I recently retired from being a Professional Pool Player and England International to focus on a commentating and broadcasting career. My aim for this channel is to pass on some of the things I learned along the way, some coaching tips, practice routines and drills, as well as some insights into my broadcasting career.

Recreating a Great Shot by Gareth Hibbott
Or maybe just take the skill shot instead as it was lined up perfectly. This way, you dont give the oppoonent any shot
You could take that option. But IMO the loss of turn is the best play.
Pretty sure it doesnt have to be in the same pocket
It doesn’t. Can be any pocket
Except in Blackball. That would be classified as a "deliberate foul" and would result in a "loss of game".
True. But my videos will always be referring to international 8 ball rules.
Sidespin is for reaction off the cushions. Not the bottom cloth.
That’s a nice way of putting it. But point of the video is how much of the table you can get to without side spin.
using side with top or bottom gives very accurate control.
It can. But isn’t alway needed. And for the majority of players can make things harder.
He's talking about the object ball shot line and not the line on the table
Yes, play down the line towards the next object ball.
Yes, I agree with this. See it all the time, needless side.
Pretty sure if I did this with any of my mates they'd say it was a foul
Your mates would be wrong. This is allowed in every major ruleset around the world.
2 questions 1 do you use stun to allow the black to follow in 2 is this allowed in international pool rules
You can play this shot with any spin. But backspin can help. And yes it’s allowed in international 8 ball rules.
Or simply, think of where the next ball gonna be, and think where cue ball wanna place next
It’s more about how you get there with more margin of error.
Very interesting, not sure if it's something I've really thought about, perhaps subconsciously, but will try think about it next time I play for sure. I'd definitely just somehow end up behind that red near your watch though instead! :D
See if this helps. Certainly gives you more room to play with. Means you don’t have to be perfect.
"In line with your next shot" is how I've heard it described. You can't always do that, but it works a lot better if you can visualize the shot line you need to get to the next ball, and gives you a much larger margin for error.
Yes, I use that term as well. Agree with you completely
This channel is quickly becoming one of the best cue sport ones out there! Wishing you great success ahead :)
Thanks. Very kind of you to say.
Thank you for telling me this, now I can focus on potting the ball first then moving to side spin once I'm consistent in it.
And when you know you need it for position.
Man, that tight positional play is something I need to get down. Thanks for bringing that up, I'll have to incorporate that into my game more often. I always find I'm trying to stretch for position with sidespin and I'll run just a little bit past or a little short, but if I don't use side, does it really make that much of a difference? Thank you for that thoughtful insight, Simon. Love your UP commentary. Keep up the good work.
It depends on the shot you are playing. There are times when side is needed. but point of the video is to highlight how much of the table you can get to without side. Biggest thing, is to learn your naturals and what you can do with the centre of the cueball, then you can add side when needed. Thank you. its a lot of fun working on the shows.
Thankyou this was really helpful! Love what you are doing, you have a very calming way of teaching!
Thank you. Glad it helps. Just trying to pass on what I have learned through playing and broadcasting
Fun!
This is really cool and inspiring but I think I need a tutorial for the tutorial😅(its my skill issue😂😂😂)
😂 what can I help with?
I would have 100% refilmed that to develop the black and not leave yourself snookered 😂 Great vids though 👍
😂 too busy for that. 1 take only. Good bad or indifferent!
@@SimonTWebbStupid excuse. What if you’d messed your lines up? You would do a retake.
😂😂😂
@SimonTWebb haha fair enough. Keep it up though, really enjoying the tips
Any app on android or only apple ?
It’s only on apple
What if i call a pot on the 8, go cushion first with the cue, and end up missing the pot, hanging the ball over the pocket, and not hitting the cushion
That would be a foul. You have to hit a cushion or pot a ball after contact
I have always felt more comfortable raising my head in a break but keeping it down thinking I was wrong. Good to hear some reason behind changing positions for a break thanks!
Something I have taught for a while is keeping the head still, and raising the head can allow you to do it for the break.
I just started playing pool. Thanks. Went on a date and we drank a few beers and played some pool. It was super fun. But I realized I actually like this a lot. We have a pool table at work and I’ve been playing everyday.
Love to hear that. Glad you are enjoying the game. Hope you check out Ultimate Pool on TNT Sports
The trick is - how do you hit that point with the cue ball? do you just aim through the centre of the cueball at that point?
Yes, its how you visualise it. But yes, aim for the centre of the cue ball to hit that point.
Great tutorial. Look forward to more 🎉
Thank you
Any update on it coming to android? Or is there anything similar to this?
Im sorry. no update. The project has been on hold for a while now.
Could have given an example of a shot that isn’t a complete dolly 😂
Maybe for you. But not for everyone. How do you pick out the potting angle?
The lost brother of Rahul Gandhi🧐
I hear about 3-4 balls drop and yet, "Not my best."
Lost the cue ball a little.
Where do you hit the cue ball on that break?
Half a top low of dead centre.
Can hear you perfectly now, thank you ❤
Thanks for the feedback. Really helped
This isn't talked about enough. It's probably one of the most, if not the most, important aspects of the game.
I agree on both points. no one talks about it and its very important.
It’s all about the power of the stroke
What do you mean by that? Im not sure I fully agree. It is possible to make this shot hitting it a lot harder.
It's not necessary when there's a decent gap between object balls. The first ball picks up forward roll before hitting the second one, at which point it stops but the roll serves as topspin. When the two OBs are too close together, plenty of backspin causes enough spin transfer to help the first ball follow the second in.
Spin will transfer, so agree, when they are closer then adding backspin will help and may be needed.
Pace and distance matter more. The bigger the distance between the balls and the slower you play it the more the back ball of the plant grips the cloth and gains its own topspin. Backspin on the cue ball will maybe give a ball or twos roll maximum but if you hit the object ball too hard it will stun across the table. Hope this helps 👌
The cloth has more bearing But on a shitty table it’s a whole lot easier with backspin On the one you playing on you can play what you like
the cloth can make a difference, but it would have to be very bad and heavy to stop the shots as I played them.
@@SimonTWebb I agree but there’s plenty with next to no chance Quicker cloth means you can play the shots with the balls closer together too
I can do it from a side angle shot.
Balls dont transfer spin. Look on slowmo camera
ua-cam.com/video/4PGXUld5A24/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared This, and several other of Dr Dave's videos prove that spin transfer to the object ball does occur. He has a lot of slomo clips too which show the effect. I think the effect is a bit more subtle with the lighter English pool balls but still present.
They do, but my point is that it isnt everything on this shot as some people will make you believe.
Great video mate, very helpful. Just an idea… could you have a visual cue ball on the top of the screen identifying where you’re striking the cue?
something that I recently learnt myself was that where your front hand is makes a big difference. since I don't break from the rail just moving it back 5 inches roughly allowed me to build up speed on my stroke massively
Thank you. thats really interesting and agree its important to play around to find how you can break with more power.
I am having trouble understanding the rule of getting out of a snooker .does the ball i am trying to hit have to hit a cushion what if some of my other colours hit a cushion instead after the one i was trying to hit collides with others
any ball can hit a cushion or be potted. it does not need to be the ball you are playing.
From this camera angle it has to be reds
Are all fouls/scratches +5sec? Scratch in the kitchen or ball in hand?
yes, +5 secs and ball in hand anyway on the table for a scratch
Being an excellent potter makes most breaks easy enough, position can go awry and the break still continues. Most of us are not excellent potters sadly.
I have a Valley 7' bar box with custom Penguine Rails installed. It plays very similar to your table. I don't have the room for a 9 footer at the house so I tightened the table up to increase my accuracy overall.
In the last few years, It's well known that hitting them hard isn't as important, as hitting them accurately. That allows you to make balls & obtain Cue Ball Position, for the runout... Look at Van Boeing, Fedor Gorst & Josh Filler
I was looking for a breaking tip 😂 I got so many actually. #1 Square leg position for regular shots #2 break from the rail #3 break side stance Next time I'll practice break shots, thank you, much love from Italy ❤
Good video 😊
be nice to do a full rules on it by a referee
Where about on the cue call do you connect with?
