But most of all, I play every chance I get. In my travels, I think I've seen everyone play. My grandfather slams the daylights out of the poor pool equipment, and my father mops the floor with me. I've seen couples play doubles and hustlers play singles. The styles are so varied, I can't begin to classify them.
People slam, finesse, calculate, and flail.
Pool is a game that really requires nothing from its participants. In reality, if you smack the balls around long enough, random collisions will clear the table for you. In the meantime, you can have fun with your friends. There is something fascinating about the collisions of those spheres. I think it's the stout defiance that the game presents to its players.
