The Yo-Yo Drill - Fast Improvement For Amateur Pool Players! (Cue Ball Speed And Direction Training)

[@wademckinney9680]

People, I am a C player. Noone has taught me more than Niels. I watch and practice everyday. Thanks to this teacher, I just ran my first 8 ball rack! Won 20 bucks too!

[@jbart9309]

New rule: I have to give Mr. Feijin $10 every time I watch one of his vids more than a few times. Prolly watched this a half dozen times. I don't "love" his videos on drills - they are hard! But damn, they have taught me more than anyone else's.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Haha let’s do it 😀😀🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks!!!

[@rickmiller9368]

Started out running 4s and 6s…. High run is now 21 on 4 inch Diamond pockets. One of the absolute best drills in my bag. Great explanation Neils!!!

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

I'll take the 8

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Hahahaha!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Keep those numbers rolling my man 💪🏼🔥😄

[@kennethstavig7033]

I've been practicing this every practice session and really has humbled me but I've stayed at it and it has helped my game immensely thank you Neil

[@jeffknapp9467]

Ok Terminator, this wasn't as easy as I thought. Gonna need a few days with this drill

[@johnnyroc]

I’m an APA SL7/9, this is the most useful pool video I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re most welcome! Enjoy it!!

[@cheyennevaldez]

Tried this for the first time today and it kicked my butt! Once I understood just how low to hit the cue ball and with what speed, it got a bit smoother. Started with one ball, moved up to two. It’s going to take a ton of practice, but I can already see how this drill is going to help me. I need a bunch of assistance with cue ball control, so I’m excited to master this. Thank you for sharing! Always look forward to your videos.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Cool! Remember to set up the shots individually if they are tough for you and work on them to get some feel for them. Then the runs will start coming easier 💪🏼😄

[@alexandpool]

I met Niels when he played the Nordic Championship in Norway. It was truly a wonderful experience to see him play and talk to him. He will always be one of my favorite players of all time

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks a lot!!! I remember going to Oslo and playing a lot of the locals, was great fun in "elbow room" 😀😊

[@alexandpool]

Hope to see you in future tournements here 😊

[@香菇-q4z]

I'm a c player from Taiwan.Your pool lesson really helps me alot. I'm struggling at my long draw stroke rightnow. Hope that I could see some of the lessons about that.,and improve more by watching your video. Sorry about my poor English by the way 😅

[@theglobalcitizen2291]

I watched this instructional video a few days ago and really liked your attention to details. I, therefore, searched on KZbin to have a look at your matches. I watched your match against Van Boening and Jayson Shaw. Meeen this is the real Terminator. Continue teaching us your ways.

[@xDuWuTang]

I don’t know how every new video happens to be the thing I’m working on in my game, but I appreciate it so much. Thanks Niels!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Good to hear!! Keep it up 💪🏼😄

[@charlesdabbs9132]

Thanks brother!!! You are a tremendous pool player and a great instructor!!! I’ve actually decided to try and imitate your pool game into mine!! You are a true champion on and off the table!! Thanks for all you do for the sport we love so much!!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Thanks Charles! Glad you're enjoying the channel sir! 😀

[@joelrhodes8549]

Yes.. You get a thumbs up. I love watching you shoot the drills.. Showing what to do when getting out of line helps tremendously.. Keep the drills coming.. TY.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You got it Joel! 😄😄👍🏼

[@YaworskiPoolPractice]

Wow. This is an extremely powerful drill. I especially love how you broke down the 3 most common ways you play position on this type of shot. I learned something immediately. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge champ. I will give this a try 100%

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yeah go for it. 💪🏼🔥👍🏼😄

[@howdy2496]

That was a good clarification on how to play each shot, according to the angle. Great video!

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome!! 🙏🏻😄

[@danielhobbs5799]

TY for your videos. They remind me to do the right shots. After playing for a long time I forget to think some times and just shoot.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

You’re welcome Daniel!!

[@DooWops4U2]

This is a marvelous drill. I'm always running into these shots and i worry more about the tangent line rather than making the correct hit on the cue ball. Thank's Niels

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Go for it! 😄🔥👍🏼

[@jeffbreedlove7437]

Thanks. Just what I was looking for.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Enjoy!!😄👍🏼

[@lqgash9077]

That's a great drill, helps with not being afraid of those scratches and taking a confidtn stroke.

[@seanstevenson5424]

My favorite drill was the 3balls on each side,outside ball to outside ball.This drill looks like it might be better thanks for all you do I'm recovering from broken leg so now I can at least do drills.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Glad to help!!! 😀 Hope you will recover and be back in action soon!! Perhaps my "Back to the Basics" playlist will be handy for you to work with as a start 👍 kzbin.info?search_query=niels+feijen+back+to+the+basics

[@jbart9309]

I've done most of Niels' drills, but this one gives me the most trouble. I can make every shot he shows, and a few more that come up a lot, but I usually get out of line after six balls. My advice to anyone struggling is keep doing it. Five minutes a day. Speed control and a consistent stroke - same backswing and speed - are key. Most important, play around with your tip position. When Niels shows the tip position, it's not clear if he is one or two tips below center. You may need to position the tip a little higher or lower, or a little more or a little less outside. Do the Terrific Three and Skillful Square drills in tandem. Both utilize the Yo-You shot so you get more practice on them, but you also have other options.

[@dylanharrington744]

I Play Uk 8 ball and I can see the benefit of this drill. Having tighter pockets, I might try it with the Object ball a touch closer to the Pocket and move it a little further as the Pot becomes easier. Thanks Terminator.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes or perhaps move the object balls just off the rails

[@argemirorafaelsierraperez6050]

Excelente,eres el mejor saludos desde Colombia, me encantan tus videos

[@johntube2525]

Thanks Niels the Terminator! New subscriber and keep up the great work. I always click the like button to help you out. I have not watched all of your tutorials and drill videos, but the ones I have watched and attempted have helped me. I am one of the C minus players, maybe D+, LOL! So, I have to try and try again and pay attention to speed and cue tip placement in order to get any kind of consistency. You make it look so easy! I make it look hard with all my missed shots.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Awesome John!! Thank you for supporting my channel!! 👏👏 I've just made a nice video with a great beginners drill. Feel free to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDSkmWIYs54h9U

Having a hard time with frozen ball on rail, this will be an extreme good drill for this, just want to thank you for all your video, i try it put all your advice in my game and in only couple week it already change a lot, the pause on back swing is probably the one that made my swing more accurate

Keep putting time in it, things will become more standard!💪😀

[@Wyrmsfire]

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen I have been working on this every day. It's becoming muscle memory for me. I don't have to think about it so much anymore. I am seeing lots of scratches though. Not sure why. Maybe too much bottom and not enough spin.

[@smileyh888]

Question: why freeze the object balls on the rail? 95% of the time, balls are NOT frozen, so it seems to make sense to spend more time practicing unfrozen shots.

[@hwbwgs585]

İ think same

[@bacardy330]

Great drill. Ill give it a try having some issues in pocketing the white ball in the side. Thanks for sharing

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Yes that’s exactly what you will get better at. Try to out a bit more spin on the ball, just one tip more to avoid the side at certain angles. Find your limits 👍🏼👍🏼

[@hanspw]

This is a great drill... 👆👍

[@briank3321]

This is one of my favorites, always makes the opponents wonder....it comes up a lot with slight variations. The side scratch is big as the angles get bigger so this helps with that visualization a lot. Keep up the winning there Niels and of course the excellent videos.

[@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen]

Tnx Brian! Yes find your limits to avoid the side pockets 💪🏼😄👍🏼

[@Nohoihoewa]

Yo Niels Last time we chatted was when I was learning the diamond to diamond stroke draw back to the corner pocket and since then my stroke has gotten so much better and my potting game has improved tremendously Now I will try this yo yo drill because like you mentioned that these are the type of shots that will accrue during the game Thanks for your videos and drills Cheers

Hi, This drill is just critical. To win tournaments, one just must have this type of control and pocketing control. When viewing the runout, from the 9, if you cannot visualize the paths off the rail, how could you accurately layout the run? I will perfect it. Thank you so much
