8 Ball Run Out (Play Smarter)

[@markevenson987]

I enjoy picking the shots when watching others play. Helps me get feedback on my choices. Great teaching video and explanation of your thought process in setting up your run of the rack. Thanks for you time and effort, keep ‘em coming!

[@thedarksidebilliards]

Thanks! I appreciate that! Unfortunately, my other business has taken up most of my time and energy, but I am really hoping to make more videos. It's something I love to do.

Perfectly illustrated and explained. Thank you!!!

[@thedarksidebilliards]

Thanks for that Gerald. I appreciate you watching.

I've shot pool most of my life. I can see now that I never "read the table" as you have illustrated. I really think that finding the 8 ball first and reversing my shot selection order of the next 3 balls is very good advice. I'll be employing that strategy at my next pool league shoot. Good job on the video...

[@thedarksidebilliards]

Thanks for watching the video. I hope you find success quickly in reversing your shot selection. Reading the table is so important in 8 ball and people I know overlook this because "there are 7 balls to shoot". This is really NOT the case and I hope this video illustrates this.

Strategy,cue ball control and execution! I’m working on it. Reinforcing these elements plus fundamentals are the key to winning. Thanks for the video

Easy to say but you have to put in the work.

[@mightymolefe5871]

Thank you for granting my request really appreciate it

[@thedarksidebilliards]

No problem. Thanks for the suggestion. Let me know if you have something else you want to see.

[@shasta824]

Great video! It would be even more helpful if you could add a cue ball graphic to help demonstrate where you strike the cue ball on each shot. Love the channel keep it up!

[@thedarksidebilliards]

Yeah that is something I am working towards. Thanks for watching and the feedback.

Almost there the 🎱

[@jimmieharper6564]

assuming your opponent scratched on his break. and you have ball in hand. with all 15 balls still on the table or even if your opponent made a ball and scratched. would you not have to shoot from the kitchen? i don't mean to be critical. i really enjoy your videos. thank you

[@takloygods1978]

is that 2 1/4 inch standard balls or 2 inch balls? thank you for replying new sub here

sincere

[@gsnicholas8522]

I saw a different pattern than you did, but essentially the same idea.

Sooooooo elementary .

[@jerrytripp9172]

Elementary is essential... make tough runouts look easy is not easy... just enjoy
