[@jasonparker6138]

I went ahead and subscribed. I don't like to take chances.😄

[@Amateur_Pool]

Lol.. good idea, lol

[@johnnyroc]

Hi, I’m APA7 as well.. You guys 520s or 570s? Cool video. Loosing the rock but getting out haha.

[@Amateur_Pool]

I'm around 540, last i looked. Used to play BCA but, haven't played many fargo tourneys in a few years now. Appreciate you watching!

[@randymallett]

Great video Josh! And great playing as well! 👍🏼 Really smooth production and excellent commentary. The ONLY thing I'd change (and this is nitpicking), is the camera angle. Most prefer the view from the end of the table. But man.... job. well. done. 👏💯

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks, Randy! It's hard to get good angles at some of these venues, but i agree.

[@randymallett]

@Amateur_Pool Yeah that's true. But still, the angle is good enough and the commentary was excellent. I'd do the same but I have a face for radio and my country accent is thicker than Missouri humidity in August. 😅

[@Amateur_Pool]

@@randymallett lmaooooo

[@jaypisme2343]

I play alone all the time I had to learn to play pool again after quitting drinking. It was like starting all over it sucked. Had a apa guy come over about a year ago and we were dead even really. He was a 6 and said I would also be a 6. Don’t know anything about the rankings as I’ve never played apa. I used to hustle pool but had to have the beer buzz and I had my nights. I’m better now than I’ve ever been and now I can do it without alcohol. My eyes are going bad and it really sucks but I can play ok with glasses. Thanks for the videos awesome commentary!

[@jaypisme2343]

And I went from a bar box to a 8 foot table with 4 1/4 pockets in a wet dirty car shop. Inside spin is hard to pocket with any speed.

[@Amateur_Pool]

This is awesome! Keep on playing. It sounds like you enjoy it. Thanks for watching, and the feedback

[@HaveAnother775]

Hell yeah! You don't need booze, we do!

[@clarkcowan3984]

Seen a few. Time to subscribe. Good content. Love the retalk over.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks, Clark! Appreciate you

[@icesdeath]

What camera do you use?

[@Amateur_Pool]

using a gopro for now... will likely change it up down the road though

[@standupforgood7810]

Look for the hour glass shape on those rail shots. Aim for the hour glass and it goes every time.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Love it!

[@antoniog9814]

27:52 Tie your 15-ball to his 1-ball. Make him earn the run-out.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Definitely an option!

[@adelalami7203]

Hey there, thank you for the great video you shared with us. Are you both skill level 9? how come in the video it says 7 next to your names? and why are different size of tables being used in APA and CPA? thanks for your time.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Hey man! We are skill level 9 in 9 ball and skill level 7 in 8 ball. Not sure why the tables are different. We play on 7ft tables in the US! Thanks for the kind words!

[@antoniog9814]

18:11 It's legume, not lagoon, hahaha!

[@Amateur_Pool]

Lol 🤣😂

[@thomascanfield8571]

We need two overhead cameras with good zoom

[@Amateur_Pool]

That would be sweet. I'm playing league matches at someone else's venue though. Hard to set up multiple cameras, let alone an overhead. I did just get a new camera so, I'll be figuring out how to use my gopro for a nice overhead shot when I'm at home. That'll help a bit. Thanks for the comment

[@raelynnclinard]

1,000% agree on the pool etiquette.. cant stand people getting in my line of vision while I'm playing.. i really need to work on not letting it bother me, though... also, that draw on the four to get on the 8... dude.. that bridge was so far away! get closer to the cue ball and it can help reduce the movement on the stick due to the pivot point, which in turn helps your accuracy, at least for me lol... good shooting sir!

[@Amateur_Pool]

That's true.. any flaw in my stroke is exaggerated with a longer bridge.. i need to shorten it some

[@raelynnclinard]

@@Amateur_PoolI tend to try to stick to between 6"-8", especially when trying to any kind of strong/powerful shot. also, I always stick to a closed/looped bridge on them to help steady my stroke. I'm such a soft shooter that any time I have to put some power into it, it throws off my stroke about half the time >.>

[@hammerlane3871]

I'm pretty sure the hitman is already taken by some guy named thorsten Hohman lol

[@Amateur_Pool]

Lol

[@Lexicologist1971]

I've made insane shots in games I could never make in practice.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Funny how that works, right?

[@standupforgood7810]

I've made insane shots in practice I could never make in a match game. Lol.

[@winger-eo1qf]

Don't know about this pool hall as I quit playing in Lapeer 20 years ago.

[@Amateur_Pool]

You should check them out.

[@mellowman8695]

Nice animation

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks 😂

[@Seri-Katil]

Apa needs to change that jump rule. We should be allowed to switch to our break sticks. It's not like apa is gonna replace any damage done to our playing cues for following their bs rule

[@Amateur_Pool]

I agree. Make it okay to jump when 2 higher skill levels play each other.

[@benhill9257]

That was an Efren kick safe on the 8-ball lol

[@Amateur_Pool]

Or, as i like to call it.. "lucky safe" lol

[@Amateur_Pool]

That's what is called when i do it.. when Efren does it, it's 100% skill

[@benhill9257]

Efren's favorite saying "I got lucky"

[@fastfeh1]

Less than 10 to make that safety agian

[@Amateur_Pool]

Which one? Got a time stamp? I'll set it up and recreate it for ya, lol

[@sirturdaloter141]

Excellent explanation of corning yourself! Leave a duck for dinner and look for cover!

Thanks homie!

@@Amateur_Pool, You got it man!

[@TheFalcor]

Foul @ 12:30? Your cue caught the 2

[@Amateur_Pool]

Ya, it looks like i did touch the 2 ball there. It's cue ball foul only in that league, though

[@Rubster760]

Good game 👍.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thank you!

[@calie01915]

People should subscribe for the entertainment value. Though I’d love to learn jump shots.

[@Amateur_Pool]

I did a short on jump shots. There isn't a ton to teach with them. It's one of those shots you just gotta practice a bit

[@seanberry9401]

What size table is this?

[@Amateur_Pool]

7ft

[@johnloughrey1636]

Its not non- vegan it's just simply carnivore

[@Amateur_Pool]

Meatatarian, lol

[@rogerharris231]

Nope, I really can't think of any reason at all for seeing the commentators, and nope, I'd rather not.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks for the feedback

[@johnloughrey1636]

[@coronanestor]

How do u guys know or rate your skill or player level ?

[@Amateur_Pool]

The skill levels that we mentioned are associated with league play. Your level goes up and down with wins and loses on league

[@timbarnett6191]

I'm surprised that yall are ranked 9 in 8 ball? Were i play, we can go as high as 7 in 8 ball, 9 in 9 ball. Maybe we aren't that good. Lol

[@Amateur_Pool]

LOL - thanks for catching my mistake in the title! I'll fix it :)

[@lunchboxjoeb]

vegetables arent real. its literally a culinary term... every vegetable is something else.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Hmmm.. very insightful

[@normanczerski5221]

The guy having stripes didn't one of his balls first, the guy having solids should have had ball in hand.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Nice catch. I didn't even notice

[@petecosgrove7421]

I don't like you... but I do like you

[@DumireDrDrum]

you let your shaft out too far. thats why you miss cued.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Probably

[@fastfeh1]

Too much stick out the end of your hand.

[@Amateur_Pool]

that's what my wife says too! lol

[@waynestouffer6532]

I play apa 8 and 9 ball weekly. As a captain , it is imperative that I know the rules. Unless you in the masters division you are required to mark your pocket for the 8 ball. You are not doing so. It is illegal to conceded a match at any stage. You are doing so. Sending the wrong message in your video. I don't believe that you can pick what rules you want to play by.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Good advice.. It is a rule to mark your pocket and, you're not allowed to concede matches. However, was i supposed to not post this video because of that? This is not an APA youtube channel. It's an amateur pool channel. I don't work for the APA.

[@NefariousMinds]

So, I have, what I believe, is a fantastic idea to make pool great again. Maybe better than it's ever been. Would you be interested in an interview? If you like it, you can feel free to post. I have tried to contact other people, and they told me to talk to investors lol! I'm not necessarily interested in making money off it as much as I would like to see it be a reality.

[@Amateur_Pool]

That's my goal also. Reach out to me on Facebook (joshua allen powell). I'd like to hear your idea and see if i can help

[@NefariousMinds]

@@Amateur_Pool I'm not on social media 😂 Eric has my, (Dave M), number. Maybe we can hook up and shoot some while we talk about it. I'm about 1.5hrs away from side pockets, so I don't mind meeting up there. Maybe Eric has a new number idk. Chris George has my number for sure.

[@NefariousMinds]

I'm having Chris get ahold of you and give you my info.

[@Amateur_Pool]

@@NefariousMinds sounds good!

[@extraordinary_pan]

I’ll play anyone of you for $100 a rack I was raised by Minnesota cats

[@Amateur_Pool]

Well, damn... not sure i want to play anyone that was raised by cats... lol

Raised by cats so he might be sneaky good! Lol. Are cats better in Minnesota? Lol

@@jaynosowsky9708 it's one thing to be raised by cats but, I've heard that the cats in Minnesota shoot pool exceptionally well, LOL
