BILLIARD KNOWLEDGE

Author:

This may contain: an old poster with instructions on how to play billiards and pool cuees

The image appears to be an incomplete or corrupted guide about pool/billiards, possibly focusing on pool table anatomy and cue sticks. Here’s a breakdown of the visible content and what it likely intended to convey:


Image Content Analysis:

  1. Title:

    • “BILLIARD KNOWLEDGE” – Indicates this is educational material about pool/billiards.

  2. Subheader:

    • “ANATOMY OF A POOL TABLE” – Suggests a section explaining pool table components (e.g., rails, pockets, slate, felt).

  3. Mysterious Phrase:

    • “FURNITURE TABLE” – Possibly a misplaced label (pool tables are often categorized as “furniture”).

    • “THESE’S ROSE TO AMING” – Likely a typo/gibberish. Could be a corrupted version of:

      • “There’s more to aiming” (referring to cue alignment).

      • “These are the main” (beginning of a list).

  4. Cue Stick Mention:

    • “THE CUE STICK” – Probably the start of a section on cue anatomy (tip, shaft, ferrule, butt).


What’s Missing?

  • Visual diagram of a pool table (likely cropped or not included in this snippet).

  • Descriptions of table parts (e.g., rails, pockets, felt material).

  • Clear explanations about cue stick components or aiming techniques.


Possible Intent:

This was likely meant to be an illustrated guide to:

  1. Pool Table Structure: Slate bed, cushions, pocket types (drop vs. ball-return).

  2. Cue Stick Breakdown: Tip hardness, shaft taper, joint types.

  3. Aiming Fundamentals: Ghost ball method, spin techniques.


Suggestions for Clarity:

  • If this is part of a larger document, check for missing pages/images.

  • Correct the garbled text (e.g., “THESE’S ROSE TO AMING” → “There’s more to aiming”).

  • Add labels or callouts if a diagram is present.

For a proper pool table anatomy guide, here’s what’s typically included:

Pool Table Components:

  • Playing Surface: Slate (3-piece) covered with felt (usually wool-nylon blend).

  • Cushions/Rails: Rubber edges that balls bounce off of.

  • Pockets: Six openings (4 corners, 2 side).

  • Apron: Wooden frame around the table.

Cue Stick Parts:

  • Tip: Leather end that contacts the ball.

  • Ferrule: Plastic/ivory layer below the tip.

  • Shaft: Tapered upper section.

  • Butt: Weighted lower half.
