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.

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. 👍

My room is about that size, its not bad but I do have to use a smaller cue for a couple of the corners.

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

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 - 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.
