The Tale of Texas Pool

What an awesome documentary of Texas pool. A San Antonio native who loves pool and this took a deeper dive into the game of billiards. From Texas Football you can't forget about pool. Big stakes, Tournament history and the legends all in one video. The game unites family making new friends and building lifetime memories. I hope this video reaches the world's eyes to come visit Texas and see the rich culture of this game. This game is growing more each day and proud of the pool community on doing its best to help businesses grow also. My son has been playing since he was 12 and I'm sure he's ready to witness this great documentary.

Great job on this movie...been waiting a Long time for a new pool movie. Set an alarm for the midnight release christmas morning. Wrapped presents until the very end of it. Coming from Nick Varners hometown of Owensboro, KY I already knew this was going to be a hit. All of the crazy gambling stories about throwing golf balls to flipping quarters embodies the need for a player to create their own stamp in pool lore. We need more characters like these in pool. I'd hate the thought of losing some of the most interesting stories without everyone being able to put themselves in that exact situation.

I play pool with my son and father, we have 3 generations playing league together, I enjoy the time I spend with my son going to tournaments, we both enjoyed watching this together. We enjoyed hearing the stories of each player past and present. My son is 16 now and has been playing for about 3 years and we have been to many tournaments and states for him to play in and have gotten to see and meet many of the players, he loves the game and would love to take his game to the next level, after the movie was over he instantly went and started playing pool on his table just so he can stay in practice and learn new shots. He taught himself how to jump and draw from watching videos. He enjoys going to tournaments and playing with new people and if he can learn something new then he is happy. He has never had any training from a professional player and would love to hook up with some to help take his game to the next level. We don't live too far from Jeremy jones and we go to Sherman and Denton to play often. Sometimes we go to Lewisville and Fort Worth when he sees a tournament he wants to play in.

I grew up playing pool in my cousin's pool hall in Amarillo which was on Highway 66! What an education and believe me it helped me learn and improve my Geometry Skills! It's such a social game and you meet some interesting characters! I totally enjoyed this documentary. I was very impressed with everyone interviewed and the stories that were told. Every great player was there and the stories they told were so entertaining and real to life. Thank you Kevin for all the hard work and dedication in completing this great story that had to be told. You went totally above and beyond to make this enlightening and enjoyable! Gail and Bob Stephens.

If this documentary isn't a 9 ball on the snap, it certainly is a great break and run of a movie! It covers the past history of the Texas Open and some of its current Texas pool players. Tons for great stories told by some of the older and current pool players. Absolutely worth a watch for hardcore pool players, new players and everything in between. Some of the stories had me tearing from laughter, and some of the one-liners after a story really delivered the punchline home. Love what Kevin has put together with this movie and the new Texas Billiards Hall of Fame, can't wait for any future follow up shots that he has planned on his future endeavors.
