Beginner Guide - Quick & Easy

[@jimbojimjs]

This is the best video on stance I have ever seen. So detailed and granular. I hate those videos that just say "walk your front leg 45 degrees out and bend down" there is so much more than that to know.

[@john_vin]

Your opening comedy had me dead 😅😂😂. You're the queen of exaggeration hahaha

[@arlenemand5115]

Yes 😂 for sure… and I also had some laughs along the way thru the rest of the video. Great video

[@murahk123]

Your funniest video yet. Great video. I love the extra wide stance far away from the table with both feet parallel. Hilarious.

[@ericstewart3175]

This is one of the best videos, on the essential basics that I've seen. Without a doubt! I've taken pool lessons and all of this was covered but @ Jasmin Ouschan, yours is the best. Thank you for taking the time to teach.

[@leomontoya3733]

I Admire the hell out of you!!! Absolutely Love your sense of humor and Confidence in Advice 👏🏼🥰 When we met up in Vegas and you took the time to hang out with me discussing reforming stroke, I had the most positive day after, which never happens. You're energy is Amazing, Thank You for being a Light in my dark world. Much Love stay safe, God Bless Always 🙏🏼😇🩵

[@ducdinh8404]

I just can't express enough how helpful this one is for a beginner player like me. My friend taught me the text book version of the stance, bridge, etc. But lots of questions (in most case, the "why") just keep popping up as I shoot more and try to help other beginner players like myself (but with no one to teach). I guess in the end, the truly "wrong" stance is the one that make you feel (1) uncomfortable over a long session of shooting and (2) if you feel unstable when you shoot. Really appreciate this one Jasmine, as it touched and analyzed areas that may be considered dumb or natural by long term players! ❤

[@FlacoSalsero]

This is probably the most real pool video I have seen yet. The mental part of the game is just as important to develop as the technical part of the game, especially when you aren't playing your best game. Thanks for this video. Lot's of wisdom within it. From Seattle, APA SL4.

[@isme4267]

Jasmin Ouschan the best!

[@HillbillyIslandLife]

Hip and back pain.........If your over 50, get used to it and keep on shooting! Great video!!

[@BlakesPipes]

this hillbilly's message is backed by a physical therapist. its part of life.

[@truss6282]

Yep. Stretch and maintain an exercise routine no matter your age and keep on playing. look at Bata he’s still terrorizing young players every day. He’s about 70. Billiards it’s my retirement plan.

[@jamesdavis8731]

Excellent video! This video addresses one issue I had a really hard time with and that was the distance from the table. What Jasmin showed here, with the hand holding the cue, the hand next to the hip, and the tip very close to the cue ball is exactly how I figured out how to get my distance correctly. And it has made a huge difference in my pocketing. I wish I had seen this video years ago.

[@LinG-TheEaglesNestSA]

Great video! Thank you Jasmin!

[@richardparker7168]

Amazing advice from an amazing girl!

[@TruTrinity]

I love your creativity in videos! You’re highly appreciated Jasmine. ❤ from Australia

[@s2w-providingtechnologyand876]

Your videos are excellent and I love your manor and style, so real life and approachable for us non-pros. Cheers!

[@terrythomas4407]

Your videos are educational of course but they are also funny and creative. Writing on the clock glass was a creative smile. The under hand bridges were hilarious. Great video!

[@arlenemand5115]

Loved this video. Aside from learning I also LOL at some of the “don’t/not good” positions you showed 😅. Learning can be fun. Thanks

[@meghanwright6775]

Your videos are the best! I have a male coach (thinking I need switch to a female coach) and he expects me to do things his way from stance to how he perceives running a rack. You covered exactly what i told him about my comfort level with stance. Thanks for being a bright light for all women who truly love this sport. ❤

[@robertloveless4938]

Played decent pool until back problems. Problems gone, went back to pool and tucked. Didn't realize until this video my problems were in the positioning of my feet. This helped my consistency. Thanks.

[@BlakesPipes]

great video for posture and base of support during upper extremity activity during pool. i think you could add a stretching video that you might do before a match. upper extremity and lower, just an idea. for me, i have a sheet of paper on the wall in my bedroom and i write stuff down for future videos. i have three years worth of videos. but if i run out of ideas, i will go to the wall paper! 🙃 still enjoy the style of editing and great instruction. like the voice over. doing well Jasmin. i remember when you had 4 or 5 K subs. nice job

[@olavodias]

Love your videos. You are an amazing player, an excellent instructor, and you are also super funny. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

My new coach! lol. I love your facial expressions! So funny and cute! This is a very informative video! I’ve been playing about 45 years and I have more of a snooker stance, although I don’t play snooker lol. It just works for me. One thing I just cannot do though is rest my chin n that cue..or get extremely close to it like you and most pros do. I’m 5’10” and I’m 58 now, and it absolutely KILLS my neck to try shooting this way. I know it’s correct, but I still try and get down as close to the cue as I can. If I shoot all night while trying to rest my chin on the cue, by the end of the night I have a migraine. Not good! I will try your stance, I really like it, and see if it works for me! Great video, Jasmin! ❤️

[@robertgivensjr5282]

Watching your videos I went from winning 2 and losing 8 in the apa 3 sessions ago to winning 6 out of 9 and so far this session winning 7 out of 10 and still have 1 more match and then the playoffs thank you for posting videos they help

[@kaysterling2560]

Thank you for an easy to follow, to the point yet in depth look at stance. I have realized my stance after I transitioned has needed to change not to hit my body and this helps me to find my new stance. Distance, alignment and where especially helpful for this adjustment and I love you approach routine simplified. I still have a question in the anchor foot is inline with the aim line and getting my elbow, hand and wrist in that same line seems as I'd have to move that slightly outside without having to shift my hips out of the way Thank you for your time and care for helping players understand how to improve!

[@NewbergUSA]

The broken glass messages = artful! I smiled and enjoyed that creative ... you....

[@JasonSnailer]

Thank u for these instructional videos and the hiking ones. I love both activities. And btw your new Predator Cue case is very nice

[@mohammadfaysalhaque981]

I am kind of loving ur videos...thnx

[@johnhayes6414]

Thanks for going over what works best for you. My stance everything in fact is off when I just started playing after not playing in 10 or 12 years. Frustrating

[@thisisdats7388]

Your advices worked so much. And I copied your "long follow thru" shot, it worked too. I think I can beat you using your style! Hahaha. Thanks, Jasmine. Great video!!

[@shortydancer]

You have the best videos Jasmine!

[@silvercue9625]

Love your teaching style.

[@johns.9932]

Nicely done Jasmin. Liebe dein Videos.

[@SarahShootsPool]

The big eye look at 9:50 is my favorite! I might have to try that one out at pool league! 😂 👀

[@sepheschoenfeld-tm3bw]

I love that you used the pieces of your broken clock face to create a table of contents for the vid!!! So wabisabi kintsugi.

[@carlkinsmanchannel]

Great vid. The important basics. I also do Jeet Kune Do martial arts and the stance part when it comes to correct foot work and center of gravity.. balance etc reminds me of it. Similar principles but different to suit each of course!!

[@james1795]

8, 16, 25, 45, 60 years old my bridge hand was spot on. Now at 70+ years my bridge hand struggles, due to deformation caused by arthritis (thankfully I have no pain). Being retired, I play 4+ - 6 hours at least 5 days a week. Not counting league time.

[@katarzynawesolowska8149]

Like always wonderful 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩and funny🙃

[@tereraikarenge3721]

love watching her play.She is very fundamentally sound

[@dangoodwin8469]

Great video, Jasmin!

[@pbuehner]

always the best intros

[@johnhayes6414]

CJ Riley has a very interesting take on stance. It's never the side of the hip. He suggests dead center of the body all the way between your eyes. Then a way your body moves out of the way to shoot dead center. Different approach

[@zanebeasley6246]

Thank you . Good information.

[@johnhayes6414]

Trying to learn stance from CJ may take a huge learning curve. I am use to stand the way you do

[@MikeyD8632]

I have a similar stance. I'm around 5'9. I need to bend the back leg some or else the cue is too close to chest. Very level and now comfortable

[@drewjenn9819]

Great tutorial!

[@jdcamc]

Thank you for this!!

[@ericlarkin6563]

Good job!

[@francker5510]

6:06 : what do you mean leaning on your shoulder?

[@luxshampoo8520]

can you talk about shots that need to reach using the bridge & extension!

[@CZ-xo9kd]

Have you done a video on shooting when the cue ball is frozen against the rail? Thats the shot I struggle the most with.

[@MissCued]

As a beginner I felt attack at the beginning lol 😂 still love your vids tho!!!

[@oussamameyoul-fp3wf]

Thank you 💖💖💝💙💙

[@samphilipp4997]

Sitting on the pooper is hilarious👍

[@Zeriah.Lawson]

My 11 ur old daughter has talent so I got her an 8ft slate olhausen..but she does not take instruction from me well and I'm very mellow. So I try to show her YOUR vids hoping she'll take it from you if not me❤ Encouraging her always to be pro one day

[@jdmikeg4]

8:00 I like to take a quick nap on my shoulder while everyone is waiting for me to shoot...

[@bernardomarquez4113]

Hermosa y muy talentosa

[@henryjohn972]

Thank you

[@bingbongmolinos8570]

I love u jasmin

[@edwardwallace1633]

I’m a beginner and been told I’m lifting my head on shots Do you have a simple tip for keeping my head down

[@perseusruben6972]

If I keep hitting my chest when I shoot and my shooting hand most of the time go outward after hitting the cue ball. Can I know what I can do. Tkz ❤

[@gorankunovic6404]

Move hip and that leg few mm

[@aaronboisen942]

What do you do if white ball touching the other ball Jasmine

[@busterbuster1641]

Cheers bigears.

[@gokhaniptes1209]

Can u make only video for closed hand bridge open bridge jump bridge types with details ty 🎉

[@elro-b7529]

nice

[@shanillramos8812]

Good tutorial. I don't really like to touch my chin to the cue. I prefer to keep a somewhat top view of the next object ball. 👽🥃🎱😷🍕

[@voyageDnB1]

Funny 😄

[@nasaOulu]

Is there some particular reason why snooker stand is so clearly different? Is it because snooker has bigger table or something else?

[@larrygeromette4747]

❤❤❤

[@JerryLee..]

What I struggle with is being right handed but left eye dominant. 😢😢 I can make shots but head alignment is uncomfortable. Any suggestions?

[@susannia7039]

Jasmin is the same. So am I. A lot of people are. She has a video called Eye Dominance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeccp1nr9mXirs

[@josheisert8380]

Same. Ive been playing over 40 years, quit for about 20 of them, but last year decided to rededicate myself. I broke everything down and restarted after learning about vision center. I'm left eye dominate with my vision center just to the left of my nose. So for people like us I think it's acceptable to have our back foot more to the right with a wider stance so we can get our vision center on line. I don't even worry where my feet are anymore I line up with my vision center on line and get comfortable from there. My accuracy has greatly improved as I am approaching A speed for once.

[@CookTheCrook15]

I’m right eye dominant and shoot left handed. What I do is when I’m aiming before getting down on the shot is lean to the side with my head over my anchor foot and finding center. Then, with my head still over to the side, step into the shot without my moving my head from the shooting line. It takes getting used to as all things do, but it has helped me. I had problems cutting balls from the left side until I started doing that

[@josheisert8380]

@@CookTheCrook15 Had I known about vision center when I started I would have learned left handed. Me being right handed if I start with my back foot on line I would have to tilt my head and lean so much that I about fall over. Not really but it's a lot. I may experiment more with that approach though. Everyone says start with your foundation but I'm having success for now my way but always looking for ways to get better

[@JerryLee..]

@josheisert8380 as a kid, I completely relearned shooting my air rifle left handed even though I knew nothing about dominant eye. Wish I would have done the same with pool. (Sigh) Leaning over isn't comfortable but it's something I may have to just get used to.

[@allenschneider1847]

I've been playing for years, I've never been able to take my stance so that my chin comes down on top of the cue. I wish you would watch me "step into" it and give some recommendations.

[@slhermit]

recommended position for Giraffes 3:00

[@philliprehn-tq5zb]

❤😊

[@shreddhead23]

😎🙏💯

[@Shirafreshhx3]

I have that problem,I get all in my game,and start missing shots due to body position 🤦🏻

[@habbadabbado5765]

Weight should be forward, like shooting a shotgun

[@jockhall3910]

What about short people

[@BadAtGaming100]

I like to imagine people actually pose and have stances like this *records self playing* Ok so lemme keep watching

[@rocktrung]

Is is important to put your chin as low as possible?

[@pellesinstrom593]

Uno!

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

This is pool silliness 101. Necessary answers? Bridge variations no one uses. It is all tripe. I am not impressed with your opinions. But I am the most unorthodox shooter you will likely ever see.
