HOW to HOLD the pool cue right

[@carlcrader1939]

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love your content. My kids won't listen to me but they will listen to you. Thank you so very much.

[@stevenlawrencepalenik4532]

I absolutely love your channel. There are many instructors out there, but you make your lessons so much fun. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@BillCollins-qv9dz]

Beauty, brains and one of the top pool players in the world. Does not get better than that. You are awesome, Jasmin.

[@garymurawski1476]

is she?

[@DrGargani]

no one else is saying it on here, but I will: You're gorgeous....seriously....and you have a very pleasant, easy to understand, speaking voice, and I think you did a splendid job explaining what you were trying to get across in this video...thank you!!

Please follow someone who isn’t pretty- it’s a whole different game- probably you will hate pool and never play. I never realized how important looks are. I’m asking Kelly Fisher’s channel to be removed from u tube- and the Black Widow- l’m not attracted to Irish or Asian women. I would never talk or listen to women like that- even less taking pool advice. I only let pretty women beat me in pool- if l’m not attracted l don’t let them win- hoping they will quit forever and leave u tube and stop talking about pool in general. Or maybe have those less pretty go on President Trump’s channel- l’m not attracted to him either and it would make sense for them to be there. Or at least get plastic surgery if they want to play pool.

[@frankblacks.45]

I agree and "2nd that emotion"! Seriously, you are exquisite to behold and listen to so, I am subscribing and shall be looking forward to your new vids and tips. I am finally taking a break from 60-70hour work weeks and getting back into MY beloved sport and game of strategy and coordination and focus, Billiards. Dusting off my 1987 Meucci Custom and hitting the felt! I will see you wonderful folks in the pool halls & game rooms of America while I revel in the "battle" and delight in the companionship. Godspeed!

[@elephantinrm]

I use her looks to stay focus. I know when I’m in the middle of a game I can become distracted. When I watch Jasmin, at the end of the video I know by what I retain is largely based on my attention. My goal is to always get use to the distraction. Once I do, Jasmines looks or a conversation in the background when I’m playing becomes less noticeable. There’s attractive people everywhere. The same can be said about annoying people. Use everyday distractions to train yourself to focus. Apply what you learn to work or play.

[@ceretomer5987]

Thanks. Nice instructional video. You should also cover how to hold your stick when one gets mad and throws their stick through the window.

[@gtube177]

Yes... That would be beneficial if you want to get maximum distance 😂😂

[@ceretomer5987]

@@gtube177 It happens. Just make sure it's not your own window.

[@fubufb420]

​@@ceretomer5987 or not YOUR favorite bar or local table... that would suck😂 "damn I got barred from, The bar again..."

[@garymurawski1476]

first of all, never let anyone hold your stick if they appear upset...for any reason. Just pull away, put it back in the case and...........use a house cue.

[@yes2crypto]

Great video and editing as usual. It was… a gripping video

[@preritdas6998]

Ha.

[@jann326]

Haha the editing was wonderful! Now that you mention it!

[@hawtee1619]

She is an absolute delight. Love watching you play Jasmine! 🎉❤

Hilarious! And very helpful! 😂Luv the outakes. Your sound is great now. Thanks for all the videos

[@timemanagementquotes9728]

I loved the confused part the most....and only a confident person can carry it with aplomb !! I have watched you play in India , bangalore....You were brilliant...Big fan of you and your game..!!

[@blazeandcyrus]

Enjoyable video and the sound is great. I love that you leave your little bloopers in the video

[@jasonjohnson5154]

Jasmin my wife and I love your video's. I have played off and on for 35 years but she has been playing for just over a year now. The WPBA was for the 3rd time in our home pool hall Iron City Billiards in Birmingham, Alabama. She listens to you much better than me! LOL! Hopefully you can make the trip in the future as the girls that come love the experience. Keep up the great work!

[@3ske01]

problem solved..definetely u hv talent in teaching

[@lyotomachida2478]

Iloveyou jasmine i love your videos and educating newbies 👍👍

[@badianoudis]

Hello from Athens Greece!! I play carom billiards a lot. I find your videos interesting and helpful.my average is around 20 which is very difficult but cueing straight is so difficult and i admire u who play pool which is easier game but your queing is so perfect!! I can make many points when balls are close but not from long distance table is 3,1metres.

[@lisahenderson8619]

That's funny. I have used that phrase..."hold it like a baby bird" so many times to help people. Now I have you confirming what I say! Keep on shooting

[@momo9594]

A like for you, a comment for the algorithm. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@barracuda976]

I enjoy your videos a lot. Your outtakes even more😂 Thanks from a guy who's playing long time ago but now is starting to learn the theory behind the game.

[@stevemiller1159]

Audio was fine, I've been sub'd since your channel started and hadn't noticed any audio issues. Thanks for your time and effort creating these video's, we can learn a lot from them ☺

[@darwinbernhart]

Hi Jasmine. Awhile ago I was told that a skeleton could make a shot if it were put on the shot and the arm held up at the elbow by a string. Cutting the string would release the string and the natural path of the arm would make the shot. Perfectly. Going further I learned that holding your hand at your sides, relaxed, without holding anything will tell you your natural skeletal position. Mine personally has the thumb turning a bit inward at the front. Now, hold the cue with that line in mind and this will be your natural shot line. Again, personally I had to turn my body slightly counter clockwise(left handed). Upon trying this technique my potting skills went up . A lot. Retraining my brain to get down on the shot at this angle is taking time, but it's working. Love your videos, Love watching you in competition. Keep up the great work.

[@stringlarson1247]

Heh. That just reminded me of a golf trainer who made a wooden 'skeleton' to demonstrate arm/writst movement and club head speed. It had a club in its 'hand' and he would be able to place a ball on the mat and bring the club head up and drop it with different arm/wrist angles. With all other body movements out of the equation, it drove home (sorrry, pun) the point as the proper technique would hit the ball about 5x further than various improper setups at the top of the swing.

[@amirnass]

Dear Jasmin, Just wanted to say tahnk you so much for your videos and who you are. We all love ❤ your channel, videos and you.

[@Poolology101]

This is one of the best videos I've seen! I will definitely be sending players to your channel for these great lessons!

[@SuperSpiderman1979]

If you aren't laughing by now.. you're not enjoying the content. Great video - love you sence of humor 😜 Thank you Jasmin - been sharing your videos with the group of league players that's new in the game. They found it Very useful

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

Helpful, thanks lady!

[@bigpoppapump620]

You could tell me what to do for 3 hours & my attention would He just as undivided as it was from the beginning. Might be the accent but I think your altruism is refreshingly transparent. You’re doing life right Jasmine. Your hair has been on fleek lately. Pony tails are the coolest accessory on women. I think men should be given a masculine version. lol Don’t ever change El Jeffe.

[@tweezy5923]

Your teleportation skills from gym to pool table 50 secs into the video superb 😂, but seriously tho thanks for this I'm trying to get more serious into billiards.💯

Thank you so much! The sound is so much better now!!

Wow Honestly Not only are you a skilled player but also a awesome teacher. You are by far the best teacher i have seen . Oh and i can't helloo but mention how gorgeous you are and i love that accent 🔥 . Keep up the good work.

[@CesarBonezzi]

Thanks so much for this nugget of gold. Keep up the excellent tutorial and work :)

[@Thomas_Geist]

I have noticed that many pro players, whether pool, tennis or golf, most often do not follow classical technique. A couple of guys are a really good model and they are, Gorst and Filler. I taught myself as a kid and I also would not recommend anyone to imitate my stroke either. The great thing about proper technique is to have a standard to fall back on if one's stroke is coming apart.

[@bobtebbs7766]

Love your videos.. make learning fun and you will learn,and you do it so well so thank you so much.

[@TheKcnoman111]

I came up with a saying years ago that helps me stay level. "Don't close your hand, let your hand close." I am talking about the stroke, of course, but grip pressure needs to be applied in the right area. Most people I watch close their fingers on the butt during follow through, lifting the cue. Allowing the fingers to wrap the cue to a stop on follow through keeps the cue level. I play with a wrist stroke.

[@klarakleyr]

Thank you jasmine for sharing the right way, i'm beginner here..

[@michalka3960]

One of the hardest thing is move your training game on toutnament table. Maybe some build presure drills on next video?😊

[@MusicMinded2024]

[@benjaminhrabina4194]

Raw footage. love it. Genuine

[@ngsaichin1]

I love watching your video Jasmin, it is always informative and useful. BTW, the diameter of the butt affects our grip a lot. Because we do have different hand sizes. Find yourself a suitable butt diameter cue. FYI, I asked one of my friends (who repairs cue) to reshape the butt (use a lathe of course) to order to suit my hand.

[@bradleymorgan2409]

Jasmin : you need a trophy case !

She is the case, men are her trophies

Okay, white elephant in the room; you are clearly stunning, intelligent, and amazing a pool. Now that is out of the way, thank you for your tutorials. I am currently in a hospital in Australia. If I win, all smack talk is in honor of you; if not I will blame it on my meds lol 😂😂Thanks again x

[@TreyJones-x4d]

Hey Jasmine. I’m a big fan of your game, and I was wondering if you could make a video about how to aim or shoot on tighter pockets. Huge fan of you and your brothers game. Thank You for your good tips.

Thank you Jasmin. Love the content

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Another great video! I’ve always held my cue too tightly. Watching this, I’m going to try loosening my grip a bit more. I try not to ever move my wrist..and I cannot jump lol..so it doesn’t matter. Maybe you can teach me how to jump. I’ll search for your video on that now. Thanks for the valuable lessons Jasmin! ❤

[@jeffreystricko7656]

Hi Jasmin , another great video. Thank you 😊

[@kollegedave]

Great video. I am interested to know your thoughts (hopefully in a new video) on how a player should regulate (or not regulate) their distance from the cue ball before dropping to address the cue ball. Is there a common / text book method for doing this?

[@salinator5966]

Thank you for your great explanations and demonstrations. Can you do a video on cue elevation. I was told before that it is always best for the stick to be as parallel as possible to the table surface.

[@fabiandejesusmacia3983]

Definitivamente tus videos son diferentes entretenidos y muy buenos. Pregunta que bola miras al momento de disparar bola blanca o bola objetivo

[@richardporter6519]

Jasmin, I have had the great pleasure of watching you and the other talented women of the WPBA/WPA this summer as you've played in tournaments here in Michigan this year. All of you are amazing and do so much for the sport in getting a young generation involved. While I was watching, aside from how you hold the cue and your stroke through the ball, I noticed the intense focus you ladies have. I also noticed that when the balls are not rolling right you can almost see how the focus shifts. Instead of watching the match and how the opponent is playing, You see eyes drift into the crowd and noticeably become distracted. (Made me realize why in the day there was a viewing room in most pool halls so there were fewer distractions but not as much interaction between average fans and players. I guess it's a trade-off.) My question is how as a professional and trainer do you teach focus and getting back into the zone? Drills build confidence. Stance, Stroke, and holding the cue build fundamentals. The mental game separates the league players from the tournament players (and a few beers LOL) Is there anything you can share about becoming a mental warrior? Thank you for again you do beyond just being a great athlete.

[@irv4681]

nice tips jasmine...

[@fubufb420]

Great tips. Stance and stroke are always the center of attention in most videos. Now I'll focus on my wrists more. Thanx Jasmin. Videos were fine... don't listen to them wanna be cinematographers and audio purists. It's a utube video on pool, no Oscar noms here.😂 if anything, now it sounds too "crisp".😂 Don't change for any1, Jasmin, You're awesome. If it makes YOU uncomfortable, BE comfortable. The purpose of the video right, Be comfortable. U seem uncomfortable in this video...😂😂 Keep up the Awesome Videos. And I'll keep watching. (And listening)😉

[@johnblixt4740]

Thank you for this channel! I would love to hear about how pros practice. It would help me understand and watch pro matches with more purpose. For instance, with 41/4” pockets, do the top players practice cheating the pocket? What about distance, are you always shooting for a particular portion of the pocket?

[@Salty80556]

Sound is good, as is the information........ thank you

[@garymurawski1476]

Yep, I didn't notice the difference. Maybe if she clipped it on the outer breast rather than in close to her breast bone? Could be some interference.

[@jann326]

I was wondering why she was in a weight room in the beginning of the video. Lol! But yeah everything in this video is facts and very important to your game. Jasmine definitely knows her stuff.

[@zelda1971]

Good video you seem like such a authentic sweetheart can't wait for the next one

[@nvpoolshooter]

Keith McCready and Alan Hopkins are my two favorite examples of non textbook.

[@roybusbar3121]

I have just realize how important a loose grip is in playing pool... increased wrist action, smoother stroke, a pendulum swing, better cue action and easier to draw the ball. It is gradually improving my game. I am working consistently on the elbow drop with my wrist action. I have already noticed a significant improvement in my game. I just need more time to get it where i am comfortable and relaxed.

[@Erich_U]

Lt. Columbo already said: "It's all in the wrist."

[@FXBilliards]

Another well done video Jasmin. Good job on the Mic. I noticed you were breaking with a Sport II - did you have a Revo shaft or a BK Rush shaft on the cue?

[@subdue8182]

[@valentenicoletti3622]

Sehr gutes Videos! .....wie immer

[@donniearmstrong8390]

I have been playing pool for almost thirty years and the one thing I always tell players especially new players is that trying to copy someone else is always a bad idea because of the way that they play everything from their warmup to practice strokes to how they address the ball is part of their game not yours it works for them because they have been playing that way for years what I always tell players is that you have to find what does and doesn't work for you and your game and also the balls roll funny for everyone from time to time so just because you may have a bad day every now and then don't let that discourage you from playing and learning the game

[@KeithBaker-x9g]

Jasmin great video. Where should the right hand be when holding the cue. Should the hand be located at the balance point or behind, giving the tip more weight. New to pool but want to get better. Thanks

[@riedkrutz968]

[@wauttz]

Shane aims with an elevated butt, but he drops the butt before he starts his back stroke which is fairly unique. His hand does not stay in the forward position during medium and high speed shots. He does use it in soft touch shots.

[@breadpitt970]

Hi Jasmin, do you use spot on the wall aiming? Maybe a video about it?

[@siromaris]

Is that the Green Predator glove that they have now or is that a new turquoise color. It doesn’t look like that on their site if it’s the same green they have advertised. Please let me know Jasmine
