1. How do you define the pool and who governs the world-wide?
Is the sport of pool hall that is played on a rectangular table with a playing surface made of slate and limited by four rubber bands that are lined with cloth covering identical to the board. It uses a variable number of balls, one of which is driven by players with a stick (which has a cap on the end of leather) to make each of the plays. There are several disciplines and many forms, including:
The "snooker" (whose greatest exponent was Lindrum W.) is played on a table measuring 6 x 12 feet with six pockets, three balls are used, points are accumulated by shooting, making minga carambola and by shooting after contacting a ball.
The "Casino" is played on a table without pockets measuring 5 x 10 feet, use five keels (wooden bowls are placed in the center of the table), points are accumulated when the 1st cause. 2nd object ball contact. (Casino), knocking down the keels (sticks, etc.).
There are many other variations of the different modalities have been born because of interpretation of rules, customs, vernacular, and so on. but always kept "prima fascia" the game features original mother.
The peak bodies representing the main disciplines of billiards, worldwide, are:
For SNOOKER: WPBSA (World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association) for the POOL: WPA (World Pool Association) and the CARAMBOLA: UMB (Union Mondiale Billiards).
For the purpose of the pool and its disciplines are accepted into the Olympics, these bodies came together and with the participation of the following associations:
IBSF "Billiards and Snooker Federation International"
BCA "Billiards Congress of America"
BWA "Billiards World Cup Association,"
BSCC "Billiards and Snooker Control Council,"
CEB "Confederation Europeenne of Billiards" and
BFURSS "USSR Billiards Federation."
WCBS in 1990 formed the (WORLD CONFEDERATION OF BILLIARDS SPORTS) agency that currently represents the Sport of Billiards worldwide.
2. What is resilience?
Resilience is the ability of a material to absorb energy and is a function of the "coefficient of elasticity." For example, the wax has an almost infinite capacity for resilience. If minga hits a ball of wax stuck to the wax as it absorbed 100% of the energy of the ball. Instead, the rubber is about 50% of resilience because it only absorbs some energy-elastic, and returns to its original form or state. It is worth mentioning that the coefficient of restitution of the balls is one unit, therefore, the balls bounce at 90 degrees (relative to the center line that connects them) when they collide with each other.
3. What is the "crowning" of a pool cue?
The crown is the shape (profile) of the tip of the cue as it increases in diameter from the ferrule to seal. There are different specifications but basically categorized into two types:
1) The "cone", which progressively increases the diameter of the ferrule to the board. It is preferred by players carambola; blocks are shorter and therefore the diameter of the cap as the length of the shell are smaller compared to the "pool".
2) The "professional" or parallel, whose first few inches (2 "to 13") have the same diameter as the cap and the shell, then taper gradually increases to its board. It is more flexible and is the style preferred by players 'pool'.
4. Why is the cloth of the table is green?
In the fourteenth century the precursor pool game was played on grass. For inclement weather it was decided to introduce you to the castles and raised on a table covered with green cloth which was chosen in order to emulate the lawn, to the delight of the courtiers.
5. How I can improve my performance?
The pool of practitioners demand a lot of discipline, physical and mental exercises. Moreover, it makes us recognize that if we get something we have to work hard to achieve. As the martial arts artist executes what seems a dance, movement practice, warm-up, so we ought to take some time to exercise the "practice shots" and follow a series of movements over time will become automatic for our benefit. I suggest the following exercise: Place an empty bottle of Coca Cola (clean and dry) lying on the table. Attack in the bottle, roll control and prevent the contact edge glass. As you progress you will notice that the plug can enter up to 7 inches, even at some point you can close your eyes and feel "billarmonía."
6. What is the "blunder" and why does it occur?
The blunder occurs when the heel cap slips immediately contact the minga off center. You can be the cause of this "false attack" state of the gland, the lack of chalk, or because they attacked the very periphery of the Minga (default implementation). Usually accompanied by a pineapple-pitched sound and the path of the minga off course expected. Many of the "blunders" in the reversals occur because the sleeve contacts the cloth before the minga, this produces a hit from the bottom up, causing the minga jump and sometimes tearing the cloth .
7. What is the difference between "mass" and "pique"?
Both moves are attacks minga top down at an angle relative to the table surface, 55 to 80 degrees (90 degrees in pique).
On the play of mass point of attack is 8 to 10 mm. left or right of vertical (effect). The minga travels over the surface of the table in a straight line, then describes a curve, and finally travels in straight lines.
On the play pique minga not carry cash because the point of attack is always on the vertical plane (passing through the ideal center of the Ming and in the same direction as it travels). The minga travels over the surface of the table in a straight line and then, after making full contact with a ball (and before), back straight.
8. What is the difference between "retorted" and "rivet"?
The retorted occurs when two moving balls collide. There are those foreseen and unforeseen, may be favorable or adverse as appropriate.
The riveting play occurs when a ball bounces minga that is linked to the band.
9. What is the difference between "Buchaca" and "pocket"?
Called Buchaca to each of the six slots and dunk where the balls fall. Generally constructed of leather, plastic or yarn. Pocket is the space between the bands (four in the corners and two center side of the table) which allows the passage of the balls in the pocket. Also called the cuts semicircular pockets on the board.
10. Is the height of the band at the table "pool" equal to the table "carambola"?
If the "edge of the band" is very high, the balls will be trapped by contacting band, if it is too low, the ball skipped off the table. In theory, the height "ideal" edge of the band should be equal to the "center of percussion" of the balls. The center of percussion is located at 2 / 5 the radius of the ball above its center. Obviously as the size of the ball "pool" is different from those of "Carambola", the height of the band in both tables is not the same.
11. What is the "center of percussion" of the ball?
The "center of percussion" of a sphere is the point that, when contacted only cause it to rotate, ie, that there is no sliding (translational motion). The center of percussion of a sphere (billiard ball in our case) is located 7 / 10 of its vertical diameter. The ideal theoretical height of the band edge is equal to the center of percussion of the balls, but in practice is several millimeters less because, by the strength of the band, the balls would be trapped under the band to contact them.
12. What is the difference between a cue "pool" and a star fruit?
Based on the heels worn by players in the championships, in general terms, the main features are:
13. How I can get a blow to the toe of a taco?
If the dent is small, you can rub the neck of a glass bottle. This does not really "take off" the coup but rather extends it to a larger area so it does not "feel" to the measure. Sell solid glass cylinders specially designed for this, but any glass object (ashtray, glass of liquor, etc.). You can do the job.
To really "get" the dent has to be inside out. If the dent is small, put a drop of water, allow the wood to absorb it and let stand Wad overnight. The water softens the wood and may strike out alone.
If the dent is medium, place several layers of paper towel (or cheesecloth) over the dent and hold them with a rubber band. Wet the paper with several drops of water and let stand for overnight. Thus, the water penetrates before evaporating, allowing the wood slowly return to its original shape.
If the dent is large or if the above methods do not work, try the following: Cover with foil the neck of a pot metal and open a small hole with a pin. With a dropper to wet the dent and wait until the wood absorbs water. Heat the pot to a boil and allow to steam the dent contact. The steam heats the water that has been "sucked" by the wood which causes pressure inside out troubleshooting.
