Video Below
Hi!
This video may not be for everyone—but I found it mesmerizing to watch.

Back in the day I used to play a little Pool (also known as Billiards)—enough to realize like any game it takes a LOT of practice and skill to become a great player.
Part of the art comes from not just making a shot but leaving the cue ball in position for your next shot.

An accomplished player can do this very well—and is thinking not only about the next shot but many more in advance—and puts spin (or English) on the cue ball to move it into position.
This requires a great deal of practice and skill.

If you're like me you've never heard of Ronnie O'Sullivan—but the video below shows him clearing an entire table in a game of Snooker—which is similar to pool.

He makes shot after shot, perfectly placing the cue ball for the next.
As I said above—I found it mesmerizing to watch.
Thanks as always for stopping by!
