Pool Lesson: Bottom Spin On The Cue Ball & Giveaway Winner!!!!!!

[@johnharrison8807]

Hey, Chris, this is John so pumped I won a new cue! I've never heard of a drag shot before. But certainly, need to practice this, I've lost games playing this shot wrong and leaving me a tough bank or cut shot. Keep up the great work.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Thank you so much for getting back to me! I was starting to get a little worried! ;-) I've responded to your email! :-)

[@stevenmattiola1494]

John Harrison congratulations on winning

[@11Ender11]

I live for this guy’s intense one liners after teaching a skill. Top tier

[@jaypruitt4213]

Very helpful videos, especially for someone that didn't play for 30 years. Thanks for the time and effort that you have put into them.

[@jsssj3887]

Although I have been playing pool for many years, watching your videos made me realize that I was just hitting the cue ball around. With your explanations, I have been able to pocket the balls consistently and actually understand my mistakes. Great videos and looking forward for more.

[@albertoalcaraz5098]

A very helpful to a beginners like me your videos. Thanks and more power.

[@Prasannakumar-yk7bf]

Lovely visuals on back spin.

[@gnburk]

By a wide margin, the best pool tutorials on KZbin. Thank you Lil' Chris

[@kellyflynn6748]

Thanks for the information. It is helpful to see you in action.

[@mireimagesvideos2333]

Working hard to learn spinning the cue ball effectively and your videos are worth watching over and over again. Thanks.

[@alanbrandt4677]

So glad I found your site. I haven't played for over 50 years. Your excellent instruction will help to learn and improve my game immensely. My son just bought a pool table and we have family nights there. It is a great feeling to make my shots but even more, to better understand why I am successful and why I am not. I will keep returning to learn more. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you so much.

[@renelamy733]

Very comprehensive instructional video. I have watched lots of videos, but have never subscribed until now. Keep them coming. Thank you.

[@afiatoot1]

wow..... you are awesome. Many don't tell the simple things that are needed to get it right. Guess those are the trade tricks.

[@armikmuson5191]

U are a great teacher - any time i learn something new from lesson ! Keep making such vids about the billiard.

[@TheSmilermike]

Hi Chris, Just want to say out of all the videos I watch yours always seem to make sense and easy to understand. keep up the good work!

[@olavodias]

I definitely agree !!

[@weiminshen6932]

I like the example in cutting shot, how far back spin takes effect along the tention line is depends on how hard you strike. Excellent and really helpful.

[@garybailey6675]

Hey Chris. I found your teaching more interesting and easier to understand. I admire your teaching skills. When am practicing, I can see and feel the difference. Keep up the good work Chris and thank you.

[@thegodofpez]

You’re about to be at 100k subscribers. Congratulations!

[@tomfisher3117]

Your teaching videos are excellent. You have an ability to communicate succinctly. It's a valuable ability. Thanks for using it to teach this game.

[@crodz530]

Follow through is important too.

[@josephpaquette3781]

I am learning so much from your videos. You are a great teacher. Thank you.

[@Andi-gu8ry]

learning a very good technique from you ... 👍👍 I like....

[@joenathan7392]

I tell you what Chris, of all the instructional pool content I watch you are by far the most in depth while being very easy to follow. Easily my favorite out there. Keep being great, and thank you.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I appreciate that!

[@chackoulahannan6991]

Wonderful lesson. Thanks a lot.

[@jacqueslapalme4962]

jacques lapalme...love this game, like your videos the most of all the others on you tube....at 71 Im still learning....like your formats....thank you, my game has gotten better....happy holidays

[@charc.7819]

Hey Lil Chris,,, just want you to know I have been watching your videos for the last few weeks, watching what ever I see! I do appreciate your videos and your way of explaining things I never thought about! I had learned many little things over the last 48 years of playing but I do believe you leading the way will now give way to new shots that I will learn to master!! (Maybe) Thank you!!

[@jonsirockman]

really enjoying the setup of these videos. the way you break it down is nice and straightforward. no need to get the math involved like some videos do. can't wait for more.

[@michaelschneider-]

+1. .. Great billiard tutorials. .. Recently resurrected our 9' Gold Crown III, new K-55 rubber finished with green Simonis. .. Becoming familiar with the game after a decade or more of a blind eye. .. Again, great tutorials - subscribed

[@mohameddjilani4109]

I'm from Algeria I started seeing your videos 2 weeks ago and they're improving my games Thanks Keep going

[@bird80]

Very nice! I really like how you put these videos together, Chris. Nice production and editing. And thanks for showing us a little about the drag shot. I was surprised to see my comment in your video, lol. Take care buddy, and keep up the good work!

[@SemperVictor1120]

your video tutorials are very informative and it gives logic to my instinctual shots and nowni understand how they work better.. thanks chris.. hopefully i get lucky to get a stick too...God bless

[@leofreedom1441]

Thank you. Great lesson

[@MXPX619]

Thanks Chris for these videos. I'm above average when it comes to bar going folk but every now and then I run into guys that are semi legit and can make me look dumb or toy with me. I get the feeling that they know I'm not as good as they are and that they could run the table if I mess up. So I'm calling for backup to hone my skills beyond just the geometry and instinct. You explain things very well and this is super helpful to help me put up a fight and possibly win!

[@SamuL147]

Good action draw Like the medium Speed draw will take the cue ball to direction 3x the original angle. Point the cue in straight line with the object balls ghost ball that is heading to the pocket. Then measure the cue ball - object ball angle and add two more exact angles to the direction the cue ball is heading and you are pretty close the truth where cue ball will head in draw shot. When the distance rises it also comes very difficult to estimate the path because you have to pound the ball hard enough to maintain the draw

[@kennyplopper1]

Great videos Chris. I've learned a lot watching them. I appreciate it

[@johncosta2074]

Chris many thanks love learning from a pro

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I am not a pro, but thank you so much for the compliment! 😊

[@soniaagrawal5857]

Hey I learnt side side spin from your video . Thank you

[@sidperry770]

Great video. Really liked the cue by shot length.

[@cralvertos]

I have been struggling a lot with the draw shot. I only get stop shots, and when I hit lower I miscue or make the cue ball jump. really disappointing. Great video Chris, thanks!

[@victorgurrola8124]

I appreciate the way you explain each training video, I have been taught by many different level shooters and you bar far are very clear and understandable. I use draw on many shots and I am told by all but one player not to use so much draw. I enjoy the position game and realize how effective it can be when applied correctly. I have made mistakes but have gotten much better with when, where and how to work with the draw, your video will be very helpful on my continued use

[@az91599]

Nice work!! I really like that you explain that you can't really learn to play pool without putting hours in training. Almost everyone else says that if you do that you'll get that but no one really explains that in order to learn to make certain shots and know the outcome you need to get the feel of it. Keep up the great work 👌👌

[@cephusr2500]

Thanks for the new video it's helpful as always !! Congratulations to John on the new cue !!

[@s1mpletop]

You just taught me so much, I'm ready for the works tournament.

[@michaelmacleod1305]

Thanks for another great lesson. I am looking forward to many more.

[@williamcavolt203]

Too good ...man !

[@motomoran8173]

Another great tutorial and I really appreciate you and what you're doing.

[@erniejohnson8200]

Sure wish I'd seen this twenty years ago. Can't wait to apply your technique.

[@stanfordcurtis5533]

Thanks Chris my game has went to another levl

[@trudoug]

You're the latest teaching videos I've seen. Your lessons give me clues to my ultimate goal... bridge, aim, shoot, thanks!

[@neilbutiongvlogs]

Thanks chris for the video... It really helped me make these shots a lot easier... Looking forward for more learnings from you

[@tomferguson9922]

Hey, Chris. You probably have seen Dr. Dave's website that provides vast number of videos, articles and technical proofs. Dr Dave is a Mechanical Engineer professor at Colorado State University. I know you being a software engineer loves the technical info. For of us pool lovers who can never stop learning, thanks again. Keep the videos coming.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I love Dr. Dave's channel and am one of his subscribers. As a engineer, myself, I love the way he breaks things down in his video! :-)

[@drpeemac]

Excellent..............

[@stevenmattiola1494]

Chris Great video today

[@davehatzakorzian6994]

Hey congratulations John good luck with the new cue 👍

[@eloycalasang]

Would love to see a follow through shots with explanation, anyways today's content was great. i know how to backspin but the problem is how to bckspin with a long shot. Congratulation to the winner of the raffle mr. John

[@pranksfailsetc311]

that's one HELLUVA backspin Sir, I can only make it backup when fairly close never on long shots and the backspin is nowhere near the one you get. I'll try this!

[@TheCicakfly]

Nice videos, although I can do most shots without much problems but I don't have the skills to explain them, ur videos help me to explain to my newbie friends in pool...

[@omairalhamlei8038]

You are the best really

[@ChrisWiley77]

I look forward to more videos. Hopefully this will help me become a better player

[@vkalfabun]

Nice video Lil' Chris! Now I'm getting some new tricks on how to use a bridge hand and an open bridge hand to hit the cue ball and congrats to John Harrison for winning that raffle.

[@jonathanbrae3622]

Great stuff here, Chris! Long-shot-with-draw...yes...my problem child.

[@jameswilliams6914]

hey Chris love the videos. you are teaching alot of things about pool. my question is I am learning that the distance from the stick and the cue makes a difference on how the cue ball works. i dont remember if you said anything about that in the video.if I am wrong I'm sorry, just thought you might explain if I missed it. thank you for what you do in pool, it's helping me a lot watching you.

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

I'll eventually explain that in a "Power Draw" video. The shorter distance between bridge hand and cue ball plays a factor in executing a "good" draw shot, because it naturally allows for a longer follow through.

[@rq-190]

Best teacher ❤ Thank you You helped me so much

[@SwedishGlobetrotter]

Love your pool learning videos. They are so pedagogical. Cheers

[@cowboyup545]

Great Video, Picked up a lot on the back spin Thanks A lot.

[@Itzfury21]

I am learning a lot from you brother keep it up !! & thank you man

[@georgedennis2112]

Hi Chris. I just started watching your video's and my first time out with my pool club had me feeling and playing better. My question is "I'm rather short and would appreciate a video on using the bridge. Especially when shooting from a position near the center or hard to reach". Thanks and I'll be looking for your instructions. Stay well. George

[@anthonyoneill3314]

Thanks a million

[@jerryyale7084]

Thanks for the info

[@brianbast3836]

Very informative

[@yato329]

just binged like 6 videos, and i feel like my game is about to jump up a level

[@dalemura358]

Nice video!

[@wokorachsolomon8877]

you made me a star of my area i love you bro

[@allgood6760]

Nice demo👍🇳🇿

[@aaronwhite2087]

I can never watch enough how to pool videos !! Lol a diamond table will soon be mine! Nice direction on your bridge I just found out why I dont get the draw I want most of the time . Thanks!

[@michaelschneider-]

I'm curious about your Diamond table choice over that of a good used 9' Gold Crown III or other versions? The Diamond as you know is a top tier table with a claim to fame of having an uber short setup / dismantle time cycle; not much else. Not mocking any Diamond owners, simply asking about the choice over one or the other. .. Cheers, M/S

[@johnstellalutter9263]

I always like your videos, so easy to follow.

[@kacpergasior4948]

This video was great! I'd love to see more videos about positional play and maybe a video how to make a que ball jump over the object ball, because I still can't learn it 😅

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

All in due time 😉

[@mrnighthawk285]

Great content , hope you demonstrate the difference left and right spin makes on the same shot for better que ball positioning👍

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

mrnighthawk285 Yes sir! That’s the next lesson!

[@gmoops8986]

In the last example, why not use center cue and control with power(or lack of)? It works either rail first or second. A soft smooth stroke can be quite useful. I use speed control as much as top/bottom spin to work for the position. I've won lots of beers this way. My opponent strikes overly hard and tries to use excessive side spin for control(I guess to impress beginners).

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

Mark D Though you’re not wrong, what you’re describing is not “drag shot” and a “drag shot” is what I wanted to demonstrate.

[@raunakkapoor7419]

Hi Chris, you have a very lucid style of explaining the fundamentals. Can you also cover left/right spins to control the ball travel. When to use such spins and how to aim!!

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

That's in the works

[@steveconnelly9207]

Hey Chris. I love watching your videos. Talking about controlling the cue ball with English, how much influence does the softness of the cue tip matter to the control of the cue ball, especially on the draw shot?

[@elpresidente3356]

Thanks Lil' Chris!

[@stevemarion9591]

You should make a video on cte, your the best!

[@jonathanliu5047]

Thanks for the videos, love the content. Can you make a follow up video on how to properly follow through on draw shots?

[@johnmiles3082]

“Forward is not the way the cue ball can go “😎😎😂😂

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

"Forward is not the ONLY way the cue ball can go" 😉

[@gs8777]

I could run drills on that table for days. It's so purrrty. Also, you a software developer too?? Holy smokes!

[@tipiandy694]

Chris... I would like you to clearly explain 8 ball International pool rules please... ❤ Love from Scotland.

[@robie4200]

Can u pls do a video about gearing English. I can't find much on it. Love your videos.

[@kanyerezironald4215]

Nice lesson

[@kanyerezironald4215]

But l have tried to download the video but failed

[@james3339]

Excellent video and congrats to John 😀

[@darwinrapio5503]

how about the long shot back spin..how hard i will hit the cue ball? could you demonstrate sir lil?

[@jenlee9405]

i like the cue

[@malakiyahamari8448]

Thanks bruh I was looking exactly for this information! Thanks allot!

[@malakiyahamari8448]

I was wondering why I was always scoop jumping the cue ball. I hate that. Definitely gonna try this out. Thanks.

[@buddharmt]

Dr dave has a few great vids on how to predict the draw shot. Good vid though

[@bsdiceman]

so the harder you hit a cut angle shot with consistent bottom spin, the further along the tangent line path it will travel before being drawn back off by the backspin? also can you address how different cut angles, from glancing shot to almost full face shots create different cue ball paths depending on top spin, slide or bottom spin?

[@seancollins9745]

One thing left out here is that tip diameter really alters applied English, it is much easier to use apply English with a smaller diameter tip, however aim becomes more critical as the smaller diameter tip makes accuracy harder.

[@Spurs2k23]

Moved up to a 5 since watching you and Tor's vids, and have been winning 90% of my matches as a 5 beating 6's and 7's pretty comfortably over the last 2 sessions. My control has gotten a much needed improvement, but for the life of me.....I can never draw from very far. The cue ball always seems to drag (not roll) across the tables when it makes contact hence doesn't do much after shot is made (pretty much dies or moves an inch or two).....still trying to figure out why cue ball seems to skid for my draw shots when at a distance

[@LilChrisPoolPlayer]

It sounds like you're describing drawing from long shots? Do you have a problem drawing the CB far on shorter shots? If your issue is with long shots, only 2 things come to mind: 1. You're not hitting low enough on the CB. 2. You're not hitting fast enough. If you think you're hitting low enough, try an make ABSOLUTE sure that you're not accidently coming up due to fear of miscuing. If you're not hitting fast enough, that's just practice.

[@Spurs2k23]

@@LilChrisPoolPlayer Yeah short draws are ok, dont have much trouble most of the time, but anything from half table length, it becomes a problem. Might be a mental thing as you mentioned of being afraid to miscue with so much more power needed

[@backyardbilliards101]

Thanks

[@mattingle4286]

Hey Chris. I have just stumbled across your channel very recently, and I find your videos very informative. I was wondering what effect would the cue ball have if you were playing a cut shot in which the object ball was up against the cushion, and using draw spin? Also, could you explain the cue ball effects of using bottom left and bottom right spins? I would like to learn this. Thanks.

[@sujonmiya6093]

Good

[@yusefnj9319]

brilliant vid man. Really improving my game. thanks xD
