Dr. Dave That was excellent content!....also the time stamps allowed me to view over and over. Some great ideas for some precarious positions.... LOL Thanks again.... Vince
The best part about this is we’ve all seen some variation of all 100 of these positions, at one time or another. These are great ways to open our minds for creative shots.
Dr.Dave you're a true professional and savant in this game. Thank you, for giving us novice players so much insight in this wonderful game of pocket billiards.
The entire point of this video is to highlight just how much I suck at this sport and cause me despair! :) Seriously, though, this video highlights the depth of artistry, creativity, science behind the shots, and imagination needed to truly play a game of finesse. Thanks for the video!
Me the day before this video dropped: man im starting to play better the more shots I memorize. Maybe I should spend some time and find all possible shots Dr.Dave: Way ahead of you 😤🤘
I am a decent player, but my focus is on instruction. But if you want to see examples of me playing, see the videos and links at the bottom of the page here: billiards.colostate.edu/dr-dave/
@@DrDaveBilliards you would definitely be that high. What’s your runout frequency I’m curious? Like if you played 5 racks of any given game what’s your probability? Would you say?
@@joebermuda6452 The only data I have is from a VNEA league. I break & run about 1 in 4-5 breaks; although, some of those are dry breaks. Those bar boxes don't rack very tightly at times.
… without all the straight pool stuff. FYI, here’s a video I did featuring Ray’s book: Top 10 Most Useful CRITICAL SHOTS in Pool ua-cam.com/video/7oS4snKx-9A/v-deo.html
Awesome as always. Many thanks! If I may give my 2 pennies, there's also the 14.1 "safety break" and the one pocket break that can go in that respective category. Also perhaps the break shot in straight pool or games in order to deal with clusters.
Hi Dr Dave! Would love to see a video on basic/intermediate positional plays and position windows. Like common position opportunities that come up often in games that one must know or be able to recognize. Might be a good video idea. Thanks!!
Few things you could argue to include (or could be argued were included under a broader definition) 1. The counter-safety kick and stick (freq. used right after you've been safed, and cannot see the object ball) 2. The half or quarter ball jump. 3. The jump to change cue ball effective tangent line (for shape) after pocketing a ball that you didn't need to jump to see the potting angle. (e.g. the famous efren reyes shot) 4. Half-table and full-table equal distance separation safety. 5. Full table spin-modulated distance safety using running and attenuating spin (e.g. cue ball has to travel more or object ball has to travel more) 6. Force-stun. (I know stun was covered, but I tend to think of this as a different shot, e.g. very small angle, huge power stun shot to move long distance along tangent line)
As someone who also shoots and watches allot of trickshots, I thought I was going to come here with a list of shots that you left out. I was wrong. You covered the hop off the rail. Then I said, but I bet he won’t hop an object ball off the rail. You covered that too! Even had doubts you were going to put the regular object ball jump in the video. That made me try hard to actually come up with a category you left out but I think I may have a few. The shots off the point of the side pocket, although you did do the shots of the corner pocket points. Timing shots where you are making contact with the object ball twice, and those shots where you are straight on and have to hop the cueball up onto the rail and have it fall back down to get all the way up table for position.
As an older novice. I put the shots in 3 categories ..shots I can execute, but need to improve on, difficult shots that I would like to have in my arsenal, and shots I doubt if I will attempt. When I rewatch this video. I will stop it before the end...but repeat watch the shots I need to execute regularly.
I executed that shot totally by accident for the first time about two months ago. Impressed the hell out of my friend because we had seen it done by Alex Pagalayun. I was so happy to have played a shot that wowed me the first time I saw it I have yet to tell y friend it was an accident.@@DrDaveBilliards
Some universities do have billiards courses. And for those who want billiards diplomas, they are offered by the Billiard University: billiarduniversity.org/
Behind the back shot One handed jump shot Bridge or double bridge dart stroke jump shot Off the side pocket point rail shot (efren) Tweener shot, cueball travels between stun and natural path
Hey Dr. Dave, hope you're well. All these videos throughout the years, you give us a diagram of approximately where you are hitting the cue ball. Have you considered adding a diagram of the speed you are hitting the CB? Maybe even just saying slow/medium/fast speed beside the diagram?
Good suggestion, but ain't nobody got time for that. :) Also, seeing how the balls move gives a much clearer indication of shot speed than some diagram could, IMO.
Agreed. It helps them see what is possible and inspires them. And it gives them a bunch of shots to practice. Although, "beginners" should probably work more on fundamentals: billiards.colostate.edu/tutorial/fundamentals/
Great video, Dr. Dave, but in your follow up video you should add the jump the object ball onto the rail so it goes into the pocket from the rail shot that i saw in one of your prior videos
@1:46, why does the cue need to be elevated? You could do this with just a regular draw and move your cue out of the way. Or am I'm not seeing this correctly?
One I like the wasn’t mentioned. I guess it might be a jump, but when you say your on the short rail straight in elevate the back end of the cue cheat the pocket with spin and the cue ball will jump slightly hit the top side of the rail and travel down to the other end of the table.
I retired from CSU about 5 years ago, but I still teach private lessons and BU Boot Camps: drdavebilliards.com/instruction/pool-school/ billiarduniversity.org/instruction/school/
@@DrDaveBilliards Good for you, I hope retirement is treating you well! I have a lot of admiration for all the work and analysis you have put in on the table. Currently an intermediate player but I am practicing daily and hope to give the pros a run for their money one day!!
@@brjones27 Understood. Although, pretty much all of my students fly in for lessons. I went to grad school at UT in Austin many years ago. I loved Austin.
I had a couple shots in mind but you covered those 😊 the 2 I think are worth mentioning is a jump draw with inside spin to hold position instead of going around the table if you have the wrong angle and also if CB and OB are frozen on short rail and 8 ball on the other short rail, especially if the 2 balls are 1 ball apart, there are some special shots there 😉 I won't get into trick shots though lol
This more of a question, if an object ball of your opponent is blocking you from putting the eight in can you drive the eight in behind his ball,and is it legal,and I love your vids
Under the official rules of pool, as long as you hit the 8 first and it goes in the called pocket, nothing else matters. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/resources/rules/
Great video as always 👏 Could you kindly make an analytical video about how humidity and environment affects the table and play? ( In case you already haven't) Keep wondering why Earl keeps talking about a table playing "slick" or slow... ( It does sound like he's just complaining for the heck of it but what do i know ! I am not a world champion 😂)
FYI, I cover these topics in detail here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/table/humidity-effects/ billiards.colostate.edu/faq/table/cloth-effects/ Check it out.
My cue ball AWAYS missing to the right of the object ball. My cue is ALWAYS pointing to the left after follow through. Is it vision center? Not stroking straight? Not on correct line? How do I begin to fix it?
It sounds like a stroke problem. The resources here might be helpful: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/stroke/technique/ You should also verify your vision center alignment using the simple procedure in the first video here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/eyes/vision-center/
My original list (before I trimmed it down to 100) had 2-rail, 3-rail, 4-rail, and 5-rail kicks and banks, but I trimmed it down to 1-rail and multi-rail (with only one example of each for both kicks and banks). Maybe I'll include others in my follow-up video.
I did the 50 shots one day (over about 3 hours) and the 2nd 50 the next day (over about 4 hours). Same shirt and pants ... different underwear and socks. :)
You are incorrect. This is allowed under the international WPA “official rules of pool” and in most league systems. See: billiards.colostate.edu/resources/rules/
Yep. I had a lot more shots on the initial list (including hopping up and off the cushion nose for shape), but I had to cut many to get down to 100. Although, I am already compiling quite a long list for a possible follow-up video.
it would help greatly if you showed where you are striking the cue ball on every single shot. For example, the first shot you showed under Kick, you were shooting from 30 to 20 to 0. On 61 you shot top spin from 50 to 38 to 0. How did top spin do that? On 68-70 no cue ball. I love this content except for the inconsistencies.
I only show the spin diagrams when the spin is important (or when it is not obvious). Otherwise, assume the CB is rolling with no sidespin. Your numbers are off on shot 60. Concerning 61, there is a system for Z-kicks, but it is not very reliable since everything is so sensitive to speed, spin, and conditions: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/bank-kick/z-kick/ Also, be aware that banking systems require adjustment based on table type and conditions. For example, Diamond brand tables typically bank and kick very short: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/bank-kick/Diamond And temperature, humidity, and ball cleanliness also play roles: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/table/humidity-effects/ billiards.colostate.edu/faq/ball/cleaning/ There are also many effects one must be aware of to use systems effectively: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/bank-kick/effects/
FYI, in my follow-up video (with another 100 shots!), I included the spin diagram for every shot! Thank you for asking me for this. It takes a lot of time, but I know people (like you) will appreciate it. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/Hb5v2VYMwIU/v-deo.html
You don't need any sidespin. See Shot 2 in my "TOP 10 EFREN REYES FAMOUS SHOTS ... And How to Shoot Them" video: ua-cam.com/video/V1czUp9k2Uk/v-deo.html
Good idea. A lot of work, but good idea. I plan to install an overhead camera soon. For shots where the angle is important or not obvious, maybe I can show top views.
@@DrDaveBilliardsthe greatest shot I've ever seen my brother in law make was a length of the table masse back cut bank and got position on the 8 back at him against one of his buddies, I had next game after seeing that nope 👎 you guys battle it out ,I think they played probably 30 games in 3 hours at $20 per game brother in law only lost $20
@DrDaveBilliards the one thing they know about my game I will go big or go home, I know they can safety the shit out of me the guys I use to frequently play, go to Vegas every year for national's or at least regional in mid west
The cloth in this table (Simonis 860HR) is actually average speed and it is not new. It is several years old and has seen lots of use with play, filming, and many lessons.
Maybe I'll do some follow-up videos that explain strategy and technique for each group of shots. In the meantime, I have hundreds of videos that do this already. You can find them under any topic or shot type of interest here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/

Bro..What size cue tip do you use?
You are hands down the best and most thorough pool instructor on the internet. Thank you
That is kind of you to say. Thank you, and you're welcome. I aim to swerve. :)
I am a total novice, but fascinated by and appreciative of the elegant beauty of this game.
I was hoping people would have that reaction. It is a beautiful and creative game.
This one video has decades worth of info I wish I had when I started playing. Even some shots that top players miss.
Some of these shots are very difficult, even for top players to execute consistently. But practice definitely helps improve the percentages.

Yes. Swerve is delayed on a new/slick cloth, increasing net CB deflection slightly. See:

On 61 you shot top spin from 50 to 38 to 0. How did top spin do that? On 68-70 no cue ball. I love this content except for the inconsistencies.
I only show the spin diagrams when the spin is important (or when it is not obvious). Otherwise, assume the CB is rolling with no sidespin. Your numbers are off on shot 60. Concerning 61, there is a system for Z-kicks, but it is not very reliable since everything is so sensitive to speed, spin, and conditions:

Also, be aware that banking systems require adjustment based on table type and conditions. For example, Diamond brand tables typically bank and kick very short:

And temperature, humidity, and ball cleanliness also play roles:

There are also many effects one must be aware of to use systems effectively:

FYI, in my follow-up video (with another 100 shots!), I included the spin diagram for every shot! Thank you for asking me for this. It takes a lot of time, but I know people (like you) will appreciate it. Here it is:

Where is "L" kick shot ?
I did one kick off a pocket point, but the "L" shot will be a good addition to my follow-up video.
@@DrDaveBilliards Sure, very need to know which sidespin used to make the "L".
You don't need any sidespin. See Shot 2 in my "TOP 10 EFREN REYES FAMOUS SHOTS ... And How to Shoot Them" video:

Why am i seeing the 91st shot illegal?
I don't know, because it is is a perfectly good hit. It is a jump shot, not a scoop.
showing english is good to show, how about object ball contact point also
Good idea. A lot of work, but good idea. I plan to install an overhead camera soon. For shots where the angle is important or not obvious, maybe I can show top views.
massè bank...
… or carom, combo, kiss.
@@DrDaveBilliardsthe greatest shot I've ever seen my brother in law make was a length of the table masse back cut bank and got position on the 8 back at him against one of his buddies, I had next game after seeing that nope 👎 you guys battle it out ,I think they played probably 30 games in 3 hours at $20 per game brother in law only lost $20
@@Derka_Derka-derp That would be cool to see in video.
@DrDaveBilliards the one thing they know about my game I will go big or go home, I know they can safety the shit out of me the guys I use to frequently play, go to Vegas every year for national's or at least regional in mid west
Longshots
Are you suggesting I should have included long shots?
Sadly, this only works with freshly redone tables, or mostly unused tables
The cloth in this table (Simonis 860HR) is actually average speed and it is not new. It is several years old and has seen lots of use with play, filming, and many lessons.
Take a few more seconds a SPEAK the shot and "english" used in addiditon to the pict. and its effect on the object ball.
Maybe I'll do some follow-up videos that explain strategy and technique for each group of shots. In the meantime, I have hundreds of videos that do this already. You can find them under any topic or shot type of interest here:

First again!
Nice job! You beat me to it again ... barely.
Lose the unneeded annoying music.
Thanks for the input.
@@DrDaveBilliardsdon’t lose the music, it’s banging
@@MrEthanboyle I like it too.
