Whilst playing pool in the pub the other night i noticed that i was seeing the angles very easily and found the game a lot easier than normal. I started going for shots that i wouldnt normally go for in real life because i knew if i hit the balls sweetly like on this site they would go in. Thanks funkypool you have won me a few pints.
Has anybody else noticed this?

Well when i joined the old www.poolgame.co.uk a few years ago i was fairly skilled at pool on a real table, which helped me play ok on 'Pool Sharks'.

But yeah, its good to play both, improves both games.

I'd say it's helped a little, not made me a real pro though.

I think it certainly helps with thinking about shots. I can only play US pool cause I'm half blind and poop, but I seem to be able to hold my own against my mates!


So really, it's a yes for me!

No it doesn't. I'm still too short even when standing on the laptop.
