NO DRAW SHOTS ALLOWED! | Comments Got Me Spooked! (APA 9 Ball)

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

On drawing in general: there’s an order to tip placement you might wanna try following. Prioritize rolling the ball (high ball) when you can for position, then roll with spin, then stun, then stun with spin, then draw, then draw with spin. Keep in mind the priority of these shots depend on what you can do at a higher percentage for the shot you’re on. Play your percentages. Sometimes drawing with outside going 1 rail is better than slamming and zig zagging the cueball 2 or 3 rails without draw. It’s all about percentages. If draw accomplishes it better, then draw the ball. On breaking: you’re playing triangle rack 1 on the spot 9 ball on a barbox. The PLP is template rack 9 on the spot big table. They’re drawing the ball cause they’re cutting the 1 from inside the break box and need the cueball to come back towards the pack off the long rail- not because drawing the ball is good for breaking. On the contrary, most of the time it’s not good for breaking. I have a video coming out soon on a 1 on the spot break while drawing the ball but you must be using a template rack. Breaking is a passion of mine- reach out if you have questions.

[@SenseiNatePlaysPool]

For this format, you should break from the side rail, cueball about a ball or so off the rail. Smack the 1 ball dead full with half a tip of top spin to hold the cueball in place. With a tight rack, you’ll make the same side wing ball in the corner, and the 1 ball goes 3 rails around and comes to rest for shape in the corner you’re breaking from. I guarantee, in this format, the pros are not drawing from the middle of the table while breaking. They’re gonna do the break I mentioned- EVERY TIME.

Here's the latest installment of...super late night pool commentary! And yes I know there is slop in 9 ball. forgive my 3am mistakes. Subscribe!!

[@wasexton]

Just FYI, BCA/CSI 9 Ball rules are just about the same. Slop is allowed in all 9 ball. It is 8 and 10 ball where called pockets are mandatory. From BCA rules: If a player pockets any ball on a legal shot, he remains at the table for another shot, and continues until he misses, fouls, or wins the game.

Thank you for making these videos brother! Enjoying your commentary, hope we get to see more videos! ❤

[@JamesPlaysPool]

Enjoying this video. With regards to Jayson's break at the PLP, the World Nineball Tour events have changed the rules for the break, in that it has to be within the break box and the 9 is on the spot instead of the 1. This means they all use a "cut-break" trying to make the 1 in the side and they stun the cue ball off the side rail to try to keep it in the middle of the table. With the 1 on the spot it's a little easier to make the wing ball in the corner, especially if you can break from the side rail. A little more old-school.

[@mikestuckey]

During that 5th rack when you were trying to get the 7ball to follow the 9ball, you'd want to put draw on the cue ball, even though you're trying not to this game lol. Draw on the cue ball with put follow on the object ball meaning the 7 had a better chance to follow the 9 in. Great job though! These videos are great!

[@bleearg13]

Just FYI, the official rules of 9 ball allow for slop - it is incredibly rare to have to call pockets in 9 ball. The only real differences between APA 9 ball rules and official 9 ball are the point system and lack of push after the break. Also - how Princess makes anything with how much she moves her cue around when she shoots is beyond me, but it works for her, I guess!

[@mikestuckey]

gotcha. yea unfortunately I was thinking “8 ball” when I first started the commentary 🤦🏾‍♂️ Yes i’ve mentioned it to her but that’s her style! She LOVES the game! Maybe more than me!

[@bleearg13]

@@mikestuckey Whatever gets the balls in the pockets!

[@lucianog7724]

To make the 7 ball drop after making the 9 ball you have to put bottom on the cue ball, which induces top (follow) on the object ball. Remember that the spin induce throw is opposite of the spin you put on the cue ball.

[@HereAfterBilliards]

Few things...you keep going back to your commentary...I think it's fire man. You have a calm and smooth delivery. You're seriously rocking it so keep it up. As for ads...KZbin shows ads on all videos these days. They were on yours before you were monetized. I say don't sweat it. It's part of life on the Tube lol. Also, certainly there were shots in this match where you desperately wanted to play bottom...and you said as much. I can think of one where you hammered it and achieved your shape. I understand that the camera angle might be deceiving but I think you had enough angle to play top and your result was proof of that. Try to have this mindset as you incorporate top and make your stroking options more diverse...think of the rails as speed buffers. Each time the cue ball touches a rail its power is diminished. Therefore you can use rails to control cue ball speed as it travels. It's a different mindset than when you're playing bottom. Keep going my friend...

[@mikestuckey]

wooo!! man I wish I could pin multiple comments because this is FIRE! This community is so freaking amazing!! Thanks for ALL OF THIS!!

[@KevinAndrewMan]

The five-ball bank at 24 mins, I think that needs low inside and ALOT of speed. There's a finesse version too. Also, slow drag-draw puts forward spin on the object ball to have it follow in after a ball in the pocket (provided the angle is right). A nice tool to have for overly defensive 8-ball players.

[@mikestuckey]

yes sir!! great analysis!!

[@mattdevico5747]

Just FYI, BCA 8 ball is a called pocket game. In APA 8 ball slop is allowed. In 9 ball, slop is always allowed regardless of ruleset, even in professional play. Also, regarding the bank shot on the 5, you are correct. More speed makes the object ball come back straighter off the rail. I think you would have made it just by hitting it a bit harder. Nice shooting. Keep up the good work.

[@mikestuckey]

thanks matt!

[@reecelewis6377]

Man I think you are doing a great job on your commentary work a yes on the shooting part I have always been told about the shot shooting low is for show and shooting high is for the dough

[@scottvanwye6533]

Bank at the top of 24:00 To avoid a double kiss, you have to aim to bank the 5 past the side pocket while adding check side to tighten the bank up. I think this gives the cue ball enough of an angle to get out of the way while sending the 5 ball toward the pocket.

[@cj-ef1rp]

You played really well, as did Princess. On your break, bottom is not why you’re breaking well. It’s due to squarely hitting the 1 ball. English has NO effect until the cue ball hits a rail. In fact, adding bottom on the break increases your chance of scratching in the side pocket (14:15). In the first rack, BIH shot on the 2, more of a back cut angle widens the rebound off the side rail sending you towards the 3, and avoids hooking behind the 4. In the third rack, BIH on the 8, place the cue one diamond up so you have an inbound angle. Use high inside English and send the cue ball two rails towards the 9. You avoid a scratch potential, and you get all the room/angle you need to get off the rail.

[@mikestuckey]

wow! so much value here ha! man i’ve got endless video ideas with your comments!

[@cj-ef1rp]

You mentioned watching Jayson Shaw break with bottom side English. That’s because he’s playing 9 on the spot and from the break box.its not as effective with 1 on the spot. They use that approach to make the 1 in the side, and send cue ball off side rail back into the stack to carom the 9. Avoid using too much bottom with 1 on the spot.

slight left on the cue to get the 5 to come back straighter

[@cosc137]

[@dumbref1459]

Sorry, but there are times for draw imho. Your shot at 13:40, try putting the ball about the second diamond, about two balls off the shot rail for angle, apply low right (5 o’clock); brings the cue ball toward the third diamond on the long rail, speed obviously is a key but anything in the direction of the third diamond gives you a shot on the 9.

[@cj-ef1rp]

Besides the option of guest commentary, run video of you at home (or at the hall) and practicing. If at home, do it live, and get input from some contributors. Do it under a membership and you can help filter the input that way. Get ideas for good drills, and feedback from folks watching you live. I think your commentary style is outstanding. Great vocal tone, smooth demeanor, no affect in your vocabulary. I also have to commend you on your verbal sportsmanship and complimenting your opponent. I play better when my opponent plays better. Not always as much fun if they wax me, but I enjoy watching them play well (consolation prize). Always keep in mind, every shot makes someone happy…

@23:55, To avoid the double kiss, I would apply a lot of left english on the cue ball, putting right english on the 5. Now you can slightly over cut the 5 avoiding the double kiss and the right english would straighten out the 5.

[@richardelbon9628]

[@mathbum33]

5 in the cross-side= you needed top+inside, that works for the soft touch and gets the cue ball put of the way. You're correct that the added speed sharpens the rebound, but the 5 was gonna hot the rail in the skide zone so you dont want to hit that hard he will blow out of control everytime.

[@cloudymind-8732]

24:00 to answer your question top is like hitting it hard it narrows the angle. Bottom widens like hitting it softer so gives you a way to balance it out.

[@cloudymind-8732]

It's also opposite for kicks, kicks top widens bottom narrows.

[@richb8291]

I get the gist of the idea of playing a whole match with no draw, but in reality it needs to be a shot you have in your bag at any given time so to not properly use it where needed, like at 16:40 to get from the 4 to 5, is a worse idea. You had a good opportunity to stun the cue down for a better position on the 5 using bottom left, but instead compensated with a ton of top which left you in a worse position. Also, I just heard you say "I'm not getting better by playing league nights", which is probably true. League matches aren't for getting better, they're for playing your game using your shots that you know. You're only going to get better by practicing with better players who A) you trust and B) are comfortable helping to teach you by playing countless matches and communicating openly with you. I'm an SL5 in 8 ball and play with another good 5 who's been playing years longer than me, a good 6 who has a long bar shooting background and mentality, and a really good 6 who's been playing forever who I might be able to beat 10-20% of the time. My game play has dramatically improved over the past year just from playing with them almost every weekend, on top of Monday league where we are always talking about our play, even in between innings. It also helps to have your own table and I have hundreds of games on mine over the past few years, but it wasn't until I really started paying attention and talking to higher level players where I truly started to realize gains.

@@mikestuckey In the past year, I started playing more safes when I knew I had a good chance of a lock down safety, and I started to get a lot more ball in hands. Especially when I am down and not playing as well as I should, it helps me get back into the game, or helps me pull away when I am ahead. @23:40 there was a lock down hitting the right side of the 4 and putting the cue ball either right on the rail behind the 5 or right behind the 8.
