent pub level players are able to do it occasionally but not all of the time 👍

[@devlinpatrick887]

@attacking8ball I appreciate the explanation. That's kinda what I figured, just wasn't sure if that was just my untrained eye missing something.

[@nicospapaioannou2769]

Pros can also do it under pressure, with audience, in pool tables with very tight pockets, and in games where they are allowed only 30 sec for each shot.

[@waywardshaman]

That’s not beating a pro; that’s just running a table.

How does that break thing at start works ( both of you hitting cue ball )

[@mjc8247]

It just decides who breaks. Closest to the cushion breaks.

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

It's called lag and is used to decide who gets to break first.

[@andrewbeam9887]

Those were some nice shots but it's not a competition if it's only 1 match. I'd say at least 3 matches, any less an it's just not seen as competitive.

[@honeybadger9001]

@@attacking8ball Think he's getting confused and assuming one of the balls touched your cue during the break? Perhaps the POV makes it look like a red or yellow touched the cue (which it didn't), or perhaps he assumes the white touched the cue because it stops abruptly (due to you striking low on the white). Either way there was no double touch. Nice clearance btw.

Weird comment I know, but in case there are any flat earthers that are reading this, notice how with this fisheye lense, the distortion changes as the camera is moved about. The same changing distortion would take place when viewing the Earth through a fisheye lens, if it were indeed flat.
