His videos are brilliant. I'm not a regular player, nor any good, but when I started I got from absolutely nothing to decent thanks to those videos. Hey Rollie, Great video Rollie - Rollie keep'em coming Rollie 👌😊
Ok I'm not even 10 minutes into the video and this is already amazing pool content. Entertaining and educational... Wish I could give more than one like.
I would like to thank Dr. Dave for everything he's done in the billiards world, I enjoy his videos and his studies on ball collisions. His engineer aproach is very apreciated
7:57 "Don't play for position if you already have it. Take what's offered." I know he probably said it in a light way, and perhaps even jokingly, but this is solid advice that many aspiring "good" players need. Most people who learn how to play for position get into the habit of ALWAYS playing for position, often forgetting what the natural path of the cue ball may sometimes offer. Excellent advice. Edit: i accidentally a word
I took quite a few years of lessons and learned a lot. However many of my lesson days were going over things I'd already had learned on my own through online material and practice. Don't underestimate the knowledge that's already at you fingertips online and from the excellent free content you can find on youtube such as this. I find really the only problem I have is information overload. I need to get better at structuring my practice sessions to include the massive amount of information I'm taking in when I'm away from the pool table in video tutorials or just from watching pro pool.
Can you please collab with the guy making the Rollie video cut to edit in a rolling-lip hic-up-burp for every time Dr. Dave says "Rollie". The Internet needs this.
yo Rollie, your links are combined with the ending brackets ) and it's gonna be a bit of an issue for mobile users and some other less technical users to click on them properly. Just a heads up :)
@@RollieWilliams Just put spaces between the parenthesis and the URL. Example: ( ua-cam.com/users/DrDaveBilliards ) / ( www.dashlane.com/rollie ) - Btw, love your videos! I wish you posted more often! Keep it up brotha!
Thanks to you too, ROLLIE! You did a great job keeping it fun during the filming, and you also did a great job with the editing. I look forward to filming something with you again in the future. You got mad video productions skills, bro. Peace and love, ROLLIE!
One of the funniest videos I've watched in a while. Love Dr. Dave, he's a champion of the sport, and a wholesome-ass dude! "Now you're getting a little weird Rollie."
Iv'e played pool with some of the best.... it comes down to one thing only...mechanics! Moving your head or anything else for that matter alters your shot dramatically. I always see these videos on playing tips but it nobody ever talks about the number one rule....Don't freaking move anything.... Best tip Jeremy Soussie taught me was...pretend you have a glass of water on your head during the follow through. NOTHING SHOULD MOVE! JUST YOUR ELBOW AND FOLLOW THROUGH CENTER BALL! Once you master the proper mechanics then your game will increase dramatically.
All the "Rollie" jokes aside, there is no doubting that Dr. Dave is an absolute master teacher of pool! EVERYONE who watched this video has absolutely learned SOMETHING! It was also such a great treat to find out that he had Robert Byrne's table. Mr. Byrne was an amazing teacher as well and his table is definitely in good hands with Dr. Dave! His book "Standard Book of Pool & Billiards" is basically a bible for billiard shots!! He also has many videos on exercises and shot making. Great video. Thanks for sharing...and congratulations on your recent graduation!!! :~)
Dave Alciatore is the man, great material right here! And I dig his book The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards, as well as his Billiards Digest articles on throw and squirt, particularly. It was very insightful technical material. Dave has made the articles easy to find online. Also, he uses properly-scaled, accurate diagramming of shots in all his material, which I appreciate. Precise, accurately-drawn diagrams are very important for pool instructional material, yet most of the billiards instructional books I've read fail to get them right.
Dr. Dave says "Rollie" often because that's what intelligent people do. It has been proven that one of the most ego-boosting things you can do to someone is call them by their first name. Dave wanted Rollie to feel good, and judging by Rollie's facial expressions, he was feeling just fine.
Also after a while it became a running gag so I'm sure it's also part of the comedy/show :) That said, DrDave is an incredible tutor, consider yourself lucky Rollie :P
Rollie, I'm so excited that you will entered US open But, if Dr. Dave entered the tour as well, I'd rather bet my money on him Lol Where's the run out??? Good luck and cheer up, broo
I spent most of my day in the lab doing spectroscopy that involves mapping 3 dimensional images of mineral crystals. That was easy on the brain compared to 3 times the the Peace sign...which is actually the harmonic equivalent of ‘Kumbaya’. Kidding aside. These are the most well explained lessons on the web. I actually use the ‘nitty gritty stuff’ I learn. Witty banter a bonus.
Don't want to brag with my BU Scores but just want to tell you how much I've learnt of all the shots I've made while making the test: 46, 54, 62, 67, 73, 64, 75, 66. According to exam, strong Master to weak Doctorate. Will keep up this in my weekly routine!
Maybe another episode is a lesson from Philippines Pro Player like Carlo Biado, Jeffrey Ignacio? Just to understand their perspective about pool. Anyway love your content man! Keep em comin'!
Love the cheesy dry humor. Love that he has Byrne’s table!!!! Wish ya’ll could see the room I built in my study. Started playing again after a 10y break. Love the game!!!!
I wonder if Dave uses rapid calculations of angles during his play or if he’s developed the intuition to just know at this point. He clearly seems smart enough to run through this calculations quickly before each shot
As a mathematician, i cringe in every engineering aproximations... But i love too much this guy. The way he studied and mastered the art of pool is remarkable. So grateful for this guy
As a physicist, I can assure you that Dr Dave's "approximations" are based on allowances (defined by the physical laws of kinematics) which are driven by the variability of conditions. If you read through Dr Dave's many technical papers you too can enjoy the advanced mathematics/mechanics he uses to derive the very behaviors one sees when billiard balls collide/interact with various rotational states, etc. His solutions are exact HOWEVER in real life exact solutions ARE the approximations because "noise" is unaccounted for and when noise is accounted for, it can only ever be best approximation of noise sources. By noise in this context I mean uncontrolled variability of properties of the "system" such as cloth surfaces/types, cushion rebound, ball types/surfaces, cues, chalk, humidity, temperature not to mention this biggest one: players. Don't cringe good Sir, understand his intent and rejoice in the power of making mathematics of the complicated both practical and sharable with the general public. I assure you Dr Dave knows exactly what he's talking about. I've checked his derivations and he is spot on. His PhD was not given, it was earned and rightfully so. Hope this is helpful to all readers!
Thanks for putting your time and effort to make videos like this. 51 mins isn't long at all I would watch this if its longer than endgame. Learn so much. Thank you. Anyone serious about pool should watch this.
Super glad that you spent some time with Dr. Dave. His videos have been very helpful to me. Are you planning to try his exams, posting your scores? I don't think it's necessary for you to post the entire video of your test. But I think that it would be very helpful for all of us rank amateurs to see how we rate against you as you head to the tournament. Then, we can see a bit better how we might fare, playing through you.
I've thought dr Dave is the best source of pool instruction for years... no hocus pocus or "well it's always worked for me" nonsense. It does not surprise me but I did not know he was an actual Dr, haha. This was a great video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Keep up the good job Rollie (!) :) 420
I've watched a few of Dr Dave's videos and quite a few others. Ushally it's above my skill set. But this video really helped me to understand exactly what he meant/means in his and others videos. Wow just knowing these tips will drastically improve my game. Now just to remember everything.......... Thank you to the both of you.
For anyone keeping score... I counted 74 "Rollies" for an average rate of 1.45 RPM (rollies per minute).
Only 74? I expected it to be several hundreds :D
rpm's lmao good one
Ah ha man...
@@BlackStarEOP that is 51/1.45*74 that should be several hundred rollies 😂😂😂
2602 rollies lol
New drinking game, take a drink for every Rollie.
Who would have ever guessed Dr Dave could almost out-personality Rollie 😂
90s Youth Pastors be like
I was waiting for him to crack a dad joke any moment
I didn’t guess that ... and I was not proven wrong
What's the most important rule in pool Rollie ?
"Friendship"
LooooooL
Dr Dave seems like such a sincere and chill dude. Great video
He completely is.
He really is. He is a friend of mine and plays in my local league. Our team beat them team last year for the top league championship.
His videos are brilliant. I'm not a regular player, nor any good, but when I started I got from absolutely nothing to decent thanks to those videos. Hey Rollie, Great video Rollie - Rollie keep'em coming Rollie 👌😊
@Maiahi I've had several replies from Dave in his UA-cam comments. If you have something interesting to say I'm sure he will chat with you there!
peace and love brother
Man you're going big time with all these collabs. That's Dr. DAVE for cryin out loud!
Wym he played with pros lol he went big time when he did trick shots with venom lol

Edit: i accidentally a word
I’d pay an arm and a leg to have a private lesson from Dr. Dave.
Peace and love brother!
Dr Dave actually does coaching and his prices are on his website
If it’s your own arm the lesson wouldn’t be much worth it I’m afraid... :p
Bro just sell your kidney his pricing is 150/hr you can have plenty of lessons for just selling your kidney!

In This Show: Rollie making old pool heads slightly uncomfortable by being a dank meme
Dr. Dave is the perfect example of "Those who can, teach".
Except the saying is "those who can do and those who cant teach"
It's nice to see Dr. Dave more loose and outgoing when instructing. Thank you for this haha
Yes, clear, concise, informative, and very personable. He's just a really teacher.
“Let’s see who can get the highest now “ - dr. Dave
Snooker Ghost I mean he does teach at Colorado state...
The man is a genius . A very pure and genuine human
Wow, mad respects for this guy. You can definitely see how dedicated and passionate he is from this video. Thanks for this great episode Rollie.
What’s the most important thing in pool Rollie?...Friendship 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
dave we get it.. YOU LOVE WEED! hahahaha
Fastest 51 mins.
Hey Rollie! You should do upload a unedited video of your Billiard University Exams 1 & 2 on your channel if u can, thanks!
Well Rollie...First thing were going to do Rollie...You're doing great Rollie...Peace and Love Rollie

@@ezekiel763 No clue, Rollie never got back to us on that
Ive been wondering for months. I even randomly comment on his videos asking for the score, my guess is its above "average player"

I first, watched this video in pursuit of pool knowledge. But I keep coming back for the comedy.
so cool. the funniest billiards guy and the best pool teacher in one video....nice
I would advice against using the “peace” sign in England, especially if you reverse it like that. People might take it the wrong way haha
Indeed. Over there, it means “up yours!”
Kinda like how we have “Fanny packs” over here, but they have “bum bags”. Because the word “Fanny” has rather different meaning over there....
One round of beer and you forget everything he said except the Peace Sign
Maybe another episode is a lesson from Philippines Pro Player like Carlo Biado, Jeffrey Ignacio? Just to understand their perspective about pool. Anyway love your content man! Keep em comin'!

His own pool hall, in his basement... 😂
@@Suk4sh1 me too =/, but other than someone's own basement, I play @ some bars and pool halls and I'd assume he does as well. (I know you're joking)

being P.C isn't a concern at Dr. Dave's school of billiards
Love the video and am super excited to watch you at the us open! When does that start and are you going to be filming your own vlogs at the event?
Seriously, Rollie. & Dr Dave in one video! This is too much, probably deserves an oscar.
Game 2 illegal, unsportsmanlike break. Soft breaking is mostly frowned apron and becoming more and more illegal obviously knows the table
Whats the real channel is it KAMUI BRAND or Rollie William?
In England we call it spin. In USA you call it English
We use both interchangeably.
Dave is funnier than I expected =)
I wonder if Dave uses rapid calculations of angles during his play or if he’s developed the intuition to just know at this point. He clearly seems smart enough to run through this calculations quickly before each shot
Why did it feel so uncomfortable watching this?
I feel you, sorta
When I was a teenager I got a book by Robert Bryne. It helped me immensely.
wait a minute 26:41 where did he come from??
I don’t know why but Dr. Dave’s voice is so satisfying
As a mathematician, i cringe in every engineering aproximations...
But i love too much this guy. The way he studied and mastered the art of pool is remarkable. So grateful for this guy
As a physicist, I can assure you that Dr Dave's "approximations" are based on allowances (defined by the physical laws of kinematics) which are driven by the variability of conditions. If you read through Dr Dave's many technical papers you too can enjoy the advanced mathematics/mechanics he uses to derive the very behaviors one sees when billiard balls collide/interact with various rotational states, etc. His solutions are exact HOWEVER in real life exact solutions ARE the approximations because "noise" is unaccounted for and when noise is accounted for, it can only ever be best approximation of noise sources. By noise in this context I mean uncontrolled variability of properties of the "system" such as cloth surfaces/types, cushion rebound, ball types/surfaces, cues, chalk, humidity, temperature not to mention this biggest one: players. Don't cringe good Sir, understand his intent and rejoice in the power of making mathematics of the complicated both practical and sharable with the general public. I assure you Dr Dave knows exactly what he's talking about. I've checked his derivations and he is spot on. His PhD was not given, it was earned and rightfully so.
