To answer your question, “did anyone else see the best ball in hand situation on that tough layout from the two to the three?” I was shocked that I saw it as you were contemplating best case scenarios. I love this training session and am super fired up to start practicing with six balls. This has been a weakness of mine in that I can get myself into trouble with poor ball in hand choices. I’m only now starting to run back to back nine ball racks and can consistently running once every 4-5 racks so I’m betting this will up my percentages for sure. Thanks again Niels!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Ron! Yes ball in hand choices are critical for sure! Go for it 👍🏼👍🏼🔥💪🏼

[@michaelsauer3783]

Looking at other comments on your video, I’m convinced my appreciation of your teaching method is well justified.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

It sure is! 👍🏼😄

[@matthewstowers1906]

Thank you for your explanations. I am 44 and at times I can be a really good player. But being almost completely self taught, I make amateur mistakes all the time. I feel like watching your videos will be a major breakthrough for me

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

That’s awesome Matthew. Stick with it, more tips coming weekly 👍🏼😄

[@apexshaniiofficial1116]

i like the way you speak. alot of persons dont know how to give correctives or suggestion for improvement without coming off as being a critic. your answer towards that 1 to the 2 illustration was real good i would nt even think of doing that

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Cheers! Lot of nice examples in that video. Hope it helps you out!

[@Daviswilder1]

All of this is amazing BUT....that little tidbit about reaching over the table on your left instead of your right foot. Mind blowing. Thank you so much for your content!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx! Yes that was a good tip I got from 3 cusion player Jean Paul de Bruyn💪😀

[@VinayPai]

Wonderful lesson! As an amateur it's so interesting to see the though process from a world-class pro. Such humility too, here you are one of the top players in the world and you still always say things like "in my opinion", leaving open the possibility that there might be other options out there.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you Vinay! Appreciate your compliment :)

[@LeeBaldwin9]

Please make more of these! Ball in hand knowledge is EVERYTHING! We are live streaming matches that are traditional 9 ball as well as Sudden Death Nine ball where you start every inning with ball in hand. Thank you, Terminator! I've been a fan for decades!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks you!! Stay tuned and please share 🙏🏻😄

[@patricktorrens1861]

37:59 this was the most instructive rack of the video for me I would say. I always find myself in these sorts of situations where the harder shot leads to better/easier position. I know that what you ultimately picked is the best way to play it, yet I have a hard time having the conviction to commit to the harder shot that has the better reward. I'd like to point out that despite missing the 2, you left it pretty safe (at least against the type of people I play against), yet had the 2 gone in, you would have solved the rack. I almost certainly would have tried to float the cue ball down the table off of the 2, and likely bumped the 7 or 8 - just because this is the shot that I'm more likely to make on the 2. This is definitely something worth thinking about more actively the next time I go to play. I think a fun exercise for someone would be to count the number of times that you end up out of position vs missing a shot. If you're out of position way, way more often than you're missing the shot, perhaps it's time to start evaluating more difficult shots that lead to easier positioning.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes good evaluation there in the end! Nice 🔥👍🏼😄 stay tuned for more videos soon 💪🏼

[@haocai1574]

Hi Terminator, Another great, massively helpful video for everyone who plays the game. Thank you. I wish you could spend a week in my house here in Chicago 😄😄

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Hao! Hopefully when things open up again I can come back to the states soon!! Miss it 👍🏼👍🏼

[@viktorbravo]

31:28 The word you were looking is “funnel” ;) Thank you for this exceptionally useful video. I often struggle with ball in hand situation

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep! Found that out. Funnel 👍🏼👍🏼😄 Tnx !!!

[@joshid8402]

It's crazy how I was just playing earlier and finally thought of following through rather than drawing on shots prior to seeing this video. Now hearing it from you more detailed further strengthens and enforces my thoughts on it. Far too often would I end up over/under drawing a shot that I could have rolled forward much easier for. Thanks for the help brother, much appreciated!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome! Makes a massive difference in your game 💪🏼🔥👍🏼

Niels. You are brilliant my friend. Your teachings are extremely powerful and easy to understand.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Cyril! Having a chance to practice?

[@yukunyang7413]

Hhh very nice to see you didn't cut the ball in hand miss at 59:10, just to prove that we are all human, including professionals! For the same case though I would think go with two rails into the line (top and right rails), which would be more straight in this way, in my opinion. And, really informative video Niels, would definitely like anther one in the future!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks you! I'll keep it in mind!! 😀👍

[@cdr_902]

Your videos are hands down a 10/10...(The knowledge and wisdom from a HOF career being dropped in these vids is priceless and I hope everyone appreciates it as much as I do!) if you wanted to make it an 11/10, add a graphic that shows where you're hitting the cue ball on each shot. Either way, keep up the good work. Easily my new favorite YT channel.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you Chris!! Yeah I’m working on the cue ball diagrams 😄🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼🔥

[@naonao76]

Niels, great examples of the thought process you ought to have to become a great player such as yourself. Personally, I admire your game because of that. Thanks for allowing us to pick your brain and learn from it. I really like how you break down every detail of the patterns and angles, and still manage to make it simple to understand. Please keep these videos coming! 👍

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

👏👏Another very excellent video. I remember Kinister's "it's a hanger" vid and this 'ball in hand' vid is even more important than that IMO. The opportunity ball in hand presents is too often wasted by not 'thinking' beyond the ball you're looking at.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yep good point! When playing the ghost for example you really have to play good ball in hand shots or you're toast. It's very important! More ball in hand coming this wednesday.😀

I will get some popcorn ready😉

I saw something similar but I thought you could get past the 5 and follow the 1 a little to get the position on the 2.

Good explanation.....it's called funnel .... in English...

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Danny! 😄👍🏼💪🏼

[@mrfrano100]

I felt so stupid when you explained why it matters from which side you play the easy stop shot in the beginning. it is so logical. still I did it wrong. So many thanks

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes sir! That’s a big takeaway, much overlooked actually 👍🏼👍🏼

[@snoholoans]

Roll the 1 top left corner at 39 min scenario? Why did he not see that?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Too much interference for next position from 2-3 😄👍🏼

[@mjg1185]

At 12:59, what do you think about shooting follow towards the short rail for the 1, then another follow to pocket the 2 in the bottom right (from the camera's perspective) to roll naturally into shape on the 3?

I have seen many many ball in hand shots MISSED even by the greatest players...... especially ball in hand behind the line spot shots missed by the greatest players on earth...... I urge people to practice spot shots from all angles with top english, bottom, drag, inside draw, everything...... old rule "if you miss a shot, remember it, and practice it"
