Alex Higgins the Irish snooker champions had all the flaws and his head used to move all over the place. But everything just seemed to come perfectly together at the precise moment he made contact with the ball. Plus Alex was always drunk. So what Brian is saying makes sense. Doesn't matter if your head moves or your elbow drops as long they don't at that precise moment.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

[@rondo1775]

A clean cue ball makes a huge difference as well.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks, thanks for watching

[@fixitrod4969]

Every single point is dead on! When I switched to a closed bridge for breaks and draw shots it was an instant improvement. Another great video, Bryan. Thank you!

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for sharing as always.

[@trevorsmith3947]

Great video B. We love that you put out this kind of content for us. And I wanna mention that you are highly skilled to but rolling the balls down table by hand and pocketing them and that one shot where you made the 4 ball with the que ball by throwing it with your hand VERY IMPRESSIVE!

[@timtest5845]

Trevor that is cool....Earl Strickland has a vid on 10ft tight table does it a whole rack. This fella is great at teaching.

[@FXBilliards]

The funny thing is, I did it on a first try but missed it a dozen times when I tried to repeat it.

[@thegodofpez]

Love the flex shots at the end. 😂 You’re the best, B. 🤟

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you very much as always. I appreciate your stopping by and check this out. Have a great weekend.

[@vcoolpool]

Good stuff B and a lot of laughs. Thanks,

[@FXBilliards]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Woollybugger311]

I was never a glove player, thus year a gave it a try. It's made my stroke more consistent for sure! No more clammy hand skid on the stick...

[@Jared45513]

Man I just recently got a table and found your channel... as soon as i started implementing the first lessons i found of yours my game instantly improved a lot! You are an excellent teacher and even just watching you play with no audio gives me help, you are surprisingly consistent. I especially love it when you tear apart my(and all other amateurs) game and bad habbits... i laugh and go "yeah i do that" lol, but those stick with a student.. "somthing special is about to happen" LOL.

[@FXBilliards]

Welcome aboard! Have a great day and thanks for watching

[@davidsargeant3705]

Loved the comment about Efren and the five dollar cue ! Good video lots of information, appreciated !

[@FXBilliards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kpayne2911]

Another great lesson.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks again!

[@billmankin6204]

When I first bought my first Revo shaft, I had a problem with sliding with the stock tip (was in a hurry and didn't have time to have it factory swapped.) Not blaming the equipment, it just didn't fit my style, which is a more finessed stroke, especially in 8 ball. Swapped the tip for my usual Kamui Black Soft, and the problem went away. But it showed a problem that I needed to address - my stroke on those shots was not compact and deliberate enough. Helped my game even after going back to what I was used to and drilled in on. Great stuff and thanks as always for the advice!

[@elizium5014]

been waiting for an upload! thank you for all the info!

[@FXBilliards]

You bet!

[@Blinkerson55]

You have improved my game immensely Brian. ❤ Especially kicking!

[@FXBilliards]

Glad to hear it!

[@michaelmccullar2982]

Thank you Brian as always

[@FXBilliards]

Very welcome

[@stevemiller1159]

Thanks Bryan, fundamentals are everything to our pool game, working hard every day to have a consistent and repeatable stroke. See you next time.

[@FXBilliards]

Thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment

[@caseymccoy2692]

Thank you Brian,,,,,,,

[@FXBilliards]

You got it Casey

[@jaymcclure8185]

You mentioned equipment. I love that. I recently bought a new breaking cue....for $10 (USD) brand new. Not used, New. I put a Cuesol SS tip on it and last week had three 8 ball breaks in five racks. What does this have to do with this video you may be asking. Well, the original tip on this cue was trash, I speant three days trying to break it off the cue. My break is a simple second ball power draw. During those three days I was sending the cueball off the table and into different rooms. The ball would hit the rack and then leave the chat. Obviously, what was happening was miscues, not drastic miscue where its jumping off the tip, but miscue none the less. This was down to that tip. That tip had absolutely no shape retention. I'd shape it up and after three breaks it would have three flat spots...well, angled spots, kinda like a poorly cut jewl. Once that tip came off, the problem went away and I get call all manor of fun names for sinking 8-balls on the break with a cue thats below bottom shelf 😅. This same cue is available on Amazon for $12 (USD) +SH if anyone is curious, but I highly recommend changing the tip though.

[@Robert-ln7yt]

Great video 🎉 Always helpful 🙂 Thanks

[@FXBilliards]

Happy to help!

[@randallgibson8619]

A level cue also means the world of difference, if you’re jacked up it’s going to cause some major issues.

[@jimmyflyhookem2758]

Another great video. I scooped the ball twice last night and it was all on me.

[@FXBilliards]

I hope this video will help you. Thanks for watching.

[@bdebusk5913]

Every single time I miscue on a draw shot is I clench my back hand and make the tip drop to the felt. EVERY SINGLE TIME 😂 The wonderful chaulk mark on the felt tells me exactly where my tip hit.

[@rharrington828]

Each person must experiment with many different styles of stance, stroke, sticks ect to find what works best for them...Pool players comes in all kind of shapes and sizes..Write down a list of things that help you..that lis will change as you improve..

[@Jordan_Torres]

I’m an Apa 7 in 8 ball, 7 in 9 ball, I play great on a valley, but once I get on a diamond I rattle a lot of shots, any drills or tips to strengthen my stroke or accuracy? I’ve been playing about a year

[@FXBilliards]

The X drill is the best. Also called mighty X - I show it in my “how to make drills fun” video.

[@zanethind]

My friend told me I lift up a bit which is why I can't power draw and I need a better stroke because of the chicken wing and I'm not aiming at the right point but my bridge hand position is too close too. And sometimes I might be holding my cue too hard even when I'm not noticing

[@FXBilliards]

Proper instruction, should be able to fix your DrawShot in less than 10 minutes. But you need a few hundred reps to get it locked in and consistent.

[@mjg1185]

What is that film thing on your shelf in the top left section of the screen? The aluminum colored thing with two reels of film on it.

[@FXBilliards]

That is a reel to, real tape deck. You must be pretty young if you’ve never seen one of those before.

[@mjg1185]

@@FXBilliards young is relative I guess, I turn 39 this year. Thanks for the answer, and your vids.

[@Analog784]

What Cue, Shaft and Tip combo would you recommend for beginner to intermediate players? not trying to enter competitions just want to be a better player.

[@FXBilliards]

If predator cues are outside of your price range( 700 and up) look for a Players brand cue - they’re under $250 and many cases.

[@GabrielTagaan]

Sup bro, big problem, i just bought a new que stick and Chalk and my tip is there, my tip got cracked after breaking and i often miscue when doing frozen rail shots and top spin english's. We don't have someone to fix it.

[@FXBilliards]

I Started sending my cues off to the manufacturer to replace tips because I don’t trust anyone to do it at a high-level anymore. Send it to them via UPS. They probably have something on their website that explains what you should do.

[@ernestodelao1601]

Sum scrub on the side says chalk is free!😂

[@johnindelicato2714]

Does the diameter of your tip make a difference in contacting the cue on the correct spot you're aiming at?

[@FXBilliards]

It’s pretty minor - your stroke has 10 times more importance than the tip diameter. .

[@ampl1fy3r1]

I did like that😂

[@jackslover107]

How much does new cloth affect cue ball response as in draw shots?

[@FXBilliards]

Not necessarily new, but quality cloth probably affects it by 15 to 20%

[@brianmack6285]

Re:Closed vs open bridge. I used to shoot open always back "in the day". And back then I'd pot very well. Forward some decades and trying to get back into the game, I'm forced to use a closed bridge to aid my wonky stroke. On those days when my stroke is *on* I can sense it. I miss almost no shots. And I use an open bridge. So I disagree, a closed bridge can be a cover-up on a bad stroke. A good stroke doesn't need a closed bridge. But maybe until I get, if ever, back to my happy stroke I need a closed bridge as a band-aid. Perhaps the goal is to train out of that dependency. Or maybe live with it?

[@FXBilliards]

It’s best to experiment and you will probably change again over the years. I use a combination of both, but use an open bridge more today than I did just two years ago.

[@navineomondi5198]

The moment you recognised the GOAT(Efren) I picked up full interest in watching the video.

[@FXBilliards]

Long live Efren

[@Peytonthepoolhustler]

What size Revo do you use

[@FXBilliards]

12.9

[@Peytonthepoolhustler]

Thanks I’ve been looking at a 12.4

[@navineomondi5198]

In my game, i miss very easy shots every time i play for cue ball positioning. What should i do to change this ?

[@FXBilliards]

You will need to do drills and get in as many reps as you can. The best players have literally thousands of hours more practice than even good intermediate players. The only shortcuts are lessons, drills and practice

[@zanethind]

You're not wrong a good stroke is the key to not miscue but some chalks are better than others and personally yes closed bridge is more sturdy but personally I don't really think the bridge matters and open bridge does have a lot of advantages. And you do need a longer bridge for the power draw to follow through more

[@FXBilliards]

More people miscue and failed to draw the ball as a result of a long bridge, then almost any other reason. A long bridge does not help you with power if you’re not hitting the cue ball in the proper spot. This is one of the reasons low level players can’t control the ball and also one of the reasons they miscue- they’re trying to emulate the long bridge of people who have good strokes I’ve improved literally hundreds of DrawShot simply by shortening the players, bride. It’s one of those misnomers they keep getting repeated and hurting low intermediate players.

[@867star]

Also helps to keep the cue level. ....You probably already knew that.

[@FXBilliards]

Thanks for watching

[@rodconner9079]

Cue balls are pretty slick, jus sayin'!!! You hit it too low, you scooped it! No I didn't! It's obvious you did! Really? Ya think? .... Naw -- can't be me! : ) Be Safe

[@FXBilliards]

I appreciate you taking the time to tune in.

[@Blinkerson55]

Keep pool cue level

[@Kenji917]

i bet it was hard to intentionally miscue lol

[@FXBilliards]

It was!
