What Spin You Should Use and Why - GoPro

[@jamesdavis8731]

Oh hell ya! Love this type of video. EXCELLENT. One thing that I noticed right away that I am doing wrong is on some of those shots you used english - I would have used far too much. You are not using but maybe a half tip or less on those shots. I can see why I struggle sometimes with english. I am using far too much. Keep making these types of videos. Really really good.

[@briancragin]

I do the same thing. One thing I am starting to think about is the quality of stroke I'm putting on the cue and how that affects the action on it. Good luck!

[@julesjames593]

Agreed. I'm using too much english. In tonight's league play, I won't go more than a cue tip off center, excepting stop shots.

[@HibsMax]

A good drill is to hit the cue ball the length of the table, straight, and adjust the amount you move the tip to apply English. You will learn quickly how a little English goes a long way. And speed too.

[@scottboyd955]

I noticed the same and I also have been using too much english. So I used much less last night in my league and as a result I went 4-1. Thanks for the upload Sharivari, great video!

[@lucif3rmorn1ngstar68]

I personally believe the amount of English you put on the cue ball is dependent on the cue that you use, I found this out after I owned my first cue. It puts more spin on the cue ball than a standard house cue would

[@brettbarker8444]

This was good. I also really appreciate the cue ball icon showing where you’re making contact so make sure you keep that. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cristiancartin1996]

Yeahhh!!!!

[@KvnDWr]

It drives me nuts when other pool youtubers don't show where they hit the ball

[@TonyUrryMakes]

Absolutely!!!

[@LeeWanner]

I really, really enjoy there being no music over the meat of this video.

[@stevepetre2827]

Thanks for using the GoPro. Please continue with that. I was shocked to see how little left or right you aimed on the ball to make it go in that direction. I've been over-doing that lots recently.

[@mozb87]

You may also be playing on a crap table :) which does not help

[@scotty193]

As mozb87 said, I play in a Pool Bar league and away tables vary wildly in condition. Sometimes you really have to muscle shots and exaggerate English, draw, top whatever to get action on the cue ball. The table used in the video is pristine hence the minimum adjustments, dont beat yourself up over it

[@scotty193]

As comment below, Pool hall or pub tables vary wildly in condition. Dont beat yourself up over it minimum adjustments in this video because the table is pristine.

[@darrellj6612]

Just gotta say...I am relatively new to pool but your video’s have moved me up SOOOO quickly to catch up with my pool buddies. Thanks!!!

[@franstammo3905]

I was always wondering why there are no videos that teach with a go pro, but you now are on another level compared to other KZbin billiards channels, keep up the good work

[@rainfogz6664]

This gopro is a great addition to your lessons man! I love it!

[@JustMitchPool]

Nicely done :). Make sure for those who dont know. When applying english, you need to alter the angle due to the cue ball when move to the opposite way, when the cue ball is struck. Practice makes perfect.

[@srivatsana]

Loved this video. I like this kind of teaching. I pause between shots to see how I would have played. Almost matched with your suggestions. 😄

[@Jacksonslayer]

Love this video. I'm not a beginner. I can play center ball pool all day but when I apply English, I often get confused what it's going to do or where the cue ball will go. This really helps

[@countrylapi9245]

The 1rst person view on shots is a game changer. Physically seeing the speed you hit the ball with the correct English is HUGE! Your best video yet. The practice drills in 1rst person would be awesome. Trying to see a cue ball point of contact on the corner of the screen can be confusing due to the angle being reversed in the camera. 1rst person will accelerate our comprehension of what's going on. Thanks!

[@morganlove6300]

wow.... out of all the pool videos i see about center to edge an all, this is the best videos that reli explained most of it... thanks for the video bro... best video ever made... go pro video an u will make a history on youtube with this kinda demonstration , i assure u 100% .... my name is morgan........ peace out ***************

[@davidr.hofstetter7301]

Yes! Most valuable to hear strategy, english, and cue speed!

[@NoVowel]

The Go Pro is a fantastic addition to your content. Having that Point of View perspective along with the cue ball point of contact diagram keeps you as one of my favorite video makers. Thanks for all you do!

[@MagicMikeBilliards]

The go pro gives a perspective that no other KZbinr will show us. Please keep using it in future videos

[@merlealthafer]

Love the new camera angle with gopro. Brings us right into the real-world action to see what you're doing as you explain the shot. More like this please.

[@Sharivari]

I really had fun doing this one. And it also amazed me how good this was to see mistakes in my technique, that I didn't conciously notice before. I hope you enjoyed this video too! See you soon :) Here is the link to the first KZbin I uploaded on this channel in case you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXRoJdjptqNmZY Here is the link to my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/Sharivari

[@NickthePilgrim]

Wonderful video! I really like this way of teaching! I started videoing myself after watching both your videos here and Mark Wilson’s clinic posted on KZbin at Derby this year. My game has already jumped 2 balls from simply addressing fundamentals properly. Thank you!

[@Ironsvillage]

I think these are the best lessons, where you explain what your thought process is and even give a few other ways to play the shot. Also the head cam puts it into perspective really well, so you can see "from the eyes" of a pro and maybe even compare to your own technique, bridge placement etc. Great lesson all around!

[@chrisanderson4044]

I really wish you would do more videos just like this. I struggle to figure out what English to use on various shots and this is very helpful

[@billbmd82]

I really enjoyed the Go Pro views and description of cue ball travel based on the English applied. Thanks and I look forward to more of the same!

[@terryessery6109]

Thanx man 👍,I used to be able to pot 4 or 5 balls consecutively and consistently, however after viewing your videos and practicing what I saw you do, I'm proud to say that I can now pot 15 to 20 fairly regularly, thanxs again 🎱

[@markmudri9132]

Great video. I love the first person view and explanation of your shot options before you hit it.

[@mattwilson6380]

Really like the go pro shots! Let's us see what you are doing/thought process even more. Great video!

[@SuperGreyfox99]

this was super excellent. Your videos with the x on the cue ball help so much. So awesome thank you. the go pro works great. the view down the cue is excellent

[@RossFellerCasey]

I like these types of videos. They give real world application.

[@SomeGuy-tz8dz]

Great video! I like the real life shots and the commentary as you go to explain the difficulty of the shot and how hard and what english you are using. Keep up the great work!

[@soorgolf1234]

I really liked this. can you do more similar to these showing where you think the ball is going to go and why it is going to go there? Thanks

[@nickseguine393]

The go pro was a fantastic idea! Seeing the slight off center shots vs the far left, right, top and bottom shots is an eye opener for me to see the different ways to figure your next shot and using English to get you there! At 69 hopefully I’m finally going to start winning some games! Thanks! great vid!!👍👴🏻

[@ronpalacios7953]

I really like looking down the cue, I understand more of what u r talking about. Thanks for all the hard work, u put into making these videos.

[@willy3195]

Great video! Great explanation and showing your shots on the cue ball.

[@informedcitizen8687]

Love the new format! I've been playing awhile and considering myself an intermediate player. By that I mean I'm able to run a couple of racks in straight pool and if I'm presented an open rack in 9-ball I can run out 70% of the time. That being said I always take away something from your videos. Keep it up and thanks for making them.

[@patrickrobichaux]

Awesome idea. Definitely going to strap my action cam to my head now to critique my own performance. Also, in the previous video where you discussed your responsibility is just controlling the cue was so simple but so insightful. My form has tremendously improved just from reminding myself of this when making shots.

[@Ponch_ITK]

Great for you as always I always have trouble trying to put backspin on the ball sometimes but I feel like this video could make me learn a thing or two about pulling draw shots off thanks again man!

[@LeeWanner]

This is EXACTLY the video lessons I want to see! Exactly this! More please

[@jethrob258]

Good video. I like the go pro view along with the ball animation.

[@davekat4680]

Another winner 🎱👍 GoPro very nice addition to your graphics and explanations. Thank you Shavari

[@stansteiber]

Very nice format and I definitely would like to see more of this type of video. Thank you!

[@bdigby2]

Great video, we need more like this. More racks of showing and explaining why and how you move the cue ball. Also, can you do a video or explain how you are so accurate in picking the spot on the rail that you want the cue ball to hit and how you do so?

[@dextertracy3739]

Hey Sharivari I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. You deliver your lessons in a manner that is clearly understandable in a language which is not over complicated by excess. It leaves the viewer feeling after watching a video that , great ! I understand what he was saying and doing so NOW i can go out and practice with confidence knowing i will improve!. All of that makes a world of difference as you grow into this marvelous game. Thanks a Ton. Dexter

[@MrSegopa]

Love this video as we are learning quiet a lot from, and basically this can keep us sustaining our consistency in a game. That means you nailed it & love it 😍👌👌👌 Your Videos has made me one hell of a most good 🎱 pool player and I thank you in that regard and will keep watching your videos. 👏👏👏

[@randycurtisii1684]

Thank you SO MUCH for making this type of video!! I’ve been looking for material like this for months!

[@deserickbird274]

Hey i love the videos you share, they help me out alot when it comes to shooting the right shot with the right english and timing...i been binge watching your videos to help my game to get to its best...

[@brett6314]

This is very helpful to see WHERE you're aiming. Watching good players sink shots and magically have the cue ball break up clusters or be set up perfectly its that helpful until you know how they shot it. Idea; for those of us working out how much English to use and corresponding where to aim, maybe do 4 basic shots with no English, left, right and where to aim each time.

[@tylerbarnard5428]

You should do way more videos like this, just going through runouts. This is THE most helpful video I have seen in quite a while! Thanks!

[@rfmaducd]

Really liked this video. The POV really adds to the analysis

[@laharris619]

One of the better videos I've seen. Great job explaining your thought process

[@josephesparza4280]

I really enjoyed this lesson, would love a few more just like this. It's always good to hear what someone else's thought process is.

[@techwizard1747]

Definitely approve of the GoPro! Like many others, it looks like I'm trying to put on far too much side. Our local tables are pretty rubbish. How much of an impact does the quality and cleanliness of the cloth and the balls have on the responsiveness of the cue ball?

[@tomgodzik4721]

Great Video. that was very helpful. I liked that you explained everything and then you shot the shot. Thank You for sharing it. Please do more.

[@teewhitt]

Great video! Especially the shot to get on the 8. Using english to come into the line instead of across it. I still struggle to find ways to do that. This was an excellent example. More videos like this please! Thanks

[@danknapp7865]

As usual very good tutorial on how to take control of the cue Ball. Thanks!

[@BangTimePool]

Good tips!! Keep putting out great videos!

[@onepunch9203]

Thank you for sharing your expertise. English has always mystified me a little bit, but this helps me understand it a little better. 🎱 I subscribed. 👍🏼

[@mikehebert9051]

Totally love it! Best way to actually see what you are describing! Give us more!

[@jaymartin5752]

I like the hat cam view. It helps make understanding better. Keep it going.

[@ludo84280]

Great videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm learning something every time. Videos are editing very well are the gopro angle is fantastic. 👍👍

[@craigchrist360]

I play APA 9 ball and I’m now 7/7 thanks to your videos. I’m only a skill 4 but hoping to be a 5 soon

[@timj8151]

Great lesson and the camera views on how you are making the shots

[@PrinceMody97]

that's surprisingly more educational video with goPro than without it.. LOVE IT!!!! ❤️

[@tedmayer2261]

Excellent video , thanks. It would be great if you did a few more racks like this.

[@akquicksilver]

Excellent stuff Sir. I love the camera angles and the cue ball English position. Keep it up!

[@rb7874]

Brillant video like always. That first shot was beautiful, its always difficult to combine potting the ball and positioning. Most of the time, if i try difficult positioning, i miss the pocket. I prefer then sacking the positioning a bit (mostly distance) but being 90% sure to pot the ball

[@Bebbr3]

Definately more of these, you're awesome buddy. I appreciate the time you put into sharing your knowledge. Thank you, for real.

[@rajivpanicker5593]

Awesome video. Please make more videos like this. So that we would get better at choosing the correct English.

[@brianb.2894]

I always learn something and its always fun. Thank you.👍

[@guygustoferson5700]

Love this video, love this format. Best one yet.

[@ChiefinGuam]

I really enjoy the new camera angle! Keep up the great work!

[@saigen73]

I like this pov footage. Even if its not exactly on your line of sight, it shows how you line up your cue stick and how it follows through. It sort of lets us experience the sensation of hitting good stroke/speed. Maybe more pov footage with voice-over with notes, or what specific things you are thinking, or trying to execute.

[@SikWithit]

Love the videos! Can you make one on the different ways to actually hold the cue? Thanks🤙

[@BillyBob2015]

I enjoy the gopro style videos and commentary, keep up the good work!

[@davidwagner3182]

This was a cool video! I like the pov camera.

[@bloc4395]

This style of video is perfect. Very helpful mate.

[@chriscooper1686]

Excellent Video. Perfect Speed. Thanks for all the videos.

[@isaacsmith3656]

Great video, the go pro takes your lessons to the next level!

[@rapidfiremaldonado]

This was awesome thank you. Can you please make one with how to aim when using English. I mean how to compensate for English when you’re aiming thank you.

[@ericpoolguysimpson2954]

I beleive he has a video showing the throw of the object and how to aim to adjust for it. Have a look at his channel. Another instructor that discusses it is Dr. Dave Billiards but stick to this channel for now!

[@angelabl123]

Rafael Maldonado jr Repetition and observation.

[@Sharivari]

I am currently working on a new lesson about that :)

[@ERM213]

Nice! The extra camera angles help, thanks!

[@stevewilson7915]

You make it look so easy. I love it!!!!

[@daudtieglemon210]

Love the way you show how it works !

[@logawi3]

Definitely helps alot. Simplifies it in a good way. When I would use it. I would say imma hit this rail bam bam and bam but over do it. Now the way you do it, you do it in steps. FIrst off this rail with top, next we're going to lengthen the spin so we'll use right. etc. Only thing I will say is the sound of your cue is hollow. Doink sound. :p

[@CarlosRuiz-qm8ye]

Great videos! Congrats from Brazil!

[@jackcates1079]

Love the new format. Keep it up.... Yes! do more videos like this..

[@francismartinsanchez2414]

I like this type of your video better @Sharivari this will surely improve my game.

[@kaceynguyen2873]

Awesome content. Would be even better in 1080P. But you already know that so yeah, keep up the good work! I noticed you're using a low deflection Pr 314 shaft like me. Do love the go pro shots, keep it coming, good job!

[@aceliu5997]

Love these types of videos. Please more like this. So helpful

[@malaeolemateo8846]

Finally someone going go-pro..best video..

[@jonathanmeltzer8020]

Love the video! What do you mean on the shot on the 9 when you decide not to roll the cue ball to “avoid a kick”? What does that mean here? Is a kick when the object ball slides after contact?

[@adrianchapa6439]

The one warning I would have for people thinking about recording themselves with a camera or gopro, is recording a practice session can be distracting. With equipment not working the way you would like it to I found myself losing valuable practice time, plus it adds pressure on needing to perform the shot to perfection. So use your time wisely. What sharivari is doing is not easy!! Keep up the hard work.

[@Tengokuq]

Hey, great video! Question, which cue are you using? What's the tip size/hardness?

[@skippydippydoo1977]

Nice run and control.

[@johngomez-ex2in]

Very good video. Very informative! Thanks!

[@MarcV27]

Nice vid and love the new camera angle. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@johnronan5478]

Yes, more cueball control please. Great vid. Thanks

[@alexcollins1630]

Great video,the go pro is a genius idea

[@ХристијанПроданов]

Great video Sharivari! Excellent indeed! But, there is an issue, I think for everyone, because training and playing an important match is not the same. I am having troubles with 10/10 training shots, on a real match. Any comment and/or advice on how to stay relaxed and execute the shots I normally execute 10/10 on a training session?

[@grimzz5180]

Amazing man. Now I play my games better than ever

[@hoobie74]

Really dig the go-pro view. Keep up the great work!

[@shelbywaddell5759]

Great video shaviri,liked it a lot.i hope it will help me in my game.

[@DaveT383]

I always enjoy your vids. They are well done. Good work!

Keep up the great videos Shariv, and thank you very much!
