Such great advice, do your homework people. I see so many people practicing to get better at pool by playing pool. I personally like to take the shots that I need to work on and I practice them over and over.
I have 20 cues of various costs, and they have all been tested. I play with a cheap Joss Hustler butt and a Z shaft. Hits like a million bucks and outperforms, even the Revo Tuxedo. Good advice, wise one!
As I said in my previous comment I’ve been doing a version of the mighty X and found that for draw shots only, not pausing at all helps on long shots. Thanks again for your time.
I can attest to what Bryan is saying. I was one that changed my stroke all of a sudden because I saw a certain legend player doing it. And it made sense the way he shot. Showed Bryan in a lesson and he wanted to check it out and evaluate it. It was a little rough at first but he made a slight adjustment to it and it was an immediate improvement. Keep doing what you’re doing brother
Thank you for opening my eyes. Im doing AB test in the marketing campaigns all the time and I never came to use it at pool. It is much about percentages in both and should be used. Great advice!
Great video. I'm definitely at the point where a 1-2% improvement would make a huge difference in my game. I have had a number of matches lately where 1 or 2 bad shots on my part changed the whole outcome of the match because my opponent ran the table after I missed. Or maybe I choked on the money ball and gave the rack away. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet, and shooting tens or hundreds of shots in a row is the solution, which takes a lot of discipline and patience.
I did this with my break a while back, I need to calibrate again soon. I look for three things when I break: did I make a ball? Where is my cue ball? And how is my spread? Those are usually some good indicators, and what I'm sure professionals look for in their breaks. I can get at least two of those pretty well about half the time. Getting all 3 was about a quarter of the time. It feels like it's boring, but it's worth putting the effort in to see the results.
Love your channel. How about looking at cue ball last versus object ball or contact point last? Been experimenting with this after seeing a video of Jason Shaw talking about how he looks at cue ball last. Might even be a good video topic for you.
Yes, that video with Jason is going to set back thousands of amateur players. Less than 10% of elite players look at the cue ball last. In fact, I can only name 2 The one you’ve been doing is probably the best one for you. This is not the kind of thing you want to change. By the way, if you have a perfect stroke like JASON it absolutely positively does not matter what you look at after you line up the shot. I have students close their eyes in practice, all the time, and they make the shot.
I recently quit drinking and my AB testing confirms I shoot better sober. Lol. Seriously, though, I need to do this for my break and find out what works best for me. I usually break from the right rail in 9 ball and just a shade to the right of the spot in 8 ball, but I’m not happy with my results.

Great advice! I'll take the 1% here and 1% there. Pretty soon, you're 5% better. I'll take anything in can get.
You got it - one percent is major!

Nice!
Have you ever encountered a player with arthritis hands as i do. I shoot both open and closed bridge all depending on where I'm at on the table.
Yes, eventually we’ll all be playing with arthritis. It’s common and also a good idea to switch from open to closed bridge as needed.
👍 i notice something watching Pool many players use open bridge
The last couple generations of players have been coached towards an open bridge. 30 years ago you only used one if you had to reach down table.
Thank you because I been changing my bridge then when I play i hear your saying pay attention 😂😂
Thanks for watching and sharing your comments.
If you are gonna break 50 times in a row, wear ear plugs.
Which team is going to win The Mosconi Cup this year?
If I thought the answer was anything other than USA, I would not respond. So there you go - have a great day. USA USA USA
