14:18 makes you the best. That pro stroke is what we're all striving for 🤟

[@andrewlaprairie]

my favorite part about the point of view cam is comparing all the different table conditions and watching how Eberle's shot choices change! thank you for all of your content

[@richardhughes2209]

Hey Max…. Just want to say you inspire me to be the best pocket billiards player that I can be. I’m just a young black man from Brooklyn, NY trying to inspire others like me to branch out and show their love for the sport no matter what color they might be. I plan on being in the lime light like, SVB, Earl S, EBR, Joshua Filler, The Ko Pin brother, and etc. In honor of the Great Cisero Murphy. Hopefully one day I can cross your path and show you my burning passion for the sport on the table. Keep up the great content, always much appreciated!

[@MaxEberle]

This means a lot to me Richard, thank you. I was fortunate to meet Cisero shortly before he died. I saw him practicing in Dover, Delaware at a 9ball tournament and while he was waiting to break a rack I approached him and congratulated him for being inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame. He said thank you with sincerity and I’ll never forget that moment. He had the longest pause at the end of his backswing that I’d ever seen. What a legend. Thank for the message and I wish you success in your endeavors in pool. You can do it!

[@richardparker7168]

Max, these POV's are amazing. It has altered my pool game dramatically (I see through the eyes of a pro). Please keep posting!

[@MikeyD22]

Really appreciate this format! Seeing your cueing placement has more value than most instructional videos. Please keep them coming.

[@pauljsavagejr]

This is a great example of staying down on your shot. Worst habit when playing 9 ball is getting lazy. Getting in that zone of two stroking every shot, eventually missing because I didn't stay down. Great POV cam! Thanks for the upload

[@GT-1902]

But sometimes it can be good to play "lazy" as you call it.

[@pauljsavagejr]

@@GT-1902 Right. I apologize. Lazy may have not been the word to use. Maybe more of a fast paced rhythm. How do you see it as a good thing?

[@GT-1902]

@@pauljsavagejr I think I get what you're saying and the word Lazy is valid lol. I think that it's ok to play quickly as to not overthink things (take the same number of practice strokes on every shot, and shoot whether you're ready or not). I guess it might depend on what level the player is at also?

[@ady29563028]

best pov ever !

[@donaldrevels4778]

Very nice max, your stroke is so straight.

[@AlsAllMetalDetecting]

Thanks Max. It was just like being there & you know how much I wanted to. Great shooting as always brother. Be well, Al-Fu

[@paulallen8772]

Great to watch. thanks for the insights. All the best.

[@fullcircle5and10]

Thank you max for another outstanding video. I hope in one video maybe you can show your bridge position for a frozen corner cue ball middle pocket shot to opposite end of table. I'm have issues with bridge setup but working on it. You are the greatest Max. I just saw video again and was able to see your bridge from a side pocket shot which will help me. Thanks again my friend

[@TheGunDude]

Rail yard is a great place. The tables are pretty nice

[@joekind1]

You are unbeatable, I liked when you broke from the box you used the cut break.

[@kuzbuz13]

Would love to see a video with your opinion and advice on lining up and getting down on the shot line. Great video

[@josephsmith4073]

Love these POV videos. Really starting to pick up the different ways you strike the ball for spin and stuff. Really helps a total beginner.

[@TeaQDaily]

Such an awesome POV, I should be studying right now but these videos are addicting

[@jdmikeg4]

Hello Max! It was an honor meeting you back in San Diego! I’m a beginner pool player and your videos have helped me improve significantly! I started implementing more use of outside English and my pocket making has increased 25-30% Thanks for all the awesome advice! Take care brother!

[@pauljsavagejr]

San Diego? On Cue?

[@MaxEberle]

Thank you! Glad to hear it for real 🎉 Keep up the good work on your game. See you in socal next time!

[@muhammadalikamarullah2947]

Make more videos like this Max, i really2 enjoyed your game and also your POV is on point!

[@MaxEberle]

Thanks, will do!

[@user-vg9fb1pj8r]

Awesomeness in motion. Max I live here so the next time your in town look me up for some excellent cuisine. I really like this head cam. It gives me ideas on my bad stroke. So smooth Max. ❤

[@Shizzymynizzy]

Hey max how are you setting up the camera? Id love to do the same to critique my own playing

[@mikeryan5856]

I hope to meet you again Max you were so cool in person. We met at Griffs in 2021

[@cotedazure]

Great POV upload as usual! Your vids are documentation to me; I'm constantly channeling these POVs when I practice these days. Looks like you're using the Dante 2 playing cue from JFlowers. Just curious if you would use the Dante/SMO combo in a major tournament if you were to compete this year or would you fall back to your older more familiar cue? I recall Dennis Orcollo got 2nd place at the Japan Open last year with the SMO shaft so I guess you can say it's a "competitive" grade of shaft.

[@user-xv9jp9nn2z]

ONE OF THE GREATEST! CLASS ACT AND SUPER NICE GUY From Jimmie Fox and Family

[@ywie]

Great video, which gloves do you use Max?

[@mastersanada]

Hi, I’ve been watching a lot of your PoV videos and I find them very entertaining. I’ve read somewhere you use a GoPro 11, is the audio from your GoPro okay to use or do you happen to use an external microphone on it as well? Do your pool courses also come with PoV shots as well, or are those relatively unnecessary in the process? Thanks!

[@KTHKUHNKK]

Nice run that does look like a nice pool room

[@MaxEberle]

Thanks it opens today officially it’s magnificent actually. Master CLUB Billares in Medellin.

[@KTHKUHNKK]

@@MaxEberle I will probably see you playing Efron Reyes soon

[@John-qc1zv]

Hi Max, I'm buying a new pool table, do you recommend matt black with tournament blue cloth or it is just because it looks better on camera ?

[@MrTargetU]

Hey this place ain't bad but it ain't On Cue!! LOL We may never see you again in SD...hope you're in action my friend

[@congtranchi6793]

amazing, please can you tell me what cue tip do you use in this video?

[@MaxEberle]

Moori medium

[@odraodee]

Love these videos! Is that a jflowers SMO shaft?

[@MaxEberle]

Thanks! Yes it is… you can get yours here jflowerscues.com/ref/maxeberle/

[@odraodee]

@@MaxEberle Ah amazing to hear. Got one myself as well, taking a bit to adjust coming from a normal jflowers shaft. How are you liking it?

[@TommySWJ]

Whats your playing cue Max?

[@awiewie7610]

🔥

[@golfingmadeeasy]

How'd you do at the Derby?

[@NameName-ji6wv]

Do you always break with your playing cue? Is there a time when you would use a break cue?

[@MaxEberle]

Not always, I started doing it when I do the matchroom cut break because it’s not a very powerful break and it requires control… also my new tip is pretty hard already it’s a moori medium but I may switch up soon….

[@NameName-ji6wv]

@@MaxEberle Cool thanks for the reply. I dig the videos on propoolacademy, helped my stance a lot.

[@Mr_amo_killer]

What is the price of your wood, Max, and what is its name and type?

[@MaxEberle]

This is the Dante 2 by JFlowers with the SMO shaft. VERY accurate cue with great feel. jflowerscues.com/ref/maxeberle/

[@beyondnzt4866]

Outside English on Every shot 👏 (Sorry CJ?)

[@tourdelance3698]

Go pro is too low 😊

[@MaxEberle]

How so?

[@jmmyjimmy106]

He's probably got a bad back and shoots standing straight up, POV looked pretty much perfect to me. ​@@MaxEberle
