My teacher told me is when it doesn’t feel right stand up and start all over😊
Great advice!
@@Amateur_Pool thank you. Keep up the good work.
Yesterday I was practicing and I got down to shoot the one in the side. I thought, "I'm going to miss this to the left" but rather than standing up I told myself to shoot anyway to see if I was right and sure enough! I just missed to the left. I reset them and got down again and made it that time.
I REALLY need to start listening to myself when that happens, especially in league play! I've not listened to myself too often
20:33 James rushes his shots. If you notice, he doesn't pause in his routine. He strokes about 3x and shoots. He would be a much better player with a proper routine, which includes a pause. You can't have a good game on bad fundamentals.
I agree, we need a re-do lol...
Yes.. we need a better showing, for sure!
Next time come commentate with him! Make it happen @amateur_pool
I was thinking the other day. Have you considered asking any of your opponents to come over and commentate with you? That could be a lot of fun with the right personality! Anyway, food for thought. Keep up the great work!!!
I've done it before.. a few of my older videos have my opponent commentating with me
I just got out of a 2 month slump myself. Something that helped me shoot better while I was in that slump was, and it's gonna sound strange, but granola bars or cliff energy bars. I'd eat one of those and it seemed like I was able to focus a lot more, i felt really steady and really good about the shots. I'm not saying they'll work for everyone, but they worked for me. It's most likely all in my head, but I can't recall playing bad after eating one of those.
Like a hockey player not washing his socks.. probably in your head, but the funny thing is, I'm gonna try it!! 🤣
Hopefully I didn't steer you wrong, lol.
Electrolytes!!!
I can't feel "normal" without em!!!!
I haven't shot pool in a month....😢😢
Just started a new job...
Maybe I should try and relax and go play a few games!😂
Cool little plugin commercial!...
Subtle yet still effective! 😉
When I get paid I'll buy a T-shirt!😂😂😂
When I'm in a slump it means I've gotten sloppy. {not hard for me to do!). Go back to fundamentals, your stance, alignment, smooth stroke, stay down on the shot. Doing the X drill does all those things. Shoot a thousand shots then eat a granola bar.

Push Shot - If the cue ball is frozen to the object ball,
pushing through the cue ball is a legal hit. If there is separation between
the two balls equal to or less than the width of a piece of chalk, the
shooter must keep from double hitting the cue ball. To make a legal hit
the shooter must either 1) When shooting directly at the two balls
elevate the back of the cue in an attempt to put draw on the cue ball, or
2) Shoot at an angle not directly in line with the two balls. As long as
an honest attempt at either is made, no foul can be called. If the
distance between the two balls is greater than the width of a standard
size piece of billiard chalk, a double hit of the cue ball is a ball-in-hand
foul. When confronted with this situation, it is strongly recommended
that a third party or referee be called to watch the hit to avoid
controversy. If a third party is not called, it is the shooting player’s
decision. Note: Should the cue ball travel past the object ball, a foul has
been committed
Hey bro. Glad to see a new vid. On my way home from picking up my 1969 Brunswick Sport King. 9ft. Can't wait to get it set up! Keep up the hard work. We appreciate it!
And I appreciate you!
Tight diamond pockets are even tighter when you feel out of stroke
For sure!
I watched 1 of your older videos & there was much more commentary about the match & shot description. Not sure what everyone else thinks but I'd have to say I like that a lot more than trying to throw in some funny parts. I still really enjoy the channel
I get comments both ways.. I try to mix it up.. next one, I'll do more straight match commentary for ya!
@@Amateur_Pool Plenty of time for the funny comments between shots! Keep doing you!
We should be able to get action for years from this video
No kidding! Lol
You get some tough luck man...i try to not rely on it but it is a big part on our skill levels. I love bruce lee and one of his quotes "when theres an opportunity i do not hit it hits all by it self" and in the back of my mind im always thinking that.
Josh you crack me tf up 😂
😂🤣
Mono e mono = man to man
you said that in APA as long as you hold the stick at 45 degrees there is no double hit foul ? is that correct ? I play in APA and never heard that rule. so is that really in the rule book ?
That's what i've always been told by league operators. Who really knows though! APA is pretty screwed up
Got that Covid cough lol
I eat covid for breakfast 🤣
Hell yeah bro
Did you say you were promoting the "Josh Bobblehead" figure? They would sell pretty ok!
Lol
I'd buy one. There's nothing on the dash of my truck 😉😂
11:05 I really question your oponents run out strategy here.. it really cost him that game man. I hope he watches this video and does some doctoring on his ball choices.
Nice to be able to see that 3rd person. Totally agree
@Jqhensley1 yeah it's way easier watching 3rd person haha hope my message didn't sound combative .. just small things like ball choices can win you games like that
❤
Why is it always so hard to pick up what's purple vs blue? On my YT they look exactly the same.
When I commentate, especially, I'm watching on my laptop screen, with is not super high res..
Is this a 9 foot table or a smaller table? nice game anyway.
7ft
Good hit mf
12:23 The phrase is mano a mano, not mano y mano, and yes, that's literally hand to hand. If you say mano y mano, you're saying hand and hand...not much sense there. Also, it's yo comprendo, not yo comprende, but you're getting there, lil Timster!
I'm trying.. como se de se... yo nessicito practicar?
@@Amateur_Pool I gotcha, Timsterino. Como se dice yo necesito practicar = How do you say I need to practice.
@@antoniog9814 exactly!
Rated R channel lol
Family channel, lol
ummm...not sure what level 5 or 6 would be compared to.....but...watching this video.....both of you would be on the lower end of the league....in the iron mountain/kingsford and surrounding area.
Ya, we played horrible.. I suppose, in your area, they never have bad nights
What English do you use on your break
Little bottom and a little outside
🤦
Hard to watch, you play pretty alright generally.
Best of luck & carry on
Ya.. was a rough night
Good joke, you two are SL 3s lol, that was horrible to make us watch!
Lol
Not easy being cheeesy😂
Lol
