    This shot definetly requires a good feeling for speed control. You also don't need to get it as deep into the pocket as I did. A tiny bit will have the same effect. Just have a look here:

    Thanks for the video. I don't think I wouldn't have thought of creating a safety that way. Nicely done.

    Awesome video, I would never have thought to corner hook my opponent there, but I am definitely going to try it next time I am in this situation!🔥

    What a coincidence! I saw the preview set up for this shot in yesterday's video and I went to my table to try to see what I could come up with, and I came up with the EXACT same safety play! Great minds think alike! I recommend using a very short bridge so you won't accidentally hit too hard and rebound off the point and give your opponent the free win.

  • @michaelkozlowski857
    @michaelkozlowski857 3 роки тому +1

    Some thoughts: Good shot to practice a bit, just to work on the soft ‘touch’ stroke needed to execute it - if we try this shot and can’t come close to making it work, our Godzilla stroke probably the cause. Sharivari parked the cue ball with a very deep hook behind the corner but can also corner hook without going so deep toward the pocket drop. This shot requires controlling 10 inch cue ball travel, and about 1” movement after contact, with a very easy line on the target - pretty small numbers but need touch. Also this is an Offense vs. Defense choice - if you can park the cue ball for this lock down safe, when your villain thinks he’s got the game locked up -> will you put him on tilt? That may be worth the risk!🤪

    The pocket hook would definitely require bravery ... and a little insanity! I like the VB score flipper, noticed that around shot 9 but didn't realize you were tracking the shot #. Nice André. Since my table is about 1 year old and I'm not even at the amateur stage ... no jump shots for me!!

    As the person hooked I would bank into the top rail and try to make the 9/10 combo, the hook to going into the top rail back down at the 9 sould be able to be compensated for with 1 tip of inside english for each diamond I am forced to aim outside,. I believe I could at least consistently hit the 9 that way and not give up ball in hand.

    • @professor19billiards25
      @professor19billiards25 3 роки тому +1

      You have more control with the safety shot. That's why he said it's less risky than the kick. It's nothing but a very simple touch shot. Ignore the pocket and play the position. With the kick if you don't cheat far enough you'll scratch right behind it.

    However, I prefer traditional striped balls with white instead of black.
    In this video at first I was confused why you want to hit the 2-ball after 9-ball lol

  • @terencelavigne9626

    Could you also kick off the near rail just in front of the side pocket to make the combination?

    @professor19billiards25 3 роки тому

    Wouldn't an option to get out of that safety be to play the combo with a 2-rail kick? After seeing some of your bonus shots that seems like a shot you're capable of.

    • @Sharivari
      @Sharivari  3 роки тому

      Yes, but I would go for a soft one rail kick in a match. Higher percentages to hit it and to leave it safe.

  • @instructorblacksheep1656

    Hi. I watch your videos and its awesome what i learn actually from your videos. But i must ask you something. Where can I get this markers on the rail? It goes around your complete table... its so cool and i think it would halp me a lot.

  • @AdamGuitar87
    @AdamGuitar87 3 роки тому +2

    I don't like this shot. The main goal in every shot should be to avoid scratching. If you give opponent ball in hand he will end this rack. And even if you have the best touch eventually you will scratch. Kick shot is much better option here.

    • @Gotwired
      @Gotwired 3 роки тому +1

      It comes up, but it's rare because there are usually better options. Only once in a blue moon will it be THE shot, but it's good to know for when it does come up.

  • @Dornul
    @Dornul 3 роки тому +2

    Isn't this safety more risky than the kickshot?

    • @elmoooo
      @elmoooo 3 роки тому +1

      In this scenario - I think it is too, even if you've practiced "pocket hook" before. Not that hard two rail escape with possibility to pocket 9-10 combo.

    • @Gotwired
      @Gotwired 3 роки тому +1

      You usually only play it when the kick isn't available. If the kick (to pocket) is available within reason, you should 100% kick.

  • @paulcass3180

    Why do most American pool players use a glove? I cant understand this at all. I play snooker and the odd game of UK pool. But not 1ns has anyone ever had a glove. I think ppl would laugh at them if they did here.

    • @trailerwookie
      @trailerwookie 3 роки тому +1

      For me, I really like the increased slickness of the stroke. I can play either way, but I also like that the glove keeps my hand cleaner.

    • @trailerwookie
      @trailerwookie 3 роки тому +1

      @@ScottishThings I would prefer to play snooker but there are no snooker tables anywhere near me. I agree that snooker tables are more difficult. Another reason I wear a glove at times is because during an intense match, my hands might get a little clammy/sweaty, and the glove helps.
      Since snooker cues are made from ash wood, and pool cues typically from maple wood, I wonder if that is a factor in the way they feel.
