Billiards

[linebaugh]

I used to be against it but now Im for it

 

[linebaugh]

I like that this guy is the michael jordan of pool

 

[linebaugh]

Oh I meant the literal rules. Being good at pool is for PUA freaks. I lost both games as one should.

 

[craner]

Oh ffs

 

[linebaugh]

Oh ffs

Whats wrong?

Billiards is a separate game to pool. Craner is a fairly high level billiards player after having been introduced to the game by his father. It's very rare you see a billiards table now and craner hates seeing the two games conflated as the simpler, easier pool has eclipsed billiards almost entirely.

Efren Reyes is a pool player. Oliver Craner is a billiards player,

 

[linebaugh]

Oh very interesting

Ive been playing a couple times a week. Whats the key to improving @craner ?

 

[linebaugh]

I thought billiards was the umbrella term for all similar games

To quote from an email he sent me 'Get your chin down to the level of your cue and sight along it. Get your hand position correct. Master spin.'

Also 'always think about your next shot and how to position for it. Minimise opportunities for your opponent'

 

[linebaugh]

I do all that i just have trouble striking the ball in the way I want to
