cattywampus0 Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Don't mean the Answer Pool, but regular pool, like 9-ball, straight, or my favorite, 8 ball. In particular I am curious about two things: Those evenly-spaced dots on the rail, what are they for? What's the best and easiest way to learn about angles? Thanks anyone, for any help.

Posted Hide Post LOL jelp, that's how I feel. Many years ago my husband and I played at least three times a week, and we got so good we were playing $100 per game (when we could find a sucker). But that's been a long time ago, and I haven't played much since. Even then, I played by instinct, just aiming and shooting. Now I'm interested in the mechanics. What I should have asked is, how does one use those dots on the rail to bank?
