Jeremy Jones Pool Instruction - Stroke Part 1

[@erenozturk5796]

Hi Mr. Jones! These two videos has changed a lot in my game. I solved one of my biggest problem, that I had no idea why did my draw shots were not stable. they were sometimes very good but sometimes terrible, especially when I am under pressure. Now I discover the power that I need in the smooth calm back-stroke. Now I can rely on it :) Thank you so much from my heart!

Jeremy Jones is a genius of this game, he understands literally everything about the game and pool is one of the most complicated games in the world. Good job pal!

[@quinnbaker1935]

Ping pong and chess are more complicated than pool

⁠@@quinnbaker1935but like, why bother saying that? who cares?

[@lazarnovovic5416]

Yeah everybody can play pool its a litlle bit tougher than fishing, sorry bro. 🥱

[@lordmaximus4602]

Which he could use that genius to win US a Mosconi cup, instead of 5+ straight loses. If JJ a genius, Johan must be the GOAT.

Come on, pool is one of the easiest games in the world. The playing surface is tiny. The action to strike the ball is linear. Everything is always under controlled conditions. It's one of the simplest easiest games, which is why amateurs knock in 8-ball clearances all the time. On the other hand, 95% of golfers that have a handicap have a handicap of 18+. Golf is orders of magnitude more difficult. Very few ever shoot sub-par, or even sub-80. American football, soccer, tennis, badminton, skiing, basketball, table tennis, the list is so long, games/sports that are much more complicated and difficult than pool.

Hey Jeremy, good stuff. The "pause" at the end of the backstroke is always a good discussion. As you mentioned, some pros do, and some don't. I personally don't have a pause. I lose the feel for the shot if I do pause. I concentrate on a smooth back swing and smooth forward transition. On another note, last year, I posted a video on how to shoot a certain shot. A fella named Chris Jones chimed in. During the conversation, it was obvious he really knew what he was talking about. I asked him if he was Jeremy Jones's brother. He said he was. I believed him because of his obvious, deep understanding of the game of pool. You obviously would know. Anyway, thought I would mention that. Even though I've been playing for decades, I enjoy your instructional videos.

It's amazing how well a preshot routine works. See your shot and where you want to end up. Pay extra attention to how you come down on the ball. Pause. One stroke for aim,one for speed,and one extremely important thing. The back swing before delivery. This will make or break everything. Drive all the way through the ball. That's what works for me. This video has really, really helped my consistency. Thanks so so much I would add. If your struggling with a poke stroke then use your full bridge length, I struggled with this until realizing I'm not utilizing my full bridge length when needed. A good line and smooth stroke will allow you to make balls with your eyes closed. I tried it.

Thank you Mr. Jones for giving aid to us non-pros. I always enjoy your commentary during pro matches.

[@valentenicoletti3622]

Really nice one ....or another one, i preach that my student to , but hearing someone like double J saying that, have a total different impact ! Thanks a lot

[@dd0ck]

I gotta *wait* for another episode to learn how to stroke?! Hurry up already!! 😂 (Loving this series.)

[@scruffyleon7383]

This must be the "pause" before the back swing. LOL

[@stevemerritt2721]

Allison Fisher also had a good point about ball to the hole, she said another thing is look at is hole to the ball as you many want to cheat the pocket to move the cue ball more

[@DavidWeymouth-oz9ex]

Thank you Jeremy. This reassures me of the physical process that I use which is basically identical thank you for that.

[@jamesjohnson7167]

[@scruffyleon7383]

Thanks JJ

[@NefariousMinds]

Amateurs be like, "How is this going to make me better"? Pros be like, " You giving this information for free"????

[@xcreedx2184]

I do the pause and adjust the speed I want for the final stroke.

[@DanielWells-rp1oq]

Be true and follow thru!

[@albert333pool]

What cue model is JJ using (Cuetec)

[@julianjones4181]

Can someone explain to me what smoothing it in means?

[@jacobjones5269]

I’m guessing a 76 inch wingspan helps?… Right, Jeremy?!.. lol..
