As part of my guide to the best billiards and pool blogs - a review of one of the top blogs as voted by my readership.

This blog is really cool - David is a billiards enthusiast that has been blogging for a very long time (posts go back over 7 years). The focus on this blog is not simply pool - the Barenada site includes posts on cats, computers, etc… but you can easily find the billiards stuff if you are so inclined.
As David recommends- the site might not be for beginners. A lot of the insights and tips are for the more accomplished player. However, I’d recommend enthusiasts of all levels check it out - it will at least expose you to some areas you might want to focus on as your game advances.
What’s also cool about this blog is the deep functionality. David posts a lot of his own videos on the site - they are great learning resources as he covers a wide selection of different shots. Additionally, he has a large selection of table graphics that outline different shot types. There’s lots of great learning to be had here - he provides a particularly valuable section on practice shots.
Simply put, Barenada is a great resource. There’s so much here - including valuable links to so many other great pool sites. It would take me forever to list all the content, so just go and check it out.
But book off some time as you’ll be reading for a while.
