How does the taper compare to the Revo. Im looking for something with a longer taper like a cynergy or Jacoby black. This seems like ot fits the bill for cheaper and less deflection. Unfortunately, no reseller's have them so it's a "you chalk it you buy it," return policy unfortunately.

I knew a guy he broke so hard you could hear the ball cook the felt; he is gone now but I still remember the sound zzzzzzzz across the felt.

Every one of those shots misses on an English table.

I WANT THAT GLOVE!!!

Gotta watch for distractions😂

Drills make you into a good drill player not a good pool player. Oftentimes, top drill players never really win anything

Hey Dupree, great videos. Without using the diamonds, whatever angle you shoot the ball, the direction after the bank will be the exact opposite of the shot. For example, if you shoot at 30 degrees, the ball will return 30 degrees after the bank. So, if you need a 90 degree bank, you just shoot the ball at a 45 degree angle, and you should pocket the ball(excluding ALL spin, of course). Will you do more videos on how spin affects the shots?

Two thumbs up. Nice simple explanation of how to use the diamonds on a pool table/

I knew what this video was gonna be and it still frustrated me to no end

This is one of my challenge on the table. I feel you really need to do this tutorial one more time and it should be long enough for further details.

Anyone not using high deflection maple is either a sell out or a new age child who will never understand true pool.

Yeah been using tanners book for a while now! Good stuff also done online lessons with him! Before actually getting the book, definitely worth it in my opinion

Great content buddy

LMFAO😂😂😂😂😂

New subscriber here!! Only a few videos in but I really appreciate your content bro! Just got a J Flowers with the standard carbon fiber shaft. I have only been playing for a couple of years. Coming off my old Valhalla i knew there would be a learning curve. Hope to tighten up the game then upgrade J Flower shafts when my game dictates. Take care gentlemen!

What a GREAT video. Thx ! I do have a question … as a newbie I’ve found that if I do a dramatic pause after I pull the cue back and then gradually increase the speed through the ball I have much better control with my shots. But, I struggle with how to pull the cue back as I often sort of twist my hand. I concentrate on just using my forearm but if you have any suggestions I’d appreciate them. Thx again.

Brotha, i thouroughly enjoy the videos you post. My goal of 2025 is to move up to a 6. A lot of your videos and drills have helped me move up to a 5 last session and Im going to keep it rolling. Keep doing what you do! We all appreciate it!

Thanks for sharing 👍

What an amazing video, but I have so many questions. I’ve been playing for about six months and am completely hooked. I bought a Viking Valhalla and it’s a great cue but I’m looking for a new cue. Specifically, I want a low deflection carbon fiber and am willing to spend some serious bucks. Any suggestions? I know that’s a loaded question but figured I might as well ask like a top 3 cues you would suggest. Thanks. Also I really really appreciate your honesty about it taking time to adjust to new cue.

is that a whyte carbon shaft? does anyone know why there isn't any review videos of the whyte carbon shafts on youtube, it's always revo vs this shaft or that shaft but nothing on the whyte carbon

SMO is hands down the best shaft I've ever used and I've played 45 years. My game is 2-3 balls better. It's a game changer.

Basically, a cushion-side spin

What kind of table was that ? Rasson?

Thank you 🙏🏽

2:07 That's how I make that shot. Help me out here please. One would think that right english would deflect the ball left thus resulting in a thicker hit. Is the spin effect stronger than the deflection (realized deflection is low).

I also do a ceremonial and easy first shot with any new cue or shaft.

Hands up for giving information about low deflection cue

How to join the giveaway, Greatvid btw because i only use a pampanga wood so im kinda curious to use a Lowdeflection cue

BRILLIANT! 🏆

I watched the actual shot like 50x, thinking he must be the greatest ever 😅😅 , then watched this one quickly realizing it a video 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Great video. Cant wait to get my own SMO this year. Saving money for that with Eagle Eye cue. 😊

Shot 1 is the most obvious, natural, and straightforward choice, so I'd go with that.

This is a 9 ball rack

Smooth

Great share! Good looks on this one ✌️

You still have to know where to hit the object ball and compensate for the slight hit off center.

Have you tried doing this on tables in England instead of the US tables that have bigger pockets and what look like straight sides to the pockets instead of the rounded ones in the UK?

Bro was on a streak😂😂😂

So i gotta cut my tip up ?

Does it also work for someone that has a straight stroke?

You steered that 8 ball in.

The comments never cease to impress me lol 🤦🏻‍♂️….. These are cool, but a shame the camera is off to the side of the frames. It’s like they designed them without poolplayers in mind! Rude…

I was taught to cut OB in half and the side I'm going to hit it on, cut in half again. That'll give you your bank angle. Been using it for years and has always worked

There are no stripes in the table. That makes the runout too easy.

How full of the object ball are you hitting iam watching on my cell I can't slow it down too see

That is EXACLY what I say to myself each time I miss a shot lol

Why

Where can I get a pair of glasses that record like this?

Sucks when you sink all of your stripes but not the 8 ball and then someone comes along with a camera and cleans up

This is dumb. This is for very mediocre players
