hi Stick, when you are hitting Rail shots, put some English on the cue ball, basically left if the rail is on your left and right if the rail is on the right, you'll make far more on the rail

I get what you're saying but truth is I don't have the money to go and buy a $500 camera and $1000 laptop to do this better. I have had people tell me they like to see when I mess up and it makes it feel more real and not a production. I have only been doing this for around 2 years and I don't make any money from it yet. I do appreciate you comment and I do have a video of why I started this channel on my page to help explain what I'm doing. As this channel grows it will get better.

"If I could put a link, I would put a link..." > "I dont edit my videos" >> "I use my phone, I press record... what you see is what you get." This is exactly like saying you don't care for the 'effort' in making videos. You'd rather just cop out and make a half ass'd production... It's your channel, do what you want mate. But if you want people to get behind you, dont 'brag' about being lazy. You might not realize that's what you said, but it's exactly what you said.

Thanks for the video, there is another way to play, you must call the pocket for all shots, not how it gets in the pocket, just the pocket, we play all ball fouls. Break the balls, take ball in hand for your first shot, shoot until you miss or foul, if you scratch on the break any balls pocketed are spotted, and you continue with ball in hand for the first shot.

Illegal break. Cue ball did not make contact with the one ball but instead the three ball first lol
A couple unasked for pointers, because we all love those.. Practice on not moving your body when you're breaking. If you watch the pros, svb for example, they really only lift up after they've struck the ball. Very rarely will you see them take a step forward, like you did here. In summation, just focus on only moving your arm (this goes for all shots, obviously). The break doesn't need as much power as people think, assuming the balls are racked well. I'd say a good 7/10 in power will give you a good spread and you'll find much more control with the cue ball.
@9ballwithstickrod3 ай бұрын
Thank you so much. I have been working on not stepping forward and more on hitting the 1 ball more square.
@Crxig33 ай бұрын
@@9ballwithstickrod it all comes down to good technique, and you only get good technique with a lot of practice lol. The weight of the cue alone, generates a lot more power than many people realize. However a lot of that energy is lost due to bad technique. A fault in a system reduces efficiency. Focus more on control than power for the break and within a month you'll be able to hit them 100mph if you want to, though I think you'll find there's no point. Just your arm and the weight of the cue. Shoot well my friend.
