Mr. Terminator isn't telling the truth. He got everyone of those shots the first time. He just doesn't want us to feel bad. Thank you for all the tips. They're very helpful and I can feel my game progressing. Always enjoy watching you play🎱

[@apexpredatorbilliardstraining]

I like fact that you are so honest in your video.... Alot of instructors make it seem like it's a one shot one go and surely it's not... But I like this video because of the variations... This is in my bag of drills workout to practice thanks Niels ....

[@pedroarellano4266]

Holy cow, the value you bring in your videos is off the charts! Thank you!!!

[@frogginbullfish8777]

I'm about 3 months into starting playing pool for real. Really been enjoying seeing these videos and drills and excited to try some of these out on the practice table. Also, this may seem silly, but I really like how Niels refers to the audience as "pool players". I mean who else would be watching these drills other than pool players but there's just something about the way he says it lol

[@ianmastrangelo2427]

Going to have to try this out later today Niels! I really like the idea of having a lot of these shots lead from one to the next to keep that variety going and mixing up the repetition :)

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Absolutely Ian!! Makes the workout much more fun. Enjoy!! 👊😀

I love your teaching, I never get the feeling that you are just showing skills and drills that demonstrate your prowes. Of course you are good but your well thought out drills really teach a little bit better everyday mindset. Well done!

It's really good to see a Professional Pool Player as Niels with an excellent KZbin channel getting people interested in becoming a pool player and advancing as a pool player! Thank you and much success to you and to those who are learning from you.

[@intercrew99]

Not goin to lie. I think this is my favorite because of the pure randomness that mimics game when you don't have position and you got hard shot after hard shot and forced to use different spin, speed, type of shots

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

That's great to hear Will!! Thank you for watching and for your positive feedback 👌😊

[@hawktime]

Yes, more for me to practice, thank you for this great content🙋

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Kiitos Ville! Glad you like it. Have fun practicing 💪☺

[@hanspw]

Great drills again Niels 👍thx a lot 👌

[@chrisross33]

I too enjoy watching your drills and listening to your always positive yet always modest attitude. The best teachers on the internet are persons like yourself who clearly put a tremendous amount of work into creating the meaningful graphics which for me always include the cue ball image with the location of where you are hitting your side spin, top spin, bottom spin "English". Bravo Niels The Terminator! I look forward to someday watching you compete. I will never be a pro but I do like to beat opponents I encounter. So is worth the time and effort to practice practice practice. As just playing games against opponents is not enough. It's about repeating shots and in the process "building muscle memory". There is no better practice then practicing by yourself. Particularly practicing the shots you recently missed and working on those again and again. Just as Niels tells us to do! For my very worst shots, hitting them 3 times in a row might take all the time I have allocated to practicing. So sometimes... "better move on" LOL. :)

[@nuggers23]

Recently quite focused on the acid test drill. Improved my overall game quite significantly. Fun fact from today game with my club buddy - he kept playing good safety shot and made me reach for my jump cue I don't know how mamy times. Before the first jump ai thought to myself "I wanna do it like Niels" and boom! All jumps either scored balls or good safeties. Worked like a charm!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Wow!! That's strong!! Puts a big smile on my face buddy😊👊

[@davebedwell4323]

And here we go again! Another great practice drill. Not ashamed to admit that I try to tough levels first but usually go down a peg to work on those, and on occasion to the "C" or beginner level if I have to lol. I'm curious... Would you mind telling me what Tip Size you use and if it's a H, M, S or SS please?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Dave! I use Kamui brown soft 12,8mm

[@evertonvitorino9131]

Amazing video, I would like to see you playing on a Brazilian pool table, for me it's impossible to do this drill there.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Everton! Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video 👍😎 Brazilian pool table... is that like a snooker table in terms of size??

[@evertonvitorino9131]

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Hi Niels, thank you for answer, I'm surprised! Please look on KZbin for "Baianinho de Mauá" he is the greater pool player on this kind of table, he is also known as "The Witcher", there is an KZbin channel here in Brazil with more than one million subscribers. It would be amazing for both appearing together. The table is smaller in all terms including the pockets.

That was great, Mr. Niels. i have one problem, can you teach me how to see a half ball cut. and where to aim in order to pocket the OB.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Gomes! I can offer you a "personal Player Review": - You tape yourself, for example playing 'the ghost' or a match. Minimum 30 min. duration. - Then upload it to KZbin and send me the link. I will make a full review, ball-by-ball, and give you inputs on your technique, patterns, choices, stroke etc. and tips with things to work on! Interested? Send me a PM and we can talk further 👍😀

[@frazierg0325]

I'll try it tonight.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Have fun!! Let me know how it went 💪☺

[@doughandler9843]

I may have to reconsider my rating myself as an A player after watching this video. The single greatest weakness in my game is the long straight shot off the rail or out of the pocket such as you demonstrated. I guess I'm just the best player with a terrible stroke that can only find 4 hours to play per week.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Doug! Thanks for watching. I can suggest you to have a look at these 2 monster stroke videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqirf2WZbJd6qLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/q36cXnuhhZ6Dfa8 Keep up the good work!!👌😀

[@iliaskoronas6389]

Good day from Volos Greece. Congratulations for your amazing job you've done!!! You are very helpful for all amateur players. I have a question if you please: Is there any practical way to define the class of a player? We often hear C, C+, B, B+... How can I find in which class am I?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Illias!! Start with the easiest version and see how you do. If too easy go to the next. I will dive a bit deeper into the Fargo rating

[@chrisross33]

These ratings are a bit arbitrary. Easiest to start at the top. An "A" player is going to be a very seasoned player that can consistently run 6 to 8 balls out on an 8 ball rack. So other than when safeties are played, then this is going to be a quick game between two "A" ranked players. B players then are a cut below. They know a lot, but they don't know as much as an A player does. Anticipated these players being able to run say 4 to 5 balls at a time on a fairly consistent level. The "C" players then are just beginning to get serious about the game. They don't understand English very well. They don't have great pool ball speed control. And they definitely have only a basic understanding when it comes to "strategy". B players know a bit about strategy. A players understand strategy. From the time the break takes place they are working their way back from the key ball on the 8, etc. Hope that helps!

[@anthonykeller5120]

Nice drill. This is one I definitely will use. I like mixing up the type of stroke (follow, draw, rail, etc.) What I find the most challenging is changing my stroke from follow to draw. My mates tell me I should never shoot a draw shot, because my follow shot has a really smooth stroke and my draw shot does not. I watch Han Yu and think she has the most consistent smooth stroke I’ve ever seen. You can’t tell the difference between a stop shot and a table length draw based on her stroke. I know I put too much body in most of my draw shots, but how do I get that smooth, super fast spinning draw stroke?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hi Anthony! Thanks for your message. Glad you like the exercise 👊 Sounds great that your follow shot is working so nicely but I would still work on all type of strokes in your game! I guarantee you sooner or later you will need that draw shot ;) Did you have a look at my series "Back to The Basics"? There's 2 videos about the draw shot. Please feel free to have a look and let me know if you found what you're looking for 💪😃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqirf2WZbJd6qLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/q36cXnuhhZ6Dfa8

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

An option could also be to do a 'Player Review'. You tape yourself during practice or a match, upload it to youtube and send it to me. I charge $1,5 per minute, min. 30 min.

[@edwardcook3716]

Best of luck going for Championship 3. Of course if you win, you're going to have to update the intro to many of your videos 🙂

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

That's the plan Edward! Thank you 😎⚡

[@rodconner9079]

OMG Niels ... LOL ---- What are you expecting here!?! HaHa, those aren't so easy -------- AT ALL! WOW! Yeah, I get how it takes you a few tries to get it. No repetition about it; you give the english/spin ...... it's all about the speed and stroke. Have mercy............ Geeezzzzzz! Great exercise my friend, NICE! Be Safe

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Thank you very much, I'm debating on 4.5 inch or 4 1/4 inch pockets for a new Diamond table. What do you recommend please?

[@kemillionaire2]

Hi Niels, big fan of your content. I have a question on stroke. I noticed you don’t cue against your chest. What are your thoughts on cueing against your chest vs leaving a gap?

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hmmm if in your warm up strokes and final stroke you’re constantly hitting your chest I wouldn’t recommend that personally. But it’s something I would have to see first I think

[@thelstonbrathwaite7104]

I'm working on the first two.

Hey Neils would love access to the mental side but the conversion rate of that price in my currency will sink me deep bud so I have to hope that I save enough to get it

The pro level is challenging no doubt about that

[@eddiedoyon6687]

Nice video, what rank would you rate a player who can consistently run 2 racks out of 7? With ball in hand after the break. 9 ball. Would appreciate anyone's opinion.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Perhaps a C+ / B player👍🏼👍🏼

[@eddiedoyon6687]

Thank you very much sir

Been practicing for a few days, played a set of 7, I got 4 run outs on the other racks I made 7 balls ,6, then 4
