I start to think differently after watching your coaching on these skills. Tried the natural angle drill yesterday - great outcomes that also progresses my understanding about manipulating the cue ball
For me I use the term "Plant" probably cause I've watched snooker all my life. Also probably the reason I prefer to play using a cue ball that's the same size as the rest of the balls. I think the cue ball in pool was only made smaller so the table recognised which single ball had to be sent to the opposite side of the table, but I'll accept being corrected in this. Only in recent years I've watched more pool than snooker, and I've hardly ever played snooker, so your tips and advise has really helped me improve my game so many thanks for that. One day I hope my cue ball control will get better as that's my biggest downfall. Your video on "Natural angles" really opened my eyes as to how bad my knowledge was on where the white was going, in yet using side I was far more confident on where I was putting the white. Totally bizzare thinking about it. Anyway, many thanks for all the tips and tricks, keep the great tutorials coming 👍🏻
Such a beneficial aspect with different levels of grip on the cue. Its expanded my range of positional play so much! Insightful stuff as always, thanks Mick
Mick is there any chance you could do a video on the best drills to improve cueball control please? it'd be greatly appreciated by me and I'm sure many others. 🙏👍
Mick, is it possible to get the intermediate ball to roll forward if you are on a greater angle than your example? e.g. half ball or greater. Is it the same principle? Furthermore, what is happening here? Presumably you're imparting forward spin on the intermediate object ball.
Great video Mick. The set-up with rhe curtains looks like you're in a scene from Dexter though 😅 I've posted a video on my channel about improving your aim. Would love to get your thoughts on it if you have the time?
Thank you Mick, never really thought about how the grip changes the running of the ball on a plant. Great advice. Thank you
Happy to help

Great to hear!

i think it was for the pubs. white ball only comes out. i would love the same size white in pool. i play a lot

Glad it was helpful!
Another great video. Liked the tip about grip, keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Another great video Mick. I particularly liked the tip of picking a spot on the rail, I’ll try that out tonight at practice. 👍🏻
Let me know how you get on.
Great videos mick 🤙🏻 Really insightful. But how do you play the ball when it’s up against the cushion ? I keep on miscuing. Thanks
That’s on our list to cover.
@@mickthemachinehill cheers Mick
Hi mick, could you possibly set up a table camera so we can see things closer and from your perspective?
will try for the next session 👍

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd say plant comes from "you plant one ball onto another" best thing i can come up with

No worries on the audio. Your knowledge and sexual energy more than compensate ;)
😂
Weirdly here in SA a plant is called toe shot. Or now that im actually typing it, maybe its a tow shot😂
Thanks for the great video
Interesting 🤔
