Thanks Anthony for introducing me to the SID system during my training with you and for this video with more insight

I see English is not your native language.

Your cue tip is round....Use it Instead of the cueball.... When you address the cueball focus on the cue ball....once down on the ball switch focus to cue- tip....see the curve?...align the cue Tip curvature to your target....

Do you recommend doing a lot of repetitions on all of your drills or when a person reaches around a 500 Fargo rating is it better to play the ghost?

I'm so confused, first you said 1, 2, 3, 3.5 then you said 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and put the cue ball at the corner pocket which should be 8 but then you said, "If you're at 5," which I read to be 8. I'm sure this is a great system and thank you for putting it together but I was so lost.

As a former shortstop who retired for 12 years, I listen to you from time to time to keep my unconscious loaded with good habits and I THANK YOU for that opportunity-as I’m only able to play a few weeks every 4 months. I truly wish you would do a Halloween edition in which you emulate Paul Bearer, I’m telling you it would be a total gas and reach so many! Love your open mind and how you put thoughts into words. “Playing with reckless abandonment” is a goal for us all, as stress is the lack of control and open freedom can allow us such a liberating and empowering time at the table.

dear anthony where have you gone ? please come back and make more great content and videos if not i will understand . life throws curve balls ,thanks for all youre creative videos. i have learned so much!

Great video! Thank you! Super helpful!

Who told you that professionals don't want us to know? Are you a professional? If so, what prompted you to reveal the secret that others don't want?

THIS..was by far the best advice ever given..just started doing this and the results was amazing..now I need to do a few couple hour practices to get the new foot alignment down..but the funny thing is a instructor I went to when I started standing like this I was told youll never reach a high level not being centered with your nose not the center of your sights..

Great video

This vid creeped up on my just in the knick of time as my alignment has eluded me...but after this video, I will be back at the table tomorrow after work ready to 'LOCK'' and load!! Thanks heaps from New Zealand!

What if the ball is between the diamond numbers, say 2-1/2?

Nice teaching!

Clear as MUD!!!!

I haven't played pool since the 70s. But I used to hit accurate cut shots with one simple observation, to add to your excellent video--that the point where the cue ball hits the object ball is the same distance for it's edge of the object ball that it is from the opposite edge of the cue ball. A cut to the left say that hits 1/4" from the right edge of the OB is contacted by the spot that/s 1/4" from the left edge of the cue ball. So, when you line up those two spots and then aim the cue stick thru the center of the cueball parallel with that line of sight, you'll see a spot on the far rail it's aiming right at. Just aim at the spot full on, and that ball is going in! That makes it as easy to make a far away cut shot as it is a near cut shot. Just something I noticed.

I always enjoys your videos

do you use GB to find aiming line

I love the template and I understand what you are saying about edge to edge, but I don't really understand step 3.

Looks easy. Going to give it a try today….

Great info. As a professional golf instructor and a local pool instructor, it amazes me how pool instructors want to criticize and disavow what other instructors are saying. In the golf business, that was totally unacceptable. I see many national teachers showing drills on how to get to the center of the table. My center is an 8 inch box from the true center. I do not know any instructors who would consider a ball 3 inches from the spot, the center of the table. Some of it is semantics but lets work together to get people interested and playing better pool.

For long rail to short rail, I';ve always used the Sid Banner kicking system. Anthony, I think I like your system better. For short rail to long, I'll probably continue to use the Sid system. Just works for me. Thank you again!

This corner 5 / spot on the wall combo is a great system. I use it all the time. The sid system is even more accurate for the one rail kicks ... rolling ball instead of running spin. Great stuff Anthony

Great system!!!

I would rather eat a live wasp nest and wash it down with gasoline than listen to you talk. Our military could use a guy like you to torture captives into giving up military secrets just by having to watch one of your videos. It's like pouring molasses out of a frozen jar in Antartica. I only made it through 17 seconds, and I wanted to poke my eyes out.

I dig you Anthony, I'm 75 years old and you have helped me realize that work pays off. Thank you. Dave

Anthony, your twelve steps to a perfect stroke is a fantastic drill. Made me realize some mistakes that I have been doing. I definitely will work on all of these. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

To play and develop very well on Amercan sized pool table, get your child an English/Irish dimentioned pool table with smaller balls and pockets, and then later in life wherever they are in the world playing on American sized tables it will seem easy to them and they will win 90% of games.

Definitely good system but very difficult to understand. Needs to be explained clearly from the students point of view. kind of confusing.

you are pure diamond anthony greetings from greece im gonna try this thanks a lot

Just fell onto this video and it has set me free...for an unbelievable amount of time i have always tried to shoot with a straight arm...even though it was super uncomfortable and not really that consistent...these are amazing vids...hope you start posting again😁

Fantastic advice. Thanks

I think the ball on the end rail is worse than you have said. If there is 12.5% of the table from the first diamond and the ball can be made from two triangles on either side of the ball inside that 12.5%, I reckon that leaves about 8% of table that the ball can be made from.

I would like to know how to cut further. I watch Ronnie O’Sullivan and other snooker players make what seem like impossible 80+ degree cut shots. How do you see the limit and how do you shoot it?

Really good Videos ❤

Is this table on the second floor? The floor is so creaky. This gets on my nerves. I have a solution for it though.

new at pool, girl friend keeps betting the heck out of me. I now know what I've been doing wrong. She's in TROUBLE thanks to you!!!!!~!

What size is your shaft plz?

What carbon shaft are you using?

You know what youre saying...try read a book called positive intelligence. Basically about using and focusing on our senses. Between shots I feel my cuetips, my cue, the texture, I rub my fingers together. Listen to sounds....its called living in the positive and the present and to get out of our heads!

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the insight, Anthony!

I know this is helpful for low IQ players, this isn't a good example do longer shots because you can edit out your misses which I think you missed 3
