  • In this series of videos we take An Average Pool Player (loz) onto the WNT (World Nineball Tour) to see how the average pool player gets on.
    Everyone thinks they can play pool (even Loz) 😁
    So we put that to the test.
    Your Average Pool Player agrees to compete against the pros on the World Tour how will he get on ?
    Apologies for crap audio (we are slowly getting there) this will no longer be an issue soon thanks for your patience

    We had pros in a tournament in our local pool hall last year Appleton,Gorst, Jayson Shaw , I saw one of our best local players around play shaw and he was winning 3-1 on him and Shaw comes back and wins 7-3 incredible how good pros are they hardly make any errors on position big difference from avg good players

    I occasionally play pros at regional peo-am 9-ball tournaments and win more than expected. My strategy is to play safeties whenever I can and if given a shot at a combo involving the object ball and the 9, I go for it. I know this goes against the notion that you only go after the 9 when the percentages are high. FYI, I have won two tournaments so far this year and that was before taking a break for the past 6 weeks. PS-- I am 83.

    An average player can beat a pro player, but the average player can’t play like an average player at the time or the pro can’t play like a pro. In other words, the average player has to shoot well above his skill level or the pro has to have a bad day. Also, obviously there is a huge difference in a 1 game match compared to a race to 5, 7, 9, or higher.

    Pool is the only sport/game when you can be a world champion and simply the best of the best ever and you can still lose to an average player if he's lucky and you're unlucky, no other sports are like that tennis , golf, formula 1 , soccer , an average tennis player would lose EVERY EVERY SINGLE TIME to djocovic 6-0 6-0 maybe maybe he can take 1 game NEVER EVER to win the match or even a set.
