As a former shortstop who retired for 12 years, I listen to you from time to time to keep my unconscious loaded with good habits and I THANK YOU for that opportunity-as I’m only able to play a few weeks every 4 months. I truly wish you would do a Halloween edition in which you emulate Paul Bearer, I’m telling you it would be a total gas and reach so many! Love your open mind and how you put thoughts into words. “Playing with reckless abandonment” is a goal for us all, as stress is the lack of control and open freedom can allow us such a liberating and empowering time at the table.

This lesson has immediately brought me back to pre-Covid form, possibly even better. I’ve suffered balance issues since getting the virus and couldn’t naturally see the angle of the object ball anymore. Your “chin lock” and and “approach” technique before my practice strokes and “set” has has given me a surefire way to know I’m in alignment even when my brain is telling me different from the Covid side effects. Thanks!

Great tips. I'm a very solid player, (8-9 speed) but I am rusty because I took a 10-year break. And I'm finding things just don't always feel right, so I'm having to go back to the basics. This was very helpful. Ive found the front foot needs to be pointed parallel or close to parallel to the shot line.

My record is 55 balls without a miss and no ball in hand (closed eyes). Just play from the position. This drill is best for those who can't stand still during the shot. When u close ur eyes and shoot u never move ur head up. This drill 30 mins every day helps u standing still. It helped me a lot 👌

I am 66 years old and I wish I had this info and the benefit of this instruction when I was younger. I am currently a 7 in APA Nine ball but I feel like I am a weaker 7 than most. I have only shot APA for a year. I would have been a strong 7 and maybe even a mid level 8 when younger even though I lacked this knowledge and consistency. I only found your videos 2 weeks ago and already it has improved my game. Thanks much.

Love this video. I'm a golf coach & instructor so don't get to play pool as much as I'd like to. I'm right eye dominant. You talk about putting the right side of your shoe on your shot line. What if you turn your feet out a little? My right foot would be across my shot line not parallel to or alongside it. Thanks for your help!
@poolteacher2 жыл бұрын
It’s a very precise thing. Vision center is the best answer. You have to do several tests and then work on your foot placement to be sure your vision center is on the shot line. Everything I posted in the video is general information. Will not be perfect for everyone. Love to have you in my online class. Call me at 606-669-8401 for a free consultation.

Make sure your stroke is appropriately long for each shot and that your grip is far back enough that it’s not restricted in Y-axis movement. That Y-axis tension with a straight aiming line and follow through will keep your stroke from deviating

Try running your cue across your chest lightly when you stroke. If you hold the cue in place against your chest the stroke should be true.

I also noticed that when you were shooting the 15 balls, at address, your forearm wasn't hanging vertically from your elbow therefore your right hand was in front of vertical from your elbow. Yet, it works for you. I'd like your thoughts please.

Shift the aim point in the direction of the throw. (On object ball). Outside English, thinner hit. Inside English, thicker hit. Speed will change this, only practice develops your feel for it.
