POOL LESSON | Rock Around The Clock ( Optimal Cue Ball Control! )

[@rexrice4496]

Whether you want to break up a cluster or just want the q on a certain track line - this is a great drill. TY Neils.

[@wademckinney9680]

In my opinion, you are the greatest teacher ever. I only learn from you.

[@SRGoldfish]

I appreciate u telling us that it took u multiple attempts. The fact that you’re a world champion and still show us that you’re human and not an actual machine (A terminator lol) shows me a lot. Thank u.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Glad you appreciate it. I think it's way more human that way which is very important!! Even though I am 'The Terminator'... 😎😎😂😂

[@FedorGorstPro]

Nice one!

[@jakekunda7830]

Top notch instruction from a top notch pro! Appreciate you, and grateful to you for sharing your wisdom! Cheers

[@willieboyd1413]

Willie Boyd I like the way you explain things it seems very simple

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Willie!! Much appreciated 👏😀😎

[@poolboy7806]

Kelly Fisher got me doing this at a clinic a few weeks ago and it has improved my cue ball control in a short time, more work to needed but much better play.

[@CalmonaTV]

Thank you for sharing sir

[@antoniog9814]

Niels, you always have such helpful information. We missed you at the Mosconi Cup! Where were you? Team Europe did it again! Start planning for M. Cup 2023!

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

Europe could send 3 teams to beat the US. One country can’t take on 5, it’s pure arrogance.

[@antoniog9814]

@@jasonnieuwenhuis335 Maybe a bit extreme, but ok. The US could be a bit arrogant thinking it can compete with a much broader talent base. Yet they do year after year. It makes for a good competition.

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

@@antoniog9814 they don’t though, they won with a European coach a handful of times in the last 14 years.

[@jamesdavis8731]

@@jasonnieuwenhuis335 it's how the Mosconi Cup originally started. I have no doubt America would love to take on one country at a time. When the European's literally have ALL OF A HUGE CONTINENT to pick their players from and then go against one country - ya, it is tough. But we American's like it being tough - but it does get frustrating. America has a lot of talent, but the sport of pool is much more popular, it seems, in Europe and therefore Europe is very very deep in talent. In America, American football, basketball, and baseball are by FAR the most popular sports so kids in America just gravitate to those sports. It would be nice to see American's appreciate how great of a game pool is. Ok, my mini rant is over. Again, many American's wonder why ONE COUNTRY has to take on an entire HUGE continent, but that is how the Mosconi Cup came to be - and it ain't changing any time soon. America was very competitive this year and just a few years ago won back to back. But when you are facing Filler, Shaw, Sanchez, Alcaide, and guys like that - shit, that is tough.

[@jasonnieuwenhuis335]

@@jamesdavis8731 that’s what I mean. Bone man is in the top 10, no other American is in the top 50! Europe could literally send 3 teams

You rock Niels! Thanks for another great one! :)

Those dissappointment reaction😅😅Love your videos!!

[@creedolala6918]

this so good. Practical. It comes up all the time whether breaking out a ball or just trying to go through a gap.

[@elmagnificent]

Great drill Niels!Thank you! Ps.dont drop the chalk!😁

[@Ishgab]

Just starting to practice pool and doing drills instead of just playing, and I can already see this one will help me a lot. Thanks Neils!

[@Zigarius1123]

Champ you always bring us the very best help, advice content and just plain love for the sport and improvement. Bless you and your family during these special times. As always thanks again champ!

[@isakceleketic1169]

👋 Bravo Nils! 🍀🏆

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Nice drill right? Will get you focussed right away ;)

[@dsryan165g]

Great drill. Took me 2 hours to finish. Confirmed that it's time to replace the rubber in my cushions...and I finished all the way back to the same corner pocket.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Nice job Darrell!! Keep it going 🔥🔥 And thanks for watching!

[@nealcosmo937]

Quick Question: When you're in a match are you actually thinking..."If Im at this diamond and I need to go here for position then I should hit whatever o'clock on the cue ball"(Just a general example).... Or are you just feeling the shot, visualizing the shot and then naturally moving your tip position to what "feels" right?? Thank you for these amazing instructional videos! We, the pool fans, really appreciate them!!!

[@CueballcontrolSometimes]

Can you do a video to expand on the idea of "evaporated spin" when to know it will die off as well as picking up spin off balls or rails?

[@suewoo5]

Good suggestion

[@donh1537]

Thanks Niels!

[@Badboybenny]

Best instruction video ever

[@jamesdavis8731]

Fantastic drill!!!!! Making the ball and putting the cue ball where I want it on these types of shots is something I really struggle with. This is the first time I have seen this drill. I went down to my local pool hall in Manila and tried this drill. Easily the toughest drill I have even done. Really struggled with it and a number of good local players tried it and they really struggled with it. What I like about this drill is that you have to make the shots with english (most of them) and you have to figure out how much english to use and how much speed to use to get where you want. This is a damn tough drill, but it already has helped me with only a few hours doing it. This drill really makes you think about angles and where the ball is going.

[@jamiemckeon1432]

Thanks!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you Sir 😃😃

[@rickmiller9368]

Fantastic new content. Love the focus on cueball direction and most importantly, how you are deducing what type of spin and speed is needed.

[@beercanbrian1880]

Great drill especially for position play on the other end of the table which comes up all the time in 9 ball. Getting my new Brunswick 9ft Gold Crown VI installed in my home this Monday. Got this drill saved. Can't wait to give it a go.

[@jamesdavis8731]

It is ok to say how damn envious I am of you. I sure wish I had my own table. It might lead to me getting divorced though.

[@ChannelStarface]

Terminator calling out me out in the first 2 mins

[@ScottGibson-ot1bm]

Niels, I am fairly new to your channel. Your drills are very informative and presented in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Not only do you cover the What and How, but also the Why. I'm already seeing improvements in my game. Thanks for taking the time to share your world class knowledge with us regular guys that want to get a little better!

[@jasonh3109]

Yes!!!! What a great drill! Another gem. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@damaxx8962]

Amazing lesson and drill

[@jamesbond20]

Trying this drill 2 ways: 1) As presented (for breakouts) -just hit the target and don't worry about the cueball 2) stopping cueball at target ( For cueball position) Ensure cueball finishes within 1-2 balls of target With #2, Sometimes a) can't get to or is really hard to get to desired target Good to know your limitations before planning your shot. Try something else that might work. b) Needs different English than #1 ...both are hard, but get easier with repetition.😂

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

I like it! Good mix up😄💪🏼🔥👊🏼

[@thomasmuller9606]

I love watching your videos and you're teaching I'm trying to do this drill at a pool. But I'm having a hard time hitting the second ball and I'm doing it with low left draw

[@evolutionpoolhallskalalaco122]

hi,i am a big fan and thank you for all of these lessons, they are really helpfull.. I have one question and i would be grateful if you give some time for answer to me Mr. Feijen. What about concetrate and focus on the table and game while playing a tournament? How can calm you self and your mind, when it starting to make you nervous and feel anxious?How can, imeddiately, turn your mind into calm position, before the end of the frame? thank you for your time.

Me too. That’s my buddy Greg on that video. R.I.P Greg luv ya brother.

[@csgexec]

This is my favorite drill so far. It’s difficult but so rewarding each time you hit the target ball. I noticed I have to hit with less speed than you for each ball. Could that be because I’m shooting on an 8 foot table vs. a 9 foot table?

[@lilyfeng6598]

Wow 😊

[@toddrobert384]

U da man 😎

[@medallion39]

Maybe because I have an 8 footer but I’m surprised on very last shot you didn’t have to go sharper into corner

[@2player998]

Great lessons mate. I’m curious ball park how long it took you to complete this? Obviously it got rendered down quite a bit.

[@andrelavoie8410]

Wen through Paypal.... Thanks for another great tip.

[@Llimton850]

Question:. On shot 2 you used what I think is 7 o'clock. You described it as low with a.little left. It flatened out the cue ball and the the spin helped.it hit your target Fast forward to shot 4, you described it as and used 7 o'clock however the cue ball went a steeper angle towards the middle diamond and then headed towards your target. Shots 2 and 4, what are the differences on your tip placement. The on screen graphic of the cue ball and tip placement seemed identical when watching three ttwo shots. Thanks Niels, just asking for knowledge and hoping you will help. This drill is great

[@Corner4Billiards]

How many attempts total did it take you to hit all of them?

[@JohnJohnson-zq9rg]

Nice drill. But confusing, uneasy to watch from this camera perspective (a bit like driving backwards in a car). Your left is my right etc.I would like to see the shots from your perspective. So from the shooters perspective. Then left is left en right is right.

[@jamesdavis8731]

I would really like to see this drill done from his point of view with a Go Pro. But this is a great drill and very difficult to execute consistently. Really makes you think about angles, english, speed, and pocketing balls with english. Brilliant drill.

[@tpham158]

great video. From VietNam with love

[@jbart9309]

Great drill. Shocked I finished in less than an hour. Deployed a few different spins than Niels to finish the last balls. Niels is quite a character. Such a nice and seemingly genial guy in his KZbin lessons, but he looks like he wants to rip every opponent’s head off when he’s playing competitively. Not quite as much now that he’s older, but the intense ornery-looking player is still there! 🤓

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hey J! Nice workout and well done for completing the drill 👍👍 Appreciate your comment 🔥

[@csgexec]

Thanks for the insights Champ!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you very much!!!🙏🙏🔥😃

[@johncooper9579]

Thank you for explaining that not every try is successful and in fact some shots require several attempts. Of course that's why it's called practice. Some videos edit out all the misses and act as though the shooter hits every shot. Nice job explaining what you are doing and how you are doing it.

[@charlesrussell6731]

Thanks for all the tips & drills, much appreciated.

I have just jokingly play with cue without tip against my friend. With your video, stroke tune up drills, I can beat them 😅

[@michaeldwyer603]

I never liked doing drills because of a few reasons. If I spend a lot of time on a drill that isn't necessary, I'm wasting my time. Also, the spin that the drill instructor suggested never worked, seemed impossible. I am a extremely good pool player. I've been playing for over 30 years. Hours a day. I kind of play off of feel and instincts. After watching this video, I understand drills now. So many factors in a shot. That's why pros are pros because they know exactly what speed, spin and pace to use on every shot. However, this is the best drill I've ever tried. I needed a few tries on a couple of them. I will do this drill everyday from now on. Because I know its valuable and I enjoy it. Thank you so much for everything you do for us. Happy Holidays!!

[@robdetuinman2]

What is your fargorate?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks for your comment Michael! I'm glad I have inspired you to work more effective on your game 😃 This playlist is also very good and it's important to vary your workouts a little: kzbin.info/aero/PLzjzZn8Miek1gDQaNlkuB32AHRdwGZwJw Every morning, before I start my practice, I write don't what I'm going to do tat day; which exercises, how long etc. That way I'm totally focussed on my practice ;) A free tip from me ;) :) You will find enough workouts, practice drills and mental tips on my channel.
