Have you played this game often since learning or tried to get friend to play?

Thanks for the comment! Glad it is useful. 👍

I appreciate that! Mixing it up a little with games and skills, but I hope everyone that looks here can find something that resonates with them on the pool table. Cheers!

Thanks for the input. I am trying to create a balance for all aspects of the game, which can be a challenge at times because I want to show it all! :)

My pleasure! Some upcoming drills will be more intense with left and right English. I hope they will come in handy too! Thanks for the support and comments!

It's just the slow motions causing the blur to look like it jumped. Never noticed that but not sure if I can get that much action off a jump. Now you have my attention for a new shot. Thanks!

I tend to use an open bridge on all my shots unless it is with a lot of top or bottom English. I've noticed that my stroke goes off a few millimeters when I use an open bridge and shoot a little harder. The closed bridge definitely tightens up my line on all my shots and is something I will be using more reliably. Thanks for the question. It is good for me to reflect as well.

I am glad it is useful. I have a similar one for follow coming out soon. :)

Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

With a name like CollegeHustler I am sure you are sharking right now! Haha. Don't worry, I think one of the actors in the video missed at least once. :)

Nice! Not sure anyone has brought up banking for the whole ring game. I like the idea of a 4 to 5 rail shot to make me $1 to $1.25 a turn at the money ball. lol I'm coming over next week!

New video coming out this weekend to mention more about spherical contact points on target balls for long cuts.

I agree that the center cue ball is half out from the contact point. Thanks for mentioning that as someone else may like that insight as well. One of the last examples has the red dot marked as you are referring to, but I didn't mention. Thanks for keeping on me!

Excellent content, thank you

Thank you very much! I am glad I can help. If you have any questions just ask!

Thanks, Mark!

Thank you, Tomas! I appreciate it!

Thank you!

The rails are snookered and it is more misleading than you would think. The side pockets are a little on the big side but you can't roll off them to fall in the side pocket like cut corners, mine tend to bounce out from any cushion interference. Also, you can see how small the corner pockets are to the balls I use. The pockets measure at 3 inches in the throat of the pocket. Not one pro event in America or the world plays on a table like this. The Chinese Invitational is the only event that you will see a 9 foot table played with similar pockets. SVB struggles in that event as he would on this table too. So, please re-evaluate the table and go hit some balls on a snooker table with 2 1/4 in. balls and let me know how you do. It may be a humbling experience! Thanks for the comment as I look forward to many more. Here is a quick close up for you, mate! ua-cam.com/users/shortsez83GL7K34o?si=3NzoV8DpWtuKF7o7

WOW 3 inch pockets! Matchroom uses small pockets at 4 inches. At 3 inches those are incredibly small. Aside from the table you did do a good job of explaining banks using english. Good Job!! @@JRODS_PSTKICKS

Seems the link isn't directing me to it so you may not see it. It is a quick short I just made for you called, "My Pockets Have Been Challenged. Check it out if you like and there is a video linked to it to show a few long rail shots with speed and inside spin to take the ball in or reject which some should have gone in . :) Cheers!

@@JRODS_PSTKICKS Link is working fine thanks. I never realised snooker table pockets had those rounded corners

@@Flackbox Maybe the link updated. Thanks for letting me know. If you have a senior center in your area they might have a snooker table if you don't have access otherwise. Those gentlemen are typically willing to sign you in for a challenge on their tables. Show the "kids" how to play, is what I've gathered. :)

Thank you, Mate! This week will be a few helpful Carom shots released Friday or early Saturday! I hope it is useful. Cheers!

Awesome thank you!

Sometimes the cueball will roll back into line after it has been shot and then deflects. It takes a little practice to get a feel when using extreme English and cutting the ball. I would begin with close cut shots (2-3 feet/1meter) and making 5-10 in a row. Move the cueball back 6 inches but keep the same "cut angle." You will start to see the cueball make its line adjustment from the deflection the further away you get from the target ball. Please let me know if this makes sense. I can make a quick short to show if any other questions.

I appreciate that! Thank you!

Thank you for asking. I will make a video to help find the sweet spot on the target ball when using English. I do understand it can be tricky, but I will try to simplify and get some good video for you to see up-close. Stay tuned! I do have this video if you have not seen it yet. ua-cam.com/video/cHmE5dL1SXo/v-deo.htmlsi=QyA2okjWbSIc2CuZ

Thank you, GE!

Hey, Shane! Long time no see. Thanks for subscribing. I bought this table in 2006 and wanted a good practice table with the tightest pockets without shimming them. So, I purchased snookered rails to make the aiming more precise. Can be very challenging and most rail shots are rattles, but I know they go in the pocket out in the real-world during competition :)

Get with the program dad

That is a different type of game, for sure. One month away, April 4-7 2024, and WY will be calling a few of the big boys out. Can you believe it has been 15 years since I played in Saratoga?

I love snooker but I have come to learn that my eye-sight is also needed for the length of the table these days. My pockets are snookered but the size is regulation 9x4 1/4. I thought it would be great to have tight pockets to practice on. :)

One pocket is pretty cool. Have to control that cueball very well. Good luck on your new game. I am sure you will do great!

Thank you! I agree and it would be a better game if we were only allowed to kick at our hooked shots, because it would show who is at the top of their game at that time. When I was five or six, I grew up using rails and the rubber knobs on the bumper pool table and never thought of jumping the cueball or scooping until I saw someone do it, which is what I began to do for a few years until I was corrected. As for now, I will use anything legal and allowed because I am getting old and need a few crutches in the game sometimes when I get out of line. :)

@@LIGHT-ENDE-SIGN-mq1vi Well, unfortunately jumping is part of the game now so I get that if you play out you need to do it sometimes as your opponent sure will. I love seeing a rare occasional tournament where no jumping is allowed or at least no jump cues allowed but they are rare these days.

Sorry I responded from my other channel. Much different than pool over there :) I would definitely love to see a few pro events without jump cues. I think Efren R. would agree too. We never know what the future holds in the game of billiards around the world! Good luck on your game and if you have any questions on the table, I am glad to help. Cheers!

Glad it was helpful!

😂 But...

It always depends on the tournament or league format so I guess with me forgetting often I would have just lost had it been call pocket!

I'm glad to hear it was useful.

You do have a pretty smooth stroke and using low always looked very natural for you. Hoping to get to some things that will help you out but you are not a beginner. :) Thanks for responding and if you can think of anything you would like to focus on or have me make, let me know!

Yes, the tip affects the backspin. I tend to use a hard tip for my tournament cue. The stick I use for any masse or extreme English I like to use a Super Soft tip which seems to grab better and give more spin to the cueball.

Thank you. Very subtle approaches can help in the game. Hope I can help with some more shots in the future.
