  • Hey everybody! We're so close to being able to play pool in public again!!! I'm ready to post more league matches when I can get them recorded! In the mean time, I wanted to try something a little different. Here you're going to see me run an 8-Ball, 9-Ball, and a 10-Ball rack while wearing my GoPro Hero8 Black on my head.
    I'm not commentating much in this because I'm more focused on making sure the GoPro captures what I want you to see, which is where I'm hitting on the cue ball. As I get more comfortable shooting, while wearing my GoPro, I'll be able to commentate better.
    Let me know what you think about this, as I would like to do more videos like this. For example, when I'm playing the ghost or in any of my instructional videos.
    Let me know what you think, and don't forget to subscribe

      Mr. Max Eberle, when i first play pool (2 years ago) i learn how to grip my cue from your video instruction.... LOL i grip my cue like gripping rifle (squeezed so hard) before i watch your video.... Thank you Sir.

    I like this extra view. It definitely adds another layer to dissect and learn from. Another player that I watch on CZcams "Sharivari," also does this. I believe he records the shots first and then adds his thought process during editing. Thanks again for the video.

    Looking great with the gopro very clean and clear picture Been very busy at my hospital with the SARS 2.0 COVID-19 pandemic so it's nice to see that life is getting better for all of us. Really liked how I was able to the natural roll from the cue and I was able to see the cue placement on the cue ball instead of a marker as I have seen before. Overall it's a great way to help my game. You take care Chris.

  • @ThrottleLockTV
    @ThrottleLockTV Před 4 lety +1

    Creative change of pace -- I like it... some commentary pre-shot on what you are thinking before the shot would be super helpful to people like me - larger gopro shots would be helpful, too, but I'm sure the GoPro wide angle distortion makes it a bit weird too, so I'll trust your judgement on that one ---

  • @rad0947
    @rad0947 Před 4 lety +1

    Dang! On fire! But I like how you were able to still continue the run out even if you didn’t get the angle or position you wanted. I wish I could play in APA but I don’t think I can because where I live BCA and VNEA are the two main leagues Monday’s and thursdays.

    Nice vid's. You could add - before you start your run, an overview of the table, mention where balls go or don't (if they are close/pass/blocked by other balls), why your picking the high/low set, and which you think will be your last ball. Then let us pause the video and figure it out.

      I set the tilt of the GoPro with the view of when I'm breaking from the center of the table and can see the rack of balls and the corner pockets. I used that view for the rest of the video only to find that not every view will allow you to see everything.

      @@LilChrisPoolPlayer I didn't notice what you did when breaking 8 ball, what do you do then?

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 4 lety +1

      Have a look at these 2 videos:
      Playing The Ghost: 8-Ball Race To 3 - czcams.com/video/zAak25mbtFU/video.html
      Breaking and 8-Ball Rack Two Ways - czcams.com/video/Pf-DVBopHSo/video.html
      For this video, I'm using the same break as I was playing the ghost. Since I'm using a magic rack, I can get a very consistent pattern break. The head on break will automatically push the cue ball back, so I try to add a little topspin to push the cue ball forward to try to have in land in the center of the table.
      When I'm not using the magic rack, like in a league match, I do the two styles of breaks from the other video.
      Hope that helps!

  • @XxXGutierrez
    @XxXGutierrez Před 4 lety +1

    Chris. Here in Brazil the cue ball is much heavier than the other balls, so we are practically unable to put spin. What would you do in such situation? what is the most important tip you can give in this kind of game?

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 4 lety

      Are you sure about the "practically unable to put spin"? 3 cushion billiards balls are much heavier and spin is applied all the time. Then much like the opposite, snooker billiard balls are small and lighter, and spin is used there also.
      What is the most important tip you can give in this kind of game?
      Practice!!! What other tip is actually needed?
      "Different strokes for different folks", right? Not everything will be the same for everyone.
      As far as applying spin to a much heavier ball, have you tried applying just a little bit (1/2 tip off-center)? Do you just miscue, or does the spin just go away after contact if you try that?

  • @bobhenson1433

    • @LilChrisPoolPlayer
      @LilChrisPoolPlayer  Před 3 lety

      With the GoPro on my head I emphasize more and staying completely still so the camera view doesn't move. This has helped in my normal play as well, with remaining as still as possible, but they are still times where I can still see a little movement as I'm shooting.
