Over the period of four months, I've designed "The Golden 21" course, to give you a complete and well-organized training program. Each exercise and game in the course gradually becomes harder and more valuable, helping you learn steadily and effectively. Because of the different levels, it works for all kinds of players. Whether you're just starting out or already good, you can pick a level that's right for you, even matching your Fargo rating. And the best thing? You can join me in doing every single exercise in an engaging Sharivari video lesson: sharivari.net/the-golden-21/

What if you wanna add spin to get on your next shot?
@brett63146 ай бұрын
Fixing this is the real issue. Concentrating on the fundamentals as you say doesn't make unknown issues come to light. It would be very helpful to see the process of discovering fundamental stroke flaws, then drills to correct. Realistically this is either a coach or video yourself from the front and behind, being able to recognize the problem (which could be in the grip/swing line/steering/whatever the fk else), then for that particular problem have a drill to overcome years of muscle memory.

Trying to find a coach right now since recording myself in a public pool room is unconventional and honestly makes me feel uncomfortable. Coaches are apparently scarce here in Puerto Rico😅

I've practiced straight shots for a while and now I'm pretty confident to make them. Position play is where I'm lacking a lot. Coming into lane of the shot is so helpful!

Recording myself taking these shots to see what I was doing wrong is what helped me to fix this issue; my problems were lifting my head and dropping my elbow. Once I corrected those, the issue went away!

The is a secret I tested and it works in my case, for a perfectly straight shot, just aim the pocket like the object ball doesn't exists. If you shoot exactly in the middle of the cue ball with no accidental side spin like you said, the ob will reach the pocket all the time. Nice video!

Loved, use a 'confident' shot. You are touching on the mental component and that is vital in every sport. Mechanics matter but they don't hold up without a confident stroke. Great 'simple' (not shallow or childish) instructions!

@G35Jeff6 ай бұрын
Where I am looking at contact, depends on the shot. Sometimes I’m looking at the cue ball and sometimes I’m looking at the object ball. I just do what feels natural. I find that when precise cuing is necessary (i.e., side spin, draw or follow, etc.,) I typically look at the cue ball at contact. However, when it’s a long straight shot with a center ball hit I usually look at the object ball at contact. But I honestly try not to think about where I’m looking at contact, it just comes naturally. Thanks and great content.

I was in a terrible slump, and I asked my APA team's 7 what the hell I'm doing wrong. It was ALL fundamentals-too long of a bridge, gripping cue too tightly, not aligning my head with cue, holding my breath. I focus on those specifically during matches now (since I can aim naturally), and it made a world of difference. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.

I do the same. I call it a need for confidence shot. So while im not over powering it, and do shoot it a demand/in ur face confident speed. Much like long distance shots on object balls frozen to rail
@rolanddesbiens35316 ай бұрын
You mentioned speed control on the shot in this video. It would be easier to grasp by demonstrating the power needed by demonstrating the ball travel distance up and down the table without an object ball.
@divine_swine96656 ай бұрын
I don’t agree with this… the reason most people miss straight in shots isn’t because of speed, it’s bad fundamentals. Eg; the stroke isn’t straight and consistent, body movement, etc, etc… I can shoot a shot blind folded and still make the shot. Straight in or at an angle… as long as I am on the shot line and if I am bridging at the proper length for the stroke needed. I’ve demonstrated this while coaching friends
@johnholmstrom42126 ай бұрын
@@divine_swine9665 To add to this: the results of bad fundamentals are amplified at low and high speed shots. Fix the fundamentals, and this never becomes an issue. But shooting at a medium speed can help with some of your fundamental flaws, although the root problem should be fixed, not patched up.
@photographer1286 ай бұрын
I've focused on these shots and improving on them for some time. I was making maybe 80% or more. I was shooting too hard and once I altered the speed I'm able to make around 90%. I immediately realized the difference. If you imagine shooting the cue ball hard enough for it to slide to the object ball at a slow enough speed that it stops sliding and starts rolling just before it hits the object, that is too slow. Up the speed 20 or 30 percent and that's as hard as you'll need to shoot it. I think hitting hard magnifies any error in your stoke.

When I shift my focus from the cue ball to the object ball, back and forth (like Judd Trump in this video), i get the feeling that my aim is wrong, one perspective negates the other, thus I lose confidence in my aim, alignment, and this leads to unnecessary corrections, steer and unwanted spin...

it stays a simple shot when we play at a stop shot in long shot. In most of cases in frames, white is played with the effect to move on or back, at this moment the long shot is difficult. So the basic the cue action must be perfect. the speed is not a criteria.
