Jeremy Jones Pool Instruction: Rolling Your Ball with English

[@shotmakerjack]

JJ is the best teacher. Never knew how softly I can get the cue ball anywhere on the table 💪

[@TD_Romeo]

The best coach… good lesson. Be nice to be able to see the balls most of the time. Hard to visualize without it

[@MikeAmmo]

thanks for the work. Let's get the camera guy to get the whole table in the shot.

[@davidkihm9186]

This is such a crucial tool that many (most?) amateurs lack. Excellent instruction as always from JJ

[@sdickinson5234]

An important point here is that when you hit center right or center left instead of high or low right or left, the cue ball can travel slowly in a straight line while still spinning like a top and preserving that spin energy.

Great stuff, J.J. But that camera man could learn a thing or two about shooting the right angles..

[@brettcreech3490]

Thanks Jeremy

[@raferb]

Nice instruction JJ!

[@freddierodriguez2608]

Lets go Jeremy

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

Great video. Kind of wish you used the measles ball so we could see the spin. Very nice instruction.

[@add1cted2l3arning]

I just watched the game where that was called on broadcast. Weird timing to see your comment

[@trevorchamapiwa9953]

Hey JJ, I'm looking for a good glove. Which one do you recommend and why?

[@SamuL147]

Good stuff but can you just use an Aramith tournament cue ball with red dots for visualizing the spin? I mean I know what spin is but someone else might struggle to understand what’s happening there

[@enchildlouis-jacques8792]

Great tutorial, thanks Where can I buy that blue APA light mounted on the wall (behind you)?

[@indianastoned8234]

Love these. Want to see more of Jeremy Jones! But honestly I'm not sure I learned much more than the fact that rolling with English is useful and difficult. So, mission accomplished?

[@poolpassion]

the key is to lighten your grip and stroke through the cue ball with complete follow through.

[@tonygarner3797]

First off, you're a super awesome player, better than I will ever be. With that being said, keep a fixed camera on the pool table, I want to see the table, not you, no disrespect. Also, show where you're hitting the cue ball for the shot and a stop shot or follow through. Keep explaining what you are doing, but we don't need to see you, just your hands and your cue and where you are hitting the ball. I watch a lot of pool videos on here, but I only get to play a couple times a month. I am subscribed to your channel and I look forward to seeing more. 😀

[@jaimemolina1777]

Need a new camera operator. Can’t see the shot on the one ball.

[@drumrooster]

No reason to video the balls.

[@nvpoolshooter]

Rule of thumb for you lesser experienced players. The thinner the cut, the closer your tip moves to the cue ball equator.

[@lorenzotassellari7015]

Wtf are you on about xd

[@nvpoolshooter]

@lorenzotassellari7015 Generally speaking. Depends on the shot and where you need the cue ball to go. Like the shots in the video. Thin cuts. Simple straight left or right. You start trying to apply spin from the 2, 5, 7, 10 o'clock positions on the cue ball on thin cuts, buys you next to nothing, and speed control is an issue. JJ mentioned this. I'm not on nothing. Been playing this game since you were still swimming in your daddies loins.

[@LaVerdad65]

​@nvpoolshooter not really. Depends on the shot, you use as much english as you need

[@drewvonporte]

He’s right you know 👆🏼 When you’re real thin, the top and bottom of the cue ball don’t do much to change your initial angle (apart from help you miss 😏). And 9 times out of 10, on a thin cut, you will be hitting the rail pretty much head on. Which is where left and right spin do most of the work 💪🏼

[@aaronisham9700]

Thanks

What do illegal immigrants and pool balls have in common? The harder you hit them, the more English you get out of them.
