Jeremy Jones Pool Instruction - Aiming with Stance

[@ZSharkPH]

JJ Has a way of explaining pool that is easy to listen to. He has a real gift.

[@juliomac8497]

So true thats the first thing I thought on the last video now I look forward too his next ones

[@TampaGigWorker]

You must be his biggest fan or know him personally. Because I got absolutely nothing from him. He sounds like blah blah blah and taught me absolutely nothing

[@gaoutdooradventures]

How great is J.J. at simplifying basic fundamentals that other teachers can get SO wrapped up with and confuse a player to no end!!! Great job J.J.!!!

[@bwhite429]

Jeremy Jones has the perfect announcer voice.

[@stephensinclair3683]

Thanks JJ. That's where I go wrong many times is my eyes fooling me once in down on the shot and then readjusting. Need to trust my aim as you say!

[@xtbum3339]

New to this way of shooting but also not fully trusting the alignment. Doesn't always look right.

[@aaronisham9700]

Coming back and watching this again now that my stroke has gotten much more consistent. These lessons are much more useful

[@VillaG89]

I have seen a lot of pool videos. These two taught me more than all of them together. Can't wait to get on the table and start performing with these fundamental teachings.

[@RandyGriffin-jx7uy]

You are one of my favorite people in the pool world . I get so excited when I know you’re going to call a game that I’m going to watch . The shots you call before they shoot are most of the time are right on time . Good luck j j hope you never stop playing pool take care of yourself

[@dougslaten8423]

Great series of instructional videos. Simple, sensible, and sound.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Excellent video. It took me a number of years to figure out how important alignment is to consistently being a good shot maker (I am a bit slow on the draw). We see these pros so casually, it seems, get down on the shot we figure it is just something that happens without much thought. Well initially, until it becomes totally normal, you have to think about it. I had a bad habit of aligning my right foot (I am right handed) to the right of the shot line. This caused all sorts of problems because for my body type it meant I was pulling the stick back slightly to the right of the shot line and then coming through from slightly right to left - which is not good. Once I realize that alignment was so critical I have mostly fixed this problem and become a highly consistent shot maker. My advice to all watching this video. Do as mentioned! Focus on your fundamentals and one of the most important, if not the most important is alignment and stance. If you have those two down the rest of it becomes much easier.

[@andrijabujosevic1295]

Hi, I totally agree with you, but what I think is that we cant say what is more important in between alignment/stance/stroke. They cant without each other.

[@jamesdavis8731]

@@andrijabujosevic1295 Well, all are important. One thing you left out is aim. Without aiming right the other three really don't matter. But once you have the aim then alignment and stance are next. I was playing a young guy yesterday that had one of the best strokes I have ever seen. His stroke looked like Gorst. But it was obvious to myself and others his alignment was off. He really really the entire match. There was really no way he could should well with how far off his alignment was.

[@sociologie4507]

I always thought it was an essential part of aiming that was not talked about a lot. Very detailed!

[@jemvisualsmedia407]

Gold nuggets galore from a legend. I Look forward to the rest of the series.

[@jasonnieuwenhuis7995]

Brilliant! Your contribution to pool has been massive, greatly appreciated!

[@KevtechITSupport]

Great video. Jeremy Jones is an awesome commenter in 9 ball.

[@tonycortez8556]

The way ja explains is so easy to understand, he’s a natural teacher.

[@janetairlines1351]

Neils has a good video on this as well. Stand behind the shot line. Lay cue down on shot line with tip almost at cueball, touch cue butt to your right leg(right hand player) while its on the line, then dont move your right foot, just turn it about 45 degrees across the shot line that you just established, then step into the shot with your left foot and get down onto the table without moving the right foot, and everything falls in line

[@xmdang3]

Thank you sir for your insights into this topic! I will try your stance technique because I too feel my stepping is sometimes not as consistent as I would like.

[@dangoodwin8469]

Easy to understand. Thank you, JJ

[@logic368]

Great nitty gritty on the stance. Honestly, this is why most people are “inconsistent” from day to day, like me. Even if your feet are an inch or two off from day to day, you are messing up your shotmaking! Also, I think it’s important to mention that some people are cross eye dominant, and for them, a more sideways stance is appropriate, vs a more square stance. My vision center is in between my nose and right eye, and I’m also right handed, so a more square stance is appropriate for me.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Yep, being out of line with your stance, even just a bit, can cause all sorts of inconsistent shooting problems. Properly aligning your stance is one of the most important things there is, maybe the most important, to being a good shot maker.

[@kirkstrader4345]

Great video. Your first video has already improved my game and I know this one will as well. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with the pool world. Go Team USA!

[@andrijabujosevic1295]

Great video! I have started using these approach like few months after I started playing pool, it was weird on the begging, but now its a kind of mechanical movements. But what I think, its really hard to adjust to these things if you are someone who is playing it differently for a years.

[@RichardsWorld]

Excellent fundamentals of aiming. Don't fall for most of the unique aiming systems. You see the shot when you are a couple steps away from the table. Do you thinking away from the table. Once you are in the shooting stance you perform.

[@paulalan3351]

Great video

[@alvaroazcona83]

This is tremendous!!! Great job 👏

[@SharkTeeth007]

Aiming is the easy part , basically a 3 minute tutorial on body position is all it takes. A straight stroke and cue ball knowledge is what’s needed,that’s the work.

[@lonniebiz]

Would like to see more instruction from Jeremy. He learn all this stuff by eavesdropping on my lessons from Jack Hynes at Bogies.

[@johnallen9583]

Great stuff.

[@jlobiafra]

Jeremy is from the town next to me, Baytown, Tx. I seen him play in Houston

[@Bart_Depestele]

Thank you Captain

[@justinwr092]

I'm glad I'm finally taking the time to learn some good fundamentals now that I'm old and married with kids and will never have the time and energy to put the time in to get competition ready for this game ever again.

[@darrenhadden1037]

Great video 👍

[@ExtremeDeerHabitat]

Mark Wilson teaches creating the shot line outside the back foot to provide ample clearance. Do you agree with trending in that direction or are you firm on lining with the ball of the foot?

[@johnmcmcgrath6136]

Awesome tips tysvvm

[@andymonroe6136]

How do I tell my wife she's losing her home office to a pool table? I'll hang up and listen. Super entertaining appearance on JRE today, btw. ✌️

[@valentenicoletti3622]

Tell her ....youll take care of the homework ..... maybe youll do that 😂

[@JeffKernsTheArtist]

Are you going to earn more playing pool than she makes in her home office? 😂😄🤣

Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission 😇

[@diehardfan173]

Lol

[@HillbillyIslandLife]

Great content

[@hedwardharrington864]

I was taught 50 years ago there is no english on a cue ball until you go right or left of the center line.

[@hedwardharrington864]

has that rule changed in pool

[@hedwardharrington864]

draw and follow are simply below center or above center

[@cognitivedissonance2264]

​@@hedwardharrington864 Center, draw, follow, left english and right english.

[@abrehamhaile4976]

I like this course. Keep up on it :my aiming is svb aiming system try it its best. And that's why his aiming v.good .

[@08robertb]

“Aim with your stance “ love that tip

[@Mark-bb9qx]

the first video made completely question my mechanics. is contact supposed to happen when the arm is exactly 90 degrees, or slightly after?

[@roadrunner381]

Exactly at 90 degrees, at that point is at the bottom of your pendulum swing, if you make contact after that point, you will be hitting the ball during your follow through, that's not what you want!

[@brentbabcock7184]

[@wybu2]

We should play something cheap

[@JakeRoy96]

How do you aim like this when the ball is hugging the table? Don’t you have to make more than 1 step because your body is further from the table?

[@cvilleskater]

Hey APA, you put all these videos in this JJ playlist in backward play order. If I start with the first video, it's the last one in the series. Someone should rearrange this playlist 8>1,7>2,...etc.

[@maryfithen5006]

He needs to talk to Stan Shuffet

How many of you are able to see the ghost ball?

I’m just gonna say it.. I know JJ, he’s my older brother, ok?.. And he and spent years discussing an analyzing the game of one pocket with each other.. And nobody else!.. Stop educating the suckers, people.. Information has value..

@@jacobjones5269 I hear he's big into the JFK assassination too.

[@nielsvanderhorst6396]

Great and very knowledgeable coach. But... this time it's slightly unclear. The 1st (so not his personal which he explains secondly) way, stepping in is 2 steps? If so that ruins the whole lining up. His way seems to be 1 step, which makes the advantage of the 1st way unclear, although the square standing doesn't strain your muscles and joints, which is a physical plus. If there is one little piece of criticism it would be that less (words) could make it clearer in some insurances. Tx for your work!

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

Waaaay back when I was nine or ten, my uncle showed me this. I'd been copying Minnesota Fats because he had made the biggest impression. Now, like 40 decades later, I can shoot either way, so that's a real baffler to the competition. This may sound silly, but every single shot is custom crafted to suit the circumstance.

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

yes, 16-hundred years of experience.

Would be really nice if women could get some advice on how to adjust your shot if you are overly endowed - after 5 yrs of playing I have just begun to understand that the irritating side that appears to have snuck into my game at times is due to my boobs and short or binding them or cutting them off, I don't know what to do becoz the chicken wing doesn't do it for me either... D:< I have concluded that this may be 1 reason why I encounter less women than men in this game at higher levels perhaps?!

Jasmin Oushan has a video out on her KZbin channel that addresses that problem.
