"Here we are 50 minutes later". Happens to even the pool demi gods, too, I guess. Nice when you guys are honest and open about this stuff, as you seem to ALWAYS be. It is a good character trait. ;-) This 'drill' looks both fun and very profitable. It is nice when such practice isn't always stuff that is so boring it tends to make your eyes cross, as some of the practice that works specific areas of difficulty hard sometimes is. Necessary, but tedious. One of the best parts of these videos here is when you go through your thinking process, especially when a problem arises. The 'good things could happen ifs' are extremely important to learn, as everything in pool is calculating percentages and then executing the plan properly, when you get down to it. And both seem to be of nearly equal importance, at some rising level of proficiency. The contact point graphic is an excellent example of a picture is worth a bunch of words, as well, and totally innocuous to the flow of the video. That works really well. Your walking back reaction on the straight in result on the second to last ball was funny. You could read in the, "Well, there's 15 more minutes of my life gone trying to finish this video'. Rest assured, if that runout were my goal, the time frame would be more like a month, or maybe longer.

Usually when I play the one pocket ghost, I use a cut break where I cross the rack. At least on the equipment I’ve played it on, it tends to open up balls without extreme clusters but can still favor 1 pocket. Love seeing this kind of content on your channel my friend.

First i hit the like button and then i watch the video. Thanks Niels for your great videos. Always something to learn

Hi Niels! I have been playing one pocket for only a couple years now and love the game, it’s really all I wish to play these days. I can confirm that cue ball control definitely goes way up after a while only having one pocket to score in. My banks have been improving as well. My only critique for this drill is that I wouldn’t want to practice a break that consistently puts a ball in front of my “opponents” hole. I’d probably forget which was which under pressure and sell out a shot in a real match! Keep up the good work 👍

Good stuff and GREAT runout! 🎱💪

[@jasonnetherton2878]

C player -10 to 15 balls!!!!! hahahahahaha! I love your enthusiasm Niels. "A"players would be hard pressed to run 15 balls in one pocket consistently. IMO. Love your channel.

[@Captain1Pocket]

I think he was saying out of 5 racks. Pros will make 45 balls in 5 racks into one pocket. I usually run 4 to 7 balls in one pocket and occasionally 10 or 11. Rarely do I run 14 or 15. I break using the traditional break though.

[@jasonnetherton2878]

@@Captain1Pocket Thank you for the clarification

Hello! Wanna set up a pool table in my room to practice myself. Would a 9ft table fit in my 3.7mx4.9m room

[@Captain1Pocket]

14 ft x 18 ft. Minimum

[@chrisneumayer4821]

Is there a version to practice the safety game?

[@Captain1Pocket]

You can play back and forth against yourself switching pockets every other shot. Start over when you make a ball. You can also practice playing "First ball" against a opponent. Rack all 15 balls. Alternate breaks, first person to make a ball wins that game. You can also use one ball frozen to the middle foot rail. First person "breaks" but can't shoot directly to their hole on the first shot. So you end up playing "end game" safeties. Have fun. A good run out game is "3 ball" Rack the 3 balls on the spot and call your pocket. Break, take ball in hand and run just the 3 balls into your pocket.

Amazing as always, your videos is a treasure. I have one question and has to do with breathing while playing (shooting) often enough when Im deep in a rack 6-7 balls in I find my self short of breath. When im shooting im not breathing so it kind of accumulates and i end up rising my heart rate.. have you had anything related happen to you?

[@thestr33t41]

I really want to see you play snooker. I really want to hear your opinon on how do you feel about shooting, what's different etc. I think finding out about snooker from a pro billiard player is really interesting.

Love your stuff. But on your first rack you kept referring to the 12, but isn't the orange stripe the 13? And some of the cue ball English visuals seemed backwards. Just some feedback. (Maybe I'm seeing it wrong. Or it's the curse of the purple 5/13...)

[@Captain1Pocket]

Post your scores here! How many balls did you make in 5 racks??? I'll post my score here next week.

[@neverbiden9135]

You need to come about 5 in off the side rail use high inside spin and hit that 2nd ball full low speed

[@Skate4fooood]

...and Pagulayan level 55 balls in 5 racks lol
