- In this video we look at a step by step pool table clearance. As I go about clearing the pool table I pause the video between shots to give a detailed explaination of every shot. This pool tutorial uses visual guides for the tangent line, the path of the cue ball and the where to strike the cue ball, as I explain how different types of spin will affect the cue ball path and give us the position we need to pot the next ball.
The shots are carried out on a 7ft UK 8 ball table

This has taught more more about spin than all the videos I have watched
The 'Best" beginner video I have ever seen. I watch hours of pool videos. Please keep videos coming.
The production quality on your videos is superb, loving the white ball image with the cue striking point. You have a great wa y of explaining your thought processes as well. Top job.
Thanks, appreciate that. Only problem with improving the quality is it's taking me longer and longer to make the videos! Hopefully it's worth the effort though.
Great to see you back posting again!
Have to agree with many on here your production is second to none, very good videos.
Fantastic video! I will watch this over and over. Brilliant how you used visualisation on cue ball line and striking in conjuction with tangent line, after manipulation of cue ball striking. This is the first video I've seen of this type of. Very efficient and impressive with production and the talk through. Thank you sir 🙏
Cheers appreciate that and hope it helps.
Great video. Superb production ! the line the commentaries. Very good.
I think this is my favourite video of yours, I've learnt so much! Like how check side can slow the ball (and what check side even is, always heard the term!)
Please do more 😁
Thanks for this video, by far the best video I've seen, especially the explanation of what happens to the ball when you add screw on it, thoughts and explanation superb.
Great video as always! I've learnt so much from watching your tutorials, keep them coming please! Thank you so much!
Another great video, welcome back
I love your great use of graphics and your excellent commentary.
Thanks ! …more videos like this on positional play and where to strike the ball for a given effect. 👍🏼
Another great video. Thanks
Really good video.GREAT graphics and explanation.I know you are from the UK (I believe) so those tables are standard, but I would really love to see you play a 8 or 9ft "American" table. I have no doubt you would be good on those tables. These smaller tables almost seem to easy - like bar boxes in America - except for the rounded pockets. This is one of the best channels on CZcams for pool instruction.
Thanks appreciate that. Yes I'm from the UK. It's a common misconception that because the tables are smaller it must be easier. In fact the pockets are some of the tightest in the game and the lack of space makes for a very crowded playing area, so accurate positional play is vital. The rounded pockets compared to the sharp angled pockets on the "American" table have two different effects. They make potting to the corner pockets far harder. With the American pockets you can strike the near cushion first and still make the pot as if you hit anywhere in the jaws the ball will go in. If you hit the jaws on the rounded pockets then the ball comes back out (unless it is a very soft shot). It is the opposite with the middle pockets. These are harder to pot into on the American table and more forgiving on the English table.
I've never really played on a 8 or 9ft American table seriously and obviously don't have one to make videos on, so I tend to stick to what I know best.
Your videos are always great !!!
I love your videos and yet this one might be the best! Can we agree that PoolSchool produces the most educational videos on CZcams?
The beginner / mid-level player that I am thanks you very much. Please keep going !
Do you think you could take a picture of the arrangement of the balls on the table from above for the next videos? So that we can reproduce the "game" by placing the balls precisely.
Wow, thank you!
Absolutely, that's a great idea.
Thank you for your tutorials. I've only joined a pool team this summer and found your content and advice very useful. My bridging is still quite weak and my potting success is poor compared to my opponents but I believe I have the edge regarding positional play. Ended the season P17, W8, L9. Please continue with videos like this as they really are helpful. Could you also consider a video covering the differences between rules in pool? For example, my league is changing from World rules to Black Ball rules.
Great video - Love the graphics and commentary they really help - Thank you.
We've been waiting for your good content 😜 this one is really superb to help us beginners and the professional level players
Terrific video! 🤩
Brilliant video, love the enormous amount of info
Brilliant video with amazing explanation, thank you!
Best video of yours I've seen yet.
More of these please 😃👌
Another great video! Great explanations.
Appreciate this info, awesome video
Hola, muy interesante y se nota que bien muy explicado. No hablo inglés, me gustaría que pudiera tener subtitulo en español, gracias
It would be great if you could do a video about the common angles involved to aid snooker escapes👍
Great vid,I liked the cue ball,tangent and cue ball path,could you add a power bar as well maybe...you have great videos thank you
Thanks. I have had a power bar in the past but I felt it was quite hard to accurately represent “power”.
Absolutely love your videos and appreciate the production value. The way you explain things is excellent. Are you fan of the straight on break or do you prefer the cut break? You seemed just off centre hitting centre of ball on the break would that be fair?
Thank you. I prefer to hit the head ball full on but I'm yet to find my favoured starting position for the white. Dead straight splits ok but I never seem to pot anything. A quarter of the the way across the table, I usually make a ball to the middle pocket but often end up with too many balls clustered on one side which makes the clearance harder. Off straight seems to give me the best results but still experimenting with exactly how far off straight. And yes I strike fairly close to centre ball. I find it gives me the most power and tends to keep the cue ball close to the middle of the table, giving you more options if you pot a ball.
Possible shot if you cant cue left handed to the last red was to try and pot the red off of the yellow, great video as always 👍
Yeah with top to land on the black in middle
Yep that's another good option. Not the easiest but then neither is a high bridge with your weak hand!
@@PoolSchool Yet another option I was wondering; trying to throw the red in with left spin, also with a bit of top spin to get position for the eight ball (potting to lower right corner or center right). Though from this camera angle I'm not entirely sure if this was doable. Also, it might require fine control with the top spin, because there's always a risk of ending up frozen to the eight, and/or at the same 'height' with it, which would make things difficult.
Anyway, great video, thanks! 🙂
Great video as always. now that you've had both types of cloth, what would you say you prefer between the Hainsworth Precision & Strachan Superfine and why?
Thanks. If I'm completely honest there is very little in it for me. I think I'm possibly preferring the Hainsworth Precision I have now, but that might just be that going from a worn out cloth to a brand new one is always going to feel so much better. I think the Hainsworth Precision is probably a little faster.
Question for you, not related to his vid. I have the same table and cloth etc as you. I really like the white centre line you have around the triangle area. Did you have this applied when you reclothed recently or have you drawn it on yourself? If self applied, what have you used? From your recommendation, I bought a Racker triangle but my friend I play with is disastrous at racking for me and is always wonky so my break is inconsistent at best. This line may help him. Any advice on the lines would be appreciated, or even better..... a video!
My fitter did it for me when it was re-clothed, used the same pen he did to mark the baulk line. It just needs to run from the front of the triangle, back through the black spot. Not much more to it than that. Does help you keep things straight I find.
Apart from sounding like you're in a cave 😃 this is another great vid, thanks
Thanks. I'll turn the reverb down a touch! 😂
Despite watching all of your videos I've never really considered the tangent line while playing. Some of that is to do with alcohol and some is perhaps instinct but it was really useful to understand the TL on all of these shots
Yes I certainly don't workout the tangent line on every shot because like you say, the more you play, the more you instinctively know where the ball is heading. It's very useful though when you just want to check things and reassure yourself on more complicated shots. For beginners it gives you a great starting point and is very easy to work out if you just stand behind the shot line and take the line at 90 degrees to it.
@@stevieg4198 Understanding the tangent line is CRITICAL to being a good player. Absolutely critical. You don't always have to really focus on it, but you MUST understand where the cue ball is going to go if it is sliding when it hits the target ball. After that it is much easier to understand where the ball is going to go with follow, force follow, a slight bit of draw, and maximum draw.
@@jamesdavis8731 although badly explained my point was that I have a good understanding of where the cue ball is going without thinking about it, if that makes sense. Consciously thinking about it as a "tangent line" is interesting
Really helpful! Woyld Really like More videos like this ”live game” videos
