Es war mega cool dich Kennen zu Lernen! Danke nochmal das du dir so viel Mühe gibst deiner Community auf dem Weg zu helfen ihr Billard-Spiel zu verbessern! 👋🏼🙏🏼🥳
I've been watching your videos for years. I've been shooting pool for about 10 years. I have improved but.....THIS IS THE BACK TO BASICS LESSON I NEEDED. I'm definitely going to be using this video for the next few weeks. NICE
Great vid. So much patience, thoughtfulness and detail attention. Probability one of the best explanations on position/aim/shooting I've seen on internet (and I watched some).
Brilliant video again from Sharivari! For me 9:08 to 9:14 is such important advice (that you don’t get in other instructional pool videos). Yet it was the main reason why for many years I wasn’t cuing straight!
Sharivari I saw you at the Derby City in 2023. I've been following your channel. Just wanted to say you have some excellent advice. I've been using your channel and one other one. But thank you for such good stroke techniques. Keep up the great work! Great coach and easy to understand.
THIS!!! 100 PERCENT! About 2 months ago, I couldn’t make a ball for the life of me for about 2 weeks. I couldn’t figure it out… I went back to my guy (that I took lessons from) and he immediately saw that my stroking shoulder was off the line. Basically, I had somehow started getting into a hybrid pool/snooker stance. I straightened my shoulders out, and everything started “rolling straight” again.
I qppreciate this video even thou inhave seen so many tutorials about tge stroke. There is just something about the fundamentals that gets me everytime and as i advance further in the game and falling inlove with consistency and precision i need to and will be putting some work in the alignment
Sharivari , or anyone who had a similar problem or knowledge . I have a struggle as I have gotten older . I play on pretty short 29 inch tables . I am right handed and left eye dominant which makes me feel I am nit creating a accurate piston with my stroke. That being said if my elbow is meant to be on the shot line and my eye over the ahaft , does that mean I rotate my body clockwise in order to achieve that , the only other option is to take the albow of the shot line to accommodate my left eye Dominance which is a must tbh . It's like one or the other has to suffer . And also on a 29 inch table I get my eye down to the center of the cueball which feels like its forcing the elbow farther out right of the shot line .
I'm a right hand player so i need my right foot on base line. So ive been doing it wrong dang. Ive been putting my left foot on base line. 558 fargo. 7 and 9 in APA.
At 11:46, I am starting to figure out how hard I can hit these shots so as the cue ball doesn't travel off on the tangent line too far before spin takes over. Like you say for the draw, this also requires a quality stroke with top.
Gotta have a perfect pool stroke,planning ahead one shot at a time, have to be consistent where you place the cue ball for position pool is a mechanical percision game of fundamentals....
I know the knowledge u share in this video requires alot of experience. What i reckon is we should watch quality pool videos to increase our level and that’s your channel. So much respect brother for you & for your such Gold knowledge. 🫡🫡
Got to have the ambition to be a successful pool player knowing the basic fundamentals and mechanics as well, steady stroke, great cue ball position and good eye, having fun and interest on the game....❤😂😮😊❤❤
One thing that I don't understand when watching pool: when players (professionals) are practice cuing before hitting the ball, the cue tip is all over the place everywhere except where the cue will eventually contact the cue ball. Whereas watching you, the practice cuing is spot on.
That's old school style and has a lot to do with feel. I also did that when I started with pool, because I've tried to imitate some of those players. As long as you're hitting the cue ball where you want on the final stroke everything's fine. But the younger generation has a more clinical apreoach, that's true.
@@Sharivari when you refer to this do you mean like staying down on the table after the shot? I feel like a lot of UA-camrs say to stay down after your shot like Mark Wilson. You’re saying it’s okay to stand after shot is executed? I do this off an on because I enjoy seeing the shot connect and go in standing. Very satisfying. But not sure if this is good for routine.
Some professional pool and snooker players say to stand back centered on the shot line and then move forward stepping into the shot and on the shot line, while others say to stand on the shot line and just shift your other foot 🦶 into place while getting down. I feel like the former helps with seeing from the right perspective, while the latter is more consistent. What says you? Cheers!
I think there is no right or wrong if it works. For me the most important thing is to actually align my vision center to the shot line. The rest then happens automatically.
Always good pool playing advice and humble presentation. Things don't always go to plan and you deal with that situation in most of your videos you don't fix it while editing your videos either while that would be tempting to do. Thank you for your honest work which also makes me want to come back and learn more most every time.
Unfortunately I can't post stuff like this on UA-cam. However, I've summarized it in the pinned comment of this video: ua-cam.com/video/hEE0HC-EPSQ/v-deo.htmlsi=U8z6uy0JQb0a8EdB
If I'm correct, the new Sight Right aiming method introduced in snooker has debunked placing your dominant foot on the aiming line as the optimal aim. Instead, you should aim from the center of your body somehow. I'm no expert though. If a certain method works then there's nothing wrong with it, even if it's not technically the most optimal one.
Learned some things here! Would be interested in a video on some specialty shots, like when CB and OB are 1/4 to 3/4 inch apart with the need to shot at various angles, and using the bridge in difficult situations, like short distances, near the rail, over the top of other balls. Every time I get in these situations I avoid them as my first choice, and struggle with them if I must take the shots.
Concerning the steps - may simplify your explanation somewhat simply to decide first where your bridge hand will be and place your dominant foot on the shot line at the appropriate distance to take a half step with your other foot and put your bridge hand down. So the other foot lands naturally at whatever location allows you to comfortably make that tripod, all the while maintaining the cue's position on the shot line. The part that's missing from your explanation is where you put your feet depends first on shot line but then on where you're setting your bridge hand.
Well I can tell you what I know for sure so about 85 per-cent of what you're saying is true the rest of it is not I had to learn this the hard way after playing pool 19 years the wrong way I finally understand exactly how it works but I also understand you have to make content I still like your content buddy
@sharivari Great binge-worthy content and I doubt you'll see this comment, much less respond, but I'd like to see a video demonstrating various pro players' strokes. Some players have a long, beautiful almost "wavy" or loopy, loose and relaxed stroke resembling a"figure 8" or see-saw motion like many Filipino players, including Efron and Bustamante. While others have a high and frozen elbow with a straight take-back and follow-through. Hope I'm describing this right. I love Efron and SVB's stroke. Thank you!
Shoutout to everyone I've met at the European Open in Fulda last week. It was a pleasure to meet and talk to all of you!
Did you play in the open? If so how did you do?
How about Raga? Do not think anyone expected David to win. Very nice finish to a fine tournament.
I woul like to know what cue are u using and the specs pls

Easily one of the best videos on posture, aiming, timing, cue action!
Thank you!

Love your channel!! You make incredible videos and I always learn something from every single video you make. Thank you ❤❤🙏!!!!
Amazing explanation, super thanks, subscribed with pleasure!

Sharivari you need to be on team Europe😊
Hi - have been watching your videos a long time & find them helpful. Would like to know: WHAT BRAND/MODEL POOL CUE DO YOU USE?
So tell me... Does LD shafts help with straight shots?
I'm a right hand player so i need my right foot on base line. So ive been doing it wrong dang. Ive been putting my left foot on base line. 558 fargo. 7 and 9 in APA.
Would you consider coming to an event in the US?
The US Open isn’t too far away.
Will be at the Derby next year. US Open is on my bucket list.
At 11:46, I am starting to figure out how hard I can hit these shots so as the cue ball doesn't travel off on the tangent line too far before spin takes over. Like you say for the draw, this also requires a quality stroke with top.
Nice one bro👍🇳🇿🎱
Also if you put the cueball on the spot, then your shaft will land on top of the middle diamond, for a straight in shot.
Please make a video with playing the white ball off the cushion,I battle with that , I can never get a straight shot

I think this is an excellent tutorial, however, I find it personally difficult how to control the speed of my follow through.
Any advice?
I see. This might helps: ua-cam.com/video/4QkMvZ_NyxA/v-deo.html
What about cut induced throw?
What about it?
Some experts say your foot should not be over the aiming line. Only up to the shot line.
Got to have the ambition to be a successful pool player knowing the basic fundamentals and mechanics as well, steady stroke, great cue ball position and good eye, having fun and interest on the game....❤😂😮😊❤❤
Thanks man.
No problem!

On 13:19 are you saying it’s okay to pause or not pause after a shot?
Both is fine, whatever you prefer.
@@Sharivari when you refer to this do you mean like staying down on the table after the shot? I feel like a lot of UA-camrs say to stay down after your shot like Mark Wilson. You’re saying it’s okay to stand after shot is executed? I do this off an on because I enjoy seeing the shot connect and go in standing. Very satisfying. But not sure if this is good for routine.
I'm right handed but left footed!! Any tips?
It doesn't matter if you're left footed.
Some professional pool and snooker players say to stand back centered on the shot line and then move forward stepping into the shot and on the shot line, while others say to stand on the shot line and just shift your other foot 🦶 into place while getting down.

@@Sharivari that sounds about right, cheers
How is your Table is always soo clean?
Do you even play on this Table?
Video editing 😁 And I don't play on it that often.
เมมมใรมว
FYI don't use a lefty to show how to
Is this a reupload of an older video? I feel like it is
Yes, it's a remastered version of an older video.
That is my biggest concern, im right handed but plays pool with my left so as for aiming this makes it hard for me
This is most excellent content and delivery. THANK YOU!
why you repost the old video instead of making a new one?
Always good pool playing advice and humble presentation. Things don't always go to plan and you deal with that situation in most of your videos you don't fix it while editing your videos either while that would be tempting to do. Thank you for your honest work which also makes me want to come back and learn more most every time.
How do you move the cue stick straight? Mine sort of wobbles a bit while it’s moving forward.

Trump needs to say it to the media and then ask them to fact check it
It'd be very interesting to hear your debrief from European Open. Your experience, what went wrong etc

definitely bookmarked this video as a reference to adjust my inconsistencies. Thank you Sharivari!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow what a great video. I’ll show this to the people I’m helping.
Awesome!
