    Key statement here folks... and after 25 years of searching it took Niels to get it through my head, “There is no magic pill”, for all the reasons Niels stated. Sometimes it take hearing it from someone you feel is being genuine and not just hoarding knowledge before one believes it. Thanks Niels, always great education from you.

      Yes in 9 ball the shot are repetitively so if u practice those shots every day after about 6 months to a year u will start running out a lot more than what you are.

  • @imranramjewan6470
    @imranramjewan6470 3 роки тому +11

    With the low deflection shaft that I use, I aim thicker when using outside English however when using inside English I aim at the natural contact point using parallel (front hand) English because the deflection is almost zero. With the regular high deflection shafts I use backhand English to compensate for deflection for both outside and inside English. Its consistent once u have the correct bridge length to match the pivot point of the shaft.

Big thumbs up for the comparison between what you noticed on different players throughout the years. This is where learning from others can help us have that edge.

    So happy to hear someone of your stature tell it like it really is! Ghost ball and feel is all a player needs. I don't even think in terms of ghost ball anymore, I just line up in a way that it "makes sense" which is the ghost ball by definition but I don't think about trying to replace a ghost ball. I just see lines in my head.

    Holy crap! ANOTHER GREAT TUTORIAL! Thanks for for the "ghost ball" technique, I've always used the cue stick (pretending to hit the object ball, to "mentally" mark it) as my alignment method. The "ghost ball" technique allows the brain to naturally SEE "throw" and other reactions if you DO need to use spin. What a GREAT channel, The "TERMINATOR" has teaching abilities that surpass even Dr. Dave most of the time. UNREAL! Thanks for posting...

  • @davidvogler2552
    @davidvogler2552 3 роки тому +3

    Niels, great lesson, man! Love to watch you play, and learn from you!!! I've tried every aiming system under the sun, until I finally gave up all the confusing and conflicting "systems", and started to just trust my instincts. Took me a long time to learn "I always hit this a little thick, adjust it out a little." Or, "I always hit this shot a bit thin, thicken it up!" Indeed, there are no "Magic Pills" and to hear it from you, Niels, just confirms what I already suspected in my head. There is no substitute for feel, and hitting many thousands of balls. I also like your bit about how we all adapt our aiming as our gear changes, and getting locked into a "system" is a detriment to being able to feel it out instinctively. Great content!

  • @jeffreyrobson119
    @jeffreyrobson119 3 роки тому +3

    This is something I have been setting up every day and working on before I start my drills. Knowledge of how to hit with full insides or bottom outsides makes the game so much easier, and gives you way more options with your cue ball. Keep up the great videos Niels!!

  • @SRBurns-oo2ij
    @SRBurns-oo2ij Місяць тому

    A very stable open bridge can be made by having the first 2 sections of the index finger pulled back under the third section. The 1st and 2nd are flat on the table. That is to say, tucked back under the third section of the finger. For most shots, I find this more solid and also allows a more comfortable and tighter placement of the thumb. When a higher bridge is needed, it's usually better to put the index finger straight out again to more easily get the height.
