As usual it was packed with smoke. But this time it was on a new level. My local bar is relatively small (only 4 tables) and everyone was smoking exept me (non smoker) and my opponent. After one or two rounds I was visibly confused but consious. I was feeling I had bad reflexes. I was seeing stuff move that didnt move. I was constanly… ## [Ball return or no ball return?](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w10521/ball_return_or_no_ball_return/) _2026-08-28 · /u/IllogicalAction_ Do you prefer a ball return table or no ball return? Also, why are the WNT using ball return tables on the outer tables for the US Open, but drop pockets on the TV tables? submitted by /u/IllogicalAction \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Score board apps](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w0v55j/score_board_apps/) _2026-08-28 · /u/RipCurlySilver_ Hey folks, I occasionally play some billiards with friends in the pub. Since I‘m a bit of a Techie I like Apps to track plays, stats etc. any tips from your side? Currently I use Billard Base and quite like it for its simplicity. However, I‘d love to hear about your recommendations submitted by /u/RipCurlySilver \[link\] \[comments\] ## [What do you think about the US Open Marketing?](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w0uadg/what_do_you_think_about_the_us_open_marketing/) _2026-08-28 · /u/unbelievre_ Getting on ESPN seems like a huge opportunity so I was expecting a lot of glossy marketing and to try to make the most of it. Then you see what they come out with and it feels pretty underwhelming to me. Note I shared the listing for US Open Tennis on the same day as the pool one and how one listing has a bright new indicator and exciting title then pool is just billiards action. I'm a pool nut… ## [Shooting jacked up over something](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w0tsp2/shooting_jacked_up_over_something/) _2026-08-28 · /u/unbelievre_ I noticed in the Dr Dave BU course there is a challenge you have to complete where you are shooting jacked up over another ball. And as we all know this is a very difficult shot. Maybe the most difficult. Even the best pros hate it and will avoid it at all costs. But if you can master it that gives you an obvious advantage in pool. My question is how much do you think you should work on it? I've… ## [I think there's a reason you never hear anything (or at least anything good) about Hennesee](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w0s9ty/i_think_theres_a_reason_you_never_hear_anything/) _2026-08-28 · /u/CreeDorofl_ submitted by /u/CreeDorofl \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Daily plans, scheduled by AI (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/jtMYRDZWedbs) _2026-08-28 · **Sponsored**_ AI-made daily plans that schedule tasks and protect focus time. ## [Drill That Everyone Should Do](https://www.reddit.com/r/billiards/comments/1w0rgvz/drill_that_everyone_should_do/) _2026-08-28 · /u/wlscwoj_ The more I really pay attention to most pool players locally (BCA, APA, TAP, UPL) the more I notice that almost every single amateur player adjusts when they get down. I don't mean a little, they adjust their stance, arm, elbow, aim and everything a lot after they get down on the shot. If you do this you are hurting your chances of shooting consistent. The drill I have all my students do. Throw 15…
