Improve your STROKE with only 4 exercises

[@physicsguybrian]

Jasmin, I could listen to you for hours! Your knowledge is immense and your way of presenting is refreshing! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and passion!

[@rjrotermund]

and she's easy to look at!

[@physicsguybrian]

@@rjrotermund I think stunning is what you were going for there but that is entirely beside the point. She is intelligent and knows a metric-ton about pool and is sharing that with all of us while asking nothing in return. That is a beautiful thing in, and of, itself!

[@user-jd1mq8gg7e]

i know! and i dont event play pool

[@stevenspencer8143]

Jasmin, congratulations on being the 2023 WPBA Masters champion! The August BD article on your win was great. How you deal with a loss by turning it into a positive is a lesson to all competitors. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and humanity with us.

[@michaelross5376]

When I took lessons the instructor had me play with no stroking. Definitely improves your game

[@sonicmultani]

Your cue action is like old-school billiards. As a junior, my elders always taught me to follow-through on every shot and I do the same with Snooker as well. Its refreshing to see someone doing the same. Thank You for the awesome video.

[@dannykeoe7970]

Tips i haven't seen anywhere else. Solid stuff, because u never know what tip you'll really relate to, and feel so comfortable with.

[@stringlarson1247]

I love these. Clear, concise, etc. I was fortunate to watch Jeanette Lee practicing at a pool hall near my office in the early 90s. I picked up some of these drills from watching her and her coach. I love going to the local pool hall alone and working on stuff like this for an hour or so. A coach would be great, but can't afford it. Often, when I go during the day, I'll have some older geezer(s) notice what I'm doing and will offer helpful feedback on mechanics, etc. Ears open mouth shut is the way I learn no matter the subject.

[@glockasauruswrex6362]

Perfect timing 👌. I'm struggling with my stroke consistency n was looking for drills to work on that, so thank you! Love your videos, Jasmin.

[@colettekruse6420]

Hi, Your video's are sooo good. At the 2:50 second mark on this video, can you put a link to that stroke tool that you have on the table?

[@jbpowell95]

I've been searching for this too...no luck

[@moolacue]

​@jbpowell95 it's found at dynamic billiards.

[@mikethebeginner]

After watching your follow-through video, my mechanics improved RADICALLY. I typically use the pool table to get up from the computer, otherwise I will sit at the computer for hours on end. I go to the table, throw the balls out, and knock them down. I have been trying to teach myself position play for about a year now, and making slow improvement. It used to be, I seldom sank all fifteen balls without a miss. I could get to 13 pretty regularly, but I would leave the hard balls till last and end up chasing the last three balls around the table. Well you know what? After concentrating on follow-through for several weeks, the other day I sunk all 15 balls THREE TIMES IN A ROW. 45 balls without a miss! I was amazed. I could never have done it without you. So I am going to watch this video very carefully and do the drills you suggest. You are my best teacher now.

[@AngelGarcia-su6hw]

I Love the way you explain things,beautiful sense of humor❤

[@dan3knight]

Best training video ever

[@donaldmckinney2862]

Thank you, love your teaching style

[@dixiedynamite18]

Thank you for continuing to put out this type of content it helps seeing these type of drills from a female perspective. Congrats on your WPBA victory recently and I think Soaring Eagle could definitely be a good nickname for you. Prost!

[@jekpapa]

Just getting back in after 30 years. Just what I needed. Thank you.

[@The23mz]

Terima kasih.

[@alexmills3119]

Thank you for these exercises. One thing that has really helped me (because i tend to put right spin on the cue ball) is pausing on my back stroke.

[@UCHTT]

I've been trying to get unintentional right side out of my stroke for months now and it's still proving tricky despite improvement. Pausing has definitely helped but I still miss my cue tip when playing down the spots more than half the time (improvement from all the time 😂👍🏾)

[@SneakyThew]

⁠@@UCHTTJeeeeez me too! I’m trying to figure out why i’m doing it. it’s always right! i’m striking across the cue ball.. killer to my confidence

[@brianjameson3360]

The grip causes that more than anything

[@Teelo99]

I could listen to you talk all day! Love your content as always! Coincidence, I tried the no-chalk for the first time testing out a new shaft today before watching your video and you're right! What are the odds you covered this topic today.. Amazing timing!

[@racerguy500]

I love your instruction. You teach so well and so simple. You are incredibly talented to play pool as you do and to teach as you do. Thank you so much for everything you do. I could watch, learn and listen to you all day. I never dreamed of having my pool mentor being so beautiful.

[@ZIMsar10]

Thanks for all your awesome videos, Jasmin, I really appreciate the time & effort you put into them.

[@luke_atthat]

Thank you for those great exercices ! I did build a small trainer like the one you used at 3:09. Esay to make with a piece of plastic from a plastic container, and with a nice double line to see the deviation of our cue. Also I put a target at the end to touch in the center. You could also make a tunnel with the center of a towel roll, and go through the tunnel without touching the sides! Any way just watching carefully is the beginning! Thank you very much again for all the great video you make and share !

[@bobwardair]

Excellent suggestions! Your successes in tournaments are proof that these drills are beneficial!

[@juansosa644]

Vety nice video! I love your video formats. This one is very useful and you are right, it's one of the most important parts of the game. Thanks for the drill ideas.

[@juansosa644]

Can you please give me the link or info to buy the tool you used to practice? The one with the plastic transparent cue ball?

[@tonycrawford8934]

Great video! What was the training aid you were using? I would be interested in picking 1 up.

[@kellys1542]

Wanted to follow-up on this same ask. Any updates?

[@johns6426]

Very nice tutorial and now I’m in love

[@gr8momba]

You make full table draws look easy. I've been playing for 20yrs and just got my table draw.

[@dolittle6781]

Awesome! This is such a "humane approach" to teaching in which the instructor teaches techniques with just the right amount of humor. As a result, students can make fun of themselves while still improving their skills. Can't wait to try these exercises.

[@tompancsofar2768]

Thank you Jasmin... you are right on "cue" as usual :D

[@lafaelerobertson599]

Great video

[@leemi4328]

I am guilty of this. Thank you for this video Jasmin. Can't wait to try these drills😊

[@SlimRhyno]

Jasmin, your triceps are amazing! Seriously, I was watching this expecting to learn great lessons, but the "gun show" was an impressive bonus 😁

[@maxhung69]

thank you for the great video. I'm 55 and just started playing pool seriously. your tips are extremely helpful

[@crisv9343]

Thank you so much for always including modifications. Those have made my practice so much less frustrating, aka I practice longer. Makes a huge difference.

[@udokaschek9407]

Hallo Jasmin. Danke für dein tolles Video. Diese Drills sind hart, aber wie Du sagtest, zahlen sie sich letztendlich aus. Danke, dass Du auch deine „Misserfolge“ zeigst, das macht es menschlicher ;) Allzeit Gut Stoß, Udo

[@jbpowell95]

Great video! Where can I find that stroke training mat?

[@titzibitzi1103]

Again a very nice exercise from a very smart Girl. Thank You!

Thank You Jasmin!...straight in pots are the hardest!

[@ericcroft4873]

Hi Jasmin...thanks for help us..I follow you because you are Natural..I mean verry nice and simple person ...thanks for your tips ❤

[@zman5970]

I get excited watching your video..such a fun person and informative. I can run across a video 3 am and have to get up and try it! Thank you !

[@brendankaipa]

Great presentation skills

[@chrisblair2121]

awesome drills and congratulations on your wpba win recently. Cheers from Toronto

[@400fps]

it's refreshing hearing a Pro mention practicing with no chalk. I've been doing that for a few years now and even go as far as to fully play for around a week with no chalk.

[@OscarGonzalez-vg3cp]

Thanks, I will practice these drills. Good video .

[@Eljefe003]

Thank you Jasmine. Always look forward to your videos.

[@StevenSmith-x2t]

Absolutely beautiful stroke

[@darrenhadden1037]

What a great training aid! Brilliant! I have a habit of hitting a trace of right side english because my right eye is weak and cant be corrected. So these training aids and routines are so helpful.

[@JeffOlson-q5x]

Thankyou Jasmin for your training videos. I watch most of your games on KZbin as well. Apart from pool however, I think you should be a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Not only are you an outstanding pool player but, the most beautiful player I've seen.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Hi Jasmin, i did the MUGHTY X fallow Drill for 45 mins strait, i got one fallow shot!😮 this really shows ANY ERRORS in pool stroke. now that i know just how hard this drill is i know why you got the huge fist pump on your successful draw shot 😁

[@andrew_owens7680]

I didn't know who this was when I clicked on the vid. Half of the cutest couple in billiards! Subscribed.

[@NK-wg8iy]

Saw your program first time and have subscribed it too. Thanks for this very nice and informative presentation.

[@agumaedson1728]

My day maker 👊 Thank you so much

[@anthonysheridan8057]

Those drills are excellent. Thank you

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Jasmin, you’re a great teacher! I just found you on KZbin, I had no idea you had a channel. I met you years ago here in south Florida (2012 I believe) at the Hard Rock for a WPBA event. You’re just as beautiful, sweet and real in person as you are on TV. I’m always trying to up my game, so I’ll be watching all of your videos and try to soak up all the knowledge I can from you! Can I ask, what brand of cue do you play with? I’m always curious what the pros play with. Thank you, Jasmin! Your #1 fan. ❤️❤️❤️

[@stevenspencer8143]

Great advice! Particularly like the Super X drill and aim and shoot minus the warm up stroke; both help immensely straightening cue delivery. On the side pocket drill I've been closing my eyes on delivery. That has been a real "eye opener" on how off my contact was compared to the intended impact point.

[@sujonmiya6093]

Your teaching is very beautiful

Easy to do self.

Would love to see a break video popping the cueball for 8/10 ball

[@donkeydiehard879]

​@@traviswilson4752Dr Dave has a slow mo version of SVB doing a pop break.

[@onsam]

@@hanspwcan you please explain how would you make it yourself. I guess I can make the base template, with a simple drawing. But how would you make the popping back Mechanisms.

[@rodneycasillas6400]

Thank you for the video. I’ve noticed since I started paying more attention to having a straighter stroke I’ve been pocketing more balls.

[@victorc.l2786]

Maravillosa enseñanza, lo compartiré con amigos con los que juego 3C carom Gracias Jasmin, la sigo desde ahora que apenas conozco su canal

[@koa2341]

I’ve watched a couple of your matches and have a couple ideas for you. Suggest you slow down your practice strokes on tight, short or delicate shots. Never a good idea to go fast fast slow…It causes deceleration which is never good (golf). On those same shots, maybe cut your nails to give you more feel on elevated cue ? Love watching you.

[@thetowndrunk988]

You’re giving suggestions to one of the best female pool players in the world? LOL. Would you give tips to Stephen Curry on shooting a basketball? Tips to Mahomes on getting a tighter spiral on his football throws? 😂😂😂😂

[@greeneyeddevil1]

Great tips Jasmin. Thanks

[@pauls064]

Mighty X is from Bert Kinister…. The original pool master instructor since the 70’s. Niels Feijen mentor…

[@مصطفىبحري-ب3غ]

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I found everything on your channel

[@traci0368]

Love your videos. So helpful. What was that stroke trainer aid you had on the table?

[@thomascarter6635]

Yes, what is that green trainer that's on the table?

[@timmahar4205]

Thanks for the great videos! Where can I get the stroke training gadget you use in first exercise?

[@luisemilioogando]

Great one. I have that problem, sometime when I hit the cue ball, I turn to my left side I will practice to get better straight stroke then I will improve my draw shot which is the one I'm having problems with.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Really good video and drills. I find the more I work REGULARLY on my stroke - the more I win. Amazing how that works huh. LOL. The Might X, if you are performing it right, is a tough drill. Absolutely no movement after the cue hits the target ball, shot after shot, is not easy, and the Mighty X drawing back into the corner is brutal tough for me. The drill where you get down on the shot and don't do any fine tuning strokes is one I have used for years and also one that Max Eberle (I think that is his last name) promotes. It identifies alignment issues and stroke issues really fast. The stroke drill, by the rail, is one that I was taught years ago and damn near had a nervous breakdown when in Makati, Manila and Efren Reyes is watching me perform it for about an hour. Doesn't say a word to me, just watches. I almost lost my mind.

[@riazmoosa8320]

At last simple explanations... love this channel

[@richardweihert6233]

hello, I liked the training aid that had a fold down "ball" could you share where one might find one?

[@reecelewis6377]

Thank you for the video and yes I just find it so hard to keep my stork straight but like you said practice makes perfect so I will keep at it

[@TimothyElonBounya]

Another good at home training aid to improve your stroke is to use an empty coke bottle or water bottle as a cheap quick alternative. Lay it flat on the table or if you don’t have a pool table at home use a kitchen table or any flat surface. Practice stroking into the the hole of the empty bottle without touching the sides, as you get better try to go faster and deeper into the bottle lol innuendo intended

[@patty4568]

Thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try these drills out. What is that plastic /aiming practice thingamajigy you used at the beginning called? I would really love to buy one to practice with.

[@sharky_spike]

jasmine I have the best drill to practise a str8 stroke....take 2 striped balls placing 1 in the exact center of the table & the other in front of a corner pocket closest 2u...turn the stripes on the balls perfectly vertical so from the shot line they appear to run up & down thru the middle of the balls so ANY sideways rotation is immediately spotted...play the follow shot into the same pocket or the draw shot like u did, but the object is that NO movement of the vertical stripes is seen of either ball...both balls must appear to hold their perfectly vertical stripe positions until they go into the pockets...this drill requires a perfectly centered cue tip strike on the cue ball to avoid unwanted throw of the object ball....this drill will give anyone endless challenges for consistency

[@SC-g2b]

Im from the uk and play snooker and practice a lot. One practice I do occasionally is to place a ball on the table about medium length line up the shot and close both eyes and pot the ball 🎱 if your technique is solid and you sighted the correct line, you should get the pot eventually good luck.

[@markdfoster6928]

JASMIN, the tape is a great tool a d works well.

Thanks Jasmin!!! Great tips

[@henrykabwata3087]

Thanks for your guidance

[@lencac7952]

Hi Jasmine. If you ever make it to Medford Or. I'd be real interested to see you play on our table 6 at Rack Em. We just call it the devil table. The cloth and the balls have been very well used with 4.25" pockets. I think very much different than playing on new cloth and new balls.

[@joebird2744]

Awesome video can't wait to practice those drills

[@muhammadshahzaib2270]

Your tips are really valuable, Kindly create a video for cue action and grip. That video should cover both games pool and snooker.
