[Sportsandrec] Playing Billiards/Pool

[Robert Moore]

 As for competition   with  sities  It could get interesting  only because I
would think that some people might tend  to become  unreasonably worked up
if you so much as bump a ball with your hand and move it even a fraction of
an inch. But I have never  played competition

 I have very little experience as a blind person  playing pool but I can
share my own story. 
 I don't know how  practicle this would be for any real compedetive games
but I used a spotter and they would describe some of my options  and  then I
would take hold of the stick and they would lower my lead hand onto the
table where it needs to be just behind the q ball. Then they would line up
the trailing end of the stick for me to make the shot  then I would just
take the shot. It cam be  very tricky when there is little to  no room
behind the q ball to put your hand on the table.  At least for playing for
fun  it  is well worth the effort to work with a spotter and learn to shoot.
Hopefully someone else has better  info than this   because    thow it was
fun to play the way I  described, I think it would be grate to have a more
refined method of adapting to the game. 
Good  luck. 
 Robert

Hi All!

Hope this message finds you well & you're enjoying the 2017 adventures thus
far!  I was wondering if anyone on this list has experience with learning
how to play Billiards or as it is commonly known as a game of pool?  Are
there specific techniques you had to learn to play well with the game?  I
don't know much about the game, but was interested in learning more.

Thanks,

Justin Young
