For me working on my stroke has had the biggest positive impact on my game. If you watch one of my oldest videos on this channel and compare it with today, you can see a huge difference. It has helped me to become way more consistent in shotmaking and much stronger in pressure situations. It's still far away from being perfect, and working on my stroke is still one of the main parts of my practice routine. I hope this video was helpful and can guide you into the right direction! If you enjoyed it leave a thumbs up, a comment or even a Super Thanks.

I have to say that this is probably one of the best videos you've done. REALLY appreciate it. My technique was/is getting REALLY sloppy, so I'm going to have to go back and revisit the basic stroke and posture. The guy that taught me to shoot bows said the same. The same idea really accounts for both. I've also got some target panic with both archery and pool, so I'll have to work on that as well.

I am very happy you mentioned elbow drop as that topic has messed up a lot of players - including myself. It is not close to natural to keep the elbow from dropping on every shot. I have seen many players struggle with trying to keep the elbow from dropping and it has screwed their game up. Almost all high-level to elite players drop their elbows at least a little bit on EVERY shot. Just watch them. There is a KZbin channel run by a guy that says you should not ever drop your elbow. That is totally wrong; it depends on what works for YOU. No one would teach the Efren Reyes fine tuning stroke motion - but it works for him. To each their own. The one thing I think most players need to do is START with their elbow higher.

The amount of time and effort you put into these videos is amazing and it really shows, thank you. After 4 months of playing/practice and watching your videos, I was finally able to break & run a rack in practice, and run out on a friend of mine in the same day! A big problem I have though is when I get down to the last 1 or 2 solids/stripes before the 8 ball, I get out of line and then I have to play a recovery shot while navigating traffic and it always ends my run out. When you first started playing pool, did you experience this struggle when trying to run out racks? And was there something specific that you needed to work on that helped you run racks more consistently?
@Sharivari Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Well, it's hard to tell without knowing what you are doing. As a matter of fact, running the table should become easier when there are less balls left on the table, because you have more space to work the cue ball around the table. But in reality, a lot of players are messing it up more often because they suddenly feel the pressure of running out. So it's very often a mental thing. But you might also choose the wrong patterns and give yourself a much harder time. Maybe this video on the money ball helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4GXdIyArrSYorM
@pool.universe Жыл бұрын
It took me about 5 years and about 2 - 3 thousand hours to get really comfortable with running out racks, although running 8 ball is easier that 9 ball for newer players, as long as the balls are spread nicely. Pay nice attention to 8-ball break, be completely focused. 😉

dominant eye over the que, elbow raised and find the right distance (back arm is 90 degrees to the que, when tip is very close to the que ball) rest of the body will be in alignment, if you do that. then practice back and forward swing in a strait line. last backward swing is very important to get strait.

I have so many questions. I recently bought a table, and me being a absolute begginner, cant do much. My first question: Does the cloth, cue and balls has to be some kind of special in order to be able to perform a back spin? I tried so many times hit the whiteball in the backspin position but never comes back. Also the alignment, I am missing something for sure.. never goes straight my hits. The fun part is.. If I train hitting the white ball to the poket.. I will 100% of the time hit the pocket. But if I put a ball in front of the pocket.. I will probably make the point 10% of the time

Sir Sharivari here we only lack clear definition of cue holding as it must be align with your cueing actions for you to be consistent & be precisely in your shots... hope your next video is to be frank about the auto piloting which goes together with your cue action....

@nvpoolshooter Жыл бұрын
Are you left or right handed? Look right handed in the thumbnail, left handed in the video. Every minute of my practice time is about the stroke. Of course I might be practicing this or that shot, but the question on every shot was how was my stroke? I've recorded myself from behind shooting straight in stop shots. When I miss, there was some twich in my stroke. Made shots, dead straight. Don't know if there's a magic fix for the occasional 'twitch.' I've always shot with a more traditional 'American' style stance. Been playing lately with the snooker players stance just to see if that improves my consistency.

The whole trick to pocket balls is the finger taps on the table 😊. Jokes aside, why do players do this?
@Sharivari Жыл бұрын
The finger taps are creating a vibration on the surface of the pool table. Those vibrations will help your body feel the distance to the object ball, therefore you know exactly how to adjust your aiming for the amount of side spin you are using 😊. Jokes aside, for me it just happens automatically when I am really focused. Didn't even know that I am doing that before I was recording myself on camera.
