Excellent vid Brian. I consider the "stop"/"stun" shot as " The Number 1 Shot in Pool"...must be able to execute the stun (sliding ball at contact) shot and understand the tangent (90 degree) line reactions to move on and increase position play level. I find this (executing the stop/stun/sliding cue ball shot) to be a big hurdle for some players. Must get it down and understand the results to move on. Thanks again.
good job Brian :-) Sometimes i am still amazed, that even some players who are playing for a long time not really knowing basic stuff like that. Good that ppl still spreading knowledge over and over again 🙂hit em hard mate^^
Thanks. Sometimes it's hard for me to determine whether I'm talking too much, compared to actually showing what to do. Some people like a lot of explanation, others dont. I think my newer videos are little better, meaning I try to not to overtalk.
Brian, Received your latest book and it is fantastic. The dedication is beautiful. This past September I purchased Poolology and loved it. Well we have a new puppy and I left out and she shredded it. I want to order a new one but can’t find the spiral bound version. Can you help me out? Thank you.
Thanks! And I lowered the price of the spiral bound book to $15. But if you send your address to me at bc@pocketingballs.com, I will have the book sent to you at no cost. I really appreciate the feedback and compliments on my newest book. Thanks again!
Awesome video. Really helps me visualize the concept. Thank you. Should tangent line be 90 degrees from the shot line? It doesn't look like the lines are set at 90.
Thanks. And yes, 90°. I think the camera angle makes it look a little off. But I didn't measure a perfect 90°. I estimated it, which is what we have to do on the table while we're playing.
@@Poolology101 Thank you, for sure. I was just trying to make sure so when I apply it during my practice, etc. I love the idea of the tap and I am going to use that as well. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next video
Thank you so much I appreciate it very much I finally understand this I have been playing pool for 19yrs I just now realized how it works an the bad thing is I know all this just didn't fully understand it damn I feel so stupid right now 😔🤡🤦♂️
It just puts the shot outside the parameters of the system. That doesn't mean it's not a perfectly good or easy cut shot. It just means the system doesn't work in those situations.
Nice info to know. But I must have blinked and missed your first obstacle. I didn't see you hit the ball in the side pocket. You talked about having to hit the first corner pocket shot carefully if the cue ball is on the right side of the line, in order to line up the next shot. Where's the example?
If you have an ebook reader or app, you should be able to download it from Amazon or Lulu. I think lulu has it for $9.99 here... www.lulu.com/shop/brian-crist/poolology-mastering-the-art-of-aiming/ebook/product-1mk2d74n.html?q=Poolology+&page=1&pageSize=4
That link is for the Poolology book, which is about aiming. My other book is more about the mental game and strategy. It's called "Playing to Win". Lulu has the best price for that book also. www.lulu.com/shop/brian-crist/playing-to-win/ebook/product-w6qkrz.html?page=1&pageSize=4
I didn't realize I was supposed to explain that, sorry. Easy fix.... The ob looks to be on 30 in this setup. The alignment line (centerline from cb through ob) would need be pointing at 15 (1.5 diamonds from the pocket) and it would be a 1/2 ball shot. If the alignment line points to 7 or 8 (the 1st diamond being 10), then it would be a 3/4 ball shot. If the alignment were around 22 (a little more than 2 diamonds from the pocket) then it would be a 1/4 ball shot.
Thanks for the advice/criticism. Some things require words/explanation, not just showing. I've found that there are too many questions asked when I don't fully explain what I'm trying to show. Sorry if it's too much talk for you. For others it's just the right amount. Can't please everyone.
I finished his book this week. This is so well explained…it’s like a master class.
Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Very much appreciated
Thanks Brian.... that "cross" helps I stopped going to church but you have "saved" me.. Amen 🙏🎱👍🇳🇿

Great lesson for auditory learners. Tough lesson for visual learners.

I'm currently in Vegas and would love to have you sign my books!
Excellent! Email me at bc@pocketingballs.com and I'll send you my number so we can meet up.
BC, Howdy; Long time since the last video. Good stuff as usual.
Thanks...been super busy lately. It would be nice if making pool videos was my job. Lol.

We all feel a little stupid or silly sometimes... so don't be too hard on yourself.
what happens with a side corner shot when the object ball is on 10 and aim point is 15. same question for zone
It just puts the shot outside the parameters of the system. That doesn't mean it's not a perfectly good or easy cut shot. It just means the system doesn't work in those situations.
@@Poolology101 thanks

I slightly overcut the shot, bt accident, which kept the cb from hitting the side pocket.
Fantastic
@@pocketacuity thanks
Played in a pool tournament yesterday an got 7/8 because of just knowing this
I am here in South Africa. Where can I get hold of your book?

The ebooks should be available to most countries. Amazon and Lulu ship worldwide. Not sure about Barnes and Noble.
Brian you never explained the alignment value to make the shot 3/4 1/2 or 1/4. so your video is not help.
I didn't realize I was supposed to explain that, sorry. Easy fix....
The ob looks to be on 30 in this setup. The alignment line (centerline from cb through ob) would need be pointing at 15 (1.5 diamonds from the pocket) and it would be a 1/2 ball shot. If the alignment line points to 7 or 8 (the 1st diamond being 10), then it would be a 3/4 ball shot. If the alignment were around 22 (a little more than 2 diamonds from the pocket) then it would be a 1/4 ball shot.
You need to talk to Stan Shuffett he can show you how to make balls
Sure
What makes you think he can't make balls? Have you not watched this and other videos of his? He makes a LOT of balls.
You talk way to much, to the point of boring. Show us by doing, not just talking!!!
