Anyone who hasn't already heard this, isn't a good enough player to be able to make this concept a reality from a video.
Pool balls are spheres so the table must be a sphere also. 🌍
Hi
I don't like it, I love it!!
Sharivari, this video was most helpful. I’ve noticed not only in my own game, but also by watching other people shoot in our APA 9 ball matches that there is too much “over thinking” going on while down on the shot. When down on the shot, all of the thinking and planning should have already been done while still standing up. All that’s left is to stroke the cue the way it was planned. From that point the geometry takes care of itself.
We recently had the pleasure and honor of Tom “Dr. Cue” Rossman stop by our local pool venue a couple weeks ago. We saw some awesome trick shots demonstrated, but also we learned so much from asking questions and watching Tom demonstrate what he was teaching. Everything he said leads back to what you showed in this video. I asked him if he uses an aiming system to shoot. He said aiming is easy; all one has to do is be able to shoot in a straight line. That resonated with me loud and clear. If you stroke it the way you planned it, the ball is going in. Thanks again for another great video!
Wow, "all one has to do is shoot in a straight line" these words hit differently, i don't know why i didn't think of aiming in that simple way, thanks so much for sharing,,
The hardest thing for me is that I know what I need to do, I can just never execute the shot properly once it’s time to 😅 something is always off, whether it’s timing, speed, aim, my stance…thanks for always putting out helpful videos 🙏
Then start doing some practice with nothing but the cue ball. Put the cue ball on the spot and try to shoot it repeatedly straight down the length of the table and let it come straight back and contact your cue tip when it returns. If you find it does to the left or to the right, then your stroke is not staying straight. Keep practicing until you can do this perfectly straight and a few times in a row. THEN.. set up 2 balls on the head spot across from each other with just a little more than a ball width between them and do the same thing from the head spot.. shoot the cue ball all the way down and between the 2 object balls and hit it with enough speed that the cue ball comes all the way back and touches your cue tip. (Without hitting the object balls on the trip down or return trip back to you). This will mean that your cue ball has to pass perfectly straight through the object balls on the way down AND if you are cueing straight, it will pass BACK through the object balls a 2nd time on its way back to you. Then you’ll know that you are Cuing in a straight line. Always stay down on your shot until the ball stops rolling, pay attention to your follow through (where your cue tip is resting after your follow through).
As he stated in this video, ALL of your aiming and decision making for where to hit the object ball, how hard to hit the object ball and with spin or not is ALL done before you get down into position to shoot… after you are down.. you should be able to take a couple practice strokes and when ready, close your eyes and slow back and accelerate forward and make the shot… or don’t make the shot.. either way, the main thing here is that no matter the out come, you stayed perfectly straight while down on your shot and you had a smooth follow through! If you are cuing straight and you know you are, then your body alignment may be the main issue (during your pre shot routine, you may be getting down into what you THINK is in line with the shot line but in fact you could be to far to the left or right but even just a fraction. 1MM off is a mile off down table. 👌 keep working hard at it and have fun. You’ll get it! 💪
@@Mosconi526 100% . I’m pretty sure my issue is that about 20 years ago, I played pool religiously, every day! I was a pretty decent player, could hold my own against my coach who was on his way to turning pro (on my good days lol) Then life happened and I had to stop playing. I’ve recently purchased my first pool table and have been struggling ever since I started playing again…I “know” everything that I need to do and somehow just can’t execute. I think that I have too much “knowledge” but I’m trying to jump right back in without going through the motions one simple step at a time and trying to incorporate everything at once is just throwing my game off 😅 definitely going back to the basics as you’re saying would probably help me tremendously.
Thanks for the encouragement! Hopefully I’ll get into the rythme again soon !🤞 take care from 🇨🇦😊
@@simplyannoyed7117 oh yeah! That’ll do it! Well, as basic as my suggestion is/sounds, it’s really one of the strongest ways to get that stroke dialed back in… I’ve seen numerous pros use that as a warm up (over pocketing balls ) before big matches. 👌
@@Mosconi526 totally agree with you and think I will definitely go back to the basics, step by step 👌
At this point it’s just a matter of hours at the table for you then. Either with drills or games. If you can visualize the shot accurately you’re halfway there
Excellent video. One of the best things that ever happened to my game was YOU making a video two or three years ago, basically going over the same thing here, and just saying that once you get down on the shot your only job is to deliver the cue ball to where you intended when you were standing up. This has helped me so much.
In fact, three days ago I was playing a fairly good player that I have really struggled beating. I was on the hill in a race to eight match and had almost the exact shot you showed in this video. I knew exactly how I wanted to hit the cue ball in order to make the shot and get the cue ball back in good position for the eight. I decided what to do standing up and when I got down on the shot YOUR voice saying "just deliver the cue straight to your target" was actually in my mind.
When I am facing a tough shot those words are now exactly what I mumble to myself when I get down on the shot. It might sound weird for people to hear I am thinking about Sharivari when down on a tough shot, but it works for me.
Haha, that's one of the most awesome things I've read! Happy to help 😀
Sharivari is the best pool instructor IMO. He is a down to earth very nice guy and a student of the game himself. His own enthusiasm and interest to learn the game is passed on as a great instructor. Well done!
Thank you so much for this kind comment!
@@Sharivari thanks for what u do
I agree 100%.
Helpful again. I took lessons from 2 world champions, they said to shorten the bridge if you’re worried about over hitting it. That way you don’t decelerate on your stroke.
It's so true; you can't start learning until you have the fundamentals locked in. This seems especially true in both billiards and basketball. You have to have proper/consistent form and THEN you can learn how to adjust from your previous misses. Another great video, my friend 🙏
I’m a flincher, can’t lie. This is really sage advice. Thank you as always!
Excellent video and 100% true. Exactly what Mark Wilson talks about in his book. Focus on delivering a perfect stroke. There's absolutely nothing wrong with missing due to having your aim off. But if you have a consistent, smooth stroke and deliver the cue ball where you intended, then the shot is a success.
I always tell the learning players that it takes time to develop your eye for potting angles but when you get to a stage where you no longer have any thoughts about making the ball…it only becomes executing the stroke exactly as thought before the shot…and if you don’t make the ball you should be able to easily diagnose where it went wrong…thank you for explaining it so well Sharivari…your videos always help me understand this immensely complicated game we love!
Some great points that are not so obvious. For me, it's exactly as stated. When I focus on cue delivery and don't care about making the ball, I make more shots. *VERY* hard to do but it's about trusting the process, and the results will be there.
wow thats what I needed this morning ( Canada ), im going to a tournament, nice video as usual
Excellent perspective. Thank you!!
Super stoked for this season and your new videos!
GREAT VIDEO ! Just what I needed in my development. Now to remember the lesson when I am at the table.
Loved the way you teach us how to eliminate the pressure on making a shot. That helps a lot. Thank you!
This is so straightforward and insightful.
I can l see where my weaknesses in fundamentals like stroke are.
This is clear and well explained - gonna rewatch it before my next match!
Many thanks for your good help! Much appreciated!
I understand so completely and I was simply doing what you were saying but I forget this concept and revert to old habits! Thank for the reminder!
I started doing this recently and today I stumbled upon your video which confirms that my learning is going in the right direction. Thank you !
I actually have that problem. Working on it!!! Great video!
Great stuff! I think of it as trusting my aim n prep n just stroking the ball cleanly. Those old habits die hard so for me it's all about getting reps in. Thnx again for all of ur coaching
This is one of your best and most important lessons so far. Thank you 🙌
High yield! Sharing with my newer poolmates right away. I wish I would’ve had access to these sort of tips when I was learning!
I love all of your videos! They’ve really helped my game! ❤️
This video was very helpful. I am going to incorporate this into my game. Thank you!
Great advice. This is always how it is when I'm in a flow state.
Sharivari, I like this and can't wait to use this additional knowledge in practice and play... Thanks
Love your table! Very nice!
Great video, thanks for all your help!
that proper technique can be there but this mistake still happens, and emphasizing how its a mental mistake is so insightful.
Exactly. There is no aiming system out there to where you can make a ball every time
Thank you so much for the reply to my question. Keep the amazing videos coming
Great info bro. As usual, so much respect for you brother
I will definitely try to implement this and have high hopes that it will improve my game, thanks!
Excellent advice.
His man can TEACH! Thanks. John P.
Great video and I always like your positive attitude to the game! Best wishes to you! Ian, UK 😊
Great video ,I like it a lot the way you explain the shots
perfect!!!thanks a lot
Such powerful stuff love it
This makes perfect sense
Love the attention to the mental prep of the shot. So many people get lazy or complacent, myself included. Good stuff
Thank you!
Thank you. Great video
Great video, it’s crazy how good you explained everything
Thank you!
Super helpful. Thanks
Thank you for this advise.
Cue action is everything.
Thanks sharivari!
Yes, it was helpful. Also, it came just at the right time for my practicing and drills
Awesome!
This lesson is exactly what i feel nowadays, after about 3-4 years of training various techniques, league play and some low league tournaments. Basically "collecting experience", if you will.
I can say with confidence, that my shot making and positional play have evolved, since i know about your channel. (Following since about 2019)
Another big thing to success is, that one should NEVER let a failed or misjudged shot put stress onto your mental game. I always analyze what i've expected and what came out of the executed shot. Very rare, that i can't find a reason for my fails now and the frequency of fails to happen, has gone down significantly, while collecting more and more experience.
And that moment when you realize, you're already feeling most to all of your planned shots, is just mindblowing amazing.
Please keep on doing videos.
I'll watch each and everyone. Promised 🙏
❤
Grüße aus dem Ruhrpott 🐯✌️
Well spoken. Thanks for your kind comment. Grüße aus Bayern!
Thanks! Spot on what my problem is.
On our casual games, I always experiment specially on tough preparations, I usually miss before but I have noticed that my game improved now, thanks😊
Thank you I’m learning a lot from your videos
fantastic. Joel from South Africa.
Great video! The one thing I'd correct is you say "it should still be accelerating a little bit right before you hit th cue ball..." Actually the greatest point of acceleration should be at the moment of contact with the cue ball. That is the definition of good timing. I'm sure you just misspoke but that is a very important point.
nice preparation,very consistent,,,
Simple idea, but spot on. I need to just push the cue where I intended...and learn.
Very helpful! I knew it was my problem, but your vid and advice will help me work on not thinking while down on the shot.
Happy to help!
Excellent video!
I don't believe I've ever made my cue swing to the far right like you did at the beginning of this demo. I understand execution on what you want to get shape on the next position
Thanks for this reminder!
This is excellent advice - even though it almost sounds rediculous when you hear about it the first time.
But it works. 👍
Thanks. Yes it does. And it's easy to forget about when playing. I often have to remind myself about it when competing.
I recently have had more success when my focus is on where my grip hand will end not the tip, it gives me good straight follow through and it is what controls where the tip goes.
Very helpful!
Thank you your vedio very helpful.
Yes! I see what your point is/was. Execute what you planned on during setup and don't change a thing. I'll have to think about how I am doing when I next shoot.
very helpful!
Quality tip here. Intent, process, and input = execution, performance, and output.
All the other facets of the game in other videos are only helpful if we trust ourselves before we pull the trigger.
Very helpful video
You should make another video on aiming system cut shot with pov of the player. Lots of amateur players struggle with this
Great content. I’d love to see a video where you show how you completed the shots in this video starting 11 seconds into the video.
Well explained, sir
Thanks!
I'm gonna try this right now ! Thanks from Fr
It's been so helpful! I've tried it today and finally like you said i've found my mistakes more easily ( from my level : a beginner since 2 years )
Thanks you so very much
You are absolutely right. However regarding what your friend did 4:15 i think he was focusing more on the position than pocketing the ball which is a thing i do so often. You notice your first ball was perfect in position yet missed the pocket. Anyway i am just an average player but i think this is what it is
Nice learning video
7:08 😂😂😂 I used to do that in cut shorts and this video has helped me alot
Very helpful 😍
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful
Glad I could help!
Saludos desde Ecuador 👍
Good stuff
Great comments. Thxs
It took me six years to be able to do this consistently although I knew from the beginning how I should behave on the shot, but my mind couldn't help itself
I like it. First focus on cueing then focus on aiming.
this is really useful btw im 12 years old from philippines and i really love ur contents and now i know what to do to do that or other in pool.
sharivari is the best coach
Thanks buddy!
Pool is a mental and precision game got to develop a pool stroke follow through steady hands,it takes years to master the game it has mechanics and fundamentals to adjust in the game of pool....🙏🙏🤑🤑👍👍💰💰
Thanks!
Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for this! Watched this video the night before my league, and decided to apply it - think when you're standing up, and just execute the shot when you're in position. Was a so-so player in my league, but got 2nd place yesterday! Awesome, awesome tip!
Great that it instantly worked for you! Shows that it is just a mental thing.
“When you Don’t care if you make the ball, it takes the pressure away” reminds me “purposelessness”in zen story of The Swordsman and the Cat
“But when there prevails a state of ‘purposelessness’ [which is also a state of ‘mindlessness’] the Spirit harbors nothing in it, nor is it tipped in any one direction; it transcends both subject and object”
I love your videos. How do you keep your wrist straight? I having problems with keeping my wrist straight.
Great video,I’m going to try this system because I don’t have a lot of confidence in my shot making ability.
I really like the video, where can I Buy your Cue Stick?
Thank you
Welcome!
Very well done! My biggest problem is I forget the follow through. Thanks for the tip.
I am guilty of all of those things. I just said yesterday's that I figured out what I had been doing wrong: not following through with my shot. Thank you again for all the helpful videos.
Glad to help!

Forty plus years of mostly 8-ball on bar tables -it usually, even after months of inaction takes me about ten games to get hot, and then all of this, the diamonds, the cushions, the cloth, the humidity . . conditions are installed. Loaded. No thought involved, it's 100% feel. Like Jimi asked "Are you experienced?"
I've played for many years and now play in a league, I've watched probably 100s of videos from many different players but THIS video is the best of them all! No other video comes close to getting you actionable results immediately. My struggle and many other people's as well, is that, we lose our stroke constantly. And sometimes it can be hard to find again. Focusing on the material explained here works every time and works right away.
Great to hear!
This video speaks the simple truth. Everybody knows that to shoot well you have to "concentrate", but what does it mean in practice to "try to make the ball"? Scrunch up your eyes, wiggle your shoulders and take a long time to shoot? Focus on a ghost ball or something else in the field of view? Think about some aspect of mechanics such as grip strength or elbow angle? Do ALL of the above at the same time?
No, that not how the brain works, we can't focus on so many things at once. Instead, just make the effort to deliver the cue straight. Commit to the planned shot, and trust the outcome. Monitor the results, not to beat ourselves up, but rather to learn.
Delivering a cue straight isn't going to work if we aren't lined up to begin with. That's why pre-shot routine is so important. Here's my effort to list the steps from the video:
1) Stand behind the line of the shot.
2) Plan/swing/visualize the speed and cue-tip position.
3) Get down, take a few practice strokes simply to test whether, if you were to deliver the cue straight now, you'd make the shot.
4) If it doesn't feel right, stand up and re-align.
Now if I could only find the discipline myself, overcome a history of rushing shots and other bad habits, binge drinking, choking under pressure, and just generally acting the spaz, I might improve at this game.
Very well spoken!
usually you have to watch 10 videos to get 1 helpful tip I usually get a helpful tip from each of yours thanks.
Awesome, you're welcome!
Q about the learning process: noticing what was the mistake is critical. I hear "under-cut" and "over-cut" a lot. Is that always the right way to observe? Sometimes I think I'm "missing to the left" or "under estimating deflection", but I never hear anybody describe it that way.
It is very helpfull, but i have to think every time when i am down to stay still. If i dont think of that i always mis the bal because i moved during my shot. Thanks and i wil try all your lessons to day😘
