Swamper, written and directed by Philip Neumann, premiered at the Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival yesterday (http://www.pghindie.com/).
>A young pool shark is caught up in a world of underground gambling and struggling to make ends meet. His luck seems to change when he lands a job with a moving company, but it soon leads him to more trouble.
The movie was fantastic and has some awesome pocket billiards scenes. The movie has not had an official release on any online platforms yet, but more information to come soon!
In the mean time, checkout the trailer on YouTube,
It's been a while since I played some pool , would you have any recommendations for places where about 5 of us could relax , play some pool while sipping beer ? Anything around Sachsenhausen is preferred.
Thank you !

Anyone interested?
If there was just one billiards ball on the table and you hit it into a wall and it didnβt lose its kinetic energy, would it ever make it into any of the pockets?
I have wondered this for quite some time. My cousins and uncles play often. It is frequently that I see them shoot crazy angles around the table to strike a particular ball, but miss.
Essentially, if we disregard the deceleration due to hitting bumpers and disregard all other balls on the table, would the target ball eventually end up in a pocket no matter what?
In reverse, would it be possible, on a standard billiards table, to hit a ball at an angle where it would never enter a pocket if it kept up its momentum without deceleration?
(Pardon my poor terminology and ramble explanation)
