Glad to see you enjoying this size pool table. I just purchased a dining-pool table that is 6 feet long and was wondering if it would be a comfortable play. I wanted a 7 foot table, but I was concerned about it overwhelming the space especially when I put chairs around it.
Yeah, I'm comfortable playing on a 6ft table, I'm used to them because I was a pub player all through the 1990s. A 6 or 7ft table are fine to play on. 👍
6ft x 3ft tables are great fun , used to be in every pub in England once upon a time . Have to go with a slate bed though the wooden beds on tables just don’t cut it you’ll be disappointed quickly .
@@backyardbilliards101 up until 2 weeks ago I had another youtube channel with nearly 200 subscribers and 93 videos. I got hacked and lost everything. Ive had to start all over again with this channel 🤤
What's the size of the pool balls you're using? I bought a 6ft table too, but I got the 1 7/8 inches balls, that I'm not comfortable playing with, since I'm used to the 2 or 2 1/4 inches ones
Had to work for that one. Nice break out on that cluster. Nearly tripped over a stool lol!! Wait til you see what happened to me the other day while shooting. It's daffy😂 Great shooting bro 👍🎱👍
I've got a stool i stand on to press record on the camera because the camera is pretty high up. I keep walking into the damn thing, tripping over it and knocking dvd's off the shelf right next to it lol.
Wish I could buy that pool table but I’m only 12 and sadly don’t have an option for pocket money in our country it’s is around 1,200 something I did try to make my own but isn’t that good the balls are 38mm and I am unable to add spin because I don’t have chalk cue tip or chalk and the table cloth isn’t that good either there aren’t cushion either, but I am gonna try to convince my mom to buy me but I also think there is a high chance of her saying no because we live in another country and not the our national country. We live in uae but are from pk
as a new player the shot on 14 that breaks the problem cluster really blew my mind. i had to rewind to try to figure out why you shot so hard until it clicked. i appreciate this video. well done
A top spinner is one of the most useful shots in pool. Once you get a hang of hitting with top spin and back spin, you can really use your imagination and open up so many possibilities. Think of every shot as a two-part shot. Part one is sending the object ball on target. Part two is deciding which direction you’d like your cue ball to go after making contact with the object ball. I’ve spent literally hundreds of hours just experimenting with different contact points and speeds to see how much you can actually control where the cue ends up. And it’s infinite. There are so many combinations of speed and contact point and the result is that you can get the cue ball to go pretty much anywhere you want on the table. But don’t start off trying bottom left or top right and all of that. Become as consistent and accurate as you can with the three basic shots, and that’s all you need to run a table and be a good player. Obviously sending the object ball on target is the most important thing, but being able to hit a stop shot, top spin it, or suck it back while still maintaining accuracy will turn you from a guy who can pocket balls into a guy who can run a table. I’ve won many APA championships by just playing fundamentally sound. Making sure my aim is true, and maintaining basic cue ball control. No fancy English or masses. When I don’t have a clear path shot, I avoid shots that require fancy cue execution. I’d much rather seek out a bank shot or a combination shot in which all I need to do is figure out the angle and target line in my head. That way you’re still shooting a straight forward shot. Just instead of aiming at a pocket you are aiming at a spot on the rail or a spot on another ball. Combos and banks can be easily executed by using basic geometry and a standard, straight forward shot. When you look at it scientifically, there is almost always a ball that can be pocketed by utilizing the rails or multiple balls. Almost always a line where a straight forward cue ball will result in a good shot. You just need to use your imagination and find an aim point that science supports. Then physical execution becomes basic. It leads to more success than trying to pull off some high level masse shot or use extreme English to get some magical leave with the cue ball. Consistent aiming with the three basic shots and calculating angles to make banks and combos is really all you need to work on to be a great amateur. Run out as many high probability shots as you can, and once you find yourself with an uncomfortable shot, play a defensive shot and get ready for your next turn. It becomes a much easier game when you realize it’s very scientific. Use geometry to find your aim points. Use math to determine probability and how much risk you’re willing to take. It all simplifies down to choosing if you’re going to play offensively or defensively, choosing a ball, and choosing an aim point. If you make your choices scientifically, all you ever have to do physically is hit a basic shot.
@@DodgeMan74 oh nice you're already using 11mm tip. You may want to try a snooker cue. Used to have a 7ft table with snooker sized 15 pool balls. At first I don't like playing with it because the provided cues are 13mm. Bought a decent 9.5mm snooker cue and I started enjoying my game.
@@kikimomikuto6689 a few people have thought my table is slate. Its the Aramith pool balls, they run and spin much better than the balls that came with the table.
@@DodgeMan74 - 8 foot is probably the perfect size. Unfortunately I don't have the room. Most APA is going to 7 foot for their Vegas playoffs. But locally in many cities, you still have many 9 footers. If you have an 8 foot, you will rule on a 7 footer, but still can be competitive on a 9 footer. At least it works that way for me.
I've read all the comments so im not going to ask you what table it is or what and what size of pool balls you're using however, how much did you get the table for? Im in the UK and have found the UK import site but its out of stock and doesn't have a price. Appreciate your reply 🫡
Some lovely positional play as usual dude. And a great shot to break up the problem cluster.
Wow such a nice collection of billiard balls
You handled that like a straight pool player
I used to play straight pool back in the 90s, I don't see many people play it these days.

I bought a different 6 ft it’s very uneven how is that type
Could you tell me which model of your pool table, and if you recommend it? Thanks!
6ft x 3ft tables are great fun , used to be in every pub in England once upon a time . Have to go with a slate bed though the wooden beds on tables just don’t cut it you’ll be disappointed quickly .
That looks like the perfect size
It's normally the dog i trip over lol. Well played buddy
Lol
I'm now a subscriber. good job 👌
Thanks buddy, much appreciated . I subscribed to your channel a while back 👍
Yeah but sorry but I did not know you had content until today. But I'll look forward to seeing more of your videos.

I'm using 2 inch Aramith pool balls. Perfect size for a 6ft table 👍
De quelle taille est la table? Elle est top 😊
Was fortunate on the third shot, tried to break up the cluster, failed and luckily solid ball held the cue ball. Otherwise well played..
👍
What is the make and model of the table please, it appears to be very good
Its a walker and Simpson sovereign table 👍
Well done Playa
Thanks my friend 👍
What depth is the MDF
It’s like blackball with bigger balls and bigger pockets
What is the size of the room where the pool table is ? Is ok play space for a 12ft x 12ft room? 🙋🏻♂️
My room is about that size, its not bad but I do have to use a smaller cue for a couple of the corners.
Is 6 ft table good enough? Or do i need to go for 7ft? Generally im searching for foldable ones and those usually come in 6 ft
Go for a 7ft table if you have the space for it 👍 i can only fit a 6ft in my room.
Hi! When you say the table is 6ft x 3ft you mean the total measurement or just the cloth/field?
The playing surface 👍
@@DodgeMan74 ok, thanks!

What model and brand of that pool set and where can i buy? Thanks!
Its a walker and Simpson table with aramith pool balls. I got the table from UK sport imports 👍

2 inch 👍

Ball size?
2 inch
not sure it's 6ft..but maybe the camera angle is making it look bigger
Its definitely 6ft my friend 👍

Its nice tbh

The table cost me about 180 pounds a few years ago but I noticed its gone up in price these days. Ive seen it between 250 and 300 quid .
