I do love this youtube channel, i watch every episode in your channel, and i love all of them. Thank you Niels!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome!! 😄👍🏼

[@WorldofPoolandBilliards]

What an important topic. Great knowledge here as always. Thanks Niels!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You got it! Enjoy 💪🏼😄

[@rickmiller9368]

Ok ok ok…. At the 9:59 mark you call the “push out” and for whatever reason, it hit my funny bone and I laughed for about 5 min. All I can say is this…. I’m calling the push out the exact same way from here on out!!!!! Hahahahaha. Hey I’m just teasing…. Great video Neils, as you know, this was a super weak point in my game till we worked on it, now it’s a strength although I still get twisted when I don’t have a shot on that 1 ball.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hahahaha yes many players even on tv sometimes forget to call the push out 😂🤷‍♂️

[@kash332]

Great editing with talking over the scenarios and then playing the video you are talking about

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it 👍🏼😄

[@nakke3]

One skill needed here is the ability to "push" the cb accurately without using the rails. I've sometimes pushed the cb couple of laps near the rails around the table trying to make the cb travel exactly to the next diamond. Your friends might think you've gone mental for practising too much, but found it useful for push-out purposes or some touchy safeties 😄

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes I agree. Under pressure pushing to one spot in the table a foot or more away is not easy!

[@hanspw]

Very powerful tips Niels. Thx 👍👌

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Hans!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼😄

[@keithkruger7270]

Niels, your depth of topics continues to be top notch. I've never seen anyone else post a strong video of the strategy of pushing out. Great content as always.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you Keith! Please share 🙏🏻😄👍🏼

[@djsuss552]

Thank you, Neils! So powerful and often overlooked. Love your channel and content. If you’re ever in the Virginia/DC area, please stop by Street Lights Billiards Academy. I’d love to see you play, and even take a lesson (or two)!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Suss! Will keep it in mind 👍🏼👍🏼

[@LaCaroratcha]

I am not really good at Bank Shots, never know how to aim and calculate. Maybe you could do a video 'bout that? :)

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Carolin, there’s two bank pool Videos on the channel 👍🏼👍🏼😄 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2a3pIB-ha2ckNU kzbin.info/www/bejne/onTSenV-r95rj6c

[@robertgould8099]

Thumbs up! I love defensive pool as I would guess that my defensive pool/safeties helps me win many games.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

It does! Both are important. Offensive to run out and defense to create those chances 👍🏼💪🏼😄

[@apexpredatorbilliardstraining]

Because of you I have so much confidence in my practice session... This is more power to my game... Surely my opponents who fails to learn this will feel the pain. Thanks Niels ....

[@busterbuster1641]

Hey Niels. Could you do something on rail shots and also bridging when the cueball is close to the rail? For me it's a real issue.

[@tesha199]

The main thing with these shots is getting your bridge hand as low as it makes sense to prevent the cue ball from having too much swerve. If you're playing soft, try to hit as straight as possible without spin, because the cue ball can roll a lot into side when played slowly with side spin. In general, each of these shots is a story of its own, so try to analyse pre-shot whether your bridge hand is firm (isn't shaking up-down, or in a way that makes your cue tip go left-right due to restrictions in movement), and also analyse does it feel comfortable how your playing arm moves (and make slight adjustments in your feet, hips, elbow to get your playing arm into smooth movement). Cheers

[@ATrainGames]

Great stuff. This is an aspect of the game I haven't done much work on as yet. And since I don't have a jump cue, I prefer the kick shots. In example #3, I think I would have tried to push into a jump OR kick shot from behind the 6 ball (again, knowing your opponent is key). Thanks as always, Coach Niels! :D

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome mate! Please share 💪🏼😄👍🏼

[@nuggers23]

I think it is really the first time I see advice on this topic. Thanks T!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome!👍🏼👍🏼

[@DaneliusUK]

Enjoyed it, thank you.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome! 🙏🏻👍🏼😄

[@juansosa644]

Very good ideas!!! Thanks

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome! 👍🏼😄

[@aloiskomenda9154]

This is the first tutorial dedicated to the Push Out that I come across. Thank you! Will you teach us how to make a frustrated grimace after pushing out in the next episode? ;) How do you decide when not to push out although there is no open shot on the one-ball?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

All depends on your ability to execute the shot I front of you 👍🏼😄 think of it like %

[@ianmastrangelo2427]

Great video Niels!! I think this is a strategic situation in 9 and 10 ball that newer players struggle a lot with, and even intermediate level players. I really like how you categorized each section. Another good strategic video idea, in my opinion, would be about scenarios where an intentional foul is the best option for both rotation and 8 ball :) Keep it up, I've been using your drills almost exclusively and every now and then using some slight adaptations to suit my skill level. I can definitely say that they have helped tremendously, I'm having my best 8 ball season that I've ever had right now in my local league and I had my best 9 ball season last year as well. Your drills absolutely produce results, thank you so much!

[@lesterweinheimer665]

Very helpful video thanks a lot man. And thanks for all your hard work making these videos

[@casper3509]

Wow!!! Thank you so much Niels! 👍 🍻

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

great video idol..thanks for sharing it to us

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You got it Kim 👍🏼😄🙏🏻

[@erickort1987]

Niels The Terminator Feijen at the town i live at now, for the summer league 8 ball push outs and saftys are allowed

[@shawjoe71]

Great video.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thank you Joe!!

[@fckgrtlr8441]

Hey Niels, thank you for all the amazing stuff you have been uploaded. My game has improved a lot and I've won 9 of 11 games in my league. But there is a game I'm still struggling: 14/1 So I wonder if you can do one (or more?) videos where you explain the most common mistakes and what you have to know. My average is 3-4 and my highest series is less than 30😭

[@davegreen1104]

Great stuff! Tell us more!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Cheers Dave 😄🙏🏻

[@3960xRocks]

This is a very confusing rule for me. If I play a tough push out shot, my opponent can make me play again so I'm just making things harder for myself. If I don't play a tough push out shot, my opponent can elect to play, so I lose the advantage. I'm struggling trying to understand how this could benefit me if my opponent gets to decide who plays next. Could you explain please Niels?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Well, it's an option you can choose when your first ball is a tough shot you would probably miss or when you are even snookered on your first shot. Then, instead of going 3 rails around just to try and hit the ball, you can place the cueball in a position where you can play a safe/jump or just a less harder shot. You have to consider, that your opponent has to right to take the shot or to give it back to you. So don't leave the shot to easy ;)

[@3960xRocks]

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen That's my point. Your opponent gets to decide. Aren't you just basically gambling that you're going to put the cueball in such a place that your opponent won't be able to make the next shot but that you will? In order to do that, you need to have prior knowledge about your opponents strengths and weaknesses. So for example, if I know I'm good at jumping and I know my opponent isn't, I can force a jump shot on the next move. Same applies to banking, or swerves or any other method of play. Understanding all of the above, I fail to see what tactics you can employ that are actually realistically helpful when making a push shot. I'm not questioning you, I'm questioning the rule itself. It seems a bit pointless.

Hi Niels, would like to have 1-1 pools lessons if there is a possibility. please write me.

[@MrWiz514]

Terminator, I am a huge fan of your play and your instructional videos, I am very much considering your college courses. I always look forward to your instructional KZbin series because you consistently provide something new, or even better, provide a deeper understanding and perspective/consequences of some things that are already known; you flush out new info from timeless advice and provide your own analysis. As a student of the game I really appreciate that. This video got me out of my box because it reminded me of the only pool video I've ever posted, I pushed out to a jump and ran out on a 9' Brunswick, 4 1/4"pockets. I'm very glad you have addressed effective push-outs, it is a weak area that I find myself relying on creativity for rather than a good fundamentals like I just learned lol. idk if I'll get blocked but the video of my pushout is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5S2pJRsfpaafrs

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Wow brutal push out situation you were faced with. I see three tough options: - Push the 5 infront of the pocket line of the 4 and cue ball frozen on the rail for tough shot and position - push out behind the 4 for a jump - bank the 4 onto the 5 or 6 try to tie them up. 1 and 2 are probably best.

[@tesha199]

My opponent once refused to play the pushout I left him while leading 6:5 (race to 7), I potted almost straight 1 ball across the table, left myself a horrible position for 2, potted it in a crazy way and ran out that game and the next one. At the end, he was whining "Why did I let you play that pushout". 🤣🤣

[@hectorotani27]

😆

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏼

[@johnhill1030]

Or abolish such a senseless and hard to understand rule (from a viewers perspective) and force players to have to shoot out of a bad break and make the game more exciting and intriguing to new fans and players? Js

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Used to be even harder to understand with spot shots etc. I think it’s a nice add in to the game personally 👍🏼👍🏼😄
