His videos are brilliant. I'm not a regular player, nor any good, but when I started I got from absolutely nothing to decent thanks to those videos. Hey Rollie, Great video Rollie - Rollie keep'em coming Rollie 👌😊
I would like to thank Dr. Dave for everything he's done in the billiards world, I enjoy his videos and his studies on ball collisions. His engineer aproach is very apreciated
Ok I'm not even 10 minutes into the video and this is already amazing pool content. Entertaining and educational... Wish I could give more than one like.
7:57 "Don't play for position if you already have it. Take what's offered." I know he probably said it in a light way, and perhaps even jokingly, but this is solid advice that many aspiring "good" players need. Most people who learn how to play for position get into the habit of ALWAYS playing for position, often forgetting what the natural path of the cue ball may sometimes offer. Excellent advice. Edit: i accidentally a word
One of the funniest videos I've watched in a while. Love Dr. Dave, he's a champion of the sport, and a wholesome-ass dude! "Now you're getting a little weird Rollie."
I took quite a few years of lessons and learned a lot. However many of my lesson days were going over things I'd already had learned on my own through online material and practice. Don't underestimate the knowledge that's already at you fingertips online and from the excellent free content you can find on youtube such as this. I find really the only problem I have is information overload. I need to get better at structuring my practice sessions to include the massive amount of information I'm taking in when I'm away from the pool table in video tutorials or just from watching pro pool.
All the "Rollie" jokes aside, there is no doubting that Dr. Dave is an absolute master teacher of pool! EVERYONE who watched this video has absolutely learned SOMETHING! It was also such a great treat to find out that he had Robert Byrne's table. Mr. Byrne was an amazing teacher as well and his table is definitely in good hands with Dr. Dave! His book "Standard Book of Pool & Billiards" is basically a bible for billiard shots!! He also has many videos on exercises and shot making. Great video. Thanks for sharing...and congratulations on your recent graduation!!! :~)
yo Rollie, your links are combined with the ending brackets ) and it's gonna be a bit of an issue for mobile users and some other less technical users to click on them properly. Just a heads up :)
@@RollieWilliams Just put spaces between the parenthesis and the URL. Example: ( czcams.com/users/DrDaveBilliards ) / ( www.dashlane.com/rollie ) - Btw, love your videos! I wish you posted more often! Keep it up brotha!
Thanks to you too, ROLLIE! You did a great job keeping it fun during the filming, and you also did a great job with the editing. I look forward to filming something with you again in the future. You got mad video productions skills, bro. Peace and love, ROLLIE!
Dave Alciatore is the man, great material right here! And I dig his book The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards, as well as his Billiards Digest articles on throw and squirt, particularly. It was very insightful technical material. Dave has made the articles easy to find online. Also, he uses properly-scaled, accurate diagramming of shots in all his material, which I appreciate. Precise, accurately-drawn diagrams are very important for pool instructional material, yet most of the billiards instructional books I've read fail to get them right.
Love the cheesy dry humor. Love that he has Byrne’s table!!!! Wish ya’ll could see the room I built in my study. Started playing again after a 10y break. Love the game!!!!
Dr Dave has been my main source of knowledge recently as I have been trying to get better at pool and this video with you two was such a treat to watch. I've already seen everything he said here from his own videos cause I think I might have watched them all but the back and forth between you two was great. I actually think I might not have stuck with playing and learning pool so much if it wasn't for his videos and his passion and enjoyment that he brings to the sport.
Don't want to brag with my BU Scores but just want to tell you how much I've learnt of all the shots I've made while making the test: 46, 54, 62, 67, 73, 64, 75, 66. According to exam, strong Master to weak Doctorate. Will keep up this in my weekly routine!
Thanks for putting your time and effort to make videos like this. 51 mins isn't long at all I would watch this if its longer than endgame. Learn so much. Thank you. Anyone serious about pool should watch this.
Why would anyone give a thumb down? :O Dave is such an amazing inspiration, the way he puts science into pool is just out of this world. The “good draw shot” reaction when he says “look at thaaaat” says it all about him. Love this video, watched from A to Z with a lot of rewinds.
As a mathematician, i cringe in every engineering aproximations... But i love too much this guy. The way he studied and mastered the art of pool is remarkable. So grateful for this guy
As a physicist, I can assure you that Dr Dave's "approximations" are based on allowances (defined by the physical laws of kinematics) which are driven by the variability of conditions. If you read through Dr Dave's many technical papers you too can enjoy the advanced mathematics/mechanics he uses to derive the very behaviors one sees when billiard balls collide/interact with various rotational states, etc. His solutions are exact HOWEVER in real life exact solutions ARE the approximations because "noise" is unaccounted for and when noise is accounted for, it can only ever be best approximation of noise sources. By noise in this context I mean uncontrolled variability of properties of the "system" such as cloth surfaces/types, cushion rebound, ball types/surfaces, cues, chalk, humidity, temperature not to mention this biggest one: players. Don't cringe good Sir, understand his intent and rejoice in the power of making mathematics of the complicated both practical and sharable with the general public. I assure you Dr Dave knows exactly what he's talking about. I've checked his derivations and he is spot on. His PhD was not given, it was earned and rightfully so. Hope this is helpful to all readers!
Dr. Dave is a blessing for people who can relate and appreciate how he explains the game. Colorado has so many talents of the game. Love your videos brother!
I spent most of my day in the lab doing spectroscopy that involves mapping 3 dimensional images of mineral crystals. That was easy on the brain compared to 3 times the the Peace sign...which is actually the harmonic equivalent of ‘Kumbaya’. Kidding aside. These are the most well explained lessons on the web. I actually use the ‘nitty gritty stuff’ I learn. Witty banter a bonus.
The timing of this video was perfect for me! I just finished reading Dr. Dave's Principles of Pool and Billiards this week. Lots of valuable information. Definitely going to take that billiards exam
I watched a lot of Dr. Dave vids, but didn't have enough interest to learn from them. I am watching the peace sign part a second time to learn it. Thanks!
I've watched a few of Dr Dave's videos and quite a few others. Ushally it's above my skill set. But this video really helped me to understand exactly what he meant/means in his and others videos. Wow just knowing these tips will drastically improve my game. Now just to remember everything.......... Thank you to the both of you.
You can tell Rollie´s channel is getting to the next level when you see the very Dr Dave is in it. I knew Dr. Dave before, and its fun to hear about the peace sign again. I remember sharing it with my pool pals. Great vid there!. Looking forward for more
I've thought dr Dave is the best source of pool instruction for years... no hocus pocus or "well it's always worked for me" nonsense. It does not surprise me but I did not know he was an actual Dr, haha. This was a great video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Keep up the good job Rollie (!) :) 420
Super glad that you spent some time with Dr. Dave. His videos have been very helpful to me. Are you planning to try his exams, posting your scores? I don't think it's necessary for you to post the entire video of your test. But I think that it would be very helpful for all of us rank amateurs to see how we rate against you as you head to the tournament. Then, we can see a bit better how we might fare, playing through you.
I had to subscribe after hearing all your hilarious comments lmao. The "Gaussian distribution" and "Ugh! Garbage!" comments made me laugh out loud hahaha
Can you please collab with the guy making the Rollie video cut to edit in a rolling-lip hic-up-burp for every time Dr. Dave says "Rollie". The Internet needs this.
I'm so satisfied for this video, thank you! I've already watch every single pool tutorial video on youtube that this was like giving a free buffet for homeless!!!
Now imagine Rollie did really great at the US Open, got extremely lucky and somehow won it! His channel would definitely explode and I would be the happiest guy! Mate I am so rooting for you, can't wait to watch you play in the U.O., whatever happens! Good luck
Maybe another episode is a lesson from Philippines Pro Player like Carlo Biado, Jeffrey Ignacio? Just to understand their perspective about pool. Anyway love your content man! Keep em comin'!
For anyone keeping score... I counted 74 "Rollies" for an average rate of 1.45 RPM (rollies per minute).
Only 74? I expected it to be several hundreds :D
rpm's lmao good one
Ah ha man...
@@BlackStarEOP that is 51/1.45*74 that should be several hundred rollies 😂😂😂
2602 rollies lol
New drinking game, take a drink for every Rollie.
Who would have ever guessed Dr Dave could almost out-personality Rollie 😂
90s Youth Pastors be like
I was waiting for him to crack a dad joke any moment
I didn’t guess that ... and I was not proven wrong
Dr Dave seems like such a sincere and chill dude. Great video
He completely is.
He really is. He is a friend of mine and plays in my local league. Our team beat them team last year for the top league championship.
His videos are brilliant. I'm not a regular player, nor any good, but when I started I got from absolutely nothing to decent thanks to those videos. Hey Rollie, Great video Rollie - Rollie keep'em coming Rollie 👌😊
@Maiahi I've had several replies from Dave in his CZcams comments. If you have something interesting to say I'm sure he will chat with you there!
peace and love brother
Man you're going big time with all these collabs. That's Dr. DAVE for cryin out loud!
Wym he played with pros lol he went big time when he did trick shots with venom lol
@@neonicplays Exactly. That's what I'm sayin brah

What's the most important rule in pool Rollie ?
"Friendship"
LooooooL
Ok I'm not even 10 minutes into the video and this is already amazing pool content. Entertaining and educational... Wish I could give more than one like.
If you can't breakdance, you can't give it more than one like. It's the rules.
Dr. Dave is the perfect example of "Those who can, teach".
Except the saying is "those who can do and those who cant teach"
7:57 "Don't play for position if you already have it. Take what's offered."
I know he probably said it in a light way, and perhaps even jokingly, but this is solid advice that many aspiring "good" players need.

"Now you're getting a little weird Rollie."
My parents: where do u want to finish your degree?
Me: billiards university
Do we need math or geometry for that?
@@lanmat5765 probably yes
Slate, Ten-ball, English, Miscue = STEM
19:51 "There's a big spectrum Rollie, and I'm not sure exactly where you are on the spectrum" lmao
I’d pay an arm and a leg to have a private lesson from Dr. Dave.
Peace and love brother!
Dr Dave actually does coaching and his prices are on his website
If it’s your own arm the lesson wouldn’t be much worth it I’m afraid... :p
Bro just sell your kidney his pricing is 150/hr you can have plenty of lessons for just selling your kidney!

It's nice to see Dr. Dave more loose and outgoing when instructing. Thank you for this haha
Yes, clear, concise, informative, and very personable. He's just a really teacher.
"Human beings were created to play pool." - Rollie, 2019.
I laughed when he said that for way too long lmao
Peace and love brotha !
Rollie and Dave are awesome! We need a second instructional lesson.
43:40 when Dave says "ok" I couldnt contain my laughter lmao
Wow, mad respects for this guy. You can definitely see how dedicated and passionate he is from this video. Thanks for this great episode Rollie.
Dr. Dave you are the best. You actually managed to teach Rollie a lot, and that's not an easy task.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Gary.
Dave is such a great instructor, learned so much from this video.
You two bounce off each other so well!

so cool. the funniest billiards guy and the best pool teacher in one video....nice
In This Show: Rollie making old pool heads slightly uncomfortable by being a dank meme
Seriously, Rollie. & Dr Dave in one video! This is too much, probably deserves an oscar.
Well Rollie...First thing were going to do Rollie...You're doing great Rollie...Peace and Love Rollie

Awesome video! That hour went by so fast.... Dr Dave is hilarious
Love the channel! Thanks Rollie!

can't wait to see you playing with the GOAT efren reyes!
