I made this shot on the 8 ball at my local tournament this weekend. Just a few less balls on the table. The 4 rail shot funnels to the pocket well if you know how to see it.

Nice job. All we have to do now is create a shot and make it on the first try. (LOL) Where most players might play conservative odds, I believe Efren was never afraid of those magical shots in a big money tournament. He's probably shot variations of them many times in the pool halls of the Philippines.

This is without a doubt the best video I have ever seen on billiards. Your explanation and diagrams are amazing and extremely valuable to anyone attempting to try and learn positioning the cue ball. I will obviously be saving this video and playing it over and over again.To observe what will happen with any given position and speed on a cue ball. WOW. I wonder if you could. Or have done a video on deflection as it relates to spin. At this point that is all my biggest concerns.When I use spin that the deflection causing the object ball to move to the right or the left missing the pocket. Thank you for your dedication.You are a joy to watch.

Not only did you show the impact and path of the Q Ball from the object ball but also from the adjacent longrell's. No one else has ever shown that before. That's the area that has really impacted. Maybe cause that's where i'm getting in the most trouble. You can be sure.I will be watching everyone of your videos.As they come out. Thank you again

All true but … I can still draw pretty well on even the worst tables. I used to think I couldn’t draw well because of poor tables. But it turned out that good technique made all the difference. Once I developed good technique the ball started coming back. The point? Don’t blame the table and use it as an excuse. You might not get the length on draws that you want, but you can still learn how to do it.

Wonderful advice. Especially the elbow drop and timing on power shots. Timing all the time. To me, timing is most effective when we start with the cue tip very near the object ball instead of several inches away. With a loose grip, the cue stick will naturally drop to the table, but that should happen only after contact with the cue ball.

Adam, great video as always. This may be a naive question but here goes. Is there only one shot that uses most of the cue tip (center ball stun)? Are you hitting the draw shots with only a small portion of the tip? Thanks.
@MrCueBall8 күн бұрын
Thank you very much for your comment and feedback. In my opinion, during each type of shot we experience the use of the entire tip. Regardless of whether we hit with a center ball, side spin or backspin, our cue tip is loaded with different types of forces. If we hit with a center ball, the force acts centrally on the entire tip, and when we hit with side spin, the force acts at a certain angle, which generates a different type of stress. I've never paid much attention to it and I don't have enough knowledge to comment on it, but that's my opinion on it.

do you have any opinions about elbow drop versus slipstroke techniques? i find that they are very similar, at least anecdotally as a intermediate player. would love to hear what you think of slipstroke in general as well. thank you for the video<3
@MrCueBall8 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. Generally elbow drop is absolutely helpful thing and I like to use this motion during different kind of shots. If we look at Shane's stroke then we can see that he doesn't use this motion but for example Jasmin or Fedor doing it so often. I think that individual preferences. But sometimes we are not able to hit cue ball where we wanted because our tip going slightly up and then down during this motion. So it is extremely important to move our cue on the same line and control our grip to not lift it during dropping elbow down.

Nothing is straighther than a stick moving free through the air. So if you can perfect the slip stroke, it's the straightest cue action out there. It's just hard to convert it into executing.

This isn't a 0.0001% chance, its called "playing the angles"; if on a clear table with no friction you strick a ball in a straight line at any angle there is a 100% chance it will find a pocket (there is a maximum number of times it will need to go around the table though i cant recall what it was but i remember it was less than ten). The only lucky thing about the shot on the thumbnail is he didn't hit another ball on the way round, the player probably could see/work this out. The probability is probably around 12.5-14.3% if it was a fluke, and probably over 75% if the player could see the path was clear and the natural angle.
