Some of The Very First Billiards Lessons | Vintage Pool & Billiards

The last shot triggered me

That last shot though lol. Looks like it was water going down a drain or toilet

They have a magnet under the table

White had such a lavish lifestyle

Back when the game had class and respect. Now just a place for smoky bars and booze.

Interesting that the standard break shot in pool used to be the same as that in snooker.

what year was this?

Interesting table design. Any idea what they are?

Terrible techniques. But the slow motion looked good.

i didnt know 100% drifting existed in past

I'd like to get my hands on one of those two piece cues...

“Slow motion shows how” lol

I never saw irvings trick shot before with the balls in the center of the table.Very nice. Petersons grip is questionable on the balance point. But he was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge non the less. You can see they did not use simonis because the action of the balls

Hall of famers who could shoot your lights out. At that time on that equipment these guys were dangerous. They played great. What a treat to see. Thanks.

Damn

I love pool

Omg I want to watch more. This is so cool

This is sick

Holding the que in the middle is to top heavy, you wanna hold it at the butt of the que… these silly old timers think they know what they where talking about, holding it in the middle you’re more likely to shoot off target… holding it at the butt you’re more precise

Egypt?

Nos lleva al pasado. Lástima que el billar haya decaído tanto en los EEUU. Tengo una catálogo de billares Brunswick en donde se ven salas con 50 e incluso 100 mesas en muchas ciudades de USA.

I do know one thing for sure, melanated/black people invented billiards rather in egypt or not , like they invented everything else . Its this way because they were on earth millions of years before white folk were invented a mere 25,000 years ago at best according to science

Is this the sound of ivory billiard balls or would these already be plastic?

Someone once did that for an hour and made 20,000 points!
