I think it would be great if you showed where you’re hitting on the cue ball.

[@billiarduniversity5842]

I have been a professional instructor for 15 years. This guy explains things so well. I would rank him as the best world class player that has become an instructor that i have seen. When it comes to upper level tips. This is THE MAN no doubt.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx for your kind compliment!!😀🙏

[@hunchemlnarik]

one of the better instructionals ive seen. the funnel concept is a revelation. ive heard of "crossing the position line" often in commentaries , but never has it been explained. bert kinnister, the best pool instructor in the game, taught neils the game, and it shows here. too many "instructionals" on youtube, like sharivari and the like, waste your time with impractical or basic knowledge, and as a result you learn nothing

[@arijano82]

Let me demonstrate!!! The most imortant sentence And he actually demonstrates. Great Video 👍 Greetings from Swiss

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

:) Tnx Arijano! All the best!

Skyler said on a pod cast said you, Earl and Shane were the the biggest contributors to his success. Great company, cheers !!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Wow that’s a nice compliment 🙏🏻👍🏼😄

[@abduhast]

Great explanation, clear video, awesome tips. I would only recommend to show the position you are hitting on the cue ball. Especially for the last shot you made.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep I will start doing that soon! Tnx!!

[@oxisoil6364]

Looks like just a half tip below center to me

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Nice one!!! Keep it up💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😄

[@jakt1962]

Niels, absolutely fantastic video, many people have knowledge but they don’t know how to present it or there simply not good teachers. I’m 60 years old and have seen every instructional video there is from Bob Byrnes to Tom Rosman, In my opinion your a natural instructor/teacher and your videos are absolutely brilliant. JT’s cuerepair Boston Mass.

[@Soniccues]

As an instructor in a past life, the phrase "Those who can, do. and those who can't, teach." has always bothered me. Those teachers that are from the "can't" spectrum are poor instructors as well. When you are lucky enough to have a "Can" instructor, you will understand the knowledge given and understanding is 1000 times better then memorizing. We are fortunate enough to have a top end pro that can teach as well, a dynamic duo. Well done Niels. I just discovered your videos and being someone that formally taught technical instruction in the past, I instantly recognized both knowledge and instructional technique in you. I love the science of pool and love to teach others and your videos just got added to my must watch series of pool lessons. PS I am no one of consequence in the pool world but I love teaching and learning pool. Most recently bridging at the pivot point with BHE and FHE (Back and Front Hand English), has been a game changer for cue ball control.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks for the positive feedback Tim!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😄

I'm not sure why but the Europeans are remarkable in making these videos that are clear and digestible, usually always with something you didn't know, realize or think about. Niels, Jasmin and Ralph are my three favorites.

What a great resource. I've been playing at a pretty high amateur level for several years. I can count on 1hand how many times better players have tried helping me.

[@michaelrhodes2013]

Watched you play a match in dayton ohio at airway billiards over 20 years ago. One of the most impactful experiences of my pool career. You won the first set, and the horse for the other player then wanted you to give up weight. The look of disgust on your face was an expression ill never forget. Been a fan ever since. Thanks for the videos.

This is the type of valuable instruction I was referencing when we corresponded on FB a few months ago, Niels. The mental game stuff is excellent but a majority of players can really benefit from the strategy and fundamentals aspects of the game of which you have very few if any peers. Really appreciate you sharing this video and I'm extremely excited to see more coming soon! Huge thanks!

[@blueak3339]

Best pro instruction on KZbin.

[@keithkruger7270]

Great instruction Niels, for your top point -playing into funnels you might want to add a graphic onto the video to show what you mean...your final acceptable position area is triangle shaped and you're encouraging entering from the furthest end. Maybe draw that triangle onscreen so people can visualize what you're describing.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Keith but no clue how to do that in Final Cut Pro..😬

"Draw for show, follow for the dough." Nice stuff, Niels!

[@rolfforsell9262]

Thanks for a great lesson. It also would help if you could explain how you hit the cueball in each shot to get position.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep I worked on that. Made all the cue ball diagrams. From next week they are in! 😄 stay tuned 😄😄

[@johnnyp6202]

Great video. I like the funnel concept as opposed to the image of coming down the line. Allows the visualization to have a greater margin for error.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep exactly right! 👍🏼🔥😄

[@joerobertson7887]

Good video! I can't seem to concentrate well enough on the 3 balls ahead, but you have some good tips in here on how to do that. Thanks!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Nice!! To improve your focus, consider the courses at my college www.terminator-college.com

[@rpx492]

Great instruction as always, Niels. I've always heard of the "funnel" as playing into a "wedge" for position. For beginners to the concept, it might be a good idea to explain that the funnel is called that because it widens the farther you get from the object ball. I think it helps people to visualize the proper zone they should be looking for as well as emphasizing the increased margin for error in speed as well as direction. Love watching you play, some of the most solid fundamentals out there. A great pro for a beginner to model their foundation after. Keep up the good work!

[@antoniog9814]

@@Soniccues I agree with your opinion on the phrase. It’s definitely better to have a teacher who can demonstrate instead of just teaching theory alone, but to me, I think the meaning comes from the perspective of someone who can no longer do, as is the case with coaches, for example. While young, they can perform at peak levels. Once retired, they dedicate themselves to teaching from all the experience acquired. At least Neils can still do both.

[@mehdim544]

Great video Neils, I think for beginners its worth mentioning that you need to be on the correct side of the ball. meaning that the pocket line of the object ball into the pocket. so when playing position come off a rail and make sure you come into position but also make sure that you are on the left or right of the pocket line (object ball going through the pocket). So having ball in hand is really important to create the angle that will ultimately get you in that position zone with maximum margin of error (speed) rather than (direction). Planning perfect position is an art especially when the layouts are extremely difficult.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Awesome 👍🏼💪🏼😄

[@user-qk5fq2ku1q]

Thank you Nelis, your very informative! Quick question, whats your preference using open open bridge or not using your finger over the pool cue while shooting?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Closed bridge ;)

[@adamroos906]

Tip #2 by far is most useful to apply to all shots. Always chose paths that take you into the line of shot you want. My friends always wonder why I take 2-3 rails on most shots where they would have gone one rail. There is a REASON, the rails are your friend! Like Neil said you're margin for error goes way up. Falling inline with the ball you might have 3-5 feet to play with for speed. You will have your ideal angle it's just a matter of if you're a little long, perfect or little close to your next ball. Going across the line on the same shot you might only have a room to land thats 6" and it's either you got you're ideal angle or more then likely to came short or long. Great video.

[@woza2023]

Yes I would agree with that. On the last example I wasn’t sure exactly how you would play the correct and incorrect shot. One has more left spin I presume, or less top?
