Posting your "bad" matches is way more constructive than the people in any hobby who only post their successes. It's so much more helpful because you say what you could have done different and it's often things that other amateurs like myself should be keeping in mind!

[@kriswood1354]

Hey Josh, it's the Alaska Dude again. I started up the TAP league up here and we have our first night this coming Monday. I will be promoting your channel to my players. A big thank you for all your work putting these videos together! Hope to see you at Nationals!

[@Amateur_Pool]

Awesome man! Best of luck with your new venture!!

[@lifeinbuyck]

its nice to know even really good players have their off days...hard to keep going when your stroke is so off. Thanks for the video!

[@Amateur_Pool]

We all have bad days.. even pros! Thanks for watching

[@skoalface3269]

I appreciate the content. As an SL4 (getting better every day and just finished my 2nd session), I enjoy the way you commentate and explain your thought process regardless of win or loss.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thank you!!

[@charlesmertes3109]

Love your commentary,so entertaining great channel!

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thank you Charles!

[@briandavis2783]

Josh, thanks as always for the content. I feel your pain I am a 9 in ACS and have been having a good session up until this week, I lost every match could not get out of my own way. Between the scratches and the just plain bad position play it was horrible, went home and got back on the table to try to figure it out but just cant feel comfortable with my stroke. Need to figure it out. I have a qualifier this weekend in your favorite League. LOL!!

[@Amateur_Pool]

LOL... good luck in your qualifier! I hope you pull yourself out of that hole. I'm working on building a ladder to get out of mine!

[@briandavis2783]

Thanks, Well I did end up winning the qualifier. I spent couple hours the day before doing nothing but potting half table straight in shots. center, follow and draw, Must of worked i shot a lot better over the weekend. Ran straight threw winner side.

[@Amateur_Pool]

@@briandavis2783 nice work!

[@Shizzymynizzy]

This was me the other night. Started questioning if I've ever practiced in my life. Took a couple days off and I'm back at it 💪

[@Amateur_Pool]

Ya, I've got a couple of rough matches to post but, played like my old self last night.. I'm feeling a bit better now too

[@jamesfry7521]

Good job guys great match !

[@ClutchCarson]

It's always fortunate to have bad day when your opponent is having a bad day. At least things even out.

[@davewhyte8169]

hi josh. enjoy your sense of humor and watching some matches even when lil' timmy doesn't get good shapes ya know? you already know... have a suggestion to get you off the struggle bus. your big issue in this match was not following through the cue. you were consistently stopping your stroke and pulling back. let that stroke out and give us some B&R. rooting for you!

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thanks, Dave! That is my biggest problem, when i'm not shooting well. I tend to pull back on my stroke! Great observation!

[@davegreen1104]

15-9-14-8. Around 34.20 an ideal stop shot pattern. Easy to see from over here

[@Amateur_Pool]

For sure.. some bad decisions were made in the making of this video, lol...

[@antoniog9814]

11:00 Duuude, how about playing safe with the 10 ball? Hit it lightly, get it off the rail while leaving the cue ball on the rail and leave him an off-bank that he has a very low percentage to make. You may even get lucky and block his 6 with your 10.

[@brianmack6285]

I do feel better about my game now! Thank you!! Then I started thinking about it. Your bad game is looking closer to my typical game. And my bad game, fugettaboutit! Well that was a fun 10 minutes. Thanks..... I think?!? 😂 PS: white on red looks good.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Lol... great comment.. thanks for watching!

[@birdmun]

@27:58 Did you have any angle on the 10 to just follow forward with left to roll to shape on the 9?

[@Amateur_Pool]

I think the angle was opposite. Would have taken me to the right

[@toddrobertson1398]

Whoooo that first rack was a tough watch lol but that’s how it goes sometimes and why we are amateurs. Even pro’s play bad now and then.

[@Amateur_Pool]

Ya, it was a rough one!!

[@losoj30]

Good match, fellas!

[@christabobst4852]

Did I see R.I.P Charlie at the end of this video?? I'm so sorry for your family's loss 😢 I know how it feels to lose a fur baby 💔🙏

[@Amateur_Pool]

Thank you. We just put him down Tuesday! 😢

[@Senior-tr4le]

Hey Josh! The team wants to get some shirts made for Vegas, my idea was to have "Short Rail" on them somewhere. Thoughts? lol

[@Amateur_Pool]

I love it. If you want to reach out to me on FB messenger or something, we could talk about the details

[@jesseellis946]

You already knooooow!

[@Amateur_Pool]

🤣😁

[@raelynnclinard]

rough match! Hate when i have these and somehow still end up winning.. it feels bad lol.. way to stick it out, Josh!

[@Amateur_Pool]

lol... ya, I was in a slump for about a month! it was a rough time.

[@raelynnclinard]

@@Amateur_Pool i been in a slump for what seems like 3 years lol :/

[@Amateur_Pool]

@@raelynnclinard lol.. same!

[@TuanNguyen-nd2sz]

Can you shoot the same with different weight sticks ?

[@Amateur_Pool]

Ya, it's just getting used to it

[@wesguitarra91]

Josh I love you bro but I was thoroughly confused about that first ball in hand you set up 😂

[@Amateur_Pool]

Me too, lol.. I've been playing like sh*t for a few weeks.. coming out of it now though. Played solid last night

[@wesguitarra91]

@Amateur_Pool I didn't realize you had to play from in the kitchen lol it makes sense now, my bad
