Have you ever played pool? I throw this question often and 99'9% of times the answer I get is yes. It is very difficult to find a person who has never played a game or who does not know what you mean when you talk about smooth and scratched. Billiards, fortunately, is a universal game that allows us to socialize and have a good time, that's why it is so popular. But what really hooks us up? Here are the six aspects that make us the most crazy about this beautiful sport.

Everyone who starts in this pool has a lack of mischief and fears. For inexperience, at first we always pay for hazing. It is only a matter of curing and curing so that this phase lasts as little as possible.

Sometimes it seems that a supernatural force moves the balls at will. Sometimes to favor you and others to harm you. It's about dynamics. When you are on a positive streak, the rebounds favor you, you enter serve ball with hardly any effort and you always stay in the good shooting angle: everything goes well; But when you enter into the negative, you cover yourself, you strength or you leave the ball poked: everything seems to go wrong.

Professional billiard players would not be the same without their nicknames. The motes identify the character of the billiard player. Where do these "bad names" come from?

In the history of billiards there have been billiard players who have not only bothered to play but also to solve problems that all players suffer. Consequently, they have created great billiard inventions that help us to train or compete better.

A legend says that it was Strickland who invented jump shots in one of his best days. Out of jokes, no one knows for sure who or when the art of tipping the cue 45 degrees to make the white ball jump was discovered . But the fact is that this shooting technique has been perfected a lot in recent decades, has served to win world championships and has caused the industry to manufacture all kinds of specific cues.

By the creators of “50 cheap billiards excuses” and “20 thoughts that make us fail”, today is the turn to review the 30 greatest snares of the billiards. In other words, what annoys us the most, what rabies gives us and what we most hate billiard players. Whether in the heat of the championship or during training, there are a number of situations that get us out of our squares. Admit it, you have also lit yourself sometime for the moments that come next.

The majority of balls that we failed we did not err by a poor execution of the shot, but by a psychological question. By an attitude, a thought or reasoning prior to shooting. During a game, the billiard players have something that all athletes do not have: time. Time to think when your rival shoots, time to decide what to do between shooting and shooting.

1,000, 2,000, 3,000 ... How much would you be willing to pay for a billiard cue? The most expensive in the world reaches $ 150,000. Almost nothing. I have been browsing some of these relics on the Internet to see how high prices soar and why they are so expensive.

I am fascinated to see how well some kids play billiard. No more than 8 years old, but they run shots as if they were 25.

If last week we looked at the best jump pool cues, today is the turn of the break cues. Breaking is vital to keep the initiative of the game and not give option to the rival.

They are essential to save defenses, to regain the initiative and often decisive when winning or losing a game. Today a pool player has to master the jump as he dominates the rest of beatings. Using a good jump cue will make it easier.

What would you do right after entering the last 9 ball that will give you the title of World Pool Masters? How would you react to learn that you have just proclaimed Snooker world champion at the Crucible or just achieved Maximum Break? You would probably also go on the table you like crazy or make a good cry in the theater of Sheffield. The celebrations are one of the most emotional and special moments of any sport, also in pool. So in today's article we highlight seven euphoric moments of the best billiard players in the world.

Some more than others, but generally billiard players are maniacs and superstitious. While we are playing, we deploy a series of tics that make us feel safer on the table. They are small routines, simple repeats, like a tennis player when it has the serve or a golfer when preparing a swing.

They are so small that sometimes we do not pay attention to them. We spend months without changing or worrying about them, but they are essential. The modern pool is not understood without the tip, a billiard component with two centuries of history.

Months ago we talked about what billiard balls are made of, and today it’s the turn for the billiard cues, the extension of our arms. We are used to seeing them clean and shiny, but behind those perfect designs, manufacturing processes and a variety of materials, especially wood, essential for good a play, are hiding. It's time to discover them.

Putting names or logos of animals for trademarks is not an exclusive phenomenon of billiards far. Just see most NBA teams (Dallas Mavericks, Chicaco Bulls, Minnesota Timberwolves ...), technology companies (Firefox, Mailchimp, Twitter), a footwear brands like Puma or energy drinks like Red Bull. The pool is fed, in part, of this particular American and Anglo-Saxon tradition of identifying a business with an animal by its characteristics or their skills.

In summer pool competitions decrease their intensity, so between swimming pool dips, it’s a good time to refresh knowledge with previous billiards literature. Practice is essential, but without a theoretical basis any billiardist is limited. So in today's article we highlight some of the best books on billiards (four in Spanish and four in English).

Billiard is a much more complex sport than people think. Knowing the basics to master is as vital as in any other sport, something that many underestimate. Daily practice will make us improve substantially, so having our own billiard table can help us train.

Predator nobody beats Predator when it's time to revolutionize marketing and billiard industry with a new product. And they have again demonstrated with their new creature: the black shaft Revo made with carbon fiber introduced a few months ago. Is it as innovative as they say?

One more time, we are highlight some of the best billiard players in the world. First we talked about the top of Pool players, then about the Snooker players, and this time it is the turn of those who play on tables without pockets and dominate the bands better than anyone else: the Carom billiard players. Here are my 7 favorite champions still active.

We continue with the series of articles on the best professional billiard players in the world. Last week we talked about Pool and now it’s the turn for Snooker. It is not easy to highlight only seven names among the many magicians of Snooker, but here are my favorite players that are still active.

They are our idols, we dream of facing them one day and achieve some of their greatest achievements. While that dream is not met we can only watch them them play on video or live, trying to learn from their fantastic talent on the table. Everyone has their favorite billiard players, so today I share with you mine: there goes my top 7 pool players, all of them still active.

No one doubts that the three predominant forms of American Pool are 8-ball, 9 ball and, increasingly, ball 10. But there is life beyond these popular games. There are at least 5 other disciplines of American pool that often go more unnoticed. However, because of their strategic character and the skill they require, they deserve to be as famous as those of a lifetime. So today the protagonists are them.

When the game starts some rest on the rails of the table and others in the hands or pockets of the player. But they all play a vital role in pool: ensure a perfect grip between the cue (the tip) and the hitting ball (the white ball). Although they stain and leave a mark, they are much loved because without them powerful shots sidespins could not exist.

When we fail a ball or lose a game, the easiest thing is to blame anything but yourself. Instead of being honest and admit that the one who erred was us, often the billiard players throw more or less realistic alibi: that if the table, the cloth, the cue, the rival...

We the billiard players like to do as much or more than watching games, discover stories and crucial characters in the world of pool. So we are always looking for videos that satisfy our curiosity and our billiardist needs.

Always willing to hold our shots, dancing on the table, bouncing in the cushions and ending in the pockets. So this is how the life of a billiard ball goes, whose fate is always in our hands… and in our cues. These so perfect and resistant spheres that never tire rolling are the protagonists of today’s article, because every billiard player should know what the billiard balls are made of.

You won’t be a total billiard player until you have not watched over and over again these 10 stratospheric shots.

Last week we opened the series on mythical moments of pool with 10 historical Pool games. Today is the turn of Snooker. You won’t be a total billiardist until you have not watched over and over these maximum breaks and other memorable frames.

Agonizing finals, impossible shots and egregious anger. It is difficult to summarize the entire history of pool in a few videos, but these 10 games will always have a place in the historical memory of American pool. You will not be a total billiard fan until you have watched once and again these 10 mythical moments.

If every football player dreams of ever stepping the grass at Camp Nou or the Bernabeu, every billiard player dreams of rolling the balls on the tables in the Star Billiards Center or in the Amsterdam Billiards Club. Today, we gather 10 of the best pool halls in the world, the temples that all billiard player should visit at least once in their lifetime.

Next to the cue and the chalk, the smartphone can become the best ally of a billiard player. Especially in his workout routine. The vast majority of mobile applications on pool available in Google Play or App Store are games, but there are also apps designed to perfect the technique and improve the game. Here you go with five good examples.

It is the billiard’s field, what will mark the tempo. If it is artificial, the ball won’t roll smoothly and won’t rebound naturally; if it is overly watered, it will run too fast; if it has been cut very high and it dry, it will slow down. As in a football field, one of the fundamental parts of a pool table is its cloth. So today we analyze the necessary measures that cloths must have for every modality and each table dimension, in addition to other keys on this material that will serve you if you are about to upholster your table.

Billiard has no frontiers. It is played anywhere, in very different ways. Every culture has adapted this universal game to their liking. Americans brought solids and stripes, French brought caroms, English brought Blackball or Snooker, Spanish brought chapolin or Russians the tangle of white balls.
