Appreciate you my brother😉 I really hope you enjoy and please let me know how is your rate of success! Don’t forget to share it with others

Yea I have watched quite a few of his videos!

@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining I was working with him on trying to perfect a new system. I think he has it in his shorts videos.

What are you talking about here ? Biden doesn’t play pool

Oh they are coming in loads my friend! Just working on the quality and information

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, thank you!🙏

Very good! I appreciate you and this comment has definitely gone in my top ten comments! Look out for my next post of four rail bank shots this comment will be highlighted as well!

I think you may be right based on the visual seem as if during the editing process the indicator shift and I didn’t realize but the math works out the same! 2 - 2 and cut to 1 or 3 - 3 cut to 2!!! Thank you for that observation!! How did you find the content good ?

@apexpredatorbilliardstraining I thought it was great!. Will definitely be trying it out and hopefully applying it to my game. Thank you!

@jgroomasb awesome please let me know your success and share the video don’t share the secret lol this is a weapon of fatality

This was an impressive comment and must say the best of its kind since being on KZbin! You were constructively critical which is greatly appreciated! I love the fact that you took the whole video in and saw where there were areas to improve because I too know that I am no where near perfect and need as much advice as possible! I appreciate you a lot and in two comments you have become my top five subscriber who have seen my potential and share areas to improve

You are absolutely correct about keeping position simpler sometime I do over look simplicity because I try a lot of new things especially with the level player around me they are awesome for target 🎯 practice lol for the better players to come! As for the safety play you saw this is a video that I did a long while back when I just started by channel and it’s one in which I can execute time and again! Many would say I am lucky but actually I am not that was very much intended because of knowledge I gained from a another KZbin channel called comp force where he showed me a system for understanding rail reaction off multiple cushion! Now on a slick table it would have been super hard to do that because of the slide but on a club table it’s very doable! You are absolutely correct of the complacency of position and how I landed on the 10 there is something that I see that the pros do a lot and still investigating why they do it which is a video coming up on the Channel soon! There is some debris in areas of my game that I am definitely needing to clean up 🧹 but it kinda challenging when the player I play with lack knowledge and don’t push me plus almost what they play is 8 ball which doesn’t carry a lot of these skills! You analytical skills are off the chart and I deeply appreciate you and I will have to read over your comments again again! You will be duly mentioned in my upcoming videos! I don’t think I can ever beat this comment! Thanks my friend

Can you pin the link to the specific video you would like me to watch and which Justin is it ?

@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining Thanks. I'm in the same boat though ... looking for ways I can improve also.

You will never understand the depth of how much this comment means to me! Valuable information here! Didn’t know much about the above players I know of them meaning John Schmidt mr 600 which is no more because Jason Shaw took over and max I have seen him knock a few in my earlier years but was never really drawn to his style! I am in Jamaica that is far away from those culture but i express a lot of disappointment in many players who I could never understand why they are on the high level pro seen but they are called pros! Now when I mention that the pre shot routine is the secret why you miss that was related to those particular shot buts it’s not the only or main reason! Above is the primary reason and I will be making mention of this video in one of my upcoming video I will pin it in the comment as a reply when it’s done! This is hands down one of the best comment I have gotten over the years where you didn’t just take what I said but you added value to what I have said as well! This is what I expect from player to pay attention and share knowledge because as I make my own discoveries I am happy to learn from others which is why my intro is I am an aspiring pro because I know I am not there yet there is much to learn even with the fact that I know a lot! Thank you 🙏 a lot and this is greatly appreciated! Powerful

​@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining Thank you. I'm glad. One thing that I've found ... these nuanced observations aren't unique to me. ANY ONE who plays above a particular level (they're able to run racks when they're playing well) has a lot of knowledge. Bc without it, you simply cannot attain that consistency. The trick is getting people to 1. be open about it. 2. Take the time to articulate it. Here's an example of something you can try ... instead of playing to make a ball by hitting "the contact point" (which is itself mythical, because with throw, it's not always the point on the ball farthest from the center of the pocket) ... but instead, to first imagine what the shot looks like when pocketed. As in, playing a 'video clip' of a successful event. It'll help you get a feel for the sound of the ball hitting the pocket, the slight curve off the object ball for instance, and, particularly, a shot that I find it really helps on ... is on a long cut shot ... to play the BILLIARD LINE. Not to play pocketing the ball. But the exact billiard line. If the cue ball is traveling exactly 90° from the pocket, guess what that means?? The object ball had to go in the pocket. Experiment with that for 5 or 10 minutes ... especially on backwards cut shots, or spot shots from the end rail when you're back cutting it ... just PLAYING THE BILLIARD LINE. Eg., in 1P, when people miss it, they often scratch (hitting it too thick). Bc it's hard to aim when you're on the same side of the table as the pocket you're cutting it into. If you'd like, I'll post a video and the time stamp if my explanation isn't clear the next time I find one to refer to. Another couple of observations I've made this year (after 30 years of loving pool) ... 1. WORKING on keeping my head still. 2. Adjusting the height of my head based on the type of shot. 3. Getting my hip away from my stroke. 1. Keeping my head still: I realized (after taking 8 years off and returning to play this week, after losing my good vision in my 40s) ... that my 'site picture' (what I'm looking at) is actually shaking a little bit (my head) as I swing my cue back and forth. Raising up a little bit gives my 'machine' (arm) room to move and disturb the site picture less ... but it takes discipline. I literally am now treating working on keeping my head still like as much of a fundamental to work on as where I hit the cue ball. And, as a result, I'm better able to see what I did ... (as the shot 'unfolds') 2. Adjusting my head height based on the type of shot. On thin cut shots, getting my head low (an inch off my cue) is a must. It's just so much easier to see the EDGE of the object ball. But what about when you're drawing back off of a ball to pocket a 9 (a billiard), or playing an exact billiard line to get safe in 1P, or KICKING ... or BANKING..!? Not only do I think it's easier to RAISE MY HEAD UP until you can see exactly on the rail where you need to hit -- but in careful observations, I see that it's exactly what the best players do, also. And it doesn't take much: I don't mean like Evan Lunde ... it can be as little as raising up a couple of inches. That 2 inches can be the difference between having good perspective vs aiming at an arbitrary point on the rail. And again, don't take my word: Instead of watching the results players get in videos ... _WATCH THE PLAYERS._ It's keen observation that'll let you find patterns in what they do. And since I've thought of this, I've seen that Efren does it, Chohan does it, Alex P does it ... SHANE does it. On all the exact shots I just mentioned. Some players who don't quite do it ... will still get down to their low head height slower. not just dropping into their stance, but slowly lowering as they stroke back and forth, imagining the exact location they have to hit while they have their perspective. Being low gives you more precise feedback on exactly where you're hitting your cue ball. But it makes it harder to precisely visualize how the CB will react off the object ball. So you always need to trade off between these two priorities as each shot's exact requirements dictate. ;-) 3. Get your hip & body away from your stroke. If you're right handed, and you need to lean over the long rail (from the side) to reach a ball ... your right hip could be 2 feet from your stroke arm. Yet, when the table doesn't demand that you give "your machine" room to operate ... you're all but hitting your hip when you swing your arm back and forth. I've even caught my thumb on a belt loop. Turning your head to your left and getting your back leg further away from your stroke arm will give you more room to swing your cue ... and, makes it EASIER to generate power. Often, the reason we spaz out and change on our final stroke is bc we're worried we can't generate enough power. And this is never more true than on the BREAK. In fact .. the break is when you're a little less concerned with #1 and instead focus on #2 and #3: Your head can move a little bit (raise up), because a higher head gives your arm more room to swing, and, lets you follow through whole lot further (look at shanes break: He follows through up to the join of his cue FFS). And, combine that with #3 in which you have slightly more of a baseball stance. Getting your machine away from your body. Those 4 ideas are enough to keep someone busy for a year experimenting with, integrating, and OWNING. Bc you don't know something unless you can do it on COMMAND ... under any amount of pressure. 🙂 Hope you'll take a chance to check out some of the videos I've uploaded also ... they're nothing special, but, they are entertaining. Unfortunately, I have dozens of videos that I've not uploaded. Every single TAR Match in fact ... as I'm friends with the big guy Justin ... I've been meaning to ask for his blessing to upload them all as he's lost interest in pool. Anyway, thanks again for the very kind words.

@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining -- did you see the other comment (above this one) starting with _Thank you, I'm glad._ ...?

@trumanhw yea sir I did

lol you are funny 😄 good laugh my friend

I have been thinking the same thing as well! Thank you for your observation

The time is now!! You found me when you needed me the most

I appreciate you! Keep watching some fantastic videos are coming

My object when I practice is not to win by potting the 9! But to see how well I can read the rack and runout the rack precisely! This isn’t a match it’s just a practice session where I am trying to see how well I can think and execute shots like the PROS

Definitely agree with you and I greatly appreciate your point! Definitely something I will be improving as time progress

Looking back at it now and I didn’t have much option as the position from the 3 to the 4 is what lead me to have draw the cue ball to that side! But I have noted your point

@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining those draw shots can easily get out of hand 😅 We just got the new cloth in the club few days ago, and the balls are flying.

I know what that feels like. Like I said you are correct in terms how the positions should be played and I greatly appreciate the thought

So much I want to say but the action moves so fast so I can’t say I would like!

I appreciate your support from the depths

Hey my friend! I have never played on a 7 foot but I assuming that since the diamonds on the table is adjust according to the size he calculations would be the same as I didn’t change anything when I first did it on a 9 foot table it was the same on the 8ft

And do you top or running English

@antwancooper9727 running side

Thank you

Can I tell you! Have to trick the crowd

Watch it again! The CUEBALL numbering varies slightly from the object ball value! If I was incorrect I wouldn’t have made a legal hit! Watch again and listen carefully

Watch to the end, when cue ball is shot from the 45 spot.

@vytasivanouskas awesome 👏

You are most Welx my friend keep watching

Subtract the object ball value from the CUEBALL positional value and then the first rail contact is achieved

That is coming up in a few weeks my friend! This is when I just started KZbin

You are most welcome! I will be redoing this video soon so stay tune! And please share!

I have been getting a lot of reviews about raising my camera but the resources I have doesn’t allow me to raise it any higher and I figure you can see the table clearly I don’t see any part of the table that’s hiding! I will try my best to raise in in the upcoming tutorials

I appreciate your comment

I realize I need to tone down on the excessive info! Thanks much friend

Hey my friend! Nice to meet you! The CUEBALL ball varies slightly from the object value! The first diamond from the bottom left pocket starts the CUEBALL value at 15 and increases by 5. When it comes to the end rail it increases by 10 hence we say 60 70 and 80… the value 15 I don’t know why it starts like because that’s that’s what I learn many years ago but I assume he math is because compensation for spin is required! Now the object ball value and first contact are the same! It increase by increments of 10 and he rails on both sides ares the same! I did a upgraded version of this video on my 8 foot table see the link below maybe you can get more clarity @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqSUnoueos9kmMUsi=Hjt5kBiKMlh0duJm

I appreciate you! I use my phone to record of recent because it’s easier and it makes the editing and footage transfer seamless. I will try to raise it a little higher in videos to come

Powerful rule! This is a pro safety tip!

I appreciate you my #1 Subscriber! I will be highlight many of your comments in one of my upcoming kicking videos

Definitely my friend! The precision is mind blowing! Learned many years ago and did a video like this but I was just starting KZbin! Now I can really dig deep! A series of them is coming out so stay tune and please continue to share and support

Seem like I have a new competition! lol 😂

We play mostly bank shots in our pool games. I only did it once. Up to that time I think it was around five in a row that I had done on that shot. My buddy was watching, at about number seven he shook his head and said ,"I'm not even going to try". It's the most in a row I've done on any bank shot. Next down is eight in a row on three rails into the side. All the way down to four in a row for two rails into the side. Funny how two rails is so much harder than three or four rails. Other one I couldn't believe was the day I made five 5-rails in a row. I doubt I'll ever match those numbers again, but it's fun to try. To me, bank shots are the most fun kind of pool you can play.@@apexpredatorbilliardstraining

I can agree 👍 I love creative pool!!!! Thanks 🙏 for watching

I appreciate your support! Your comment have not gone unnoticed and will be highlighted in my next video
