history of pool
This video was made in the style of and inspired by Bill Wurtz’s “history of japan” and “history of the entire world, i guess”
Both videos can be found here respectively:
• history of japan
• history of the entire world, i guess
If you enjoyed my video, please check out Bill Wurtz’s work because Bill’s videos are 100x better than mine. I just wanted to make a video similar to his for the history of pool. I hope you enjoyed the video and hope that you were able to learn something about pool’s history that surprised you.
This video would not have been possible without the work and contribution of the following very helpful people in the billiards community:
Thank you for your work, resources, and all you do to continue making billiards and awesome community to be a part of.
