PERSPECTIVE - I think is a great tool to improve your pool game. How others see the table and make decisions. THAT is how I became a better pool player, and continue to grow! Here on my channel, I spend a lot of time editing my team's amateur pool matches, illustrating how *I* see things, for you to enjoy and add your perspectives as well!

Inning example I discuss: 10 total innings (over 5 racks) -5 safeties played -2 dry breaks = 3 potting/playing errors. I always try to identify this stat to try and judge “How I played”.

12:00 this is something I’m starting to learn. I’m very new to APA and pool in general (this is my first session). My captain came up to me after a bad match and told me that my biggest problem is that I’m thinking too much. I have the same problem of getting in my head when I try to worry too much about shape, at least at this stage. Lo and behold I shoot much better when I don’t spend so much time thinking about it lol. I’m definitely still around a 3 or so but it was a nice little eureka moment for me. Turns out I play much better when I play fast.
I think he wanted to observe the shot from his opponent. So i give him the benefit. But at the end beat his ass on the table. Run the table on him. Or play safe as much as you can.
Some of your best stuff Drew!!! Love you picking a shot and showing us how experiment with the same shot.! Thanks... Vince
What happened. Went to check out full match, and it's gone! Enjoy your videos!
This is the worst pool playing I’ve ever seen! What’s the point of showing this? It’s not going to educate people on how to shoot better. But I guess it will make any half way decent shooter laugh their ass off!
I can’t watch, he keeps Saying Rob is a pretty good shot. I want to throw up!
Something I see here a lot from you is your bridge and amnt of cue left out is leading to losing the cue ball. Remember the more cue stick out from your bridge hand directly relates to how much roll you will get after your shot. So these soft shots, choke up and you wouldn’t have over run the 6. Your shot makes up for a lot of issues in your game but as you’ve said many times the fundamentals weren’t ever given to you as you progressed.
11:00 I think that actually did hit the 8 ball first.
One of my teammates' opponents swept the balls with their cue stick after making an early 9, but the cue ball eventually scratched. The balls that were swept wouldn't have interfered with the cue ball path, but the 9 was spotted, and we just had to all work together on where the rest of the balls were before. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE TABLE UNTIL EVERYTHING HAS STOPPED!
WARPED MCDERMOTT 10 YEARS BABY!
Hey Drew.. Can't wait for another video to come out!
….. ok fine!
Hi I've been watching your videos and I like them. In my option you think more about running the rack then you do about winning. You take chance on position that is low percentage then playing a good safe and getting ball in hand.
You are 100% correct. Recently, i’ve been playing better players, that finally gave me a genuine concern for missing. Usually, I’m not worried about it, and know I’m gonna get a crack back at the table. It’s sloppy, it’s careless, and it’s not smart. My game’s been shifting recently, hopefully I get time to provide some updates!
Well done Drew ! it was great to watch your thought process vs the outcome, and how you adjust accordingly... keep practicing those banks ! LOL Vince
Lol they have gotten better since then 🫡
What state do you guys play out of?
AZ
Eh, I'm used to playing in crowded bars. As long as you don't jostle my stick mid-stroke, it's all good.
Yeah… I need to be better at it… lol
Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm digging the format. Think I'll stick around for a bit.
Awesome! Thanks!!!
why do you keep calling a 4 who plays like crap a really good player? i understand respect but like come on we both know the guy can barely control the cue ball if he wants to
🤷🏻♂️
honestly for ron being a 5 in game 2 when he shot the 7 he should have drawn back a bit, im not saying hes shooting bad but for a 5 it could certainly be much more controlled
I agree. A 5 should never lose this match lol he wasn’t playing his best 😪
im going to be honest this Jon shot more like a 2 then a 4 granted ive only watched the first game for 9 years of playing leagues hes clearly learned nothing
🤷🏻♂️😂
19:28 Accidentally tapped the cue ball
😲😲
Having a Players PureX, and I'm really happy with it.
Nice! Thats all that matters!
The problem was, you played a guy using a maple stick and wearing yellow shoelaces. Generally known by the old-timers to be an unbeatable combo.
Omg it is…. Totally slid under my radar Clutch!!!
Where do you and your team traditionally play, like when you have your weekly matchups. City wise
Scottsdale, AZ
If I'm playing a guy like the shark guy, I would not go to table right away when it's my turn. I would sit and wait about 20 seconds or so, then approach the table the opposite side of the cue ball. Make some non sense planning for the next shot to take up more time and test the shark's patience. My personal take on the approach the table quickly player means he will screw up faster.
Hester here knows how to deal with these people!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
This guy Tim is a 5???? Really?? Sorry but he sucks. His form and everything is wrong. He plays like a 3 or a 4 AT BEST. Ron is a way better shot, although has some issues with shape on the next shot. A solid 5, not a 6, Still a good player though.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ His form and stroke needs a LOT of work… he has nights though where he makes everything (with or without shape 😅) so he has some lower inning racks under his belt idk 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
love the analytics and love the faster transition (very smooth)
Awesome! I think most people prefer seeing the whole match though 🤷🏻♂️
Wait a minute. 27:58 you fouled on the carom shot. You struck the 3 first instead of the 2. Shouldn’t the other guy get ball in hand? 🤷🏻♀️
Nah, the 2 went in on the break. You made me look though 😅
THIS WOMAN CAN PLAY! GIRL POWER! KICK HIS ASS MOMMA! 🤩🤛💪
FOUL at 19:30. Shon touched the cue ball before hitting it. Lisa should’ve had ball in hand.
🫨😬
Pockets are like garbage cans.
Dumpsters*
Got him!
Every now and then 💪🏼👊🏼
Good out rack 7!
The more I watch you play, the more I’d like to play you.
You gotta give me the 8 at least!!
You should be out. Rack 6
Well, you got lucky!
Me?!….. never………
Man, you blew rack 5.
You’re telling me….
Why did you lose the cue ball on the break? (4rh rack)
Probably bad execution ! 😬
Shot the 2, too hard.
It’s something I’ve worked on since this match
Like your videos, you should have won the 1st game. I
Youre a decent pool player, just simply not a 7. Im curious if you play in either a very small league grouping with limited talent? I play very similar to you and Im a 5 in the KC area. Your innings should be dictating your skill level. A 7 should have an average inning count between 1-2. Nothing above that
Oh, I’m a 4 at best in this match, I assure you. I will say, yes, this is a small league. In my division here, I am the highest fargo rank (560, albeit robustness 34 🤷🏻♂️). The other 7’s are around 450 I believe. So I know I’m small fish when we go to vegas, but in our bubble of a small league, it’s fair(ish). I promise you I’m just putting up whatever I film on YT, these aren’t my best matches, and this one is downright embarrassing… seriously. I 100% agree with you that a 7 should average 2 or less innings. I have been a 7 in the APA since 2011-2012, I hear you, and the innings have always been my argument for SL. It is incredibly frustrating not to play as good as you know you can, something I deal with constantly. I’d like to say it is just complacency in playing opponents I KNOW I can beat (playing down). Not gonna argue with you that this is not a 7 playing here lol. Some of my videos, I do actually play fairly well. And newer videos I actually count innings out and do the math at the end of the match. …. But I wish I could say “let’s just put that to the test” and play you heads up for a stack of cash 😎 cheers man, still appreciate the feedback! 👊🏼
You would think at least one person would show her how to hold the cue with her bridge hand. She is pretty good at knowing where to hit the object ball to make it but she has no clue ever where the cue ball is going. She could defiinitely be pretty good with a few simple instructions.
100%, I’ve said that several times!!!
Sk would do well to change his back hand position. Getting closer to a 90 degree angle on your grip hand would improve consistency and form.
💯
Hey Drew I hope Vegas went well :) what do you think of my swerve 8-ball runout short on my channel? I just about died from excitement haha no worries if you're too busy keep up the great videos!
Whatta I think??? I think you shoulda took that 10 when you were straight on it, instead of passing it up!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂 nice shooting man, you’ve got a clean stroke!!!! Vegas went great, working on videos from the trip as we speak!
Nice match! Thank you for sharing.
Lol no one watched this one 😔…. The one I actually played pretty well 😂 cracks me up!!!
Thank you!!!
Sharking is strategies that most efficiently separate an opponent from there money. If you know that game you could easily increase your win percentage by 50% in the APA. Unsportsmanlike Conduct in the APA refers to any act to gain an unfair advantage. The rulebook points to cheating and exhibiting poor behavior. Your options are to speak with your division rep and league operator. If they do nothing and your disagreeable enough... do unto others as they do to you. I mean if it isn't an issue then why not. In general I try and be nice until it is glaring obvious about their intent. Participation in something for a long time doesn't change the fact that they might have low intelligence or tweaking off drugs or alcohol. Personally I think there are dumb rules and rules that get ignored. Such as anything that would alter the path of the cue ball is a foul so I kick at a ball and bump an obstructing ball that then allows a good hit is a foul but it happens fairly often. A 45 degree elevation will cure a double hit. You can mark a pocket with a chalk holder but not a cube of chalk. You can scoop the cue ball over another ball for a good hit as long as it wasn't intentional. Which relies on the honesty of the player.... Which is why we have rules in the first place is to remove the honesty portion from a contest. On a side note... Where you in Vegas 3-4 weeks ago with the APA?
I 100% agree with ya man… killing me…. I was!!! We had a blast!!
So you mentioned this in your game against Lee, but the second ball break doesn’t work out amazing for table spread and has a high chance of fail. If you’re teaching this person, I’d recommend teaching them a box break using bottom to allow for more options after break. Once they can run em, move forward to cut 2nd ball breaks.
I like that. I, myself, can’t decide which break I use lol. I often switch it up if things dont work out idk…. I hate the clusters…
Drew how lit are you? lol
nO onE cAn BeaT ME!!!!!………. Shit….
