Funny how simple of a concept this is, and yet vast majority of pool players never think about advantages of aiming to a specific part of the pocket. There are times you see a pro barely make a ball, and most people don’t realize it was intentional bc they were trying to get the max positional value out of the shot. So it looks like they barely made the shot when in fact they hit it exactly where they aimed it.

When are we going to get some new videos? Love these cards! I carry my deck in my case all the time!

Do the "solutions" for these runouts exist anywhere? If not this would be great content for your channel Drew. As a lower skill level player, I find even the yellow cards challenging. I can usually figure out something that works, but I wonder if it's really the best plan.

Just curious on what shaft and and but you shoot with

I enjoy the game a lot but it’s difficult to get my ppl to play the game

You showed great character by not taking ball in hand! Rule the rules, but good sportsmanship means so much. By the way, love your commentary.

I’m headed to the pool hall and trying these out. I’ll record all these and post on my channel, no cuts. These so far are easy for me. Are there harder cards?

I’m going to get these cards. I get tired playing 12 ball, or 10 ball….9, or 8. I’m just not being challenged much anymore. Maybe these cards are my answer… I only practice practicality, and these seem practical. In my shopping cart.

We will only watch this show if you promise us to stay quiet during the game. Good bye!

Drew, enjoy your content... can you give the answer on 8 ball.... is scratch loss of game? i know apa is different from BCA and world pool... your thoughts ....Vince

I like the longer videos.

Nice! We had a 14 point night once. It got us to first place for the session by one point. It was epic.

I call foul he grabbed the cue ball while it was moving pretty good!!

Great Stuff Drew... I got the cards, but wasn't sure how to use them.... this was most helpful ! Keep doin wht ur doin !.... Vince

great match, and even better the sportsmanship you have shown

If I’m understanding what you mean by “drag shot” correctly, yes it is a great shot to have in your “bag of tricks”. Highly recommend practicing that. If you can get it down it’s effective at almost any length of shot.

Just got these cards the other day, thanks for doing this video i had never heard of this game. I find it helps me keep running drills longer by forcing myself to do the full set of a color. Today i ran all blue and all red for my practice session. Most cards I ran on 1 try but the cards that gave me trouble really gave me trouble lol. Thanks for the good videos

You have great videos. I like learning from other developing players because we have common issues. I get stroke instruction from Mark Wilson twice a year, but pattern play instruction/training I have to do on my own. I’ve been playing for 3 1/2 years. I’m a developing player-APA 7/9. Pattern play videos are extremely helpful. The other mid - level league players don’t typically advance to a high-level, so it can be the blind leading the blind lol. You seem very knowledgeable, but still learning just like me. I will watch all your videos Drew! Thanks for your efforts. Cliffy J

I feel like your 9 ball game is a mental issue, you shoot very well but made some big mistakes in 9 ball. You really need to work on your safety game. By the time you got to 8 ball i could see you where in your own had and had no confidence. Hey we all have a bad night. I enjoy the channel tho

Ron, bro, hit some softer. If you miss you can leave yourself a duck and maybe a pocket blocker. Couple ball you chased all over. Thanks for sharing your match!

Did you say “betwixt”? lol

I like how you show your misses… I’m learning too and it’s helpful to see different levels of players giving tips.

Im too petty, i wouldve just started doing it even worse to him.

Drew in Masters 8ball can you hit the 3rd ball during a break?

I've never heard of these cards until stumbling across your video (which I'm literally watching as I type this). I have ordered a set of said Hill-Hill cards and eagerly await their arrival.

I used an 11.8 OB low-deflection shaft on my Viking cue. That was my first "expensive" cue. I switched to a Predator cue with a 314 shaft and that's my sweet spot. About 2 years ago I switched to a Revo shaft 12.4. I don't think I'll ever go back to a 11.x diameter ... there's no need for that.

much better this way for sure I like the camera veiw better.

An opponent with a slow pace can be found at any skill level. Having that to affect your game is something to work on (I've definitely been there) Just relax, stay focused and play your game. The way I try to see it is that the longer he takes, he's putting more pressure into all of his shots. Thanks for the content, Drew. Hopefully you come to Miami sometime. There are plenty of good pool halls here.

More videos like this please! It’s was so helpful.

Completely agree with a ball on the rail by the side pocket. It’s the worst spot your ball can be in considering no clusters. I tell my teammates it’s worth using your ball in hand on to go right after it. Pro tip, when taking BIH for a ball in that position, look for a ball to shape that goes into the opposite side pocket. Then roll into that position. It helps bc you can keep the cueball close to the rail.

The last shot of the game at 1:04:50 I completely agree with you on cutting the 8 in the side. Corner or bank were too tough for a struggling 5. However, you gave him too much to do with the 3-rail, 2-way position which was also gonna server as a defensive if he missed. I bet he went with it bc he originally wanted to play a defensive and figured he would listen to you bc he could also win the game on your shot. However, as the highest SL player on my team (thus the one who coaches during timeouts). I have come to find that you can’t give a lower SL a shot that is meant for a higher SL, ever. But especially in high stress or difficult moments (which are always in timeout situations bc if the shot was easy they wouldn’t be asking you what to do lol) When there is multiple ways to play the same shot and one is not glaringly obvious over another, Never talk a player off their shot. Just help them execute their shot to the best of their ability. 1. It’s their shot and they can’t be mad at you when it goes wrong lol. But 2. They simply can’t execute a high SL shot in the first place. That’s why they are a low SL. (And also they gonna be pissed when they take your advice and scratch the 8 on the rubber 😂) Having said all of this, I love the way you shoot Drew. We all just struggling amateurs. Great channel

Love the conversation about the Z-shaft. I have a buddy that uses it. He thinks he is better than he is. I don’t think he realizes how small the tip is compared to most cues. He loves to shoot “homerun” shots and his last match he miscued like 4-5 times. I am thinking now it’s a tip thing and he doesn’t realize he doesn’t need as much extreme English bc of the tip he uses. I’ll definitely have a conversation with him about it now. Thanks

I picked up a used Predator 8K-1 years back. Didn’t realize how good the cue was at the time. The leather grip is so much better than Irish linen. I love how interchangeable the Predator brand is. I upgraded to a Revo shaft after winning a fantasy league, the unilock joint lets the new shaft go right on the old butt. Then got the butt extension and use it when needed. Much better than having to grab a bridge. I was a good shot before i got into the Predator brand. It definitely improved my game by a SL just having a top end cue.

Not sure if he's still on your team, but my advise to Alex is to work on his stance. It's very inconsistent and that often affects the way he hits the balls. Making those adjustments in the fundamentals are key for low level players.

Was no one else from your team watching the game? obviously Alex doesn't know what a double hit is either. It should have been called out before the next shot even happened. Games between low level players need to be watched because lots of mistakes like that happen.

no way that guy is a 4. Lisa, on the other hand, is one of those players you always want on your team. A low number who is confident like that can win you tournaments.

Game 2: The guy made a foul on the cue ball while attempting to "bank" the 10 ball...no one noticed that???

Drew - Hi I'm a SL 7 in APA - I took screen shots of your video showing the cards - I couldn't find the actual game where it was available for purchase, I for sure will purchasing. Just the few that I did use from your video--man its not as easy as you think! Thanks for the introduction to this game/practice... I hope to acquire the game soon. Don - Oklahoma.

Without the lines I'd probably not watch. Its good enough that you say how you're hitting it

I use a Lucasi for my break cue. I’ve watched your brake in a bunch of videos. Why do you brake from the middle and from the rail? Have you tried to go from the right diamond at the line and use your bridge on the table? I know you have mentioned working on your brake, just some ideas.

Great video, Drew! I've been watching pro ultimate pool and definitely enjoy that. Those runouts are insane! Are you joining that league?

You are getting married???🤮 Oh poo 💩💩💩.... Dude, I am so going to miss your channel ☠😫

Just won tri cup....can't wait to meet ya in Vegas bud....good video...

At 16:25 why not roll forward after the 3 and play the 2? You could still leave an angle to get back up for the 1, 6, or 7

Are you posting any more Vegas matches anytime soon....hint, hint...⛲

This is a great idea. I've tried to find this game for sale on line. No one has it in stock with no date of when it will be available. Where can I get this game.

Three things. 1. in the first rack, he would have probably beaten you if, when the 8 was tied up with his balls, he cleared the balls in the middle of the table while playing position to safe the 4. 2. You break problem, what you need to do is forget your break mechanics because you're spreading the balls, just visualize balls going in pockets before you break and they will start dropping. 3. F the Steelers lol.

Does Amazon delivers to oversea country? I am from Malaysia

Hey,Drew what cue do you use,,

Great video Drew!! I am going to get those cards.
