8 Ball Pool Clearances | Pool School

This video just shows a few examples of me completing 8 Ball pool clearances from the break. I talk through the shots explaining my thought process and how I plan to clear the table, why I'm taking balls in a particular order and how I'm going to get position on the next ball.
The shots are carried out on a 7ft Supreme Winner UK 8 ball table.

Just come across these clearance videos. Really enjoyed watching them, pausing after the break and then figuring out how I might try it. It's then really interesting to compare your approach. Great job, keep them coming if you can.

I was in a similar position once in 9 ball where I could only play doubles. It was extremely exciting

[@onniroy4975]

Well played sir! 2nd frame - flick was awesome - didn’t anticipate that! Third frame - concentrating more on just potting when the going gets tough is sound advice. And as for the 4th - yes a bit of luck but you had sufficient knowledge of the angles to play them! A really good collection which demonstrates what a mastery you need of all the facets of the game to make clearances! Brilliant. I had a purple patch of 4 clearances in 5 frames and I thought that was good! But as I began to take things for granted my consistency deteriorated 😬

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers. Yeah I probably didn't need to play that flick, but it did makes thing easier. I think the most consecutive clearances I have made is 2 so that's better consistency than me. It's easy to make it look simple when you just edit the succesful ones together!

[@roguepilkington28]

Cheer for the vids mate.

[@bendegruchy4460]

How does the triangle continuously keep rocking back and forth on the end of the table?

[@PoolSchool]

😂 I know! You'd think it would settle after a couple of swings but it seems to rock forever!

[@jamesmcdevitt5327]

Nice video 👍

Pulls out a swerve shot like it's nothing 👍😀

[@zainsheik8441]

I really think that you under estimate yourself. I think that you can definitely mix it with the pros should you really want to.

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers very kind of you. Seriously though, I’m not that good. There are lots of better players than me in my local league so a long way off that level at the moment.

[@FALslayer]

@@PoolSchool how do you find a local league?

[@joeappleton4442]

Great video. How often do you expect to clear from your break?

[@PoolSchool]

Not sure never really counted. If you include from dry breaks then maybe 1 in 10 (I'm nowhere near as good as the pros)).

[@blahtoausername]

9:07 - what was that noise? I thought it was my stomach at first!

[@PoolSchool]

Haha! It was my dog, wanting her dinner!

[@Fkla-wz5rg]

which of the 2 racker triangles do you prefer ? i ordered the magnetic one that pushes up , i hope it’s a lot better than a standard triangle as they are rather expensive

[@PoolSchool]

They are both great triangles to be honest. I would say I tend to find myself using the Pro Racker more often purely because I like the rollers that give it a really smooth feel. However it doesn't have the magnetic bar like the other one which is also a really good feature.

[@sbs1199]

What type of cue do you have and where was it from?

[@PoolSchool]

It’s a “Taylor Made” 3/4 jointed cue with an ash shaft from a guy called Gary Taylor in Basildon.

[@ruairihair]

Can you do a tutorial on how to be a jammy git? :P

[@TheJestinator]

My technique is to not show the videos where I missed!

[@PoolSchool]

They were carefully planned shots........honest!

[@kmanpilkers]

I think he just did that 😆

[@stephenwalker8299]

How do you do a swrve shot

[@PoolSchool]

I’ve had a couple of requests for this so I’ll make a video on it.

[@JamesSmith-mn5xw]

Uterly outragous final frame!

[@peterscott5814]

what table do you have? is it the signature pro?

[@PoolSchool]

It’s a Supreme Winner

@@PoolSchool cheers just having a look around at tables for the new house. have a feeling the room might not be big enough so might save me money haha

What cloth are you using?

[@PoolSchool]

Strachan Superfine

[@chaneyrp1985]

What cloth do you have on your table?

[@PoolSchool]

Strachan Superfine

[@thrdrc21]

@@PoolSchool I currently have the Hainsworth match cloth on my table is the strachan superfine much faster?

[@PoolSchool]

I’m not sure I’ve played on it so don’t think I could compare (I probably have, but never owned it). My first table came with a Hainsworth Smart and I found that really slow. I had that re-clothed with Hainsworth Precision and that was really fast. I would say the Precision was faster than the Superfine but it was incredibly thin and didn’t last long. I find the Superfine more hard wearing whilst still having good speed. I also find I can get a little more action on it than the precision. Very fine margins and personal preference though.
