Hey Niels, congratulations on your win over Filler! You got me celebrating your 9 shot on the side like a world cup final man! I am a dreamer, 42 years old and a rookie at this game. I hope I can find you en the field competing sometime in the near future! You are a hero to me, so glad you won! Let's get ready for the next step!
Good stuff Niels! For my videos, I fast forward the video 10x in between racks. That way it's all there but sped up. Saves a bit of time, but your format is good, and of course, shooting is 100%!
I've seen a pro (world 10 ball champion Szewczyk) live in my pool hall running 10 ball racks like it's the easiest game on earth. And on a super tight Diamond table. It's great to witness flawless game.
yea i know you realize how good pros actually are but seeing them in person you REALLY get to see how actually insane they really are, it's either demoralizing or inspiring depending on how you see it
@@paxconsciente3352 definitely inspiring, i've seen also a young snooker amateur preparing for his pro card tournament and that was even more impressive, guy was potting everything and could do everything on the table. It made me train better, definitely.
You forgot to respot the 10 ball in the second rack after the combo. Love the confused look when you pulled the 10 out of the pocket after making the 9. 😂
Fellow Dutchman here...I do the same for a warm up before playing 8 ball with my crew at the local bar. Different table, old felt, bouncy rails, larger pockets etc. Niels, one thing I picked up is how you look more than 3 shots ahead after the break and ball-in-hand. You look at almost take in the whole table and identify early how you might want to break up certain ball combinations. I like that...I find myself doing that more and more. At least keep it in the back of my mind as to how best to work each situation like that. We keep on improving. Played my best pool ever last week. Played for over 6 hours and only lost a couple of games and only a couple of scratches. Felt in control, not nervous and kept it going for all those hours. Thought I would be either very tired or very buzzed after but not even that. BTW...I'm 73 years young and still loving this game.
This is an practice session to work on. Can't go wrong with 10 ball to learn position strategy and using ball in hand to get started is an excellent idea. Thanks Terminator 👍
Greetings, I'm from Venezuela, my name is Glen, I've been following you for years, you're a great professional and I've acquired a lot of knowledge from your videos. The only thing I'm missing is a cheap but good taco. Greetings
2:20 I like that shot from the 4 to the 5. I fall into the trap of taking the cue ball all the way across to the other side for shape on the 5, but keeping it simple like you did is the way to go. Thank you!
Yeah, he thinks SOOOO well, unsurprisingly. I'm always trying to get too cute with position, too, when just doing something simple/stupid/easy, and taking a SLIGHTLY harder shot, is the right answer.
Terminator, how big is your pool room? I want to get a 9'-0" table and your space seems, at least on camera, to be close to what I have. Thanks again for the great content!
Nice change-of-pace video from Niels in long form. Great to see his pattern play and thought process. I was watching some of Niels' matches from a decade ago, and boy does he still seem very sharp. He showed at the US Open he can still play with anybody. Funny to see him do leg kicks on the break. He doesn't always do it. It was common years ago, but far less so nowadays. I'd note that Neils seems in better shape than ever, but players have to be even more fit the older they get. Ah, the problem with aging. Your mental game and knowledge of the game are better than ever, but your physical skills and endurance start to decline. You could see it in Neils' 2014 Big Foot match vs Efren. Only it was Efren who was in physical decline. His break sucked and he missed some balls he never would have missed when he was younger ...
Hey neils, nice session man Could you try another format of 10ball: 10 racks every break and run count 15 points , every run with ball in hand count 10 point and when you miss you count the number of balls run in the rack Ps: the world record is at 126 ( carlo biado ) and the maximum is 150 point . Good luck with this drill everyone
Hello sir. I have a question about spin. Particularly about deflection. I am using a carbon fiber que and i swear sometimes i seem to get serious deflection and sometimes i dont seem to see any. My question is how to properly start understanding deflecting. I never know when to hit the ball straight as if i was hitting center ball....or to changle the angle of the cue with the backhand to try to correct for it. I miss so many shots because i just cant seem to figure out when to apply more or less angle. I hope you can understand this question. Anyways...thanks again for the tips!!
I play 14-1 at home with a camera and it definitely puts pressure on you.I have been in the 40s and really notice pressure and it has cost me a higher run for sure. My highest is 84 so any time Im in the 40's I start to feel it. Need to get over that.
Hi Niels @NielsTheTerminatorFeijen , been watching your videos for years... but only just recently I noticed something, the camera angle is always the same most of the time, it got me thinking... does your pool room doesn't have any chair/sofa, table, or tv or anything like that or is it just because you never show us the rest of the room? OR ... is it because you don't want to get too comfortable in the room to eliminate the chance of being lazy and make the room as "practice only" and not a "game room/lounge/mancave" ? OR .. is the space simply doesn't allow you to add more stuff? .... I mean, the idea of "Practice only room" sounds kinda suits you a lot... I know you're a serious player/hard worker on the top of the chain. I'm asking because I'm also planning to build my own pool room some time next year
Thank you for your wonderful videos! Many professionals do not know the challenges that we amateurs face.

What if i told you i didnt even realize he didnt do that wow you are paying more attention that i am because i am lazer focus what niels is saying
At 5:59 He says that he's playing with the rule that if he makes the winning ball, it stays down.
@@s98715 ok ✅ thank you 🙏

I am from Indonesia, love ur playing, I am ur fans in 2013 until now ❤
this format is extremely insightful . Keep it up!
I'm only halfway through this video, but I just want to say it's super insightful. Loving it
That was really fun to watch! As usual!
This is an practice session to work on. Can't go wrong with 10 ball to learn position strategy and using ball in hand to get started is an excellent idea. Thanks Terminator 👍
There are many professional players, but Niels Feijen, SVB, and FG are my favorites. I would love to have the sticks they used.
That was awesome !! Great job Niels. I will put this at the top with that masterful 8 ball video you did a few years ago.
Awesome work!!! Very helpful. I'm definitely interested in one of those Shirts!
"Two rails BOINK" Man I can't get that out of my head 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nice shooting as always Terminator!
Great content! Thanks for including the tip position for each shot.
That was awesome, would watch 50 videos of you talking us through your ghost ball games.
Great video to share the mind of a Champion! Thanks for sharing the insights!

Taco = cue
Had the tables change in a recent tournament. It was cool to see you work through it. I did not lol. Thanks for the unexpected lesson.
Excellent video. I look forward to more videos like this. Thank you very much.

@@MrJdsenior I agree. And I think it's a great way to learn while we're away from the table.
@@stuartcarter944 Now if only I could remember it when I am AT the table. ;-)
I absolutely love your "super happy" face :D
I love this videos, thanks master !
Probably one of the greatest rack review any pool player will ever see it
Very nice video and impressive playing, could learn some things :)
How big are the pockets on your table?
I love this stuff. Did u post a link for the getting into the line of position video. Im looking for it also. Thanks and great job
great job man. thanks for sharing
I love this guy. BOOM!!!!
Awesome Niels!
very nice. what is that you use for a break pad?
to protect the cloth, i use it as well
@@Bart_Depestele i was wondering exactly what it is. i generally use a spare piece of cloth for that. i don't know what he's using.
Rack 5 was a beautiful rack!!! Three rail to break out that three is beautiful wow!
Awesome run😮
Terminator, how big is your pool room? I want to get a 9'-0" table and your space seems, at least on camera, to be close to what I have. Thanks again for the great content!
more of this mr nils tnx
❤❤ was great and good lesson. Make one 8 ball game please if possible
Great video. Better shooting. 🤝
Congrats🎉🎉🎉
Love the content ❤️
You’re the man!

you're able to run 80 balls while distracting yourself, you could easily run 100 plus
I had to watch this is parts.... the tension was too much!... at rack 6 I almost forwarded to the end just to stop my suffering!
Play a little faster to let intuition kick in. GREAT . I think i need to do that more times than not.
Bravo!
looks so easy when you do it, is ten ball = you can't lose vs. ghost? How many balls before the ghost is a threat?
Sweet

What happened on the next rack, didn't you try to see how many you could do ? 👏👏
👍💪
what are the dimensions of the room you play in? Im thinking of putting a table in a room at my house, but I dont know if it will fit
you can literaly search "room size for pool table" on google and find the answer
In second rack forgot about 10😁
Greetings, Terminator! Thanks for another one!🦾
