Clean balls = more skid on the cloth While the dirty balls = more traction on the cloth

I'm confused, I would think you would get better results using "clean" balls, but your video shows the opposite in most situations. Why bother cleaning the balls then?

I would like see the steps you took to make your ball cleaner.

Thank you for the content. Question: Where did you purchase/find the blue decals that have been added to the table between the diamonds?

Good job and very well put together. You got a sub out of me.

Adam, so bottom line is . Can you get to that 8 ball with more power and speed to compensate? Often time i see that the 30 and 90 degree rule get mention , but it seem that the stun shot really doesn’t matter the angle, it will go 90 regardless. Then i use more power to draw further if my pocket angle is more full, and less power on a thinner one, Am i getting this correctly? I still see that it goes 90 degree or draw bigger angle but on fuller hit it really doesn’t travel as much. Sometimes i would cheat the pocket fuller to get position on balls that not too far away neither, but i do enjoy seeing people like you that can play with such soft speed and elegant

Very impressive. I like your clean balls better.

Impressive and eye-opening video. Really loved the shot with the slow motion and the laser. Very clear visually what was happening. Thanks for putting this together.

This was REALLY helpful. My buddy and I play on his outdoor table and we have noticed that over time, our shooting angles seem to cut a little tighter. We kept thinking it was the table/rails, but over MORE time, we were overly adjusting because of dirty balls + possible dust catching on the table during play. All of the examples you've shown here have highlighted my shooting errors I was having shooting on that table again, now we know we should probably clean the balls more often.

Now compare between the used and new cloth please..

Learned a lot here. Including that Americans call screw 'draw'. Did not know you could buy heavier balls either. Great vids on your channel.

Hey there! Your videos are good. You should at least put out one per month.

Dirty balls affect your play tremendously. Most of the manufacturers polish is made up of a lot of wax. Use a no wax plastic polish. Also, wipe your table cloth down with a wrung out terry cloth towel after play. This removes most of the chalk dust from your table cloth

Great video, very analytical. Hope you have more videos like this.

your pockets are so big i could cry

I would argue that your “clean” balls are actually too slick/slippery due to your cleaning method. If you’re using straight Aramith cleaning solution, it leaves a slight layer of wax-type substance on the balls that makes them slicker than they are when brand new. The sliding off kicks, ease of pocketing rail shots, and trouble getting good action from CB spin off rails this brings changes the game, and not in a good way imo. I prefer playing with balls that are CLEAN, but not slicked-up more than their new condition. So I use a mix of Aramith:Rubbing alcohol at 1:4 ratio in my ball cleaning machine. That leaves them with a very similar play as their condition when new. Artistic Billiards artists sometimes apply wax or silicone to balls to pull off amazing massé and other crazy spin shots. What your “clean” balls are doing is a mild version of that.

i shoot on 4 1/4 so lololol you cheat on that.. tell people it is with 5 ins pocket

Clever device. Good video!

Great Job Explained PERFECTLY !! No one ever explained pocket cheat this well.

Really cool test! The information taken away from this scientific experiment helps tremendously, thank you sir!

Great video but you neglected to add so many negative side effects of dirty balls to this video. How about cling and reduced ability to draw a ball back. These are the two biggest problems

Nice job on the video, Adam!

Impressive. Never thought the differences could be that huge. Thanks!

I researched looking for this subject but on how to deal with it. I play at a dirty ass bar on Tuesdays and a pool hall that cleans their balls daily. My home table is newer Predator cloth and plays pretty fast. In general I'm quite satisfied with how I play at the pool hall but am practically going to be kicked off my team at the dirty ass bar. Besides the tables (diamond vs bar box) I really think that since I tend to play pocket speed and with touch the ball cling must be affecting me but I've not figured out how to deal with it. My team captain who is Vegas attending level says to play firmer but when I do I not only miss but then my position is total BS. I think I'll try to overcut for a while. See if that helps. Any advice would be fantastic.

Do you use the same type of balls? I can see that the two white balls are different of colour, in snooker sets these differences are there along with different weights

What size that table ?

Gives how to video of your ball cleaner.

That was very satisfying :)

stumble to this, deserved way way more view bro

Valley had a metal flake cue balls very heavy the extra weight made using it to plow thru any clusterI won a 96 man tournament by knowing of it mass and power.

Wow I never knew that the reason balls go wider is that the extra friction kills the top spin with dirty balls, but with clean balls it is like catching a half ball contact with top spin - you get throw... th-cam.com/video/iHig6t_JymY/w-d-xo.html

Love this! So interesting how the time from cb impact to ob going in slowed down the more contacts, you had, but then sped up again when the distance between the balls became very small.

This was more interesting even than the last one that I watched.

This was cool.

A-10 Warthog..... BRRRAT

sounds like a cat singing to mate

Great video! Next one should be about new vs worn out cloth. I was recently playing that three cushion shot in a bar with dirty balls and the trajectory was the same as with the clean balls in your video. My guess is that the worn out cloth masks it slip and the ball had no traction on it.

I've always been curious of what 34 ball combos sound like lol

I think if we go to a regular pool hall, although they clean their pool balls. The dust on the table and also our hands will eventually make it dirty within a few racks. Unless we're playing in a tournament that the judge will use a glove to clean the ball and vacuum the table after each use.

Which shot was the hardest?

Wow.. this should be taught in physics classes or something like that. I'm bad at physics, but i'm 100% sure that with a cool professor who knows his stuffs about frequency or something like that, can come up with a wonderful talk on this subject...

bishop (chess) + billards?

Nice video! How do you draw the CB path in the video?

Bro such good content, subscribed

No I kept it straight to keep it simple. It took me 595 sticker placements over 3 days to do this!

Did you try to bend it around? It should work.

Nice

Can I ask are you using a cleaning fluid? I clean my set with washing up liquid and rise off I find the balls although clean still retain friction. I believe that it is the residue that ball cleanings leave that adds to the problem. I would used the ball cleaner to restore shine but would still hand wash any cleaning solutions after. Thoughts pls.

The results from the dirty balls seem favorable but apparently you have to factor the new response once you clean you “pool “ balls.😏 Definitely agree with previous posts, your delivery and comparisons are excellent and the laser line reference was a nice added touch. Keep up the good work.
