Would like to see a video showing aiming with side spin, or screw back ?
I love this parallel shift technique, it works like a charm!
Wish someone explained american 8 ball with the depth of information you give
Well mick, any advice on buying a cue ? My cue action isn’t the best these days so not sure what tip size to go with, any advice? Looking for a decent 1 too,
Great channel Mick, picked up lots of pointers. Do you think a break off cue makes a difference? Why? Would it be for players with a small tip on their usual cue?
Great tips,I struggle with object ball on the cushion to pot down the rail,I see object balls glued to the rails as they're potted by quality players,how do they do that?
As a very average player who’s always asked for better players for. Tips and help even willing to pay for coaching but got laughed at by my peers for asking these videos are like gold mot me to get to understand the physics of it all thankyou so much for taking the time to show this, great videos too thankyou
Cue sports for the Olympics?!
Great interview mick, good work ignore of the keyboard warrior's! Jimbob of Morley
Thank you kindly
Glad we have these bits of cloth to protect the match cloth. Must be harder to move out the way every time he racks then to use it.
Amazing to watch so simple but so effective 👍🏻
Glad you liked it
Please forgive what might be a dumb question. You the same Mick Hill who started with the West Mids county youth in the 90s when my old best mate Dave Eggleton was running it?
I don't really understand the loose grip at the back part. I've always heard it's a good way to play, But loosening your grip literally allows the cue to move around in your hand, If your cue is moving around, It's going off line and likely not hitting where you're aiming
Amazing seeing you play , it's beautiful how easy you make the game seem !
Thank you very much!
Loved this!!!! Brilliant interview Mick
You are playing pool the way it should be played
Great to see you in full flow Mick, your an inspiration for many. Jaden's been a top talent for a while as I've come up against him a few times over the years in the local pool league I play in. He has the potential to be a future world champion if he keeps developing the way he is for sure.
Coaching i.q is underrated
Imo the best thats ever played the game. So much work has gone into what we see now. Obviously a true gentleman and very humble. A brilliant ambassador for the game. A great example for us all to follow.
thank you
Levels. GOAT.
thank you
Brilliant video Mick 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Some cracking shots from the young fella
He has a big future
Sorry but…through the eight ball to what exactly?
When are you going back to playing on the ultimate tour mick?
not in the near future
Michael thanks again for helping keep my game and passion alive.
My pleasure!
Good to see you back Mick, No doubt you gave the young lad some tips. Regarding his play he was ok as you know , we see many youngsters with potential but very few actually make the grade.
He went easy on me.
You are such an inspiration Mick, Wish to have a Mentor like you. Keep Inspiring.
Wow, thanks
@@mickthemachinehill I thank you Mick for pursuing your gift and being such a very humbled and amazing soul. I will always root for you brother. I wish to see you going far than you can imagine with the gift of Pool. And I strongly believe that anything is possible for you. Because You are touching so many lives, playing Pool, and loving the sport because of you.
🐐. Good to see you back. Will you be getting involved with Ultimate again anytime soon?
not in the near future
For me you still the greatest in British pool format of this game. I remember many years ago you beat Darren Appleton. I hope you soon Challenge Tom Cousins for titles.
Dodgy microphone kept dropping out for some reason 😉 😂 Well played both of you, the young lad has a lot of potential.
My potty mouth 👀
@mickthemachinehill the words came through loud and clear in my head 🙂
Great playing 👏🏻
you're very kind
You make the game look so easy, was fortunate to meet you in Boscombe (Bournemouth) a few years ago, still have your signature on my cue case 🙌💕
Absolute class act 👌 gutted he's not playing ultimate pool anymore
Just amazing as always . Thanks for sharing guys .
Our pleasure!
Great to see you back Mick. 🎱
Thanks 👍
Great advice thank you 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Natural angles change with how hard you’re hitting the cue ball This is why uk 8 ball is harder to control the cue ball than snooker
Does it help to have a smaller or a rounded tip when playing back spin?
Hi Mick, great stuff as usual. Have you got a video when to use traditional stun shots, as sometimes we need to stun the ball dead like a straight shot to hold position. Is there ever a case when a harder grip is useful to get that kind of stun, or do you prefer to go the light grip delicate feel shot way always.
Hi Mick, great videos. Been a while since you posted one. Do you plan on posting any new ones soon? Question for you, which cloth do you use on your table and why? Many thanks in advance
??? It was the FIRST thing I spotted.
I like how you teach the way forward for beginners and amateurs, and your detailed explanations are really easy to understand. I am pleased I used to play the right way, finding the line to keep the natural angle, flow with ease on to the next ball, and if you come up short you are still on the right line.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tips, would love more of these types of commentary with pattern play.
More to come!
This is GOLD. Thanks Mick.
You're welcome
Superb advice 🐐. Hope to see more of this again soon 🙏🏻
I can always figure it out in my head... It's the execution to keep position I struggle with!!
Been a while since you made a video Mick, hope all is well? If you was struggling for ideas, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see a video of you doing a few racks but a picture on the screen of the cue ball and where your hitting each shot. We can see how hard / soft players hit the ball so have an idea for that side of the game, but not always possible to see where players are hitting the cue ball and as we all know, cue ball control is everything in this game. All the best and hope to see more of your videos even if you don't do one on my suggestion 👍
Excellent video. Last point was the best . Always watch . I learnt 40 odd years ago and watch what players and opponent's do correct but also wrong . When you dont learn anything your almost there. It would only take watching a couple of shots then to gauge just how good someone was .
The trace of running spin is the trick
Good video . To me timing is an extension of technique. Timing is the connection between the brain and your hands . That flo state where you just do it without thinking.
Hi mick I reposted a video of yours and you did retweet it about a year ago I ve spent years and years watching you play and still am Your knowledge is second to none Wish you could give me your email address
