Pool (Cue Sports)
Learning to play eight-ball and straight pool on a full-size table — cue mechanics, the geometry of the ghost-ball aim line, throw and cut-induced spin, draw/follow/english for position play, banks and kicks off the rails, and reading the table two shots ahead. Equal parts elastic-collision physics and nerve control under a steady bridge hand.
