    Came across Alex in 2000. He was 21 at the time but looked 13. I can't tell you how many guys he hustled. Alex is always humble and respectful.

    I use the mechanical bridge all the time it's a must for me since I am very short, I drill with it so that I can be comfortable, the look on people's faces when you know how to use it is priceless.

  • @hermanlawsontaylor3821
    @hermanlawsontaylor3821 Před 2 lety +5

    Thanks Brian! I’ve followed Alex as well, and he is a phenomenal player! His stroke is very similar to Efren’s stroke.
    It’s really good for you to point out the subtle details, that we miss while watching. More would be nice!

    • @FXBilliards

    Great stuff, Bryan. As a vertically-challenged person myself, it is interesting to see how Alex sets himself up.

      Height can change the game. The same way it changes the game in basketball. LOL

    Nice vid of pointing things out Bryan --- do appreciate it. To be completely honest, I watch to pick-up things, of how something my benefit me ... ya never know! Emphasizing the use to the mechanical bridge; many of us don't use it near enough. The position and accuracy --- or better yet, the accuracy of the shot and the position after can truly change the outcome of the game!!!! GUILTY --- I am!!! I don't use it enough, especially when/where I should and it has cost me. I've re-thought my approach on using, a bit of hard discipline on myself - to use the bridge when the "stretch" is not comfortable or just the question to use it ..... Get it and use it. It does make a difference (and I'm 5'9"). Thanks again on another (of so many) great videos. Be Safe

    • @FXBilliards

    Very good analysis Bryan. I am 5'6" and I do the same in terms of measuring where I can reach on the table for the next shot. I am a subscriber now!

    My three favorite players. Allison Fischer because of her mechanics, Irving crane, and Tony Chohan because of how he creative he plays my fav game of one pocket.

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for watching Tommy. Funny that your two favorites are at opposite ends of the spectrum . Tony is really fun to watch. His highlights show just how creative he is.

  • @cashfit8
    @cashfit8 Před 2 lety +3

    Really appreciated this video. Commenting on his height gives us short people hope. I noticed how low Alex bends over the cue stick, which encourages me to keep working on that. WF!

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety +1

      I remember the picture of you standing next to the cue. You are a tinny lady, but so cute. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

  • @thegameattendant1715
    @thegameattendant1715 Před 2 lety +2

    I really like the way Alex plays and I have a very similar stroke with a pause at the cue ball and again on the finale back swing. But I cringe every time I see him dragging his cue along the ground. Maybe it's because I am meticulous when it comes to taking care of my cues. I clean them after every use. I am the only person at the local tournaments that has clean white ferrules all the time. Everyone else has blue chalk covered ferrules that probably only get cleaned when they get a new tip.

    It's Sunday and my regular pool day. Unfortunately, my pool buddy won't be there today. So I will probably use it as a practice day, and maybe get the opportunity to play some one pocket with a elite player later in the day. I always try to watch one of your videos before I go. I will start adding some practice with the bridge each time I go. Thanks!

    ( Minnesota fats ) .. would be a favorite. I remember Howard Cosell from wide world of sports when I was little. I have a wall to contend with around my table . So I could only imagine what it's like to be shorter ... It's always a good reminder. to pick up the bridge... Thank you .,..

    Great tips and analysis! The only thing that I don't agree with is the Jump/break cue saving money. I would much rather use my j and j jump cue than my 600 dollar Schon jump/break. Paid 30 dollars used. Hits like a dream!👍🙂

    Alex is probably the top player in a country for the longest time period, he has been the top Canadian for about 20 years lol.

  • @Pocketbilliardshots
    @Pocketbilliardshots Před 2 lety +1

    Good points about being short. I’m 5,5 and so many of the times I avoid taking the correct shot because I just cannot reach it and I’m lazy to use a bridge. Or I miss an easy shot because I’m reaching across the whole table with my bridge hand 3 feet back on the cue lol. I feel like I have no control using a bridge. I can’t play any position with it.

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety

      Keep in mind that learning to use your off hand will help with some of those shots. Maybe start working on that about 10% of your practice time.

  • @philipa.giglioneiii8732
    @philipa.giglioneiii8732 Před 2 lety +1

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety

      You will surely see a lot more safeties than when you play with friends. Best of luck and let me know how you make out. Thanks for watching.

  • @TheDegenVagabond
    @TheDegenVagabond Před 2 lety +2

    Alex is probably my favorite player.
    I do have a question. What do you make of him spinning the cue in his hand before shots?
    Also being a little nit picky he lives in Vegas now not Canada.

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety +2

      I have a theory about this and I’ve been bringing it up to my students for over a year. I have a habit of flaring my fingers as a reminder to not over grip the cue and I think he might be doing the same thing when he spins the cue in his hand. Just a theory

  • @Chris-mw8dr
    @Chris-mw8dr Před 2 lety +3

    Can you make more Videos like this in the Next couple of Weeks ?? I would Really Appreciate it .. Thanks

    • @FXBilliards
      @FXBilliards  Před 2 lety +1

      I have one coming soon but not sure when it will drop. But there are more to come and I have a number of them on the channel already, if you have not seen them yet.

  • @MrJdsenior
    @MrJdsenior Před 2 lety +2

    I saw a Jasmine Oushan "What's in the case" recently and she had her powder in a roll on plastic bottle, like a deodorant dispenser. She just put a tiny stripe on her hand, very little powder in the exact area of her bridge hand that touches the stick. She said it is a great no mess option she discovered.
    I've gotten on tables in the hall occasionally, in league, where I feel like smacking the guy previously playing that has left giant powder trails all over the table. It is distracting and gets powder all over the balls and YOUR equipment, primarily your glove. I even said something once out loud and the guy wouldn't talk to me for weeks. An added benefit, in his case. Some people are clueless. Best part, I never saw him do it again after that. I don't try to be confrontational, but good lord!

    @keith14041914 Před 2 lety +2

    Of course my favourite is efren reyes (as Michael Jordan in basketball) not because maybe is the best ever play the game but for the way he played the game... So with this on mind I like too Earl and of course SVB... Last but not least Jason the "Eagle ".. And I need to mention from the new generation filler... Yes I know you said the favorite player one person but too difficult for me (for instance I think now and Albin Ouschan 🤔🤔🤔😬
