- Pool Patterns or Routes are the order that you look to take a clearance out in. In this video I play a few racks and talk you through my thought process as I try to clear the table.
My patterns are not perfect, and I am sure many of you will see different ways of going, but I hope that this video highlights some of the thoughts that can help you work out your clearances.
Comment below to let me know if you agree with my patterns or if you have spotted a better way to go.

I recently retired from being a Professional Pool Player and England International to focus on a commentating and broadcasting career. My aim for this channel is to pass on some of the things I learned along the way, some coaching tips, practice routines and drills, as well as some insights into my broadcasting career.

Got this down on my not book thank you work on drills to help my precision/speed control.
Awesome video yet again Simon. This is what makes you such a great commentator on Free Sports. Accumulated knowledge over the years.
Thank you.
A really interesting watch. Very insightful. Thanks.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Great video mate, very helpful. Just an idea… could you have a visual cue ball on the top of the screen identifying where you’re striking the cue?
Great vid Simon, this has always been my biggest problem, taking the balls in the correct order.
That is the same for most players
I'm a new subscriber, this channel is amazing. I've been watching Break for Life with awesome cueing and cue control tips, but for snooker. I'm a pool player so this is golden. Thank you and keep going.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing!! Could you do a video on how many balls you can pot without missing leaving the black to the end and then re racking the balls again and having the break as a free shot
Yes, I can have a go at that. Its a good way of working on patterns as well.
Hi Simon.
Enjoying the videos, this one especially to get someone else’s approach to the table. Mind me asking why you wouldn’t kick the red off the rail in frame 4? Chose to take red over opposite middle when that could have been used as security?
To add, it was the rack where you ended up missing the red down the railing last ball.
I like that as an idea, but I think the camera is slighty deceptive as i dont think that shot was really on. It was a lot thinner than it looked.
@@SimonTWebb I know what you mean, always looks different when you’re at the table compared to watching. What’s yours thoughts on that though? Would you ideally like to kick a ball out or try and play percentage and leave a shot?
I always prefer to leave the ball and back myself to make it. But I would play to kick it out if it helped the pattern. If the shot you mention was on then I like it as you can play it with loads of control having the ball over the other centre.
Class mate 👍🏻 hope you’re keeping well.
Thanks mate. Just seen you have a channel as well. Looks great. Good luck with it. Hopefully see you at an event soon.
@@SimonTWebb thanks man! Just something to help pass the time during lockdown, nice to help people out too.
Defiantly hope it’s not to long before we’re back at big comps again.
Enjoy watching on Monday nights, the presenting has definitely improved, looks more professional 👏🏻
Thank you. The show feels like it is getting bigger and bigger every week. Really looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.
@@SimonTWebb this event has been brilliant so far, but I think the next one coming up is going to be even better! Some big names involved. Good luck with it all 👏🏻
Thank you. I agree. Some huge names involved.
Great video mate, I like that setup with the two balls for traffic, I will give that a go 🤜🙏
Good drill to work on patterns. For me the biggest key to the game.
Would've took the second last red to the top left. Would've left you alright for the last one down the rail.
Great video. Love these 😁
Thanks 👍 I like that idea. would have been a harder pot, but easier than the ball down the rail I left myself.
Still watching- plan B running side to get on bottom ball and snooker if pot missed. Great v-log - again a drill to practice to improve pattern play. I need to set aside time for training. I only play on match night and training time will help me improve
this may be my fav drill for patterns.
I tried this today amongst all the other drills I could remember. If I get to the pool hall tomorrow afternoon - I’ll try out the app so my practice routines have focus
Nice video, I definitely would have gone for yellows though in first frame. >
Haha. Thank you.
Hello. So for the missed pot, couldn't you have played top spin with a touch of left english to play 2 rails amd the white lands behind the black ball to pot the black in the middle pocket?
Great video
Thanks!
Nice little practice routine that I definitely need. Think I'd of taken the easier pot at the start of the 1st, hate missing a tough opener and handing the better balls over. Was thinking you should definitely take the ball down the line when you were on it, weren't guaranteed to get back on it as nice.
I agree, I should have changed my route and taken the ball down the rail when i was on it.
Your cueing is very good. I would miss half them shots. Lol
My cueing lets me down plenty, but I try to keep the game as simple as possible, to make life easier.
Yes I would have taken the ball on the cushion. When an opportunity comes to clear a horrible cushion welded ball I go for it. Not always to my advantage I have to say.
These are the choices we have to make. Won’t always get it right
17:46 On whether to change to the red on the rail. In a match, I'd imagine that would be the play so if you miss it you leave plenty of reds on the table to get in the way.
Yeah, I wish i had changed. Think i would have done if I wasnt filming the video.
At 16:36 I would have tried to steer the white towards ball down cushion landing just above middle pocket area incase I over hit it I could go for red between yellow and black. Idea would be to drop it down cushion and either take red by middle into opposite middle or top pocket landing to run through for the last red and black in opposite corner.
I agree, where I landed was perfect for the ball on the cushion, and in a match I would have changed my plan and played it. But as i had a clear plan I wanted to play it out and see what happened as i felt the ball down the rail would have been a better ball to land on the black. I was annoyed i didnt see the route to play on the ball on the cushion from the start.
Being an excellent potter makes most breaks easy enough, position can go awry and the break still continues. Most of us are not excellent potters sadly.
We still waiting for sides spin perfection 😭 even if it will be 2 hours explaination😭🙌
It is coming. Just with Covid and travel limitations I have had limited filming time availible.
