How to STOP SCRATCHING AT POOL - (Free Pool Lessons)

[@the1brippie]

My pool playing has imporved since watching your videos, especially on hitting a ball up against the rail into the corner pocket. It actually improved my skill set all around in aiming. Ever since then I have been more clean and controlled in my shots. Thank you!!!

[@FXBilliards]

Good stuff - thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your comments

[@robholmes2129]

I know that OOOOOOOH,AHHHHH,OHHHHHHH feeling! great stuff Brian!

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Great video! Love the new FXB logo! 🎉💪

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks! 😀

[@johndaniels8542]

The two head spot shot has perplexed me for a while. Never practiced it but scratched a lot. I’m a high intermediate player (APA 6) and have never worked out the English. Thanks.

[@FXBilliards]

I’m always glad to help

[@pa-mo]

Great video! And very good timing for me. I'm at a level where I kinda realize these shots are "maybe" going to be a scratch, but listing them out like this and watching them happen makes it so much clearer in my head. Now I'll be able to "know" it's a problem and know what to do to avoid it. Thanks again for all your vids.

[@FXBilliards]

You got it -thank you very much for your comments

[@ronbenevento]

Thank You Bryan, I’ve watched hundreds of hours of your instruction as well as a couple other gentlemen. I’ve heard it said time and time again using English for position play… I became a great shot maker as advised using center,high and low. I tried learning to aim with English and my game went completely south. Well my friend today I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!! Oh my God it feels so good. It’s almost as though I just joined an elite club. For me putting it all together …my optimal bridge length,shot pace and repetition of pace,center ball shotmaking skills,then and only then…..FRONT AND BACKHAND ENGLISH….when and why to use both. Cut induced throw,spin induced throw used to cancel CIT,but even more so I’m using a simple tip left or right to make nearly every shot. I finally get it…..it just all comes together…I ran 20-30 racks today after years of misfiring shots using English….. Forever grateful for all you do,you are appreciated!!!

[@FXBilliards]

Amazing ! Thank you very much. I’m always glad to help.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks again

[@steveg1559]

Great video, Brian. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve scratched on the wide angle rail shot. It’s a real heartbreaker, but now I know what to look for.

[@FXBilliards]

So glad to help - thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments.

[@GhostManBilliardsOfficial]

Yo Brian, I like that sign in the background. That’s cool.

[@FXBilliards]

[@davidstrom597]

@@FXBilliards i went from never placing in a tournament to placing in the top 3 nearly every tourney, and now hunt for players i consider better than i to play, all by watching, practicing, what you preach, ive made tremendous gains in shot percentage, and win way more games, ty , much appreciated, now im playing with pro level players, which also is increasing my play, and yes i agree, i never sit and watch tournament play anymore, would absolutely love to play you a rack or ten

[@dead2me810]

I won 9 racks in a row and scratched with side spin on the 8ball on the rail. Really wanted that last one. This helps immensely

[@FXBilliards]

I am glad to help

[@darindooley4509]

Good morning Brian! Hope you’re doing well. Sunk four solids on a break last night! I just want to be consistent with that. All I did was soften up on my stroke. 😃👍

[@FXBilliards]

Great job! Speed kills. Thanks for watching.

[@photorailfan]

Scratching is a phenomenon sometimes. Once a person scratches, sometimes it keeps happening over and over even when that player is consciously attempting to stop it.

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you very much for watching and thank you for your comments

[@photorailfan]

@@FXBilliards Love your content. Very enjoyable to watch and study.

[@rodconner9079]

Tough lessons! Sometimes we learn and it sticks -- then other times, we're kinda absent minded. I'm like - "this is brilliant" ... oh wait, yeah, I shoulda seen that & and the non-brilliant part --- I know/knew it!!! This game is magnificent ... yet so very very humbling!!! : ) Another good one B - yer vods don't miss!!! Be Safe

[@FXBilliards]

I appreciate it. Have a great day.

[@Jared45513]

Great lesson Brian! Its practice time!!!

[@FXBilliards]

Yes indeed! Thanks for watching

[@Harley.Davidson]

I'm guilty of "target fixation" at times! 😢 Then other times I just scratch.....😂 Great explanation Brian!

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for taking the time to watch

[@kpayne2911]

Great lesson. Been there oh yeah then oh sh.....t

[@FXBilliards]

[@saleemullahkhan3316]

❤good one thank you for your help to many of us God bless you

[@FXBilliards]

You are very welcome. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@strikerz2912]

Love your videos, well explained

[@FXBilliards]

I appreciate that!

[@benhill9257]

Mine was, an almost straight in the corner pocket so I cheated the pocket with force follow and came 2 rails out with the intention of going 3 rails to get down to the other end of the table and scratched in the side where I was standing/shooting from. It was beautiful until it wasn't lol.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for sharing and for watching our videos

[@rossbideon]

Another great lesson. Much appreciated. I’m wondering what level is a player that averages 5 balls on his first set on a 9’ table?

[@FXBilliards]

It’s more about the total innings it takes you to get through an eight ball rack as opposed to how many balls you can run after the break. Thanks for watching. Sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer.

[@rossbideon]

Thanks Bryon

[@momoneyinc]

Brian, how do I find a pool coach in NJ?

[@FXBilliards]

What part of NJ? Email me at [e-mail] and let me know where you are located. I might be able to help. Put Pool Coach NJ in the subject line so that I know it is you.

[@ThePrufessa]

Another common one is when shooting combination shots. Lots of players will follow the cue ball right behind the combination shot into the same pocket. Must hit that cue with low English to avoid this from happening.

[@FXBilliards]

Good tip have a great day

[@MikeBilliardsFun78]

👍

[@trevorsmith3947]

Hey B? What's the Absolute Best Masse Que?

[@FXBilliards]

I’m sorry I am not gonna be much help. I bought my cue about 15 years ago and I don’t even think it’s still available. If you can catch up with Venom, I’m sure he has a really good idea.

[@trevorsmith3947]

@FXBilliards Much appreciated B your the best!

[@Ret_Lineman]
