The game of pool, or pocket billiards, was developed, like other cue sports, from outdoor stick-and-ball lawn games similar to golf or croquet. Pool was originally played on tables without pockets. Holes were added later, used first as a hazard and later as a means of scoring. The term 'pool' was derived from 'poolrooms,' which were off-track betting facilities, where gamblers would 'pool' their money to determine odds on horse races. These facilities were often equipped with a few billiards tables, and words 'pool' and 'billiards' soon became interchangeable. In this series of free video lessons, you’ll learn the basics of the game of pool, including the proper shooting form, how to hit the cue ball and how to use English to alter a shot. Expert Richard Buccola offers tips and techniques to help you develop a litany of shots that will make your next visit to a pool hall a fun and hopefully triumphant experience.
