Great stuff Mick. I can't believe we're getting info like this for free. I'd say as an African player access to coaching gems from top British players is immense.
Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Plenty more to come. Let me know if there is any topics you want covering.
Ive been playing pool for 30 years and somehow didn’t know this! Invaluable content! Thanks Mick
Glad it’s of use. Bit more to come on this subject. Stay tuned.
Love it mick and was even better watching you explain it in person. I know have an easier understanding of the parallel shift and will be implementing it into my game when needed
Great to hear!
This is awesome clarity about the parallel shift & you managed to put it clear for us out there and understand it. Thanks Sir Mick 🙏🏼😇
Glad it was of value. 👍
In just over 3 minutes you’ve probably helped my game 10x more than any hour long coaching video. Never managed to work out double cushion escapes, defo going to try this technique when I next practice. Thanks! 🙏
Glad the videos are helping. Please do let us know if there are any future topics you would like us to cover.
Gutted I'm not finding your videos til now, league finished a couple of weeks back! Never mind, gonna practice in the break and come back better! Thanks
better late than never!
Absolutely brilliant
Thanks
Sir!
I was waiting for a channel of this sort.
I can't explain how happy I am to have an opportunity to learn for you..."6 times"!
Thank you. Glad you like the content.
Been practicing this technique nearly their... thanks Mr Hill for clear instructions with great graphics... big fan ...
Happy to help!
I have always struggled to undertand this, thanks for explaining it in laymans terms Mick, much appreciated.
Happy to help
So glad I found this channel! Many thanks for your clear and concise tutorials. Much appreciated and. Looking forward to more 🙌🏻
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching
Thank you Mick for the great content. We definitely will be watching!
Great stuff!
This one I will watch again
Thats fantastic mick,I wasn't aware of that.been playing donkeys years so this is good to know thanks.
I didn't even see that shot. My thought was play up behind the two yellows and try and snooker my opponent or at least make it difficult.
Great tip
great stuff mate
Good videos Mick, top man, cheers!
Glad you’re enjoying them. 👍
Great videos. Really useful practical tips!
Thanks
Well that was beautiful! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simple yet brilliant 👍💡👍
Thanks 👍
Keep em coming mick really good Info for the amateur and pro alike
Mick, could you go through the "natural" angle thing in more detail please?
Great suggestion, will do
In your display of what a "hair of spin" looks like, it actually appears to be almost an entire half tip of side spin.
Illustration purposes only. But I guess it depends on the size of your tip.
Nice table Mick and parallel shift demo, I've been banging the balls in Bali the past 4+ years, going to the Asian open in Hanoi Vietnam this October to watch. Good to see your looking well, N... from D..... 🙂
Hi Mick can you do a video in the future on potting balls that you can't quite see the potting angle on using side how you can spin the ball in
Thank you very much Mick
That was so informative
A question:
I would like to have some clarity on the speed of a shot:
1. What is pressure grip and how does it affect the speed of a shot?
2. How does the cue distance affect the speed of shot?
3. When playing a shot should you always have the same cue distance? i.e should the cue stick travel the same distance in all shots?
Next video coming tomorrow might help you there.
Cheers Mick. Is this system unique to the geometry of the English table or would you use the same system on a Snooker/American table too?
Good question! Let me answer in a future video.
Thank you for the content. Question for you, on which axis are you shifting? Are you shifting along the closes rail to you (the rail that's top to bottom) or the first contact rail? Or is it diagonal towards the pocket that top left to you? I've been shifting along bank of first contact and not getting great success with it. Could be the bad rails I play on too though! Thanks.
Watch the other videos, especially the latest one about snookers and it will all make sense
When I try this the ball always misses to the right
Question- black corner pocket white opposite corner pocket no way up the table off the top cushion, how would parallel shift out of that? Right hand side before the middle pocket to straighten the white off the top cushion?
we will be doing another video on this topic that covers other scenarios, stay tuned
Cheers mick, thanks for the info please keep them coming. Ps do you find that table of yours a lot tighter in the pockets than the supreme?
Not my table. The table is fantastic though. It’s a SAM Atlantic Champion. I may do a review on it in future.
@mickthemachinehill yeah I've played on one in tamworth cues codsall, I found the pockets ridiculously tight, agreed nice looking table though .
It seems like mick hill is at a secret training black site for pool training
😂
Give us a game mick, wanna get smashed up so I can improve
😂
hi Mick very enjoyable again,as a youngster i was half decent could just break off and clear up,alas as an older player i developed a sad trend id stand behind and as soon as i adressed the cue ball i couldnt stop myself instantly striking the cue ball,suppose its similar to dartitas have you any advice,cheers,
Please ask at the upcoming live Q&A session.
@@mickthemachinehill Will do Mick.
Can you do a video explaining how to be more successful doing doubles (bankshots)
Great suggestion, we'll add it to the future list of topics to cover. 👍
Surely this could work on a snooker table right?
Yup
do you have any videos regarding a losing streak ,you're running out but at the end you seem to find yourself at the losing end of the game
Are ya ever coming back to new Zealand ?
Hopefully later this year. 🤞
How did u know that? Did someone teach u, or did u discover it urself?
🤷♂️
Hi all looks great but could we please get a scenario where the object ball isn't a dead set plant and is away from the cushion so its not such an easy hit? i appreciate the logic of whats trying to be shown but its all a little lost in what amounts to a trick shot , youve missed the intended object ball but being so close to the rail the area to hit is massive and the use of your Paralell Shift is kind of useless
The principal applies when a ball is in the open too. But the table, cloth, cushions all play a part. The table you see in the video had just been reclothed an hour before and the balls polished, it was also the first time I had played on it so wasn’t sure how it would react.
I hate it when people abbreviate my first name and call me by it and am constantly correcting them .. i know you had this problem a few years back.. have you come to terms with it... i just realised this question has nothing to do with your great video...
maybe ask it in the live Q&A we have coming up??
Not exactly the toughest shot. A better scenario to practice would be that the two yellows aren't on so then you need a snooker behind them. Those parallel shift routines might need bending
More to come on this subject.
Started playing here in nz and just wanting to understand timing a little better can anyone explain?
We'll try and cover timing in a future video
