Probably the best online and in-person instructor there is. Tor and his videos have helped me so much. If you do not have the videos, get them. Very detailed and in-depth. Covers a lot of area and very well done.
I can't say enough good things about Tor's videos and booklets that accompany the videos. This set of videos has a tremendous amount of information. The instructions on how to recover the cue ball when you get out of position was worth the purchase price alone. The quality of these videos is exceptional. Anyone trying to improve their game will not be disappointed. Great job Tor!
Excited to try out these drills. Thanks for the content. I wish there was a lot more explanation given to how you determine which balls are “connected”
Just took advantage of your holiday deal on the digital download and I have to say everything is fantastic! Thank you! Please keep making content, I look forward to downloading this as well
I have a question about the pattern starting at 12:05. I would normally play this pattern by playing the 6 in the bottom right corner and draw back a few inches or so, then play the 4 in the top side pocket with low to play the 1 in the top left corner with follow and then the 5 in the bottom left and the cue ball naturally follows a path to get you on the 8ball. It seems like the 5 is a good last ball because there is a ton of room for error. You can shoot it way too hard and still land it. Can you tell me why that is wrong? Thank you. I love your videos.
That's also a good pattern. A few of the patterns in this video have more than one good repeatable pattern. In this pattern playing the 6 first also works.
@@ZeroXBilliards thank you for the clarification. It would certainly be nice to have someone like you local to me. All we have here in Maryland where I'm at is APA pool league. Don't get me wrong, I don't play bad. I'm a 9 in 9ball which is the highest but I want to get to that next level and there just isn't really anyone around here that can help with that. Mike Sigel and Karen Corr were house pros at a place near me but very pricey and don't get near as much out of it as with your videos. Thanks again.
At 11:10 I feel like the more natural way would be stop the 3, center ball stun the 7 or roll it, straight in 6 then straight in 4 makes getting on the 8 much more natural. A lot of people will struggle with that bottom right off the 7 down to the 8.
Hello Tor- when ordering the DVD set where would I find the promo code? Also thank you so much for making these instructional videos for purchase. All videos you posted I feel I’ve learned so much. I’m very excited to receive this DVD set.
21:04 Wouldn't it be better to use the 7 as the key ball. Roll the one into the side then shooting 5-6-2-7 controlling, the first follow shot becomes simpler and so do the last 2 shots this way. Please correct me if I am wrong, I mean no disrespect and have learned a lot from this video.
Your a godsend man. Id like ti kno w when u aim stick thru center cue ball at certain spot on tue object ball where the actual contact points are versus the aiming points. And do i get no deflection cuz im the man or im not stroking thru The cue ball
Tor Lowry I have downloaded all the video of the link you mentioned but I still cant find the full video that I wanted , could you please tell me the file name ?
Is there a video explaining what it means for balls to be 'connected'? I have a general idea, that the balls are close, position is easy from one to another, etc. But it's said so definitively that it seems like this whole notion was covered in another lesson video.
...after studying for a while, it seems that balls being connected means the line between them aligns with a pocket, meaning a stop shot on one would be position for the next, into that pocket.
@@barefootrockeryou are correct! When the balls are “connected” it means the balls can be pocketed with very simple shots like a stop or a stun shot or maybe an slight roll or small draw. Once you start seeing more connected layouts you’re going to start running out more racks. Here’s a pro tip not included in the video: often times balls will make various triangle formations which are super handy because a triangle can be shot with very simple high percentage shots and they’re usually connected with several options for pocket and the order in which you shoot them in. Happy hitting ‘em!
I was able to predict the harder patterns but not the simple ones, does that mean I'm complicating the game for myself? or is it a matter of preference?
That's great. The main thing is that it's a pattern that is repeatable and doesn't require perfect speed control for one or more balls. If you can repeat this pattern on your own table with similar cue ball position results for each ball then it is a good pattern.
I’m 19 years old and I would like to come in and train with you. I’m very dedicated and have been playing non stop since I was 15. I’ve been getting better fast but I need to keep striving and I’ve learned a lot from you in the past. If u could please contact me somehow. Thanks
It will become more lucrative to help masses of people accumulate knowledge to go from intermediate to semi-expert , rather than compete for a few grand here and there minus travel expense and entries, against world class champions. Only a handful of very good players actually make a decent living at it.
@@gambloduck6633 also theres a lot of amazing players as well at all these tournaments so your chances of winning and making a living are slim to non as well as you cant win every tournaments.. some pros win one championship ever and thats it they never win again some never win at all and make most there money on side action. Some win then dont win for many years so honestly hes doing more good for the sport as an instructor then as a professional player i appreciate all of tor lowrys content it all makes sense.. now if i could only get a one on one 14 day training session id be super happy..
hello buddy, watched some videos of you. your exercises are great. i also do pool exercises and trick shots. if you like, have a look. i would be happy. Greetings Heiko.

Thanks Deep Divers, I appreciate that ! Tor
How can I get the video and how much it cost you ? Please I need this information because I want to improve my game
Probably the most helpful video on position play that I have found on UA-cam. Thank you!
Tor is the greatest everything I know came from him simply the best instructions ever
Long live TOR LOWRY!!!
Thanks William! Tor
Excited to try out these drills. Thanks for the content. I wish there was a lot more explanation given to how you determine which balls are “connected”
Balls that you can get on and each one basically gets onto the next naturally.
Great video as usual. I’m having a tough time figuring out what he means by connected. Pattern recognition is the toughest thing for me.
Same and same
Thank you for sharing, great tutorial and drills. I appreciate the freebie!
Great video. I really like seeing this in an exercise format
Yesssss a new video!! Love your stuff so much man ! Keep it coming and thank you! Slowly have been buying all your material!
I'll be adding more videos soon. Thanks, Tor

Awesome video... helps so much after being out of the game for 10+ years... I Subscribed!!!
Thank you for the subscription! Tor
Thank you for sharing this great drills
Just took advantage of your holiday deal on the digital download and I have to say everything is fantastic! Thank you!
Please keep making content, I look forward to downloading this as well
Thanks for the support Gabriel! Tor
I’m getting this for Xmas. Love his stuff but I need to put more time in
Same and same
Finding the connected balls confuses me, how do I determine which balls are connected?
by checking which ball could help the cue ball land on the other object ball line
Finally a new video i would love for him to do a video on his mental side of the game i would love that dvd or digital download
Daniel Garcia he put one out on mental game
@@medallion39 i know he made one on i just wanted a preview here on UA-cam
Love this it will help me out on my pool game
incredible teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do u do in person from a home base ???????????

Cheers thanks- no need I’ve ordered and feel this is money well spent and product is well priced. Excited to receive latest DVD set.
Is this different than the video titled 8 ball drill master? How new is this release? I think I own this but not sure
Good advice.. Thanks 👍🇳🇿

Tor, I see patterns that I feel that I could execute more easily. what do you recommend?
I assume that we start with ball in hand on all of the first shots?
Yay a new UA-cam video!
I don't understand how you can determine a plan when the cue ball is not shown on the table. What's the purpose of that? Thanks so much.
great，how could i buy the full video？
Hi Ession, here is the link: www.zerox-billiards.com/12-pool-instructional-videos

@@rocketpoolession8726 Hi Ession, it is called 8BallMaster2-1. You should have an eBook that comes with it also.
thanks very much and I will check it again
Very nice,I have your 8,9 ball pattern puzzle book,I don’t really understand it!
How do you determine which balls are connected?
I am literally thinking the same exact thing like what does he mean by this?

How can you find a pattern when you do not show where the cue ball is?
Jack Pedersen based off of ball in hand.
Tor! Amazing video. How can i get you to my town? I help at a pool hall. Me and the guys talk about your material daily! Please hit me back
When you say that two balls are connected... what do you mean?
Bom dia gostei muito dessa aula
Tor, you keep saying to look for the balls that are “connected”! I guess I just don’t understand what connecting means. Thanks
That just means you don't have to do too much with the cue ball when pocketing the ball to have shape on the following ball.
The last one is:
1 - side pocket
4 - side pocket
6 - corner pocket
3 - side pocket
5 - corner pocket
I was able to predict the harder patterns but not the simple ones, does that mean I'm complicating the game for myself? or is it a matter of preference?
Maybe on those simpler patterns work backwards completely from the 🎱
welcome back
I think I just raised my Fargo Rate by 100 points after watching this.
What does it mean when two or more balls are "connected"?
It's when you can pocket a ball with a stop shot (or minimal cue ball movement) and you'll have position on your next ball.
Sorry but how do you determine which balls are "connected"? What do you mean by this?
That just means you don't have to do too much with the cue ball when pocketing the ball to have shape on the following ball.
@@ZeroXBilliards Thanks. That clears it up for me.
Tor May I sign up for 14 Day Transformation?
Hi, can you send your information to zeroxbilliards@gmail.com?
what if I come up w/ a different pattern that works
That's great. The main thing is that it's a pattern that is repeatable and doesn't require perfect speed control for one or more balls. If you can repeat this pattern on your own table with similar cue ball position results for each ball then it is a good pattern.
Great video but pattern recognition is a big bad spot of my game, I was wrong on about 90% of the patterns. And I’m a skill level 4 in Apa
Im a 7/9 and i almost never have the "correct " solution according to tor
Lets get Tor to play Dr Dave for the battle of UA-cam pool coaches, I got my money on Tor.
