If you have been playing for a while you will probably know that you don't necessarily have to stand exactly like this. Everyone has a unique style. But this "How To Play Pool" series will cover all the basic concepts for people who are completely new to the game. Let me know if you have any topic suggestions.
i havent looked through all your vids before i give this suggestion. I feel a topic that isnt talked about alot tho is the difference for the tips of cues.
Every video I watch on this topic doesn't solve the major problem I have. How can you stand the way you did, a bit to the side and still keep your eyes on the line? Some people say to stand with your eyes and foot on the line, others with just your foot as you did. With the former, it's impossible for me to stand with my eyes and foot on the line without having to leanil to the right to position my head above the line. This now makes it really difficult to keep my head in this position while going down (cuz I have to move my hips slightly to the left to make room for my swinging arm). My head slightly defaults to its natural position to the left. On the other hand, finding the line and standing with my right foot on it with my head in its natural position means I have to move my eye position above the line while going down. I find this almost impossible to do without stopping a bit too short or long. Hope someone responds
One thing I would mention is that the front foot needs to be pointed towards the shot so that the foot is close to, or parallel to the aiming line. It makes a huge difference in balance and alignment. I encourage people to experiment where thus foot is pointed and you will feel the difference.
I’ve been playing pool every day for a little over a year and I’ve gotten much better thanks to your videos! This is a genius video I never thought about lining up by keeping my cue relaxed and point naturally! Thank you!
Something I’d like to add to this video is make sure you get eye level with the table, seems simple yet rookies shoot standing straight up or doing a half bend of their back. Fully commit to the shot, look over your cue and visualize the shot! Great video, I’d like to see a video on bridges, against rail, for jump/masse, or frozen to balls. Thanks!
Minnesota Fats absolutely killed it with an "upright" posture.... You just have to understand the perspective of what you see from that angle. I can pot many shots without bending way down....
This is a really good idea for the series! I just started to play pool, and the basics is what beginners really need when they just start to play. Looking forward to future videos in the series!
You should give British pool a try. It's a bit harder than American pool due to the pocket design. It's hard to find content on it but it's standard in the UK and British pool tables are what you will find in most pubs/bars. Although American pool is getting a bit more popular here
not much to be said about that, take these technique videos, put them together in practice and use your chin as sort of a guide for the cue to follow under, but find which is your dominant eye and make small head/eye adjustments from there
How do I determine exactly and quickly at what distance to put my right foot from the cue ball? , but that doesn't look good if I'm playing with another. Is there a more sneaky way to calculate this??? Greetings from Chile.

Hi, interesting topic: How much training do you do with the "other" hand i.e. right one in your case? And do you think this has influence on the stroke with your "normal" hand? Greetings from one of those fellow lefties.
I think it's around one hour per week. There was a time when I practiced it more often. But now I am pretty good with my right hand and just want to maintain that level. It has no impact on my normal hand.
I play lefty (normal righty) when playing new lady friends that come over and play pool with me. Its not fun for non players to get totally beaten. Keeps the game closer. I'm actually hitting ok at times that way now
Yes, that makes sense. I'm getting better right-handed (I'm a lefty). It's very interesting to see how different it feels (e.g. bridging on the rail still feels really strange). Gives a really good impression how beginners feel (and how much happens subconsciously when playing left-handed).
Hi! Can i ask something.. How far should be from the stance to the shooting position (the target ball) sometimes I find myself too close to the object balls before shooting
There is no right or wrong. However, a guide is to have a distance so that your arm is almost completely extended. I am talking about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/QiBunV0Ba8w/v-deo.html

I like to bend my legs since am tall and I align on my way down
Thank you for following Qu

@@2869may true my guy but you probably have experience, I’m talking about the novice like my gf 😂
@@STRAIGHTUPSTEAM Right, much easier for the novice to see the lines with a lower point of view... lol
My favourite part is how considerate you are towards righties. You don't see that often, so hats off to you, brother.
Great to see your channel's growing! Your knowledge is very effective. Learned so much by watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
This is a really good idea for the series! I just started to play pool, and the basics is what beginners really need when they just start to play. Looking forward to future videos in the series!
Omg dude,you are the man,now i can show people this i stead of trying to show them
Thanks for this video. I'm a complete video and really appreciate short basic tips and tutorials like this.
These little things make a big difference 👍😎
Thanks for the definition of baseline
Wow, your right-handed form is just as good as your left! ;)
Thanks a lot for your lessons.
Excellent video. nice tips!
Cool pool! 👍🎱
My cue often hits my chest. I see the line well when crowding the cue. Going to give your stance a Try tomorrow. Thanks
Thank you 💯❤️❤️

When I was in London at the Mosconi Cup I got to play it a bit. Was a lot of fun! But you won't find a single table here in Germany.
would love to see you on a snooker table mate, good technique videos

I appreciate you!!
Cool😮
Nice it help a lot
Wow,way to sell out your fellow southpaws.
You sir will bring the donuts to the LEFTY meetings for the next 6 months.
Simple small and brief... but huge 🎱
Nice looking cue...
I enjoy your video sir peace
thanks sr pls upload video abut eye pattern while aiming

Hey great videos. what's the name of the stickers on the rails of your table you use with the guides? trying to find them online for my table

Greetings from one of those fellow lefties.
He uses left hand in this video, just flipped the picture (00:40) because there is a lot more right hand players out there.
@@viktorbravo I am aware of that. My question was inspired by the flipped video.
I think it's around one hour per week. There was a time when I practiced it more often. But now I am pretty good with my right hand and just want to maintain that level. It has no impact on my normal hand.

Next topic: vision center!
Where can I get the rail markers you have on your table?
Hi! Can i ask something..
How far should be from the stance to the shooting position (the target ball) sometimes I find myself too close to the object balls before shooting
Your arm should almost be completely extended. A slight bend is no problem.
@@Sharivari completely extended what does it mean..?
@@rifqifalih1968 In this video I am showing it: ua-cam.com/video/QiBunV0Ba8w/v-deo.html
@Sharivari great! Thx you so much coach!
again, for the pool it needs forearm only right while to pull the cue or release the cue (shoot the cue ball)
@@rifqifalih1968 Correct. You're welcome :)
Your cue is on the line, but your head and eyes are way off line. How you can you line a shot up correct when your eyes are not on the line if aim?
Watch this for the answer: ua-cam.com/video/aXRqXeMkqTY/v-deo.html
👍
what is your pool table’s name ,balls and cues?
How far do we need to stand from stance to table coach
There is no right or wrong. However, a guide is to have a distance so that your arm is almost completely extended. I am talking about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/QiBunV0Ba8w/v-deo.html
You moved your gripping hand to a new location. Where?
What cue is that?
wtf, klick ich bissl auf yt rum, sehe ich den andre? lg uwe (bist du der der andre mit dem ich auf der berufsschule war? lg uwe)
Haha, ja Uwe der bin ich :D
@@Sharivari sau geiler kanal, super typ am stock, krasse pool skills, lg uwe :)
First
For me I put the stick right under my chin.
same, all in line down the center of your vision
Terrible Bridge!
