Your videos are super helpful. I really appreciate your channel and just wanted to say thanks for doing all that work keeping your head down and grinding to get to where you are man that’s amazing I watch you guys play all the time and you’re one of the most intense players I’ve ever seen, bro it’s pretty cool man

[@FrankPenny-kh4ve]

This was one of the first shots that cane naturally to me when I started playing pool in '93.people always asked how and what did i do. I always said that the ABS braking system kicked in. Also I've found the closer to the target ball the abs kicks in, the more energy is transferred to target ball with less roll on the white, which is excellent on preventing a scratch etc. This is also the first video of this shot I've ever seen. Thanks Terminator. Frank Penny

I think nobody on youtube or even on the whole of social media combines the intricate physics of the game and the ease of learning like you, Niels. It is undeniable that you are the best coach that any pool player would love to be under your wings, whether they were an amateur or a professional. I've only been playing pool for 2 years and I strongly believe that your videos have helped me massively in my technique. A lot of my friends at the pool hall are always shocked when they find out I've only been playing for such a short time, and I think that's thanks to you and your amazing videos. Cheers, Yousef M, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

[@RazaXML]

I gotta tell you Neils this is the best video I've seen in a long time. This is some great advanced stuff. I've been playing for over 30 years and never thought of using a drag shot to get extra spin on a slow ball. Since you made this I've already used this like 10 times in games to do stuff that wasn't possible before. It's great for safeties as well as getting the ball to move way more off the rail than I could before. Thank you so much. This is great.

[@gadoraahmed4220]

Abdulgadir your vids actually improved my game a LOT, especially on the mental side of billiards. goat.

[@katherineswanston9782]

I used this shot quite accidentally in a match and loved how I could shoot a bit harder and still maintain decent shape for my next ball. Afterwards, I found out what it was called. Now I just have to master side spin and I'm off to the races... lol. I really appreciate your videos. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks! Katherine Swanston

[@martinsawicki1235]

Marcin Sawicki from Germany here, thanks for another great video! Gonna try it in my next session! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@mikepenrod2188]

Mike Penrod. Great tip, I have always wondered how to keep the cue ball from traveling too far, thank you for the video

[@IanBrian2112]

My name is Eduardo Reyes Jr. I'm from Las Vegas. I learned a lot from you, Niels. I'm 100x better pool player now because I used and applied all your techniques. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤

[@davidquigg5567]

Thank you for another great lesson. This video helped me to understand what I'm doing wrong with my stop shots as well as put another great shot in my game - David Quigg

[@terrye8556]

Hi Neils, thanks for explaining the Drag stroke. I have used it in the past but I didn't exactly know what/how to do right. Now I can practice it with the knowledge on how to use it. Terry Erdmann, thanks again for the information.

[@natsferia5116]

Renato Feria - I just started playing pool and I would definitely have this included in my plays. Practice practice practice! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@markpost5577]

Mark Post - Niels, great to see you on KZbin! I played in a couple tournaments with you 20+ years ago in canton/akron Ohio! Fantastic to see you are still kicking butt on the table, awesome video keep it up!✌️🎱😊

Hi Nils, always a pleasure to watch your videos. Many thanks for all your efforts! See you next week at Fulda maybe! Best regards Marcus Müller (for the Giotto case draw)

[@mikestephan5430]

Enjoyed your drag shot video. It helped me to look at my shots.when I shoot to keep the cue ball from rolling to much. Almost like a stop shot.

[@tomm9178]

Thanks Neils. Yours and Dr. Dave's are, by far, the best videos on pool instruction out there. Thanks for detailing many of the fine points of the drag stoke - a real "Efren specialty" as were all his spin shots that helped him to rarely need power strokes to achieve position. I've found the most challenging part of the stroke is "feeling" the amount of and timing of the swerve effect when combining it with lots of sidespin over a long distance. Boy, it really feels good when I can pull those off, sweet. Thanks again, Thomas Meyer, Connecticut, USA

[@oscaracevedo7543]

Hello I’m Oscar Acevedo I love the way you explain everything, thank you for all the videos, I’m getting better with your videos.🥰

I admire your playing style and specifically that you practice what you preach. Your pre-shot routine is just what you teach. Good luck to you as you move foreward with both your playing and teaching careers. I'm Howard Fierman; Raleigh, NC; USA

[@mikenorkum9066]

Mike Norkum. Love your training videos. I will be practicing this drag stroke. Much appreciated

[@w27david]

Niels once again Thanks a lot for your input. I am pretty sure that i already improved my game. I heard of the drag shot and of course i played the drag shot, but mostly because of technical issues and not on purpose. I will give it a try and hope to get another weapon for my position play. Cheers, David Wißen

[@PhilBusse-p1t]

Because of you and you're informative videos, I purchased a Longoni cue with extensions! I appreciate your work ethic, the obstacles you've overcome, in family values! Please keep up the good work!

[@Harpmaniak59]

Great video lesson, Neil! I have been watching you for a long time and learned a lot from you. I haven't seen videos on the drag shot in a long time and have forgotten to use it. I play one pocket and this shot would be a great addition. It is to be practiced for sure! Thank you!

Bill O’Brien - one of my favorite strokes to use, I actually used it yesterday in an 8 ball match to get straight in on the 8. Super effective and reliable.

[@sherrilblackmon7465]

Sherril Blackmon. "Terminator Tips" are some of the best instructional videos around. Thank you, Niels.

[@MrAkramMahmood]

Love your style of explaining and encouraging to practice Neils! Thanks for the consistent high quality videos! ❤ B Qureshi from USA 🎉

[@ΝικοςΚαβαλος-ρ6γ]

Nikos Kavalos... Thanks for the videos Niels. Just amazing. I love your style. Playing with a Longoni Blades butt (for carom) and a Luna nera shaft. Sounds awkward for 9 ball but I don't change it for anything.....

[@vixnas3962]

Nkululeko Hadebe... worth a try I believe "Longoni bag" can reach me in South Africa... I love how you have demonstrated this shot, I saw Mark Selby killing a white like that and I was a bit confused how... but now I see how.... can't wait to practice those 5 shots.

[@weissms68]

Markus Weiß. I used to play the drag stroke to hold the cue ball similar to your first two examples but never intentionally with side spin. I need to try this soon.

[@TerryMohammed-s7e]

Terry Mohammed great advice will practice the drag shot 👍 thank you 😊

[@RonaldFlesch]

thank's for what you do for the pool community, the help we get from what you teach makes us not only want to play but do the magic word ( PRACTICE ) often my fellow pool partners tell me how lucky I am and all I can say to them is the more I practice the luckier I get. when i don't understand what you guys are teaching I have to be patient it's just that my level of expertise is not there yet I have to walk before I run and I find with guys like you the more I learn the more pool has to teach me. THANKS AGAIN for keeping us in this sport.

[@markevenson987]

Mark Evenson. Great lesson on the drag stroke. Beautiful case. Thanks for all you do for KZbin fans.

[@penelopewolinski5564]

Thank you Neil you showing me the drag shot I was able to win my nineball game this evening by using the shot several times. Thank you and Longoni for providing these videos.

[@dennisweaver532]

To The Terminator, I have been watching your videos for a short time and really enjoy the way you explain details. You are helping game a lot. I definitely will practice the Drag Shot! Thank you!

[@devonshire56]

Wow !! what a great tool that I have only used accidentally but now I'm going to actively train this as a skill. One of my pool playing friends has a quirk that's similar to this "drag" shot. In his case he has been working to eliminate it because it crops up at the wrong times. Now, I will show him how to use it as a tool in his pool skills and use it at the correct situations...fantastic, thank you Niels from Al Van Schaik, Seattle, WA. USA

[@nancylajudice5101]

Nancy LaJudice. Looove the drag shot for positioning! Thank you, Neils & Longoni, for your commitment to the game & to all of us!

[@scottturner3100]

I haven't mastered this shot yet... but I very much love the way it works for me. So you know... other than picking up techniques from watching pro tournaments on U-tube... your lessons give me more for my game than any other videos that I watch... and I watch alot of videos. Thank you for the time you spent on teaching. Scott Turner from California
