SECRET TO STRAIGHT IN SHOTS

[@bicivelo]

And a slow backstroke and follow through 😊

[@txproudproudamerican9474]

I figured this out on my own about a month ago and it has improved my straight in shots by 50%. But, aiming at the bottom for other shots also helps greatly.

[@NIKON_KID]

@@txproudproudamerican9474 it does help a lot

[@mrsnookr]

Good 1

[@johnstorton]

I've noticed that a lot of pros aim low on the cue ball during their practice strokes. Now I know why.

[@NIKON_KID]

[@joedon1706]

Aim at the top of the ball. Works wonders.

[@joshuakelly997]

Like it thanks

[@NIKON_KID]

@@joshuakelly997 no problem. On my fb Nick De Leon NIKONKID I do it every Monday and post to YT every Tuesday

[@mutthius1]

I thought the advice was useless at first, but once I actually tried, my who game changed instantly. 😂 I just started, but I am also scratching in new ways.😢

[@dangoldenberg704]

Good stuff. Perhaps though think about either losing the intro or at least shortening it down greatly (it shouldn't be more than 5 seconds). Tips should be short videos which you do do. But when the video is only 2-3 minutes, a 30 second intro is taking up a great percentage of the video time.

[@thoreau5914]

I agree that the 30 second intro is too long. I realize it is an attempt to have a professional looking channel, but we don't come here for intro's. So many content creators even waste more time by opening their videos telling us what the video will be about when we already know that by having read the video title. That is why we clicked on it. Otherwise, great content and thanks for the tips.

[@benjaminvolant2469]

Completely agree

[@justinrutledge6090]

Whats your fargo?

[@NIKON_KID]

@@justinrutledge6090 740 plus and I am a signed WNT Player as well.

[@kvcroft8781]

What does Fargo have to do with sharing good information? You are using Fargo as a teaching standard which it is not, it is a playing average and percentage. Some of the best pool players in the world are not great at teaching.

[@justinrutledge6090]

@kvcroft8781 m I not aloud to ask a simple question? Talk about someone getting all in there personal feelings, don't put any words in mouth or speak for anyone but yourself.. sorry your feelings got so hurt over someone asking a simple question.

[@justinrutledge6090]

@kvcroft8781 also if someone calls themselves a "professional pool player" then they should have a fargo of 720 or higher as that's is what a real professional pool players is ranked an that has nothing to do with sharing or teaching. Once again sorry you got your feelings hurt over a question an try twisting things around like a Karen.

[@justinrutledge6090]

​@NIKON_KID congratulations on your achievements, that is amazing accomplishment that can only be achieved thru long hard hours of work much respect to you sir.

[@artdavydov]

Thanks for the tips Nick, but that intro is annoyingly long lol

[@inisolation6582]

Yep, probably the worst I have seen on any channel on YT, absolutely terrible. Just as well the content was ok but please don't use that intro again :)

[@NIKON_KID]

@@artdavydov working on different things. Appreciate the info. Thanks

[@almyers8074]

If you are not going to get to the point, No like, No sub.

[@dymondsystems]

Awful lot of unintentional right on those last 2. Not mis hitting will help more

[@artdavydov]

It's actually not the worst thing in the world to put a slight touch of left or right when playing straight ins, going for dead center is not very rewarding and error prone and you just take unintentional spin out of equation.

[@dymondsystems]

That much spin is miss hitting the cue ball. I didn’t say you can’t make it. Slower speed it skids. That the number one cause of skids, not dirty balls

[@jacobjones5269]

I’m sorry, but through 30 years of experience, my advice on all things pool is get a job.. lol..

[@NIKON_KID]

@@jacobjones5269 lol in the USA yes sir. But I like giving out tips to help players to get better.

[@driesdebackere5233]

Clearly never hitting center. Aiming left on the cue ball

[@NIKON_KID]

@@driesdebackere5233 as long as your lined up it doesn’t matter if you use right or left on the cue ball. Just showing another way to make it easy to shoot straight in shots

[@neechilus]

Nice. You know you place unwanted left hand side on your shots rights? Look at the red dots on the cue ball......

[@lukeknizley3830]

Even lots of pros have a couple revolutions on the cue ball because of unwanted spin. This guy still stopped the ball dead.

[@NIKON_KID]

@@neechilus with my method it doesn’t matter if I have left or right. As long as I’m lined up with my shaft to the ball. It goes in
