I actually took lessons from Dave Rhoades and Tom Rossi. Tom told me to quit my day job and become a pro. That was 25 years ago lol. Hal Mix told my wife he would train her for free. Then he passed...RIP Hal you were one of the greatest. My wife and I are older now and just play for fun after raising a family. Interesting note: my wife beat Earl Strickland in an exhibition match of 8 ball. I taught her how to play. I have tremors and don't shoot too well anymore, but I won't stop playing. I appreciate your videos and will continue to watch them.

how to lessen the strain on your back when shooting, Brian thank you for all you do!

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

NAILED IT. Pool improvement is about paying attention and putting in reps. Not just learning theory. Love it.

[@caleblawrence3240]

One of the best pool coaches around. Listen to this guy.

[@FXBilliards]

Your views mean a lot to me. Thanks for your comments

[@joecanon5527]

This drill did get me frustrated and made my confidence go to crap. But I finally realized, just like you said, I didn't have the shot down and wasn't in full control of the cue ball. Went back to basics and now run this drill successfully 4 out of five times. I love your channel and have been playing for a long time. Got my own table about 6 months ago (finally) and your videos alone have improved my game greatly. You the man!

[@kpayne2911]

About a year ago returned to playing once a week after a 50 year layoff. Have been watching you for about a year and just want to thank you for sharing your knowledge of this game. Great lessons.

[@trevorsmith3947]

Excellent video B. I been watching you for about 4 years and have learned so much from you and thank you for finding time for these videos

[@FXBilliards]

I appreciate that!

[@meatmaster8636]

I've seen that drill with all the balls on the rails. It's actually a game from Mexico where my wife is from. I love your videos. They are very informative, and I appreciate you. Thank you for all you do to help us play better.

[@rossbideon]

I went from a APA 3 to 7 in one year and I’m still getting better. Most of what I know came from your channel. Thanks Bryan. 👍🎱

[@FXBilliards]

Great job! That’s amazing to hear. I’m glad I could help you with your game

[@kennethalbertson40]

I've been playin league since October, I'm a 3 an I've ran this drill unknown time's and good at it now from practice practice and more practicing. Love your videos. Now I'm gonna practice the placement after the shot with the English. Thank you again.

[@Harley.Davidson]

Looooooog rail shots are my Achilles heel! My father was brutal with billiard and snooker shots! We had a table in the basement. So I got schooled almost daily! 😂 2 blocks from Cushion & Cue in Livonia Michigan. Good times!

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for sharing

[@Harley.Davidson]

@@FXBilliards Keep doing what your doin' Brian!

[@mengshun]

Solid tesching and PRACTICAL advice. Game play is not a drill. And kudos about drills not being a test. That's also practical advice for anything one learns. You got a new subscriber!

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you - I appreciate your comments and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and subscribe

[@thegodofpez]

This was a rail-ly good tutorial, B! Cheers and thank you, brutha. 🫡🍻

[@FXBilliards]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@balle4evr]

I love this shot thanks to you, ill take it any day! love the drill with a ball on each diamond, always apart of my drills and the ACID test.

[@exhainca]

I love the jab at that bore Dr Billiards. Peace sign my ring.

[@CFCseventy]

Love your stuff Brian very simple you love playing and no bs

[@JesseGray12]

I have improved so much since i found this channel

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Another great video. I always struggle with rail shots. Maybe 50% of the time I make them. I’m going to practice these shots much more.

[@FXBilliards]

Let me know if I can help in any way

[@jamesgrannon2836]

When i do rail shots even with no English i dunk em most of the time. This vid is reall helpful.

[@larsmorabe4718]

Everytime I haven't played for weeks, I just come back to this channel to get back in the game 😂

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you very much for your comments. We appreciate you watching.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

GOOD stuff as always, Bryan. Cheers!

[@FXBilliards]

Much appreciated!

[@keithdavies52]

Thanks again, I have to push back, though, I'm not a decent player😊. Today showed how inconsistent I am. Run, miss, and then just bad. Few games later, good again. I did win a fair bit, but sometimes I was awful. I do love that challenge, though.

[@FXBilliards]

You got this! Keep putting in work

Brian knows best folks. Free gold. Pure gold!

[@eschaef71]

I have the same chance of making the draw shot at 8:48 as I do of sprouting wings and flying. Bri is amazing. I will def practice all these though. Cheers

[@bdudley2991]

Good stuff as always… new lighting? Very cool.

[@FXBilliards]

[@ODUB2]

Thanks again Coach. My game has improved 10 fold over the last 5 years off your Videos. Play on. 🎱

[@FXBilliards]

Keep it up

[@joseph9210]

Great video once again sir, may I ask what state in the USA are u from ? New York? If so what borough ?

[@FXBilliards]

I moved between Delaware and Pennsylvania homes. I do lessons in Montgomery County Pennsylvania.

[@joseph9210]

@@FXBilliards ever in Brooklyn ny? In the past ???? Or never been in Brooklyn

[@FXBilliards]

I have been to Brooklyn a number of times. I do get to the city now and then and hope to do some pool stuff there this year.

[@PoolSkills]

Brian when you have a up the rail shot when you have to pass the side pocket and your only thing is making the ball not position should you put a touch of inside English using center ball to make it hug the rail and go straight up the rail?

[@FXBilliards]

Given that situation, I would avoid using any English if possible. The shot is difficulty enough.

[@PoolSkills]

Brian it is a very difficult shot whether is a 30 or 70 degree cut I don’t remember where I saw the thought there. I know it is very small amount of inside maybe less than 1/2 tip. I like center as much as possible.

[@BangTimePool]

the young players have no idea what deflection means--it should be a rule that they need to use an old shaft before going to carbon fiber!!LOL

[@FXBilliards]

Excellent point big guy

[@zanethind]

Fair yeah

[@moshb9898]

Didn't know Denzel Washington was so good at playing pool. 😮

[@FXBilliards]

And Bryan Mitchell is a pretty good actor

[@MrDennisPerry222]

what is helping english and does it change?

[@FXBilliards]

Helping English means cue balll is spinning opposite its direction around the table. It’s spinning counter clockwise while it moves clockwise around the table.
