After playing competitive pool for about 15 years and finally won a state title, I decided to focus on other parts of my personal life, but found it hard to stay away for too long. I used to watch a lot of videos to help me with my game and found your videos to be the best ones of all that I’ve seen before. These videos brings back the fire of me to be more competitive again. Thank you and keep making the videos as I will be looking forward to watching the others to help improve my game even more .
I went from a level 2 APA to level 4 and won 1st place in a 9 ball tournament....your videos helped me a little bit...it's all about strategy, position play and ball pocketing
How did you like this new type of video, where I am not only showing one particular shot, but a lot of other possibilities? I got this idea from one of you in the comments. Thank you!
I've already been saying this for quite some time. I admire you for your video making idea and also for evaluating the other possible options. Keep em coming broooo
Your videos cover a wide range of the clear explanation of the percentages of probability and outcome and decision making required that will alter the course of success or failure or in the least difficulty. We all have a tendency to remain in our comfort zone which has been proven successful in the past but in reality, prevents the breakthrough of a stagnant plateau. Your teaching style and demeanor on the table lends itself to have one "try" the alternate route without reservation or fear which can instill a new found confidence that has eluded them. The sky is then the limit within their experience and ability. A teacher's ultimate selfless reward is to witness the success of their students with their input in hand. You ARE a teacher.
I've always wondered in your videos about what would have happened if you've shot differently. This is my favorite video of yours by far. Please, make more.
I ve been a pool player for 9 years straight and i would say that your tips and strategies are the best to make people understand the game. Keep up the work mate and i can't wait to match against you or just maybe watch you play in some official tournaments.
I used to be a player on a traveling bar league many years ago. Like most I was able to be competitive but definitely not a pro. I've recently have started playing pool again and been practicing and following alot of your videos. Your instruction is spot on and extremely well put together. The best pool instruction on UA-cam.
my first comment and i must say you have clarified a lot to me, as a experience pool player i can now explain most of my shots and game play to my team on a professional level in 9 ball,8 ball and have suggested to my team mates and opponents to subscribed to your channel. Thank you Mr.Sharivari
Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into these videos!! They are absolutely fantastic and I have learned alot of info from you I never even thought of, and I'm a good player!!
I have been on youtube looking for ways to improve my game and finally found someone who take time to show you from his view where to hit the cue ball and where it's going to roll.
Great idea for a video. Thanks for taking the time to mark the ball locations and show the different options. The cue ball graphic showing the contact point and the reasoning behind the spin was great. Point of view camera also very helpful. Now I just have to learn how to make the shot so my positioning actually matters!
I’ve just joined my wife’s team in APA. I’ve shot pool before but never in competition or whatever and I don’t use English but I can’t wait to get back home and go play and try some of these techniques. Thanks for your time in making these videos.
Thank you so much for these informative videos. They are the best I’ve seen. Always learn something to keep in mind. I still have a lot to learn to really understand the game. I also love to watch Efren a lot. Only thing it’s to hard to copy what he does. I love how you explain so clearly . You make ii easier to understand
This type of video is fantastic. Showcasing the different ways to play the shots is HIGHLY valuable. Thank you for your hard work. Please make more videos like this.
This is an incredible video. Thank you so much for making this. I hope you would make more videos like this. It is particularly useful for intermediate players when you show different options and cue tips that you used for every single shot. One thing I would like you to add is that the aiming line on the rail or in the pocket where you actually aim to when you use spin and I think that would make this video perfect to me. Once again, thanks 1 million, wish you all the best to keep producing these videos.
Man that second shot on the three with the inside was really helpful for me. I always shoot that shot in that position and thinking back it never works out the way I think it will. From now on I will be using the two rail shot. Thanks sharivari!
There’s always a shot, sometimes you just have to find it. Efren Reyes does shots people think are impossible, first thing to making it is to know that nothing is impossible. There’s tons of ways to make a shot, going off rails, going off cue after rail, spin shots, etc. sometimes you just have to think out side of the box. Happy playing. Good video👍🏽
mad respect for this style of video. its perfect, keep up this work !. Imagine efren doing a video like this, i would pay real money to see his ideas on angles and spins.
this was great. when practicing its a good idea to drill various possibilities to be comfortable with them so that when a situation arises where there is one option you feel confident to make it happen.
I love Draw shots. But the different outcomes in this video proved that the draw shot is not always the best option. Just a little bit of draw angle can make life easier. Looking forward is to apply this lesson on my game. Thanks a lot and as always excellent effort for making these videos.
Very nice preparation. Nice shooting. Well thought out. I like your idea about shooting the best shot available but still looking at another shot, and showing your shots with different English applied. You show the different effects of using different English and power, Keep up the good work, I'll be looking for more videos.
I can't tell you how much you've helped my game! I'm much more confident in getting position now even within a few inches of a side pocket without being afraid of scratching. I will becoming a patreon soon.
Thank you Sharivari for telling us some tips and skills to make us good in billiards, I'm a 13 year old teen and struggling to shoot balls 😢, but when i saw your videos, i did them, and i got better potting some balls and eventually i end up clearing the table. Thank you for showing us some tips on billiards ❤
Good video. My first thought on the 4 ball was you didn’t have enough angle in it to stun out unless you hit it hard which brings up other issues. The next thought was top inside left as you did but the tricky part was you had to move the cue a lot more but was the better choice. Of course the conditions and equipment and how you feel can make a difference too. Cheers
Hi Sharivari, great content as usual. One small suggestion is too add the colour order of the balls somewhere on the video frame, for people who normally play different pool formats.
this video help me alot and for those beginner to play pool remeber if you know on how the cue ball follows you.. better to know it first on what is the proper way to spot the ball all the way to the hole.
Thanks for all the great videos especially using the GoPro. I'm fairly new to Billiards and really enjoy your explanations and physics. Have you ever considered making a video with an average player? That way you could explain things to an average player with the average player making average player shots. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to shoot like you in this lifetime!
What I realized when redoing this exact setup at home. If your cue ball is slightly ending up at a different position - I am talking here about an inch or so - you need to apply a different strategy and English to get to the position of the next ball. I wish there would be a magic recipe that would teach you to see how the cue ball will run at different angles to the object ball and how to judge the trajectory depending on your angle to the cue ball. For example, after the first shot I came up too close to the rail, making the angle to the 3 ball substantially thinner. I then have difficulties not to run into the 5 ball or controlling the speed to get to the 4 ball due to the thin cut. Perhaps it's down to practice and feel at the end. There are so many variables in the game, but this video is the best to start thinking at an more advanced level.
Thank you for all your videos. Has no during covid-19 where I have had limit pool time. I just started resuming though I wish I had space and my own table for playing and practicing
The nice thing about the hit on the eight is even if you over hit it as long as it comes off the rail you have 1/2 the table again for a safety zone for the 9 shot.
Your videos are the best because you let us know what you're doing, why you're doing it, how you're doing it, and then usually giving options to do it another way. Thank you. When will you record a segment on wiggling the little finger on your bridge hand? I notice when you wiggle that finger, your shots nearly always go in. It doesn't work for me. I need more bridge hand finger training. ;)
When planning your shots ahead, keep in mind what strokes you feel most comfortable with. When you have to do a shot using a not comfortable stroke, you might mess up and then the rest of the plan is all messed up.
I just started playing. Bought my own table for home, not full size but decent quality except the que that followed is some cheap shit. I'm starting to learn the shots but I struggle when I'm trying some spin on it, I can't get the shot straight on to the ball the que ball will just immediately go a bit left or right where ever I try to spin it to after wards. Thanks for all the helpful videos !
Very nice video and informative tips and tricks. I have lot learn from your videos after watching last night some of your videos. Maybe after ten years from now im gonna be a pool master like you LODI (Idol).lol
The video and the concept is amazing I would like to suggest add some footage showing in close and slow motion the cue ball hiting the other ball and the different paths cheers

Me personally I like a lot more because you show what type of options you have on each shots
Loving this format
very accurate and knowledgeable lesson, thanks a lot sir
Thanks for cutting out the shots that weren't made. Saves a lot of time.
For me, not really because I want to see the shot realised.
Thanks for the theories. Enhanced my knowledge a lot.
I've already been saying this for quite some time. I admire you for your video making idea and also for evaluating the other possible options. Keep em coming broooo
Thank you a lot. Can't hear it often enough haha.

have you ever tried the chinese 8 balls before? Simiar rules as the black eight but different pocket and cloth
These are exactly the kinds of videos we need (at least I do anyway)! I love how precise and detailed your explanations are! Keep up the awesome work!

Great video. It is so much easier to learn to run a rack when you explain which english you use to get into position. Thanks for making these videos.
Please make more videos like this one, it helps a lot!!!!
Yes... I Need too.
Yes, I will once my table is here. I also enjoyed this video a lot. Maybe a future series for the channel :)
It's good practice to shoot all options. You never know, it might be your only option at times. Great video. Please keep them coming!!!!!!

Imho, that last you did on the 8 would have been my first option. It landed on a perfect line for the 9. Great content as always though!!!
No need to complicate things. 9 is easy from anywhere on the bottom half of the table. You have enough angle to roll the 8 in and get position
i’m a professional player, you’re teaching nice and showing the basics simply.., good luck
Won my first local tournament today; warmed up by watching this video. Thank you for a very informational 15 minutes!
Always a pleasure watching your high quality videos. I always learn a lot - thank you!
this video help me alot and for those beginner to play pool remeber if you know on how the cue ball follows you.. better to know it first on what is the proper way to spot the ball all the way to the hole.
Your sharing of the pool knowledge is much appreciated, Shari. Great work!
As a better than average player, this is an excellent instruction video on simplicity, and options.
2nd option is always appreciated i think of it when i'm approached by my partner(mentor ,Ron )thanks sharivari. ,LUKE
i realy learned a lot Sir Sharivari! Great effort there Sir! GOD Bless you alws...
we are very proud here in the Philippines! ;)
learning your way of teaching the game makes is much easier. yes I'm a sub.Thanks
Thisis very useful especially with the goPro angle which i haven’t seen much of thank you for uploading can't wait to put the tips in to action!
Thank you for putting so much effort into this incredible video.
I just love this humble amazing person ♥️ so much love from Bangladesh. ♥️
This is great, taking my phone down to the table to replicate. Really like the discussion of options. More, please!
Thank u for the tutorial. There were several different ways of run the rack. Appreciate u sharing ur knowledge......

Another great video with the really precise information.
Love this guy have learned a lot from him and it has stepped up my game a whole lot
You are really good and you make good videos. Thank you for do this for so many people try to learn play pool.
1:51 i couldn't resist doing a bank/combo on that three into the nine side pocket, or worse case corner pocket.
Bro this video is absolutely amazing. I just started on an APA team and have trouble deciding what type of english I should use. It’s usually a guess.
Another well thought out lesson Shar. Thank you.😊
Great instructions 👍👍
Very good 👍 hi from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Proper coach by far the the best 😂 I have seen

This is a great video. I am hoping to make a request for a rail 1st shot technique that I don’t see much in any youtube tutorials.
When planning your shots ahead, keep in mind what strokes you feel most comfortable with. When you have to do a shot using a not comfortable stroke, you might mess up and then the rest of the plan is all messed up.
I love your videos. The visuals are great for me.
Great Video! Most important part of that lesson is He does not move until the ball drops or stops!!
I like it, it's gives me more knowledge how to pocket the ball and using correct english and spin..
Very comprehensive video. Thanks
Good simple. Perfect teacher

Very Good Videos. You have helped me greatly improve my very poor pool playing. I might win once in awhile soon, Thanks. Full support
Your videos are amazing. Thanks!
Good classes am already becoming star
Just so helpful - thank you!
To be honest I was thinking of hitting the 2 ball on the first reck with draw shot and a touch of left spin as you say it 😁 and go for the 9 ball
Very good video, very good explanation 👍🏻
that's what i like, ball control is the key to win.
Very helpful brotha, thank you!
Every try challenging yourself to run a 9 ball spread in one corner pocket? It's pretty fun. 😄
Awesome Content, a the way from south africa
Wow bro thank you! i learned a lot, and i am a beginner, so this was very helpfull
Awesome.. different combinations 👍🇳🇿
