This is how 6 TIME WORLD CHAMPION, MICK HILL plays pool.

[@_the_concestor_8185]

Mick Hill genuinely is a genius - unbelievable how clearly and insightfully he can express his thoughts at this game.

[@UltimatePool]

There will be a lot more to come from the mind of Mick Hill. Stay tuned.

[@indiemark91]

Agreed. Really thorough insights. Gave me a few eureka moments

[@IOM777]

excellent video and very engaging to listen to. Not many players who are at the top of their sport are able to breakdown and explain what they do and how they do it. Mick is brilliant to watch and is brilliant at commentary.

[@UltimatePool]

We all learn when Mick speaks. A great mind to have with Ultimate Pool.

[@bacontrout]

I've watched a ton of youtube pool coaching vids over the years, and I'd say this is the most informative 15 mins of all that I've seen. You can tell Mick's pool brain is just at the highest level. I've always said outside of fundamentals, its hard to coach pool because so much is about feel and touch, but Mick does an exceptional job here of explaining his processes and describing subtle elements of his shots. And might I say, remembering Mick as a chubby youngster with a dodgy quiff - he's looking fit as a fiddle here!

[@KK-sg5gl]

Meh this was okay...you should check out Tor Lowry on youtube.

[@tct84]

@@KK-sg5gl Tor Lowry isn't a five time world champion

[@KK-sg5gl]

@@tct84 never said he was. Just said his videos are better at doing what these guys tried to do here. Either you watch his videos and agree, or don’t. I don’t care. I learned absolutely nothing from this video. Which is fine, it’s not meant for my skill level. I’d like to see all these bar box guys play rotation on a 9 foot table though.

[@CornishTigerTV]

I loved this. So much value given by a genius of the game.

[@Jiayne1335]

Micks absolutely class,and down to earth and humble to boot

[@UltimatePool]

He absolutely is.

[@slidysteven8002]

this is absolute class cheers

[@UltimatePool]

Thank you. 🙏

Imagine Mick giving instructions on making a cup of tea.. 1) pick up kettle using your right hand, placing your 4 fingers around the handle, and the thumb underneath, at precisely 7 on the clock face, then place under the cold water tap, that has been running for 6.8 seconds, and part fill the kettle to just above half way. Carefully insert the plug into the socket, before flicking the switch to allow electricity to run through, which in turn will heat up the kettle element, this heating up the water to the desired 100°c at a rolling boil!! 😄 He really is the professor of pool knowledge!!

[@volnii_strelok]

The machine!! Please post more videos like this, thank you.

[@4zoboi171]

I imagine even a non-pool player would really enjoy watching this. Mick is box office. There are tips in here for all levels of 8 ball, and the Golf analogy was class.

[@apestrong]

This is the best talk-through of how to play English pool I’ve ever witnessed, and incredibly clearly presented too. If Mick ever decided to go into presenting/coaching/KZbin the world would be a much better place for it. Top rate

[@beneggo8062]

He already does commentate and he’s as insightful as you’d imagine

[@UltimatePool]

He’s a great part of Ultimate Pool team. We have more of this to come. Anything you would like to see more of??

[@1bmxingkid]

@@UltimatePool absolutely loved the video, he talked about the different grips on the cue and how they affect the shot. I'd love to hear more about this!

[@apestrong]

@@beneggo8062 Thank you, I will be watching more UP then!

[@apestrong]

@@UltimatePool An insight into the differences between shot style preferences and managing your mental game for a final/tough match versus an easier/less important game would be very valuable and not something I've seen a lot of. Also I'm sure there's lots more insight to be heard not relevant to this specific layout so repeating the format of this video just on more games would be great too. Thanks! I'll definitely be watching more UP now I know he's a commentator.

[@MrSegopa]

Very impressive tutorials with clear elaboration of how the balls should be played and natural grip to be able to be consistent in your cueing & avoiding being chasing a win either... Most important is to be decisive in your pattern play & confidence behind each shot... 🤷‍♂️

[@Deadeye1967]

Brilliant tips Mick. Seen lots of your videos all great, this one in particular had several real gems of information. Top man, and you give these amazing tips for free.

[@abanjoplayer]

love this! Had different ideas about what order of shot to play but when he explained it, it made sense

[@geoffcarlton4047]

Genuinely one of the best instructional videos I've seen, lots to take away and try to apply to my game.

[@SimonAyersPool]

Great video! I went to one of his coaching days and it was a lot of this sort of stuff talking about patterns and trying to use a rolling cue ball rather than stuns and screws. Much better way to play the game.

[@jeremykothe2847]

I was going to say he'd make an awesome coach. Good to hear he is!

[@isaak2861]

Mick hill needs his own coaching KZbin channel. Class

[@Supersonic73]

Great player, explains things so easy to improve your game

[@eringobreathtiocfaidharla1446]

I've just improved my game before I go and hit a ball , a breath of fresh air to hear a breakdown of this simplicity,he's exegesis of the game is second to noone ,bravo 👏

[@5part4]

6:37 I get the canon and everyone is happy. Apart from the opponent 🤣🤣. His explanation is fantastic!! Detailed and can help you win more games by knowing more options of what to do and what not to do. Unlike Ronnie o slutivian I bet he would say hit this do that and win. If you miss break the cue 🤣🤣

[@bengalvin9940]

Class, loved the golf analogy

[@sonicdiablo8968]

Brilliant, love videos like this. Very helpful.

[@stevejones3180]

Superb video. His OCD makes for great instruction. 👍🎱🎱

Another excellent video Mick 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@patricklinyard1119]

Thank you for this it was genuinely interesting. Unfortunately he is going to have to come back and do one a week now for our viewing pleasure…😬🙏

[@lloydlivsey6261]

Thank you ☺️

[@UltimatePool]

👍

[@leewalker7712]

It would be nice to know whether playing in the Midlands at PJ's pool hall taught Mick anything. Great insights into the mind of Mick and how he plays.

[@jonnyboy5000]

Just let Mick speak PLEASE !! This is gold

[@Bart_Depestele]

Great video, thanks Mick

[@benmorris118]

Interesting to hear him talk about a "floppy grip" on the flick with side. I do the same, but i dont know why. If i play it with a firmer grip, it feels like mistakes creep in

[@johbracket2714]

more of these from the champ please.

[@5part4]

11:39 I got lost when golf terms came out because driver to me is disc drive in a ps5 🤣.

[@mahesha4031]

Hi... What is your tip brand ? Is it Soft / Medium / Hard tip? Thank you

[@KramF10]

Sounds like the average pub pool player before they take each shot 😂

[@nickwinters3657]

Great video thank you what was the makers name of that gentleman's cue please

[@TheTruthIsOutDere]

Hi ya I've been playing pool since the age of 10, for 42 years , tbh , I always try and get rid of the hardest ball early if I can , also , I try and clear all the balls the opposite end of the table of the black (9) as I llke to keep my game compact if I can , I map my route once broke , and also see the best pocket the black can go in and play my shots progressively with that black shot in mind

[@MichaelScerri147]

Nice one boys

[@traichan147]

They may have mick hill but we got mick scerri 💪💪

[@UltimatePool]

Thanks for watching.

[@geoffcarlton4047]

Ultimate Golf

[@superwario2741]

Feel like this is the difference between a player like him and Chris Melling. Chris Melling doesn't care who he plays, he's looking for the clearance from break and nothing less regardless of the opponents calibre.

[@mrfister1899]

The other player shouldn't factor in any shot you play off the break. What has that got to do with anything if you're good and are confident in clearing, which to be fair, you should be at this level

[@_cole_shugg9409]

camorra man sucks lol almost every time mick said what ball his going to take they flick the camorra off the table

[@jamiebarleym4]

Jesus this guy is sending me to sleep

[@jonlawrance8383]

Can't watch this, he talks too much
