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!
@@gianuy2118 ok, so what is a) The correct way? And b) what would you like to know?
@8BallPool-AMATEUR thanks for the reply, man. What camera is the most colorful? The logitech or the razer? The most saturated one
@@gianuy2118 I'd say that the razor is the better all rounder with better colour saturation personally
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
@@pieterherbst6954 go with what you're most comfortable with my good man!
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.
@@mothlikeTV contact me if you want to know how to update the scoreboard spreadsheet wise
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.
@@video4sissies somewhat insulting in fairness... Still, bearing in mind the bucket sized pockets of american 9 ball and the fact you can hit a ball halfway down a cushion and still pot it in the corner, it is doubtful that you appreciate the actual skill and precision involved in English 8 ball!
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"
It barely looks even six foot that table.
This is a UK holiday Resort table for the children.

Can’t hit where he wants to on the cue ball. Inconsistent
@@TheKeswani nope not really, just the different size tips on a 1 and 1 8th inch ball all have a different effect
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!!
@pookievanderbilt6889 it's a 6x3 pool diner. I'm not going to recommend where I bought it from since the company were appalling, but you can buy these from places like home leisure direct amd most pool table companies. Like and subscribe! Thanks
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR thank you so much!! And done and done my friend!
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR also how much was it roughly? Thanks if you respond
@@pookievanderbilt6889 including the benches and table top, about 3k
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR thanks my man!
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...
The tip radius has lot to do with correct Cue Ball contact. Too small of a Radius, can create more throw & Squirt. The object ball & cue ball impact each other, each with a 1.125" Radius, in American Pool..., that doesn't cause Throw or Squirt, when the Cue Ball is rolling, but when spin is added, induced spin will alter the object ball's path, after impact......
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
@@oussama8693 merely just because I couldn't fit a larger table! Thanks! Do like and subscribe 😀
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 cue ball does not know or care if it is spinning backward because of being struck by a broomstick or a needle. The cue ball responds with reverse rounds per minute caused by the speed of the cue stick.
@@dougrichards3649 LOL, OK, try that with a Kamui super soft tip on a low deflection shaft like an i3 shaft compared to a broomstick and see how that works for you... My main (and completely correct) argument is one of geometric physics. I'll explain it like this: If you hit middle ball the cue ball does not reverse rotate obviously, correct? If you hit half way between middle ball and table it reverse rotates a very small amount, correct? We all know the geometric physics of the lower you strike the cue ball, the more reverse rotation it will have. I think any and all agree on that. So, obviously, the thinner the shaft, the lower one can get on the cue ball. An 11mm i3 shaft can physically get a lower hit than say a 14 mm shaft. There is zero way to argue that fact. Therefore, all things being completely equal, ie, same type of shaft, same type of tip, simply getting lower on the cue ball will create more reverse spin. This is an inarguable point.
Simple fact I've noticed is that when I use the smaller tip in different games I get more revolutions on the ball, therefore more spin is imparted. This is my experience and thank you everyone for contributing to the debate! :-)
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR Yes you are correct. (As am I lol). This is what 100% of pool players understand, at least after they've played enough to gain some knowledge.
@@MikeM275 A 14mm will achieve more purchase than a 11 mm. Either striking a cue ball with tip 1mm above the cloth will scoop the ball. Go to 2mm, 3mm, 4mm … , I think the first to achieve a legal hit will be the tip with the best grip on the cue ball, speed of cue constant. Has a camera recorded any shaft height measurements? Is a level cue more or less efficient than one that is raised, a degree or few? I consider tip composition with its inherent qualities, driven by speed, to dictate the outcome, the performance of the cue ball.
the bra finished drying half way through the video
It did indeed!
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.
Thanks for your comments. Like and subscribe!
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR no
@@tigerchills2079 ok thanks Sheldon
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.
Follow through means the impact through the ball upon striking the cue ball. The further you push the cue through where the cue ball is the more spin you will impart upon the ball as you strike it.
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR That's actually a misconception. All that follow through really does is that it makes sure that you have a good contact when striking the cueball. If you don't follow through chances are that you decelerate before hitting the cueball.
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?
Hi there! I've got a 6x3 table and the cost of recovering was about 480. The issue encountered was a problem with the cloth out the packet, which sometimes happens and no second cloth in the car! As for time, about 3 hours is where you are looking. Hope this helps!
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR wow that's really expensive. Did that include new rubber cushions?
@droidhacking it's not a cheap process and in all fairness I did want the best possible service for my table. I figured with the use the table gets, as opposed to how much you'd pay over two years for the same usage in a pub or snooker club, it would be very much worth it, and I think it is!
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
I should be able to sort one out methinks! Thank you! :-)
Looks amazing. I love playing on a new cloth 😊
it is frankly a work of art! :-)
@@8BallPool-AMATEUR Your top spin shot was superb
What was the tool used to test the level of the table, where can you get this?
It's called 'The Wedgie' and you can buy one from 8 ball direct: www.8balldirect.com/shop/p/the-wedgie-table-tester
For a match cloth that plays slow, do you have a pool table iron?
An iron will help, however I would venture that you probably haven't actually got a match cloth but something cheaper and been told that you have a match cloth instead... it's what happened to me!
Nice!
Thanks!
Jesus so many negative comments
People like to hate for some reason - it's easier than liking for liking!
Love a new cloth. What kind did you go for?
Hainsworth Match cloth - but am beginning to realise that maybe it won't last too long and will need replacing after a year or so!

Show off 😂
Always!
Some good shots bro
Thanks!
Haha, yeah I have seen that shot. Get the short cue out
Weirdly enough, the first set of attempts used a shorter cue and I found I required a little extra weight to get the reaction on the cue ball!
Sorry for the lack of sound tonight - it seems that I didn't get my streaming settings correct...
what table is that?
It's a 6x3 Supreme Diner with slate bed. Please like and subscribe! thanks!
Nice drill! I’ll be giving this a try 👍🏻
