Great information !

I prefer to leave my ball in the front of there there ball that's in the pocket if available. That's the best way to solve the "there ball is blocking my ball. They cannot finish the game without giving me another turn at the table. High level 8 ball or what the euro game is called "black ball"

Really like your video. Are you able to do one explaining diamond system (plus system). I am a beginner and this system is so complicating to understand.

I aim at the object ball, what's this ghost ball you mention?

Problem is with me is I dont know what rules to play with half the time. Will play a bit of international rules and some from the old english pool rules, bits and bobs really. Me and my mate seem to pick and choose the rules we like and play with them. Problem is I wonder if the rules even make sence anymore the amount of different rules mixed in. Sometimes we change rules a few games in. Its actually harder than you think to stick to a certain set of rules when theres so many different rule sets you can play too. Old english rules, world rules, black ball and international lol. Playing american 8 ball dosent make it any less confusing either when transtioning back to english pool.

This was the one video I was looking for. Explained perfectly what I wanted to know. Went through a ton of them before finally finding it. Great video very well explained and demonstrated

This is so useful. As you say I've become a lot better player, however I'm loosing a lot of games when down to one ball or just black. It's getting pretty demoralising so this video helps a lot and I hope things will change.

What make and name of cue are you playing with?

probably the single most important thing to get right and the most effective method I have seen to find cue position on chin Thank you 😊

This was great cheers!

Nice one 👌🏻😉🍀

Thanks for this bud, your videos are always clear and informative helps us amateur players out alot :) 😊

...which all goes to show World Rules are a bit rubbish.

And u not a pro player . Man Inam going to play like u do. What a challenge😮

Another excellent video with a great break and run. I like the way you explain your thought processes and the potential different options and outcomes depending on how you play the shot. Many thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Glad to see you posting, feels like forever since I we had the pleasure of one of your videos.

Nicely done. Thanks for putting together

Awsome

I can watch your videos alllllllll day long! Thanks again for the wonderful content. :)

Excellent video! keep them coming.

I find these sort of videos so helpful. Thanks.

Great video! Love how you show the viewer, every diagram in relation to the tangent line. Thank you

It’s just nice when I see your videos pop up ,,, appreciate the work that goes into it … have the exact same table at home now 😂😂😂😂

Really well presented and helpful vid! 👏 I have a request if you're up for it: Could you try show us a break & run from a less perfect spread, from a dodgier rack? In my league most tables are bobbly and unkempt, and almost impossible to get a perfect rack and most players reffing don't try too hard get it spot on anyway. Plus my break isn't always as solid as yours, so I'm usually looking at a much trickier layout after the break, with a breakout or two needed and a good bit of traffic. Thanks bud!

The first shot, could you have played a red into the yellow making the position easier? I mean, the rules you were playing, can you pot the yellow off a red?

I like the fact that you just explain the potential options as many of us would have a different way of running out but there is always that way that makes he run extremely simple! Really clinical run and your communication skills is excellent very easy of the ear

7ft refears to the table size or the playing field size?

Thank you!

nearest to which cushion?

I have a quick question In regards to the break what happens if a foul break occurs ie 3 points have not be scored but the cue ball also comes off the table Thanks in advance

MY drill regiments are usually on Saturday and Sundays. 12pm to 5pm with 15 min breaks every 60-90 mins.

Recent got a table at home and I've been loving these videos, thanks for making them. What is the light you have above your table? Since I'm also an After Effects animator / developer I'm really curious if I already know your animation! But I can imagine you might not want to reveal that identity on here…

Any videos coming lad? get out of trouble shots could be an idea 3 cushion escape or the cocked hat etc

my friends always be forcing me to play this game and I hate it so imma practice in my free time sometimes

Only good Videos from you

Also nice Video

Nice Video!

Is the actual plastic bowl made by a 3D printer? That is my main concern.

By the way , your cueball control is really nice

Nice drill ! Absolutely gold value....and not boring at all ! .....ill try that on my students monday 😉

This video really works! I am way better at swimming now

Perfect video for beginner

Thanks

Great video. There's been a bit of a debate of using running English or Top English. I think both because top spin creates forward rotation further securing the object ball on the rail. How much is needed of both will likely depend on the angle you are shooting.

Great tutorial. For the first bank shot. If you add a bit if low and a touch of right spin you can shorten the shot down the table. You can experiment by shooting towards the tip of the right side of the center pocket when trying to bank from the first diamond near the pocket for a corner to corner bank. Just aim towards the far side of the pocket on most tables. Using low English and hitting it slow creates forward rotation which will cause you to miss the shot and the reverse is true when hitting it fast with low English. So usually the shot only requires either a bit of high English at a medium speed or low at a slower speed but it's a good way to experiment with spin to see the effect. You can set up a ball in the corner in various positions by the pocket or just practice without the ball.

This was a good tutorial except I think it should be mentioned that the throw will depend on the speed and at a faster speed will not be a heavy factor. This is why many players unknowingly just hit it hard for better results. And if you use a bit of opposite spin to the cut then you can still aim at the ghost ball at a reduced speed. But with a high power shot that has spin you will need to aim closer to the opposite side of the rail of then the spin applied to avoid deflection. 15-30 degree cuts will require a good bit of spin while lesser or larger cuts may require less spin to pot.

great vids! have you got clearance for the cue the whole way round the table even at the edges for that room? Im going to be building something similar very soon!

thank you for an informative lesson!

These drills will improve all areas of your game
