The Skill Shot In Pool | Pool School

[@eddieb8337]

All of your videos are well thought out and beautifully presented.

[@PoolSchool]

Thank you appreciate that.

[@andyrandall289]

best explanation ive come across yet, sharing to my team players for sure, you have a new subscriber 🙂

[@stevebooth8727]

This is why blackball is superior

[@judhi]

Cool animations and slow motion 😊👍

[@HiskekDoll]

You should make a video about the Pool Table Racking Cloth so we all know what it’s good for 😊

[@jaybe2908]

I also play World rules, how about a video on tactical play/shots/getouts for World rules?

[@PoolSchool]

Yep, definitely something I’ll look to do.

[@ViableSolutions]

Thanks for the video m8. Keep the great videos coming.👍😉

[@harry011984]

I am a bit confused how screwback transfers forward spin into the object ball. Does it have something to do with the time the balls are in contact with screwback? In any case, I will give this one a go.

[@teedotaj]

I thought the video did a good job of showing how it works! But for more exaggerated visuals, think of how gears work. Gear effect

[@PoolSchool]

Yes gears are a good reference to what is going on. The cue ball is spinning backwards so pushes up into the object ball, which in turn becomes forward spin. It is a very small amount because the balls are only in contact for a fraction of a second, but it’s enough to be useful in some situations.

[@Jay_Eddo]

Blackball rules are the best rule set.

[@johncoach14]

Good video, but 'momentum' is not the correct word/thing. It's the 'spin' of the first ball that takes it forward after the hit/contact. That's why at a distance, the first ball has time to pick up some forward spin. It's been a while since I played in the UK (I moved to the USA 10 years ago), so I'd be interested in a video to explain the differences between all the (you mentioned 3) rule sets? Here in the USA, the main sets of rules used in bars and clubs is APA and BCA. There is never the '2 shot' rule here, or 'open' table. And they tend not to count fouls that are NOT on/with the cue ball, ie. touching or even moving another ball with clothes or stick.

[@muhammadghazy8]

I don't understand 3:06 You said it was a foul in world rules to pot an opponent's ball, how is it not a foul here then? Just because you didn't pot your own ball?

[@Glenno1982]

In World Rules, it's a foul to pot an opponent's ball, whether or not you pot your ball.

[@Leinsterken]

Correction is perfect boss. Good video

[@PoolSchool]

Cheers. I was really worried about making this one, not playing Blackball rules myself. Just knew I'd make a mistake! Didn't realise I was watching a video where they were playing Supreme rules when a foul wasn't given after a failed attempt at the skill shot.

[@Leinsterken]

@@PoolSchool ya dine a great job all the same simple correction makes another great video. They changed the name of supreme rules by the way....

[@PoolSchool]

Thank you. Haha of course they have! I can’t keep up!

[@dnbmania]

Which one of those triangles that you own do you prefer?

[@PoolSchool]

I prefer the Pro Racker personally.

[@markmeehan9167]

I play world rules myself and prefer it to the skill shot but it’s good to know how to play both Incase great vid man 👍

[@joebel720]

Hello, i have a question please, sometimes when i play a shot to pocket à ball in the middle pocket, i made thé objet ball in the pocket but it s return off 😐 i didnt found the explication on youtube

[@PoolSchool]

Sorry I don’t quite understand your question?

[@joebel720]

@@PoolSchool Sometimes when I play a ball hard to the middle pocket, the ball goes in and out of thé pocket 😢

[@PoolSchool]

If you hit a bit hard enough it’s quite possible for it to bounce off the back of the pocket and back out again. The simple answer is to not hit the ball so hard, particularly in middle pockets.

[@joebel720]

@@PoolSchool thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ❤️

[@Jin.media-production]

Forget the skill shots, how the hell did you creat that intro?? I have been rewinding and rewinding the video but I just can't figure out how you guys did it and it can't be CGI, and if it is... then I am quitting my film school.

[@PoolSchool]

🤣I'm afraid it is CGI, I work as a 3D animator for a living so do all the graphics and everything myself. Please don't quit on my account!!

[@Jin.media-production]

@@PoolSchool well, you doing a fantastic job, because you sure did fool me😂 Keep at it!

Looks like it makes it easier! I don't like that rule.

[@noel_1988]

Is there an argument for a skill shot black onto red 😜

[@jammy2858]

World rules are awful.
