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

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

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

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

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.

Egypt?

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

Omg I want to watch more. This is so cool

I love pool

Damn

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.

“Slow motion shows how” lol

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

i didnt know 100% drifting existed in past

Terrible techniques. But the slow motion looked good.

Interesting table design. Any idea what they are?

what year was this?

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

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

White had such a lavish lifestyle

They have a magnet under the table

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

The last shot triggered me
