Mastering the STOP SHOT - Like a Pro

[@physicsguybrian]

Great advice Jasmin!!!! Physicist here to support: Any contact point below center ball introduces rotation resulting from a component of the stroke "impact vector" that is NOT perpendicular to (directed straight into) the ball surface at point of contact. This component imparts torque (rotational force) that causes the spin. For any constant point below (or above for that matter) center ball, the amount of spin will be proportional to the applied impact force. The harder you hit the ball, the more spin is created in addition to translation speed. There is NO WAY AROUND THIS FACT. This is one reason why using the same below center contact point and changing your stroke force can be problematic. Whereas, training your brain and muscle memory with a variety of below center contact points allowing you to keep the stroke force to its literal "minimum required" will always keep your stroke well under control and dead aim! I could do entire lectures on this subject but it involves vector physics/mathematics and would lose a lot of people from boredom and/or other reasons. Suffice it to say that Jasmin has given excellent advice here and I can confirm it all with the physics behind it. Now get out there and practice folks! The GAME awaits you!!! Oh yeah and as always, Jasmin ROCKS!

[@BadAtGaming100]

Dang I really appreciate the slow views and the failed speed shots. So often there are pros acting out amateur performance and exaggerated, but doing a hard shot and adding speed really shows what me (an amateur) actually does. THAT really was helpful to see

[@AllDay-Headley]

Great video! It's about time someone explain that. Your next video really should be on the stun. That way beginners can really learn both shots. Absolutely love your content

[@udtojanpestillos2094]

In my opinion the stun shot is even more important. Because mostly you are in situations where you just need to move little bit forward, backward or side, but not too much. And too judge the angle and speed control correctly, it is insanely difficult for me. Mostly its too much or too less speed.

[@keithkruger7270]

Great content Jasmine, very well articulated description of what you're doing and why. I think your straight pool background cemented your approach to having a soft touch.

[@stephencushing8148]

As a newer player and one that gravitates towards the lower half of the cue ball but has yet to figure out the consistency needed, this is easily one of the best videos I’ve seen yet for playing the lower half and more particularly, the explanations couldn’t be more clear. Love sharivari and fx billiards channels, this will easily be another go to!

[@ficheye00]

Hey Jasmin.. thank you for yet Another great training video. I struggle with my stop shots.

I love the truth in your videos. Explaining the physics of pool shots and how players are different in stroke.

[@LarryKatz53]

Thanks!

[@LinG-TheEaglesNestSA]

Thank you Jasmin! I really appreciate and enjoy your training tips! Teaching us the “why” about our shot selection and technique is just as important as shot execution. I always implement the strategies you share into my training routine. Thank you! 🤓

[@logic368]

I think this is kind of a difference between the modern game with fast, high quality cloth vs the old slow cloth and big pockets back in the day. I feel like almost every shot I do is a bit of a “dink” shot, but timed so that there is just the right amount of stun mixed with follow or draw… lot of killing the ball too.

[@RichardsWorld]

Thanks for your advices.

[@LarryKatz53]

I find your lessons so helpful. Thank you. These videos spurred me to watch some of your competitions. It’s so great to see you practice what you preach. I’ll keep cheering your victories from afar. Greetings and peace from Lancaster, PA (USA).

Jasmin, Great Video. Very helpful! Will you please make a video teaching on the Stun shot and another one the Drag shot? You referenced these two shots in this video. Thanks in advance!

[@guymars4789]

Hey Coach, show us some techniques that will help us play better "STRAIGHT POOL"...'WILLIE"S GAME". Cheers mate

[@amazing40s97]

Spot on. What you describe as hitting low with speed and follow through is extremely difficult to master. I doubt most players can understand the nuance and levels to this

[@kreative-tv]

Thank you for all your helpful content 👍🏼

[@CalmonaTV]

Good explanation love it

[@udtojanpestillos2094]

I mostly play in philippines and this technique works great. I mostly aim lower than i should, so i can stroke with less power. But the problem is, when i go back to europe, i play on fast, high quality cloth's which turns out that if i aim the same way i do in philippines, the result is a draw shot instead of a stop shot. So i change my stroke because i hate rolling balls in, it makes my shot less accurate. So i start aiming higher with a little bit more speed.

[@chrisvand2678]

That makes sense. The Philippines vs European conditions comes down to the humidity in the air, and it can really screw ones game up if the table plays "wet". Good luck with your game.

[@bobtebbs7766]

[@davidmegeath1353]

Thanks for your excellent advice/technique…very helpful for a beginner like myself.

[@ronaldsullivan3653]

So much tkhanks for that. I used to practise with "slightly below" and everything is perfect as long as the distance is less than half of the table. Otherwise I was going slightly mad ;) this video is already a light in the tunnel for me

[@fernandotriana7961]

Really nice explanatión about stop shot, is amazing the way you use it, easy to umderstand Could you please explain us on other videos, stuff like follow through, and how to aim with side spin in order to correct the deviation of the cue ball Thank you for everything pretty woman

[@richbrant8534]

I would like to hear your thoughts on speed. Both pocket and table.

[@RazerX23]

Hey Jasmine, can you let us know where you purchased the target for your table. It looks to be made with felt so the balls can roll onto it. I can't find one like it.

[@Dodgyguitarist]

Great advice! will give it a go!

[@shelbywaddell5759]

Great information Jasmine, like your videos I will put that in my practice time.I have to many go's than stops ✋️

[@davidsantoro3945]

I was wondering, what cue stick do you use? And can you do a video on different types. Thanks

[@Jypsywednesday7833]

[@kevincafaro8846]

I don’t have the speed felt. Maybe due to I’m an amateur and have a slow felt, but I can’t get the action on the cue ball as u demonstrate. I’ll keep practicing 😊

Hi Jasmine, whats your table cloth brand? is it 80% wool?

[@fnaah_au]

what other considerations would there be for english/international 8-ball, where the cueball is slightly smaller than the object balls?

[@carlostorres974]

[@amyduquette1923]

Can you please, if you haven’t already, do a video on stop vs draw? Love your videos! Thx 😎✌🏼

[@villekoskela5443]

Im afraid of miscue when im aiming more lower on cueball. What should i do🤔

[@bamawon7040]

Thank you so much for all these tips

[@GeoJesse]

I think the reason you may hear people saying “stun” for a “stop” shot is because the jargon of Snooker is a stop shot is called a stun, and a stun shot is called a “stun run through” I believe the confusion originates from people who play snooker playing pool and so they use the terms for pool what they use in snooker. For example, I don’t say “bank shot” I call that a “double” I also call a combo a “plant” shot. I Never use the term “draw” either- usually say backspin (sometimes screw) or “deep screw” for a draw shot that travels back very far.

[@PoolProblems]

Stun = cue ball slides when it hits the object ball. A stop shot is a straight stun shot. I don't think that's confusing at all.

[@hbgstorm]

Please teach us the break with the position on the 1 ball with the 9 on the spot. And why do we see it more often when the 1 ball is on the spot and not that often when the 9 is on the spot ?

[@chrisvand2678]

The answer is geometry..

[@anthonykeller5120]

So then what is the difference between your stop shot and a drag shot?

[@super_d4d741]

In a drag shot, the cue ball loses the back spin way before hitting the object ball, causing it to roll forward slowly and then hit the object ball.

[@tavinc]

Is this a direct answer to my comment a few videos ago asking why players seem to aim low on their shots regardless of the shot type?

[@steve_weinrich]

There are a number of players (SVB is one) who always aim low and then raise the tip on the final stroke.

[@onnyt60]

It’s easier to find the center line of the ball if you start out aiming low on the cue ball. In that way you also eliminate any unwanted side spin.

[@rabihavi8062]

"talk to you soon", diese passage gefällt mir am besten mit dem süßen Blick

[@wesguitarra91]

You're the goat Jasmine 🐐

[@silverburst79]

The closer you are the higher you hit for a dead stop , increase in distance then the lower you hit at same speed for the same result . Simple

[@markshaneh]

Ok, instead of failed draw shot, How about a controlled draw shot ? Thanks for your work and passion ✌🏼

[@WESLEYFMURDOCK]

And...... What About The Cue Stick & Tip On The Stick ?

[@james1795]

What about it?

[@ngsaichin1]

Sounds easy, but many pool players do not hit "the intended spot" on the cue ball due to many reasons (stroke, vision etc.). That is why going pro is a "pain and lonely" journey.

[@TheREVIEWGUY1-ip1wm]

I subscribed thanks

[@06Insight]

I am still not 100% sure what you are advocating; a consistent cue position while varying stroke intensity. Or, a consistent stroke intensity while varying cue position. In both cases, according to distance. Players often say to hit "on speed." This implies that varying cue tip position according to distance would be optimal. I suppose that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. I shall collect some statistical data.

[@churchy4202]

Why YOU Wearing a GLOVE ?

[@james1795]

Seriously?

[@silverburst79]

You can’t play a dead stop by hitting middle ball …. It’s not possible . When you address what you think is middle the bottom half of your top is actually catching the cue ball a touch below centre . If you actually hit pure middle the cue ball will move forward , guaranteed

🤔 ❤A man suspected his wife of cheating while he was at work. He told his best friend about it. He says I could place a hidden camera in the bedroom, but I don't want to spend that much money... His friend says there's an easy and cheap way to be sure: attach a spoon under your mattress, and place a bowl filled with milk under it. That way, if your wife goes to bed with someone, the mattress will sink and the spoon will touch the milk. All you have to do when you get home is to check if milk is on the spoon or not. The man agrees to do so and goes home. 2 days later, they meet again.**- So, did you do it?**- Yeah, I did everything you told me: I put the spoon, the bowl, the milk, etc. And I checked yesterday evening.**- What happened? - The bowl was full of butter.
