Billiards Diamond Systems Were Forever

Friday June 12, 2009
 billiards diamond, diamond systems, system pool, pool billiards No More Billiards Diamond Systems? Oh, Joy!

Master pool and martial arts instructor and referee Ken Tewksbury (yes, Ken is dad to major league pitching and sports psychologist standout Bob Tewksbury) has now adapted his longtime dream to teach a better method of billiards diamond systems for pool players--with key lighting.

Dabbling with pool inventions when he is not bust referring tournaments, certifying colleagues as peer instructors or testing pool equipment for outside vendors, Ken’s latest idea as executed is simple but highly effective. And if you’ve been reading this website for even a short length of time you know how much I favor simple and effective teaching methods for pool and billiards--add spot lighting to the rails of a pool table where each billiards diamond lies, then toggle the lights on and off to represent aim points for multi-rail diamond shots.

Ken is a fan of pool and billiards as presented at About.com and has kindly provided us with pictures of his new creation at work. You can also read the story of this billiards diamond innovation online today:
