Pool Lesson | How To Calculate One Rail Kick Shots

[@Sharivari]

With the last point on important notes I mean that for you it might not be exactly half a tip that euqals one diamond, but maybe 0.45 or 0.55 - depending on your tip with it's curvature and the condition of the rails and environment. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. See you at 100,000!

[@rabihavi8062]

Thank you....see you

[@buster5643]

Just a bit of additional information to add, speed is a significant factor especially on different types of tables (i.e diamond vs valley vs Brunswick) as well as speed on the english being used. A recommendation I have for learning kicks is to use the same speed whenever you using english, so that you have a basis to work off of for future shots. Another great video sharivari, I send alot of your videos to people who always ask me for help on learning how to play pool. You always have great visual aids in your videos. Which makes them perfect for beginners

[@handogtv2222]

Wow amazing sir idol god bless more power from your number one fans in the Philippines thank you

[@imjustfabi7545]

Hey man, good explanations, I want to buy a table but I don’t know which is worth it’s money. Which table did you use in your Video?

If there would be an award for best online pool teacher, it would be for you. Kudos to you man.

[@mikeserrano734]

Yes him and Dr. Dave. Even Dr. DAVE told me Sharivari will beat him. 😁

[@madhatter2012]

I agree Tim. I watch quite a few of these instructional videos, and Sharivari is by far the best.

[@joshballard3991]

On the money. This guy is brilliant

[@Sharivari]

Thank you!

[@chupathinga]

4 years later, I agree

[@albertguerrerojr.8199]

Sir, You reinforced logically what I’ve learned from playing billiards for over 50 years. I share your lessons with my youngest daughter and who is becoming a formidable opponent. Cheers!

[@dead2me810]

my goal is to start a pool playing family, especially 3 daughters. Congrats

[@NemonicsRacing]

FINALLY!!! I've watch so many videos about calculating angles. They're basically "count the diamonds" as if the balls are always going to be perfectly lined up. But no one really shows clearly how to adjust on the cue ball like this video. They just say "u will have to make adjustments so practice doing that." (Obviously) But your explanation of "how to" is great & immediately answered the questions that the other videos left me with. Really APPRECIATE you taking the time to make this.

[@Sharivari]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kylewayne1098]

You literally just changed my life. Thanks for your teaching skills and information.

[@robertbyington7715]

Your production quality is going through the roof; and you always show the correct way to do something as well as some of the issues that you might face when initially trying to execute a particular shot; plus the adjustment you need to make. Thanks from all the pool players who need these excellent tutorials. Keep them coming

[@dgsean9775]

I been playing pool my whole life, I had no clue about this. Thanks for sharing the knowledge man.

[@richarddombakly413]

Sharave this is THE BEST VIDEO on kicks &banking I ever watched, you simplified how to figure out &adjust the CB,very,very elegant engineering, BRAVO,well done PS I studied it 5 times and I will explore practice it,this is like having a set of wrenches in my toolbox, thanks again, looking forward to your next video.

[@madhatter2012]

Another grand slam video! No matter where the cueball is located, it's all about using the angle of reflection to determine what a player does with the shot in order to adjust the track path to pocket the object ball. Thanks again for great explanations and demonstrations!

[@Kashed]

Thsi video is amazing! Thank you! 🙏🏻 I have been playing for a long time and always did this by feel and never really understood how to use the diamonds or how to calculate how much english to use. You sir are an amazing teacher! 👍🏻

[@metsr18rhq]

I've always just hit center ball kicks. Now I see how helpful high and low are. Thanks Shaivari!

[@donnagoodman3371]

Thank you sooooo much for that instruction, it really helped me understanding angles. I agree with those before me. If there was an award for best online pool teacher it would be you in my humble opinion. I will be looking forward to all videos you make from here on. And my prayers of grace and protection are directed in your path. Love ya brother

[@terrythomas5479]

I watch a ton of people on you tube. This was the greatest simplification of bank shots I have seen bar none. Thanks for the video.

[@Sharivari]

Glad I could help.

[@gman5051]

What a great baseline to have in your bag ! I want to get on the table and use that method. Thanks Shavari !

[@laskartrece]

So clear and methodical! Thank you. You should write a book with different chapters to explain/understand the whole thing...

[@alekslimove]

Your tutorials are awesome. I'm improving quite fast with all you've been talking here and in the other videos). Everything is easy and understandable. I cannot understand side spin yet but I'm improved a lot. I'm really new playing pool, just 3-4 months

[@10wn1]

Been playing for pool for quite some time now, and just came across your channel. I may know the general idea on the tips, but the clarification and visuals makes it easier for me to understand. Thanks for the videos, and I like the visuals!

[@grayboo212]

I really enjoy your channel. The funny thing is, some of your lessons are giving away little secrets I've known for years just through practice/trial and error on my own table in my basement. Sometimes I will pull off a shot I know I have a really good chance of making only to see the bewilderment in my friend/bar opponent's face. I think I used the "I got lucky" saying before Efren Reyes did. I started learning this back in the early nineties when I met a guy at a bar who could put more English on the cue than anyone I have ever met, even to this day. This guy was nothing short of amazing. He never drank, never bet, but almost always won. For hours. He had a poker face too but I used to watch where he was hitting the cue ball and that's when he started teaching me some of his knowledge. Your lessons are fantastic. I cannot believe that stuff I've learned by watching you, and others on here. Some things I should have known along time ago but never really gave much thought to because what little I do know has always been enough to win more than lose.

[@cameronmccallister4707]

If you could only watch 1 video on pool this would be my go to, so much detailed information that the “legends” at my local pool hall have been learning for the past 30 40 years and had to learn it the hard way

[@davekolb7622]

I've always just guessed on how to use a rail but now I'll make a more accurate shot and impress myself each time I make a shot. Thanks for your help!

[@bannguyen5057]

I am 76 female started play pool after I retired, your video is the BEST I subscribed to learn more. Good health to you and yours.

[@victorjbarker]

These are pretty common pool principles, but man your graphics and illustrations are top notch. Kudos for your work. These videos will be invaluable to be players!

[@InterWebGuy99]

Simple enough to both understand and remember at the table. Thanks for the tips.

[@kenhall3851]

Great video once again. I recommend you to all of my friends trying to learn the game properly. Another important NOTE: when using reverse or backspin, it is important to use a firmer stroke so that the cue ball does not turn to forward roll after hitting the rail or it will miss (it should feel akin to hitting a stop oe stun shot). When moving 1 diamond down table, requiring 1 tip of reverse, also apply draw to the stun or stop stroke. The cue ball will banana curve back to the object ball, increasing your chance s of making it. Ass you stated any sort of top or bottom will also affect the shot. So I'd recommend aiming at 3 or 9 o'clock on the cue ball (along the horizontal axis of the cueball) when determining tip width for more consistency. Finally, players may have a differnt idea of what 1/2 tip and 1 tip means. 1/2 tip is actually 1 width of your shaft width from center ball. So 1 tip is actually 2 widths of your shaft from center ball. And it can be MEASURED! If you want to measure 1/2 tip, place your right or left edge of the cue stick at center (depending on which direction you are shooting). If you want to measure 1 tip, place the edge of your shaft at center, (example left edge when shooting toward the right), see where your right edge is and move your left edge again to to where the right edge was.. like using a ruler. If aiming with running spin, I'd recommend using what feels like a follow stroke (bot top but at the horizontal center. Same sort of stroke but not at a following positioning that make since). It allows the spin to take affect and avoids fighting against it by accidently applying some stun to the shot). On reverse spin shots, you want stun to prevent the cue ball from turning into follow. On running spin shots, you do not!! To avoid the ball from coming short. Allowing the spin to take affect.

[@KunalSharma-tr5xb]

Best video ever on the rail shot calculation, good explanation with demo shots.

[@michaelcastle4936]

Thanks dude, really well explained and easy to understand!!!

[@w.cheatle8489]

I really like this video. I am a terrible position player and often find myself needing to do a rail kick shot to get myself out of a bad positon.. This should help me to be successful in making rail shots. Thanks Sharivari!

[@douggoldberg2618]

The explanations are a great help in understanding the why the shots react as they do. I am anxious to try the lessons.

[@VeteranVandal]

Damn. I actually gonna have to test this now. This can potentially make a very big difference for my game.

[@BladeRunner-td8be]

Been watching this channel for some time now. I didn't think it possible but the quality of each video seems to get better with each one. Nice work, Sharivari Based on geographical issues I doubt it would ever be possible, but someday if you make it to the western side of the U.S., would love to schedule some instructional time with you. Cheers

[@mrdutch-jd1dl]

The way you explain shooting from different positions but use the same terms = 👌 Personally I'd like to see from a camera behind/above so I really see your line. Keep it up!

[@Kid_Clutch7]

Awesome tutorial. Definitely gonna use the practice drills more frequent

[@mirza_alif]

NOT KIDDING! The shot at the end of the video was awsome flexing!! out of world maaan!!!

[@sergioiramgonzalez6112]

Thank you for an excellent presentation. This one is staying in the favorites!

[@johntube2525]

Really great pool videos for all kinds of various pool situations. I have watched many of them and I think they have helped my game. I have to watch or rewind many times as I have a hard time understanding your accent, but rewinding and re-watching is not a bad idea anyway. I have subscribed to your channel and clicked liked on the ones I have watched! Keep up the good work!

[@joels310]

I played pool for a good 6 years when I was a teenager but I never learned this stuff! I was really good and could cut like a pro, and I had pretty good mastery of English, but I was always horrible at bank shots. I am going to go back to the pool hall after 20 years and see if I can still shoot like I used to and maybe better with this! Thanks for the solid lesson!!!

[@李一之]

His video is always the best pool lesson on all websites.

[@sventiger55]

In a very simple vid uou have unlocked something that was a mystery to me. I now understand. My mates won't know what hit them! Many thanks.

[@ronic8088]

Great content Very modest. A true professional Your passion for the sport is reflected in the quality of your content

[@GerryChopikRealtor]

My son (33) and I were very well match... until he became friends with a Canadian 9-Ball champ. Some lessons ensued, and of course, he's starting to pull away on me. 😎 I'm so pumped that he's having a blast at pool and getting better than me [that's what Dad's do] but I am also doing my utmost to at least hang in there. I don't have a table but your videos are SO WELL DONE, and the explanations so clear, that I continue to surprise him by making challenging shots with decent positioning. Thanks for all the work you put into producing these videos. Always great info. 🙏

[@Sharivari]

That's amazing! I can totally relate. Since I've started playing pool, my goal was always to finally beat my Dad. It took many years. We still play once a week till this day. Thanks for your kind comment :)

[@GerryChopikRealtor]

@@Sharivari Thanks for your thoughtful reply and personal story. I can’t even imagine how many comments come your way every day so I really appreciate the time you took to respond. I shared our exchange with my son and it was a wonderful surprise for him because unbeknownst to me, Ryan also follows you and considers you THE best online coach out there. I agree. Wishing you a Merry Christmas with family and friends and continued success in the New Year and beyond.

[@meshellejackson138]

I love your explanation and visuals, finally understand the variables

[@_GandalfTheGrey_]

This makes me appreciate Efren Reyes so much more. He makes these calculations on the fly under extreme pressure.

[@hr.8580]

Sharivari, your videos are top class, and you are excellent coach with exceptional communication skills. Excellent work and all the best. Come to next Zagreb Open :).

[@steveandulsky566]

Wow! It makes perfect sense. Thank you for the straightforward explanation.

[@JMAN58961]

I love watching these and trying it out in my matches

[@gorn1120]

I agree with the end very much. Many casual players play on well used tables where the felt and rails are significantly worn and will affect the english and angles. Often times, a regular user of a worn table will have an advantage being accustomed to that specific table's behavior.

[@scottjames6037]

The best lessons. Just started APA again after Covid.

[@lawrencefletcher1686]

Ty for making this video. It’s very informative and plan on using that practice drill to improve my game.

[@tbofficial5230]

I'm loving the way you explain in order right now. I have an eye so I can see what you mean. But when it comes to my hand. I got to get it more steady... Because what I see and then how my hand translates ain't always the same. But I can see the geometry just fine on the table. But I tend to use a 20 or 21 stick. I end up getting too much follow through a lot. So finesse is only hard because of a heavy stick. But if I use a lighter stick....I only overshoot, more often than not. So I stick to a heavy stick and try and not hulk it. I'm better at combo shots than I am normal single shots. Idk why. But a basic cut into the side pocket is my hardest shot.

[@TheMadmaxx1970]

Excellent video with easy to understand explanations of how the system works and how to use it.

[@Kevin-ib4gv]

The tip system works well when needed on a good table that banks correctly. Our local bar table has every problem imaginable and you're lucky to get a standard kick or bank in half the time!! I don't use high/low on the cue ball, just a touch of inside/outside english. Seems to work for me.

[@szinhodossantos6520]

Wow!! Bruv, So helpful my skills have drastically improved since I started watching your videos💪🏾

[@Sharivari]

Awesome!

[@wilfredpotan6353]

Another great video that i WILL inform my team mates and friends that have difficulty in these type of shots.Thank you Mr.Sharivari

[@jerryc452]

Sharivari =Boss!

[@dayvisss]

By far one of the most useful videos. As a player that is decent, this is a situation I am put in quite a bit, and this method is my best option because I’m not going to pull out some crazy masse. Many of times I’ve failed to calculate. I was trying to do it on my own with no knowledge of how the q ball will move based off my shot. Thank you, I’m playing in a tournament soon and this will be very helpful

[@Sharivari]

Good luck for the tournament!

[@Nikke-z]

[@Z0MBM0Z]

Thanks for this Sharivari! I am definitely going to use this in the future. I really like the idea of top and bottom english to lessen or strengthen the angle of reflection. I can see the usefulness of the tips and diamond system, but that will take a lot more getting used to. But that was great you introduced that helpful drill. This video will be a useful reference to fully digest and incorporate everything presented.

Great explanation!! Well worth my undivided time.

[@mbrwn25]

Another great vid. I wish you'd explain how you measure deflection with your cue (I see you moving the cue in 3rds or 4ths to project this angle).

[@RRJOfficial]

If I understood the video correctly ... Short way: 1/2 tip = 1 diamond, full table Long way (double the size of short way): 1/2 tip = 2 diamonds, full table He counts how many diamonds the cue ball is from the object ball (in this case the pocket) by counting 1/2 diamonds (1/4 tip), e.g. 1.5 diamonds short way is 3/4 tip and 3/8 diamonds on long way which sounds pretty difficult for me, so I would just hit 1/4 fast or 3/4 slow and wish the best, unless I could use the opposite side rail or both. 😅

[@NemonicsRacing]

Find the 2 diamonds that "best" line up with the ball. In the video the ball best lined up with 3rd diamond on top rail & 5th diamond on bottom rail. That angled -> / distance was 2 diamonds /..| so you double that to make a triangle /..|..\ ( so.. 4 diamonds). He then counted those 4 diamonds over to see how many more diamonds were left from there to the pocket. It was 1 diamond additional to that so he added 1/2 tip on the cue ball. (I hope that was the answer u were looking for)

[@zafarullah8427]
