There was a NY times article a long time ago that described this phenomena that we do not want to be wrong and aren't willing to experiment knowing the outcome will be negative. The few of us that are comfortable with testing with failure in mind are ultimately more successful. Yesterday was the first time I went alone to the hall and tried to run some practice drills and after two hours I was even more confused and felt like I hadn't improved more like taken a step back. It was exactly how you described. The second you mentioned bracketing was an aha! moment for me. I was deathly afraid to miss anything especially feeling like everyone else was watching.

A long time ago, in a pool hall, far far away... A brilliant and maverick pro took me under his wing. I learned many things from him, and most I still remember to this day. One of those things was this - he said, "Garo... always remember... once you know a shot, the most important thing about being able to do it under pressure - the way you know you can - is: 'Where your mind is at the moment the tip strikes the cue ball."

I was trying to find the most eloquent message to write to you SSOP but words alone can’t express how well done the video was I can almost imagine the editing process. Now I must say that this video was super efficient and very impressive and informative. Great points to take away and go on the practice table to put some work in to improve the consistency of ball pocketing and cue ball control… My favorite part of the video was the later part where the demonstration kicked in… the middle of the video was very detailed and a bit overwhelming information wise but still very good… I will need to definitely rewatch for the 4th time to digest the Information

A great video, thank you! Will be helpful for many students of the game. I do have to add that I disagree with several of your statements - in particular aiming systems. I'm amazed at the resistance to aiming systems and then the instructor gives instruction to a system to train the eyes for a shooters particular style. Despite the number of pros who actually use a system (although some can't explain it). That's not by accident and they all use varying styles. Even SVB and J. Barretta, two of the greatest American players have a system (and I'm sure they've varied it over the years). A few pros have even publicly thanked the creators of such systems after winning titles. With that said, every system breaks down or has a weakness at some point (no different than aiming to miss long and short does). There are plenty of other variables at play (speed, shelf depth, pocket size and acceptance, friction caused by the table, humidity, cleanliness of the balls, ability to deliver an accurate stroke for the proper speed, etc) Because of this they continue to spend hours each day honing those skills (both visual references, stroke delivery, position play and spin). And at professional events tables tend to loosen up and play easier as the tournament goes on and the tables "settle., And those are only at 3 or 4 day tournaments. To me, an aiming system is just a well defined measuring tool - just as playing to miss is. Some systems are more accurate than others. But they are easily adjustable to a particular tables variables because they ARE measured. And you are using the same computer (the brain) to make those adjustments (which would have to be done no matter how you aim). Where players generally falter is by not making their routine repeatable, not understanding some of the principles of physics involved, and as you've so adequately explained, not being able to hit what they are aiming at due to poor fundamentals, visuals or not understanding the mechanics and making them repeatable (many cannot describe "good" or "bad" fundamentals or mechanics. Overall, and despite the disagreements, a great video for folks trying to learn the game.

Great video! This is the best explanation of how pool works that I have seen in a video yet. I forwarded it to the rest of my APA team. It's interesting that you break the ball up into halves thick and thin, I tend to break the ball up into three sections, the middle half and the thick and thin quarters. Also I wanted to let you know about how I adjust my aiming to compensate for a throw. When shooting I don't use math but here is the math behind what I do quick and dirty so you can understand where it comes from. Max throw(CIT or SIT) is 1 inch per foot, on a 9 ft table the diamonds are 1 ft away, American pool balls are 2 1/4 Inches across. So if the object ball is 2 1/4 diamonds away the aim adjustment should be 1 ball width (to the left or right, depending on how you're throwing) if you are 4.5 diamonds away your adjustment is 2 ball widths and if you are 6.75 diamonds away the adjustment would be 3 ball widths. So you should be able to set an object ball 6 3/4 diamonds away from a corner pocket and set up your cue ball to be a half ball hit. Look down the shot line and aim three balls over and shoot softly at pocket speed and you should push the ball right into the pocket. Alternatively, you could leave both balls in the same place but aim three balls in the other direction and shoot with guaranteed throw and still make the ball from across the table. I do these kind of adjustments all the time and they are pretty accurate. Also, I am getting much quicker at estimating My aim adjustment in ball widths. Turns out my shaft is just over a one ball width adjustment. I like using ball width for this because it's something that I can judge easily from across the table. Anyway, keep up the good work and good videos.
@Imikacic
@Imikacic 4 ай бұрын
I dont get this. A ball width? 3 ball width?! That's almost 7 inches, completely missing the entire target ball... Am I missing something here? (I'm very interested in the aiming techniques and still searching for the right method for myself. Will try bracketing, very excited about it )
@shanesoldner9117
@shanesoldner9117 4 ай бұрын
@@Imikacic yes, since I have posted this I have realized that a standard q shaft is less than 2 1/2 ft and a ball is 2 1/4 in. So for every "shaft distance" (the length of your shaft) that my object ball is away from the pocket I will adjust my aim point by the width of a ball (2.25"). This works for me I am used to seeing balls and my brain see what a ball would look like from across the table. You can test this for yourself by putting an object ball one shaft distance away from a pocket, give yourself a medium angle (about 1/2 ball) so that you are not straight in and not really full and not really thin. Then test it out buy shooting the shot softly while aiming to one side or the other of center pocket. You should see that if you aim to the wrong side of the pocket the object ball hits even farther away and if you aim to the correct side of the pocket it pushes the object ball into the pocket. And if you aim to the center of the packet you will push your ball offline and might even miss the shot. Understanding how CIT works is critical to shooting well

Your "deliberate intent" point is the same as what golfers call 'grooving the swing'; you remove as many variables as possible to focus on only one variable: aim. Consistency in aim relies on consistency in all the other fundamentals (shot picture, stance, grip, immobility, stroke, follow through, etc.). Without that, you're wandering in the desert. Good vid!

so glad you didnt editout the misses.. Also.. what people should hear is that when you are two cue sticks above or below center, (top spin or baCK SPIN on the cue ball) the margin of error where you hit the cue ball with the cue stick is WAY smaller, as the cue stick tends to slip off the ball if you are ANY distance off center.. or if your cue tip is even more too low or too high.. we have all seen those missed shots (Clink!) where the cue ball may not even move barely at all.. and of course we all have a good laugh.. Usually when that happens there is a side deflection of the cue stick(and hence cue ball too) also because of the curvature of the cue ball requiring a very accurate contact with the cue stick when hitting off center..

I agree with your perfect angle and believe the only downside is the dramatic speed difference when cheating the pocket with a thicker or thinner hit, +-4 degrees is still possible to make a ball near a pocket. This could create a hit ranging from 11-19 degrees, where the 11 degree almost kills cue ball movement and 19 lets it fly. I am going to dedicate my time to this style of practice.

@@ShortstopOnPool I have used this a couple sessions now and enjoy the process. As a lazy person I am forcing myself to look down the shot line every time to engrain the image. Too easy on repetitive shots to find the correct point and shoot for it without the complete shot routine steps leading up to it. Takes a little longer for me because I start with my off hand, less natural with more thought and feel, then merge into my "slightly more" dominant hand. I use multiple tools with vernier scales and see the reading of those as bracketing as well, your eyes can pick up the information from the lines adjacent easier than a line that almost matches in line.

At 12:11 he says i will teach you a system to aim. Because that is exactly what defining objective characteristics and assigning categories to shots and creating methods to use those characteristics is. Anything other than purely guessing is a system. And when a system is used then it depends on the accuracy of the results. With CTE for example the accurate of results are very high for a person who has matter the method. Cte is not a magic method, it is a set of instructions that produces the correct shot line when those instructions are precisely followed.

Good info. I learned to shoot, and cut without using outside english, however I have been playing for 40 years and a B+ player, so a lot of my knowledge on cuts with throw and deflection I guess is built in, I honestly just learned about throw and deflection a year ago, I never used an aiming system either. What keeps me from being an A player I think is that knowledge I learned on my own.. On some shots I have no problems using inside or outside spin and some I miss using the same aiming system which again is just millions of shots. I guess my brain automatically adjusts the aim when using spin? I've noticed when I do miss these shots it's usually because I don't hyper concentrate on the contact point of the ball? Sometimes when using extreme spin, I do aim a little left or right of normal to accommodate, sometimes I works, and sometimes it throws the ball and I miss... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
@ShortstopOnPool
@ShortstopOnPool Жыл бұрын
Very common question. The answer most likely is not in your aim but your fundamentals. An involved topic best addressed in person. Cue ball sidespin is used only to control the cue ball when speed and tip position on the vertical axis isn't enough. But you probably already know that. As you say, you've learned to shoot with lots of unconscious twists and spins. Coming back to the vertical axis will cause misses at first as you learn to "go straight". Thats what progress can be built on. Good luck!

@ShortstopOnPool
@ShortstopOnPool Жыл бұрын
Not stupid. I try to explain simply but everyone's brain works a bit different so I make assumptions without meaning to. The idea is that you pick a point that you think/hope/believe/assume is correct. After observing the results (assuming you hit that point) you can adjust your aim. Most people will correctly pick a point that "misses" the pocket on each side. So now you have your boundaries to start bracketing in from. Its never random. You can only adjust if you know exactly where you aimed. Won't take long to find the center of the pocket, then you reinforce that aim point with repetition. Along the way you are learning the angles to each side of the current shot so you'll find adjusting to other angles happens easier. And the bonus is that learning to aim a ball at a target other than a pocket (such as playing safe or banks) also comes much easier.

" Aiming is easy" but here is a three part video describing how to aim while falsely starting that aiming systems don't work. While describing a system that the author created. All of the information on contact induced throw has been thoroughly explained on KZbin videos since the beginning of KZbin. Other instructors who don't like aiming systems and who also falsely claim that they don't work have told their views how to compensate for throw and cling. This is not new information. It is the same in a different package. If aiming were actually easy then we wouldn't have to discuss and debate the best way to do it.

Aiming is a PROCEDURE. You must utilize BOTH eyes. I don’t like the single target idea. We have the ability to align both eyes to different references for each shot.

I like to casually ask new, aspiring players - "how many hours to do you think Shane/Ko/Jayson/Joshua (who ever their favorite pro is) has practiced to get that good?" Follow-up question is, "Are you willing to practice that much?" Tends to be an eye-opener.

I downloaded this video a few weeks back to watch it later. Don't put a caption tagging the legendary effren. You don't need to like apologize...that you will get back to a caption that is not spelt very well. May I suggest as we learn everyday... People don't want to watch KZbin videos for a long time that is over 1 minute. They or we...get bored. People can watch videos over a minute to even an hour...if you don't get them bored. Nobody wants to hear a monotonous continuous boring voice without connecting to the listeners. Pool players don't ever want to see "pause the video and talk" put a pic and talk. There are so many things to talk about. At 9.22 you got back to the caption with a boring advert before beginning. Have you subscribed or listened to lil Chris...with his cat running up and down and he is showing examples and connecting to his audience. No offense. Check my review evaluation.
