Be Prepared: 10 Essentials for Every Pool Player (Not All Cues)

Hey, I’m J C! Welcome to Missed Again, the pool channel for advanced beginners stuck in the “awkward middle” of the game.

This isn’t about perfect play. It’s about my honest struggles, frustrating misses, and the small breakthroughs that make a big difference. I explore why I miss, what I’m learning, and how I’m working through it, so you can, too.

I've got a different kind of video for you today as we continue our mission to bring interesting, fresh content to this channel.

I am going to explore 10 essential items that every pool player should carry that aren't all cues. Think of it as an "EDC survival kit" for pool. EDC stands for "Everyday Carry"—it's a subculture focused on the utility and preparedness of the items you keep on you at all times.

These items don’t include the basics like your wallet, phone, or keys, which are likely already part of your EDC loadout even if you don’t call it that. Instead, this is the gear I personally carry whenever I go to play pool.

I’ll start with some of the more unconventional items you might not expect, and then move into the specific pool gear that some of you might already be familiar with.
