Mezz ignite wavy joint 12.2 carbon. Northern Canada's climate is bipolar and it's key to have constant equipment

@ great point about the climate as that can definitely cause problems with wooden shafts for sure

Thanks for the kind words. Ralf truly is one of the great Gent's of the game, really nice guy too. We'll be getting hold of a few of the tips soon and working out the best way to give a few away. I'm keen to try one myself too as like you say a tip that stays it's shape consistently is a rare thing and the holy grail.

Great idea, I will have a look at this for my next video. It will be tricky though as there's no magical answer. Low deflection shafts changed the game slightly in regard to this. I'll definitely come up with something for this next though!

Yeah definitely…. Sho’nuff lol

lol I try my best 😎 mixing comedy and pool. Please don’t forget to check out some of our insane drill takedown videos

Thanks, more coming soon

Thanks, did you see my other attempt lol 😂 also did you want to have a go at a dual livestream drill takedown at some point?

@ yeah I saw the other one where you where taking the mickey on the spin the bottle shot😂. To be honest, I have no idea how to do a dual livestream. I still have a lot to learn as youtuber

You can just use the latest version of the UA-cam mobile app. Then I can email you a link. When you open the link on your phone it will bring you into my live stream at the same time as me. Drop me an email if you want to schedule something in ❤️

Lol Honestly, it just wouldn’t stop spinning for some reason.

Oh him lol… did you see my other attempt here 🔥MUST SEE Bottle Spin ua-cam.com/users/shortsTU3rL5ROrVU?feature=share

@darkSIDEpool yeah lol

Apologies, good point. I wanted to keep this video short and snappy but I have updated the description to reflect how to play it. But for those wondering, playing a perfect stop shot will rely on the distance the cue ball is from the object ball. If it's further away you will either have to hit it with more draw (below centre) or firmer, or sometimes a combination of both... Be confident with the follow through stroke and don't decelerate. Remember this isn't a stun shot, you may be able to achieve a kind of stop shot with a firm stun shot but that is a different shot altogether. This shot is to help players get a feel for where there may be some inconsistencies in their aim or cue action etc....

I didn’t mean to be offensive, I meant from a personal point of view if I was trying to do them I would 😀 I’d be interested to know how much time some of them take for you to make them. I was at a drill 3 hours straight once before I managed to do it

@darkSIDEpool oh yeah no worries. Sorry if I came off like you were offensive by no means... Spinning the bottle 3 hours would yield me at least 20 to 25 shorts editing, uploading and all. The average length is 25 seconds, I put three of those together on tiktok. That's what I get paid for over there and then I either do a all shorts on UA-cam or put them together in a 3-minute video

Cool I’m going to do my own spin the bottle video when I get around to it. I’ll tag you in when I do. I also get a lot of fun out the UA-cam live streams have you ever tried those yet?

@darkSIDEpool I have not, but I plan to this year at some point when I get enough time. I usually don't spend over 45 minutes to an hour a day on this at a time editing and all

@spike1234 cool if you want any tips on the best way to do it just drop me an email as I’ve picked up a few key things doing them over the months. Also up for a dual live stream at some point if you wanted to have a few top players lined up already when they can get the time out their schedules

Thanks. I’ll checkout your trick shots later and see if I can pull a few off. Love doing the drills though as a lot of them require hardly no margin of error on the position front.

@darkSIDEpool understood, That's why my favorite trick of recent is spin the bottle , nothing preset, challenges the imagination because I'm looking for the Epic hardest shot for each scenario most of the time, I'm always looking for that five rail kick or Bank setup after the bottle spin

I do like these type of shots but see a lot of people doing them now. Not sure who was the first to come up with it lol. Some of the shots must take a while to get though and I’d get bored I think after a while lol. I like to do this one though. ua-cam.com/users/shortsfJL4y0rFWpU?si=f4QIu3ZSZbWpWeyb I think my table is too slow though to make it in 2

Eye dominance does tend to influence the way you stand so it makes sense that if you are left eye dominant you play left handed. I’m right and right. However, there is no golden rule, if a player has an unorthodox approach to striking the cue ball if it works for them that’s fine. The most important thing for me is potting balls consistently and making that cue ball go where I want it to go. Practice of this shot on a regular basis can help a player to fine tune their approach due to the various different issues it may bring up. That’s why it’s such a good shot to train with. If you can get it 5 times in a row nicely your on the right track to success even if you may stand a little different or cue different to other players. A million dollar cue action doesn’t generate a million dollar bank account if you’re still missing shots.

For me in or out doesn't matter so much if I hold it in or when out, what does matter is the fact that it's consistent for me. Nothing can be more natural and consistent as breathing lol... It's more or a pause really, I don't do a deep breath or anything like that, I simply just pause my breathing for a couple of seconds. If you build it into your pre-shot routine it can really be a great way of telling your subconscious mind it's ready to make that all important winning shot! Give it some practice and let me know if it helps you as it helps me?

Stroking your way to the top…

Thanks, each time you want to play a stop shot it will depend on a few things. Distance, cloth speed etc. Further away from the object ball you may need to either strike it lower and firmer. Have a play around and you’ll get the feel of it in no time. Try and hit 5 perfect stop shots in a row then start changing the distance and vary the spin and stroke speed. A stop shot can also be very useful for safety play if you are trying to kill the cue ball behind another ball.

Nice. Don’t be afraid to get it on video and tag us in 💪

lol 😂

In essence for some shots yes that is correct. Especially true for the last example in the video where I exaggerated the effect even more by using low running English. In the first example with the obvious in off in the corner the slower shot works better because there is less throw of the cue ball. Hitting a ball harder at an object ball will always have more throw if the shot is an angular shot. Take a thin cut shot into the side pocket for example. If you hit it harder the cue ball will follow the tangent line more but softer lets you cheat it.

@darkSIDEpool thanks for the explanation. I'm working hard on understanding tangent line with different speeds/top/bottom/skid etc... this helps

Thanks, just set up the first shot like I did then play around with the different stroke speeds and spin types and you’ll get the hang of it in no time

Thanks and you too! I’ve sent you an email regarding the cloth.

​@darkSIDEpool i rewashed a few matches ultimate pool USA. The Brunswick table pockets look large, but the valley coin operated style tables they played on at the Kansas city open were 4" and the commentators mention at the Louisville open that they are even running classes for officiating!

It was actually on one of our live streams this so I was talking to the people watching but thanks anyway…

It’s on my to do list

@darkSIDEpool ❤️

Give it a try mate…

lol something a bit different for a change :)

You should be able to go back already. You can watch the full video again after stream ends on replay too

​@@darkSIDEpoolyeah I know but I'm talking about during the live stream. There's an option that allows you to rewind during the live stream. It would be great if you can but if you can't find it no big deal. Thanks for sharing

@@intercrew99 I'm sure you can do it if you tap on the screen and drag it back... I think you can do that from a PC during the live stream

@@darkSIDEpool thx

Thanks

How much you got 🦬🦬🦬

Yeah just can’t miss with it

Table is full size 9x5 foot. Playing surface is about 100x50 inches. Just factor in your cue size plus another 12 inches or so on top of this and you should be fine.

Daz in his prime on that one...Very tough drill. I'll definitely get it done though. Might try it tonight

@darkSIDEpool Did that one a bit year or more ago, never made it through. Best attempt i got was 5 pockets or so. Maybe ill try it again also.

Thanks!

Thanks, couldn't have hit it much sweeter lol

Sunday 1st Dec for the draw.

Next Sunday mate, I’ll be live again in an hour or so vs match with friend again

Are you talking about the 8 ball at the top of the table? If so ,doesn't really make much difference as long as it's a few inches or so from the rail.

Thanks
