Have to say, excellent chanel. Thanks, much appreciated 👍🎱

[@PoolSchool]

Thanks, glad you like it 🎱

Good stuff. Had to use the end pocket once and pulled it off. Looks great in game! Middle pocket contact I find to be much more unpredictable!

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers. Yeah they’re only last resort shots really, but handy to be aware of. You’re right the middle pocket one is very hard to get right.

I love taking these shots any chance I can get, just for fun, but I never really thought about the wood of the cushion.

[@sonicdiablo8968]

Very good video. I always wondered about these kind of shots. Was this inspired by that recent snooker escape by Louis Heathcote by any chance?

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers. No I’d not seen that. Just looked it up though, that’s some shot!!!

Do you have any tips and drills for centre pocket potting? A weak area for me.

[@PoolSchool]

I’m not really sure what you mean? Do you mean when you aim to pot a ball centre pocket it’s not going in the centre? Or do you mean when you should not aim for the centre of the pocket (from certain angles etc.)

[@stevejones3180]

@@PoolSchool I just miss centre pocket pots too often.

[@PoolSchool]

In that case it’s either that you are lining up wrong, not cueing straight, or not allowing for “throw” (depending on the angle of the shot). To see if it’s your cueing (which is most common), just line up some dead straight pots and see if you make them consistently to the centre. If you’re not, are you always missing to the same side? There are lots of things that could be wrong with your cueing so impossible for me to say what. Try videoing yourself (in slow motion if you can) and that might show you some faults. Look for things like: Staying down on the shot Keeping your head still Following through Cue going off to the side

I love your videos but more importantly, I love how you explain things. I could watch 100 videos of the same thing but it sinks in when you explain it. I don't know why. Was wondering, could you do videos or a series of "practice routines" for Beginners, intermediates, and advanced and maybe a way to check the progress? That is if you don't have the videos already. :p

[@bobnificent]

More to this: If I have a table all to myself. What should I be practicing If I'm a beginner, intermediate, or advanced? For how long do I practice a particular thing, drill, etc a day/time What should I do, Mon, Tues, Wed, Frid, Sat, Sun. How would I know, I'm a beginner, intermediate or advanced? Could there be a set of drills, if passed I move to advanced drills? Just beating up my friends could just stagnant my game 😁

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers, nice to know that my explanations make sense. I have made several practice drill videos and they are all grouped together in a playlist here kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5PWpHp3ismbb5Y In terms of grading them for beginners, intermediates and advanced I think that's very difficult to quantify. There are some very simple drills (like the line up for example) which may seem like a beginner drill but it can be easily adjusted to make it progressively difficult. The best way to gauge improvement and to judge if a drill is too easy or too hard for you is to keep a record. Each time you practice keep a score card and do each drill maybe 10 times. By working out an average score for the session you should see an approvement in that score over the weeks if you are progressing. Also if you are getting a maximum score everytime then that drill is obviously too easy for you and you need to add an element that makes it more challenging. For example, just with the line up you can do: 1. Any ball in any order 2. All the yellows at one end first then all the reds 3. Alternate the balls in the line and then pot all of one colour then the other. 4. As above but the white ball has to hit a cushion after every shot. 5. As per No.3 but the white ball is not allowed to hit a cushion at any point. As you can see there is always ways to make things more difficult. You want to find a challenge level that doesn't feel impossible but also that you can't do every single time without thinking. Again in terms of how much and how often you practice it just depends what you want to achieve and how much time you have. Even the amount professionals practice varies massively. I can't really answer that question other than to say the more you can practice the better!
