How to dominate pool: 1) Play serious snooker for 30-45 mins. that's it. I did this today. Played snooker then placed a round of 8 ball pool and-- didn't miss a single shot. NOT A SINGLE SHOT. cleared on the first attempt. also don't get nervous. i used to get nervous, my heart used to beat fast, hands shake. Don't do that that just messes up the shot. Usually i play with people im trying to flirt with so that gets a bit hard not to only focus on pool, but trust me if you pot the 8 ball in style, you won't be waking up in the morning alone

When doing side arm jumping do you need to move the elbow in the stroking motion to keep it straight? If I keep it still I get a lot of unintended left/right

That's great advice, thank you !

your channel is what i was looking for

content is great! tnx for this! great future

This video is brilliant. I needed all of these tips 🥲

I only play good when I’m drunk, where’s the science on that?

One if you almost beat this pool monster your not an average player, two it looks like you had multiple run outs...that not average, three your stoke and aiming is great...your not average at pool..if I had to guess I would guess you have been playing off and on for a number of years because you THINK you are average player.

Subscribed And thanks bro

Purpose, intent, mindset, very good advice. There are other goals when doing the L drill. Have you tried them? I remember first seeing this drill with draw stroke only, almost no rails.

Thank you for your lesson, friend!

Will do man thanks for the video

Nice tribute to Efren. Great kick shot

Great video....After a session where my aiming is off....sometimes surprisingly off, I come back to this vid and it helps reset

Yeah my friend keeps saying to me that I lift up the cue afterwards and I need to stop doing that. He's right and I still need to work on my technique. So thanks for this video

so good! I think your site is one of the most useful page. Thank you from Japan.

Very interesting. Stumbled on this video, haven’t played in a decade, gotta go find a table and check some of this out. If I use a golf analogy, I address the ball, backswing, and stroke. I don’t take several backswings before I let loose…several things to think about in this video. Lost my pool table and the house in the 2014 divorce, but I still got my stick….

Why would you want to step back to drop elbow? Why would you want to introduce to your game extra unnecessary movements? Your cue should never lift from your bridge hand, also shouldn't wonder all around the place. If you want to improve your power shots, focus on your wrist flex. Here you can see Carlo Biado preshot routine czcams.com/users/livePN6U4ZCibg4?si=_QFgks0ecn7chMtB&t=2950 or here Ko Pin Yi czcams.com/video/t6bJwKVvDRw/video.html Also notice that each shot these guys play, cue tip stops at approx same distance whether they play soft medium or power stroke. Exception is when you are braking rack, but even if you check on Biados breaks you can see his wrist doing lots of work.

Hey mate.. Apologize for not knowing your name.. Im Lorry from Indonesia. Just encountered your videos and subs to your channel. Watched few of your other recent videos, those are all great quality content. Keep it up. You should be having hundreds of thousands subs at least. Looking forward to the growth of your channel. I found this video just about the time i want to switch my regular jump technique with sidearm. i would like to have an assist from you regarding this sidearm jump technique. Read another comments in this video regarding the stroke, had me wonder as well how do i straightened the stroke with side arm. So the key is keep repeating it till the mechanic kicks in? How do you aim with sidearm? Do you use firm grip or loose grip? And, Last question, what jump cue are you using, and what cue tip on it? Sorry for asking too much.. 😅 Thank you in advance.. 🙏

Is modern times the age of anti-science? Why don't they do experiments to see which advice really works? For me personally practicing body stillness, relaxation, and visualization helped me out...

Is gripping on side rails legal?

Thanks😊

Long Bridges cause more instability in terms of accuracy. Use with caution and remember to keep your stroking arm as still and straight as possible when playing any shot. Only play safety rail shots if you're truly unsure of whether you can make the shot, and don't overrun the cueball. You will always miss the shots you don't try to take, so if it's a high stakes situation and you think you have a chance of making the shot, go for it, but play the cueball long if you miss, at least make it difficult for the opponent to sink their next ball, whether another contact ball or the 8. In terms of bridge length you should always check your line of aim and not only rely on the shot angle. Check angle from the contact ball to the pocket, the cue ball to the contact ball, and of course, from the cue tip to the cueball. Because there are a number of aiming systems available you should take bridge length compensation for field of vision with a pinch of salt. Position is critical when it comes to pool, you are able to play any spin on most shots theoretically by adjusting for throw, drag and swerve. Don't only rely on making the ball to continue moving forward, you must utilise spin to position for your next shot. With shots arching over a ball you want to also be sure to hit towards the center line of the cueball as much as possible. The cue is pointing into the bottom of the cue ball, which means any type of side spin will induce massé spin. As said, you must keep your stroking arm steady and your bridging hand as still as possible. Finally, when you are playing a draw from close, be careful not to elevate too much or you'll lose your draw, and not to strike too straight below center, as you might accidentally cause the cueball to jump. until next time.

No elbow drop is the best and more hard

are you in Oslo?

Very nice video

Very good advice for most players BUT. Strickland and even the GOAT Reyes have no pre shot routines. They basically look at the layout once and hardly do the fedor gorst thing at looking at every next shot. Their skills and talents are way up there. Reyes not only has a somewhat long back stroke but also a long cue. LOL

I aim at what I can see. If I don’t see the back of the pocket, I don’t aim there

These are good, and your editing is getting really slick btw. I dog the long thin cut all the time, and my eyes want to undercut it every time, so there's no safe miss. If I aim to deliberately overcut, I just overcut. So I will try a longer bridge. PS: even though you're just doing it for the video and not in any serious way, and even though I did it a million times myself, you might want to resist tossing the cue onto the table. I used to think "well no possibility it hurts anything, not this very light toss from a very short distance"... but then one day the cue slid forward, hit the underside of the cushion, and that sent the tip downward and caused a small hole in the cloth. So I just don't do it anymore, as tempting as it is.

thanks

Your video and communications are of an excellent quality. However, all shots are to be aimed at pocket center and there are good reasons to use a longer backstroke--but with a shorter bridge.

I already do all.

Before Efren the Magician played in the US, there were no spots on the cue ball, after playing there, they saw how good his control over the cue ball is, hence the spots on the cue ball to see how he hits it.

Amazing my man! Great tips and incredible production quality!

Great video!

A good pool shot is how well you set yourself up for the next shot

Thanks for a very helpfull teaching !!!

great help on the drills!

Sets are stupid. Throwing a bone to the lesser player why? The most skilled player should win 99%. Why penalize the most skilled? This past weekend I beat the 2nd highest fargo(705) in my state. That guy works hard on his game and I am a person without a fargo but I beat him like a step child. With that win I am going to compete in nationals in Vegas. If it was a long race I couldn't have beaten him on his worse day is that fair?

Good one! Subed

Didn't have time to watch the video yet, but gotta say I love the thumbnail.

wow, that was really nice. how many bnr or 8br did you have? do you typically run out like this or were you just on fire?

That dynamic III table is so fucking beautiful ❤

Brief and precise video with really helpful tips. 🎉🎉🎉

Which of these tips did you already know about? Comment below!

You actually touched on things that are important (most YT channels do not as few people play decent). I'm glad you covered throw, but I disagree: I think it's less at higher speeds, but it's always present unless it's a straight shot. And if people stopped thinking about the "contact point" on the ball, or where to hit the pocket ... and instead, looked at where the object ball needs to be hit in order to make it go into the pocket (very subtle difference) it'd help reduce missed shots. Also, I think people should get really comfortable using as MUCH side spin + speed as they'll ever use when pocketing a ball at medium distances ... in a dead-straight-in shot. And causing the CB to just sit and spin after you make the ball. The inability to do that shows inadequate familiarity with the correct side picture for your cue's deflection. I suggested doing it at kinda firm speed to minimize the swerve that slower speed shots will get ... which is something that takes a lifetime of feel to learn to manage. But deflection is something you can really get up to speed on pretty quickly ... Lastly, you're spot on (again) about pressure. The thing is, I think people should make it a skill just like all the others they work on to train to relax under pressure. As important as the other things I mentioned are ... nothing is perhaps more important than pressure management. You have to deliberately believe in yourself (even if you're playing poorly -- perhaps especially if you are). Because nothing can do as much harm to you as the self-harm of doubt. Great job on this bro.

Doesn’t seem to matter. He made all the shots. 🤷‍♂️
