Thanks again Dave, you’re the GOAT of pool instruction!

[rashad]

"we talkin about "ain't nobody got time for that" 😂😂

[Jayfree]

I discovered you recently, and i'm grateful for all the instructions videos you posted before, it helped me a
So, for all of that, thank you so much, Dr Dave, world need more people like you, sharing they knowledge!

Cheers from France 🙌

[davidebiagi]

It is amazing how you explain the dynamics.
Thank you for sharing your skills.

[vcoolpool]

Thanks Doctor, and as always I learn from each video segment. Really like the funny inserts too. Thanks again,

[AlanS]

Hey Dr Dave! Big fan and very grateful for the time you put into all this!
Had a fun idea for a video I think alot of people might enjoy and could be fun for you to make, and I don't believe I've seen yet: Various common cue ball/object ball positions and how to pocket the object ball in all 6 pockets. For example, CB center headstring, OB on the spot, best way to pocket in all 6 pockets. Then change to other OB positions. Could be kind of cool.
Regardless of what ya do, please keep it up. Looking forward to whatever you put out in the future!

These memes shows both his humor and expertise of the game as he matches the memes well with the situation. 😂 the subtle humors in pool. Out fking standing sir.

[MrMountainJohn]

Do a video on a diamond 7 footer. Lots tougher!

[tomalderman]

Perfect timing. 9 ball tournament next weekend. Thanks !!

[jamesv.wilkerson]

I would have gotten in trouble on the break an then found a Dr. Dave video on how to get out of trouble. I'm a fellow scientist and I love how you make billiards easy to understand by using scientific principles.

[KTHKUHNKK]

WOW I SURE WON'T BE PLAYING YOU THE WAY YOU RUN THOSE RACKS.

[colincolenso]

Dave is smashing the billiard instruction sphere. Great work mate!

[johntanner]

Love your content! This video just illistrates how easy it is to get out on the barbox espically a valley where the pockets are humongous and you can cheat them if you get out of line. Still fun to run racks on them but I personally perfer the 9 foot tables all the way.

[seamusmcfadden]

Valley corners are HUGE! The side pockets have got me more than once though! Lol
I have a 9' Diamond at home.

[dustinbowers]

It's obvious I need to practice a lot more!! This looks so easy and smooth when you run the table and that bothers me 😂

[migueltrevino]

Great content like always, but I will like to see some bank shots and some kicks in those tables, and see how you adjust the aiming.
Thanks.

[MJ]

I love the video, thanks for sharing.

I didn't watch in to much detail but I noticed you mostly made the 8 ball, which cause me to notice pattern racking?

For the purpose of education, I could understand that, for more real life example (for example most people rack the 2 ball in that farthest position, opposite the 1 ball) I would suggest random. Might cause more problems and interesting run outs.

I'm any case, as always, great video.

[shortydancer]

Need to do these on a Diamond bar box now dr Dave.

[zanethind]

Did you already do a 10 ball bar box run out? If not you should
