I like that she says that everyone has their own way. A lot of instructors don't respect that. As a right handed person, one might be inclined to say always use your right hand, it just works better. But people are different.
Not just using different hands, as I am a lefty but can shoot most shots just as well with my right (Like Ronnie O' Sullivan), but just stance in general. Nobody sees or thinks the same, so whatever makes sense to you use it.
@@deadballPaul You're in Great company. Mike Sigel was/is the same & he won many Pro Titles (over 100!) in his heyday! He was also the youngest player inducted into the BCA Hall Of Fame!
The "bad elbow drop," is when it happens BEFORE the cue makes contact. I was taught not to drop elbow so follow through was very inconsistent. However, I got a coach that pointed out that elbow drop AFTER contact is not only easier to follow through but also much more natural. I know a lot of old school people and people newer to pool hear "elbow drop," and automatically assume it's negative.
I was also taught not to drop elbow, but I always felt natural dropping it. As long as you keep your cue tip very close to object ball during practice strokes, elbow drop should then occur close to/after cue tip contacts the cue ball. I hold my cue with my arm not exactly perpendicular to the ground, but slightly further back to ensure my elbow doesn’t drop before my cue tip touches the cue ball. This offsets the little gap that I have between my cue tip and cue ball during practice strokes.
@@Greenhorn88on certain shots I'm about done with practice strokes. I know we are taught to do the same shot routine but I'm starting to think the same shot routine for the same shots.
Mike Sigel dropped his elbow to where his forearm rested on top of the cue! You can create a lot of power doing it, but as always you need to practice any new technique until it becomes natural to you.
Dear Jasmin,I'm 75 years old,and lately,I've took up to playing pool(8 ball).🎱 When I first started I was a real desaster,probably a class 2 or 3 player,but I've started to watch some tournament that you where in ,and that brought me to subscribe to your instructionnal site,and WOW ! let me tell you,that the quality of my game as improve dramatically(maybe class 5 or 6 now),so much so ,that my fellow pool buddies(some have played for many,many years) asked me how come that I've improved so much,and I've told them about you. So I want to take the time ,to thank you for your help.
Hello, I'm from Argentina, thanks to your videos I managed to improve a lot in a short time and I finally managed to get first place in an official tournament in my country, keep it up, you're great!!!
This is the #1 most helpful pool instruction I've ever heard. It's like magic. I'm 66, and my strength and coordination aren't what they used to be, so I'm having to rebuild my stroke to take into account the changes in my body and abilities. I've been trying to isolate all the elements of the stroke, trying to put them all together at once. Adjusting to the changes age brings was something that was taught to me by a retired Xerox executive, my friend Norm Wilson, who is a generation older than me. Norm was a very good golfer. At ages 89-93 he was shooting under his age on par-72 courses, and would have done so more except for the fact that, more and more often, he would run out of gas on about the 15th hole. You could still see his coordination and flexibility, which exceeded that of most people his age. He finally had to give up golf at 96 because of increasing blindness and problems with one leg. In that 5-year time period when he was shooting below his age, which was when I knew him, he told me that every season, his most interesting challenge was to learn to adjust for changes in his body that had happened over the winter! Great guy. He's still alive at 98 and misses golf. Concentrating on the follow-through makes a lot of the rest of the things automatic or almost automatic. It's really helping me. "Transforming" my stroke is also a way I could put it. I had just recently realized that accelerating the cue through the cue ball is important, but if you concentrate on the follow-through then that takes care of itself. THANKS JASMIN! Seriously, big thanks. Now if you could help me learn to draw the ball... 🙄
This is great instruction. The language you use and your presentation helped me reframe what I was trying to learn and what I needed to do. Instead of thinking in terms of hitting less hard, snapping the wrist, or degrees of power, as in every other video, I could now see ithis in terms of Quality over Quantity. As in many areas in life, it is Qualtiy that produces desired results, not just quantity. When I work on my stroke now I try to think of making a quality stroke (long follow through) instead of just trying reduce or increase how hard I hit. This is not only good advice, but I have more fun when I get more draw than I used to, with just thnking about making a quality stroke. I thank you also for your elbow drop and how natural it is for you. All my life, and especially the last few years, I have heard from every source that elbow drop is EVIL, and I have been fighting this tendency. The message I get from you is that this is not necessarily so, and that I should focus on making a good, effective stroke and not worry about whether or not my elbow drops. If the money ball goes in, nobody cares about what your elbow does. )
I had a very hard time doing english or follow through for a long time, it was like my body understood follow through only for playing center ball, but when appying english I always stopped for no reason... had to do a ton of introspection... I wish 10 years ago I had access to your content. so good.
I'm not a pool player, just enjoy it sometimes with other friends! but I really appreciate your guides & tips! they're super helpful in cuesports as a whole
On draw shots, I run into a conundrum: shorter bridge length helps with good follow-through, but longer bridge length provides a longer "runway" for accelerating into contact. I try to find the sweet spot to maximize both (I don't employ elbow drop, usually). Your point about quality of stroke is well taken. I've long noticed that the best players rarely seem to overpower their stroke. For them, less is more! When I have to get a lot of action out of the cue ball, I literally say the word "smooth" in my mind, before I shoot. Thanks for all your videos, which are not only informative, but inject a lot of humor! Much appreciated!
After seeing this video I worked on this technique and believe me it works. I believe in the elbow drop especially on long shots.... Thank you Jasmin!!!!!
I love that shot and practice it often I was watching episode on "pocketed"where he was talking about when Tyler Styer Was in the pool room telling him that that was one of the hardest shots to learn and master,and then told everyone if they could make the shot to post the video here on UA-cam and ever since I made it I've been Practicing that shot it makes you be very consistent and you are correct it can only be done with a slow cue with progressive speed and extreme follow through no amount of power will make it work! To me it also feels like it has a lot to do with your stroke timing , I feel like I have to hit the cue Ball Just a split second before my maximum stroke speed for the shot so that I do slightly push through the ball so that I'm gaining speed as I go through. But of course that's just why it feels to me. As usual great work and great video ,thank you for everything you do! By the way in my very humble opinion you have one of the best strokes in the game today keep it up 😉
She makes a very good point.. What needs to happen when you place a shot isn't being argued.. It's obvious to most. BUT, how you get there shouldn't be "written in stone".. People come in many shapes and sizes and I doubt if the instruction given by a tall, slender instructor will transfer word for word to a short, stocky student. At some point, you have to decide what works best "for you".. If you drop your elbow at the end of your stroke or use too many or two few fingers to grasp your stick, but your stroke is straight and your aim true.. Then who is to say that you are doing it wrong? As with many things in life, the results speak for themselves.. Excellent video/lesson Jasmin Ouschan... Thanks for posting this!
The main issue I’ve seen with people not having proper follow through is because their body is in the way if they were to do an elbow drop, which causes steers or twists of the back arm to avoid hitting your body. You must develop a stance where your body does not get in the way of the stroking motion with the exaggerated follow through. In fact, it should be a throwing motion- similar to your body not being in the way with the throwing or swinging motion in football, baseball, golf, tennis, and bowling.
My personal thoughts/ observations is that follow through can help in several ways: if you stop the strokr at contact, it adds risk of unwanted muscle movement that is not focused on the direction of your shot, meaning you are more likely to miss or hit it with a speed you didn't intend. The other thing that's good about follow though is that it gets you to keep your stroke on course. You are thinking about where the cue stick is past the cue ball and that means your line of aim is more likely to remain on target. Regarding elbow drop, it can help you keep the cue level and not accidently hit higher/lower than intended, but you do have to practice so this drop doesn't move right or left which obviously this great player is able to master.
You have more than earned the right to be arrogant and to believe that your way is the best. You have innumerable championships to back your claim up. However, you continue to be humble and to be confident yet open to other “right” ways. This is a quality ever so rare in people who have accomplished a lot. You are a natural teacher. Your pleasant demeanor is a perfect companion to your skill. Your videos are devoid of drivel, self aggrandizement and do not drag on frivolously. Please continue to contribute to the sport. Side note: I am a beginner and love the game. Techniques and plans don’t come to me naturally and I often have to really think my shots through. I have something I say to myself, often out loud, which is: what would Jasmine do?😊
Excellent video ! The follow-through seems easy but it is not easy to master. It is the step you need to graduate from beginner to intermediate player. It is so nice to look at a fluid stroke over a poking stroke. I am not there yet but I work hard on it, bad habits are tough to get rid off.
Your timing is great, and follow after contact is smooth…. That is main point… how other players can adjust their strokes is personal for all… many hours on table need to have all in line….
In a men dominated sport, you dominate the youtube scene! I prefer watching your videos in contrast to Feijen, Appleton and many other greats. Subscribed.
🎯🎯 Really EXCELLENT advice. Thanks. I think the individual, unique, anatomy of one's hand and wrist as well as the proportional relative lengths of the upper arm vs. the forearm can have a significant effect on how each person executes the 'follow-through'. Your advice is great in giving everyone the same goal but the freedom to find the best way for each person to achieve it.
Just want to let you know, you did explain so well and you even cover with what can we do if some of us were to have hard time adapting the technique 😊 11/10
Even after playing for years this was good for me to remember. When I was starting to want to learn I would remember to think this during a pre shot routine.
Ball English , it’s basically getting the Cue Ball , to correct impact spot , depending on impact , someone could play right or left English to pocket the ball , it’s shot by shot and leave
Hi Jasmine! I’m not a big pool player, but I’m a big fan of yours! Happy to see your channel growing and the video quality is superb! Continued blessings 😊❤
Thanks Jasmin. I have had arguments with friends over the elbow drop issue. Like you, it adds so much more accuracy and action to my stroke. We are in good company because Fedor Gorst drops his elbow as well. I think the first discussions on this issue started when someone was taking a video of Ronnie O'Sullivan when he was facing the camera. After his stroke his elbow disappeared. What was that??? Watching him from different angles confirmed that he drops his elbow.
Thank you Jasmine for your excellent instruction of billiards. Everything I look at your videos I learn something new... even though I played over 51 years.
U helped me a lot. Believe it or not your Updated Stance video opened my mind. I wasn't able to follow through cause my grip stacked in my chest. And now an excellent video about follow through. Thak you very much ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jasmine for confirming what works for me as well. I have one issue though you might comment on for me. I can't draw the ball very well because when the elbow drops, the tip goes up, so I'm not hitting the cue ball as low as I should.
Thank you. This is going to help. Whenever I remember to follow through my shots seem to work rather well but for some weird reason I often forget to follow through. lol, It's all about the focus. I'm 71 and just learning (after trying to learn for many years but being harassed at the tables for being female the focus never developed). It is awesome to getting feedback from a woman, thank you. This game so good for the upper back and shoulders and for the practice of focussing. I used to do so much in the way of multi-tasking when I was a working mom. Sheesh, lol. I recommend this sport to stay active both physically and mentally. Just a thought but dropping the elbow might be helpful to keep breasts out of the way? I'll be looking into that.
Great Video Jasmin, but i have a question for you. In some shots do you squeeze de grio of the cue? for example in a big draw shot, or you keep you grip lose all the time and let the elbow drop do the work?
Good instructional video as always. But you know what impressed me the most? Jasmin's excellent ball throwing technique! She doesn't throw like a girl!
Being a fairly advanced player, everything she said was correct. Although I learned nothing new, I was mesmerized by every word. Could it be I enjoy some remedial reminders from time to time? .... or could it be something else.... 😉😊
Thank you for your great playing and lessons! Dropping the elbow seems to work for you on follow through. How do prevent lifting the cue tip when doing so?
Earned a sub... a MAJOR point you should have covered is Cue length... It is hard for taller people to have a longer follow-through. In my experience, a cue length should be GENERALLY between your chin and lower lip.
Great video! Thank you for sharing that tip. I noticed your cue, is that a Lucasi with a graphite shaft? I'm thinking of getting one for my cue and wondering how you like yours?
Thanks Jasmine for this video , this topic is really something that I need to work on it and you explained it in a very easy way to understand an apply in practice . very well done !!
Hi 2 questions: What do you think during the course of the stroke, at what point should the tip of the cue come in contact with the ball? In other words at what section of the the overall stroke where in that stroke should you make contact with the ball. And other question. Can you talk about the mechanics of your eye movement and where your focus should be and when. ty
Jasmine drop her elbow after contact with cueball, the players that drop the elbow before contact involve the shoulder on the shot. Are two different things.
Thank you for the sound advice and promoting our sport. Since i started watching you and your brother, I really appreciate your professional and athletic take on billiards.
I like that she says that everyone has their own way. A lot of instructors don't respect that. As a right handed person, one might be inclined to say always use your right hand, it just works better. But people are different.
I'm right handed but play pool left handed and im left eye dominant. so i had to find my own way
Yup! We're all built differently and our brains don't all think the same way or at the same speed, which is exactly why her stating that is so great.
Not just using different hands, as I am a lefty but can shoot most shots just as well with my right (Like Ronnie O' Sullivan), but just stance in general. Nobody sees or thinks the same, so whatever makes sense to you use it.

You have helped me get better ,more in the realm of motovation and precision .thank you
The follow through also helped me visualize pushing the cue ball instead of hitting it.

Jasmine has been forcing her technique on me for years, if I don't do it like her, I'm not good, shes such a meanie 😂❤
thank you, made a huge positive difference in pocketing balls and surprisingly in banking also
Your videos are spot on. Kudos to you for all the extra work you do to help others like me. Thanks
Wow Her mechanics are absolutely amazing
Thanks a million. your instruction is so clear. Hopefully to have more videos like this in the future.
Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge that you’ve acquired throughout the years with us. It’s really appreciated
I have to work on my follow through. Thanks Jasmin!
Hey Jasmin, I like the way you communicate. Really enjoy the different examples of the point your making.
Thanks for affirming, different strokes for different folks.
My personal thoughts/ observations is that follow through can help in several ways: if you stop the strokr at contact, it adds risk of unwanted muscle movement that is not focused on the direction of your shot, meaning you are more likely to miss or hit it with a speed you didn't intend.

Being a fairly advanced player, everything she said was correct. Although I learned nothing new, I was mesmerized by every word. Could it be I enjoy some remedial reminders from time to time? .... or could it be something else.... 😉😊
I love this women she is so awesome... Love watching her play. So focused and relaxed
Finding the correct stance, keeping a consistent stroke is key.
Thank you for your great playing and lessons! Dropping the elbow seems to work for you on follow through. How do prevent lifting the cue tip when doing so?
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Earned a sub... a MAJOR point you should have covered is Cue length... It is hard for taller people to have a longer follow-through. In my experience, a cue length should be GENERALLY between your chin and lower lip.
Terimakasih Jasmin telah berbagi ilmu dengan kami,pengetahuan kamu sangat berguna untuk saya yang masih banyak belajar🙏
Great stuff. Fun and informative!
The lesson i was looking for 👍 good one!! Thanks!! M your subscriber now❤
Sehr sehr sympathisch wie du das machst 👌mit deinen Videos
Great video! Thank you for sharing that tip. I noticed your cue, is that a Lucasi with a graphite shaft? I'm thinking of getting one for my cue and wondering how you like yours?
I will say bridge length is a tool for speed control so shorting a bridge length can counter act speed needed or vs versa
Thanks Jasmine for this video , this topic is really something that I need to work on it and you explained it in a very easy way to understand an apply in practice . very well done !!
Hey Jasmine, love the content but I have a question do you look at the CB last or the OB
Hi 2 questions: What do you think during the course of the stroke, at what point should the tip of the cue come in contact with the ball? In other words at what section of the the overall stroke where in that stroke should you make contact with the ball. And other question. Can you talk about the mechanics of your eye movement and where your focus should be and when. ty
Such a good video, thanks!
Jasmine drop her elbow after contact with cueball, the players that drop the elbow before contact involve the shoulder on the shot. Are two different things.
Love your videos 🔥thanks
thank you super video
Thank you for the sound advice and promoting our sport. Since i started watching you and your brother, I really appreciate your professional and athletic take on billiards.
