    Been playing 50 years or more and this was all a good reminder even though I knew it. It's still good to have fundamental reminders now and then. I've been practicing by myself too much and developing a few bad habits.I had to go back to basics ,which is always good to do from time to time. Thanks a lot for these videos Anthony I'm sure it helps my game! Good luck on your pool Channel and everything else you do in life!!

However, i am very glad you actually didn’t start talking about aiming systems. I think it was very important to watch this as a general refresher. I’ve literally forgotten about this.

    I’m an advanced player(not a champion by any stretch). I think ur dead on with your theories. I know this stuff but u articulated it better than I have heard. The best thing a player can do is to position the cue ball to where using the optimal speed will get u to the position to use the optimal speed for the next ball. Obviously u gotta soft hit one once in awhile for position. Great video. Keep passing in the knowledge.

    Format: Pink Panther intro meets slow speaking Southern drawl dude with a crap load of trophies on display. I wanted to pick on what you were going to say...but it's pretty good stuff.
    First idea: slow shots produce larger skid
    My thoughts: Good point, but many pros shoot a good bit harder than what you showed there, SVB definitely being one of them, other examples are Shaw (maybe the best shooter out there currently) and Strickland (used to hold that 'title'), there are many more. Most do not slow roll unless the rock needs to move a small distance (easiest most likely path to position) though, very true.
    It's amazing how much your subconscious (apparently) compensates automatically for all these aspects of of object ball direction.
    Sighting with shaft at top of cue. I actually see exactly the opposite. If you look at many of the Filipino players (Reyes, Busty, etc) you will see they virtually ALWAYS aim with the tip on the table, center ball. Many of them, Reyes included, actually never move the tip to the position they are intending to strike the cue ball, for English or follow/draw (most of the time) until the shot actually occurs. This makes me think they might be using the back hand English approach to aiming.
    I've had more than one high lever playing person tell me not to slow roll balls unless it is very necessary, and that really doesn't happen all that often. Cool to hear some of the reasons. Thanks, I will implement this in practice long enough to get it locked and see if that helps.
    As for the physics (yeah, a damned engineer), it's amazing to me how many different aspects seem to occur at, or be centered around a half ball (30 degree) hit. Some examples are that the cue ball/object ball velocities after impact are equal, throw is maximized (apparently), and many rules of thumb, like the 30 degree cue ball final path, after the usually small tangential starting path for a normally rolling cue ball (can be REALLY important on some shots) occurs at 1/2 ball hit. Obviously you can modify this dramatically with large draw/follow.
    Throw increase for draw...interesting, off the top of my pin head about the only reason I can figure for that might be the induced 'lightening' of the cue ball wrt the cloth. Maybe totally off base. I will have to hit Dr Dave's channel and see if he has an explanation and/or demonstration for this. If you know better feel free to respond, you are not going to hurt my feelings, I'm used to being wrong occasionally, just like everyone else who actually does something mother nature (physics/math) has a serious hand in.
    As for the slow speaking drawl (which I expect might be exaggerated for effect) I'm just joshing. One of the really smart engineers I worked with spoke very much like that, and others to varying degrees.
    One other cut angle variance I might point out is if the cue ball is flying, the cut angle is reduced, fly it much and it becomes almost zero. The cue ball is ALWAYS lifted off the table when shooting, unless your cue is absolutely level, and vertically center ball hit (don't believe it, place a dime a short distance on line beyond the cue ball and shoot, the dime will lay undisturbed, the harder the longer and higher). Small heights have VERY small effect (insignificant really) heights achieved when jumping, still in the air or on a bounce can have VERY large effects, often why you see a professionally hit object ball miss severely undercut when the cue ball is on the line of aim, but in that condition on contact. Yeah, rarely encountered, but yet another example of what you are talking about here, that a given cue ball path aiming line may not result in the object ball going where it 'should'.
    Subscribed.
    Now, if only I could execute at some remote respect to my knowledge. THAT requires many many hours of GOOD practice. I heard a statement from Jeremy Jones on a match I was watching a couple of days ago that seemed to sum it up (he and Encardona are two favorites, and when the pros commentate). He said that an amateur practices until he makes a given shot, a pro practices until he doesn't MISS it. Seems reasonable. He said one of the other major differences is that on every shot they practice, or shoot in a match, they watch carefully how ALL the balls interact given how they struck EACH and EVERY shot, speed, 'spice', distance, etc. Yeah, my hair would be in pain if I did that. I guess you have to be SERIOUSLY committed to the game. SVB apparently breaks and racks, rinse and repeat, for HOURS not infrequently. Probably why he's the best breaker out there (MHO, or at least pro top tier). :-/

    Wonderful advice. Thank you! Earl Strickland has been providing excellent commentary for some matches for the Billiard Network recently. One thing he stresses over and over is that pros tend to put a little spin on most cut shots. It's not always for the cue ball position, but rather to allow spin induced throw to help compensate for collision induced throw. I've started doing that as well and have noticed an improvement in pocketing balls.

    • @poolteacher
      @poolteacher  3 роки тому +5

      Much appreciated! Yes, minimal spin is very important. The less that you use spin then the less deflection you have to deal with. Pro players use a half of a tip here and a half of a tip there. Not over doing the amount they use. Would love to have you in my online class. Call me at 606-669-8401 for a free consultation. Or you can visit poolteacher.com for more information.

      Earl Stickland is a great player, but he suffers from being so great for so long he doesn't know why he's great. This is the reason that Earl would likely not make a good coach, just like most great players of any sport tend to not make good coaches. Earl puts left or right spin on virtually every shot. I'm pretty sure Earl puts spin on the lag shot. IMO, he overspins the ball. Played scotch doubles the other day with a good stick. Dude and I are rolling. I put him square on the 9, 2' to object ball, 2' to corner pocket, in line. I see the dude hitting the cue ball with low left. He ends up miscuing and costing us the game. He says something the effect of, "dammit, bad time for a miscue." I reply with, "why the f------ were you putting low left on that shot?" He gave some ridiculous answer. Point is, a lot of pros have played so many millions of strokes, they don't even know why they're good at something. Do you ever need left or right on a cut shot other than to get position on the next shot? Almost never. There are some shots that require left or right (railed object ball, close to 90 degree angle). But most simple do not. But a pro who has shot that same shot 50,000 thousand times can put whatever spin he wants on it, and it's going to go, so if he started putting left english on a cut shot down the rail at a left angle when he was 17 and he's 30 now, an explanation of the physics involved is not going to get him to change the way he plays. Watching Earl, you get the impression that spin is required for every shot. I've heard him repeatedly say things like, "this guy doesn't like to use spin." Nah Earl, the guy just doesn't need to use spin.

    • @dougoverhoff7568
      @dougoverhoff7568 3 роки тому +2

      Spin can be helpful, not only in gaining position, but in pocketing the object ball, as well. But, the rule of thumb is to not use spin if it's not needed, and only enough to get the job done when it is. Speed of stroke is often far more important both in pocketing balls and for position play, than is any spin one puts on the cue ball,(as was stated so well in this instructional video). The old timers who would give instructions, which were generally few and far between, would nearly always strongly advise learning center ball hits on the cue ball first, and in relying on stroke, speed, and cut angles, before jumping into the use of english on shots.
      The best player on my State championship team was very adept at center ball stroking, and his speed control was fantastic. He pocketed balls with the best of us, but his position play was superb, and better than any of us who used Englisg regularly. I don't hardly remember him using English on very many shots, at all. It definitely had a positive impact on my game from watching Curtis shoot. It showed me that simplifying your game leads to better consistency....which is a must for superior play.

    • @MrJdsenior
      @MrJdsenior 2 роки тому +3

      @@amybrown5241 "the guy just doesn't need to use spin"
      Warning, it's a novel with many twists and turns, but excellent point. If you pattern a table properly, (oh, if only I COULD) you do your best to bring natural angles into play whenever possible, often ending close to, or right down the shot line for a significant final leg of the rock roll to minimize errors in roll length, etc. as was probably discussed here (watched it a long time ago).
      I once saw (or heard, don't remember which) a match where a top level amateur (maybe an A) was picking pattern rotation and placement for one pro who was likely to shoot reasonably evenly with another pro, and the other was picking his own paths and sequences. The pro picking his own rotation (I think it was eight, to maximize the difference over say, nine ball) demolished the amateur directed pro.
      That demonstrates to me the absolute necessity and magnitude of doing it right. On some tables there can obviously be different 'right' patterns, but one that has a high percentage of finishing. And yes, I understand the complete lack of statistical analysis, or lack thereof, with a data set of one, but all that aside, it likely means a good bit.
      One place I often see high(er) levels of spin employed is kick safing from a well placed safety, one that can be far more easily gotten to in a direction and speed that is likely to produce good results as opposed to bad ones WITH English than without it (EVERYTHING is percentages in pool, to a pro, whether they are consciously considering them, or not). Scott Frost, especially, and especially on one pocket or straight pool events, Jeremy Jones, Mark Wilson, and some other commentators are good about discussing possible outcomes of different choices good/bad aspects to get an idea of what I'm talking about. The levels they think to are WAYYY beyond my pay grade.
      It is an absolute requirement that you (the universal you in every case here) accurately know your REAL percentages on a given shot, and I mean every aspect of the shot, and employ them for decision making to play top tier pool.
      Just for disclosure, if you asked do I play top tier pool the answer would be one of THOSE looks or a laugh, and verbally, "no, not remotely". This is all wisdom and knowledge that I have garnered listening to the likes of Scott Frost, Jeremy Jones, Skyler, various pro instructors, some pro channels, Tor Lowery, Dr Dave, Robert Byrne's books, and on and on and ...
      If I spent as much time at the table as I do listening and watching I likely would execute far better, and could put some of this excellent knowledge, and much more, to actual practical use. I used to spend a couple to three hours a day, 5-7 a week, drilling weak aspects and playing usually better players (a necessity) and was getting much better, amateur level (about top 10% in a league with several A players and many Bs, not remotely at the A level, though, more mid to high B/C). I stopped practicing a couple of years back, excepting an hour or three a week, and over about a year and a half dropped to BOTTOM 15% or so.
      One aspect of playing MUCH better players is the time I said, "well, at least I won three of ten (in 8 ball) this time round", and the response was "I was running them in order". I said "asshole", with a grin, and he laughed, but internally it was more like OUCH, and I didn't even NOTICE, well observed, John. Playing far superior players, when you can get them to, is always a severely humbling experience, so thick skin is a must.
      Practice, putting in the time, makes ALL the difference in the world, skills, confidence, awareness, mentally, all of it. Any more, I SUCK at the game. One of these days I will surely get back in trim as I got a 9' Gold Crown I for nothing and have gotten all the parts required, including a new set of Aramith pros, etc.
      It should be one fine table when I finally get it set up (with significantly shimmed pockets, mind you, that MATCH in profile and size, totally unlike the pool hall. I'm a glutton for punishment :-) ). That project is getting very close to the top of the list, there were others like getting a roof starting to drip leak in several places up, and all of those are about done....SOON! I'm thinking about upgrading the table in many respects, such as adding a couple more rail bolts to each rail, maybe adding some steel to the faces behind the cushions, like the top pro snooker tables, heating the bed, etc. All of that will likely make little difference to me, unless I get a LOT better, but as an engineer, who can resist? :-/
      Cheers, if anyone makes it this far.

      Not sure. Mine is a Brunswick Gold Crown 5. I googled it and it seems that they were sold in the 1960s out of the JC Penny Catalog. Saw a few people had them for sale. Looks like a nice table.

    In snooker we have a similar system, depending on the angle shots are played with stun to cancel out the effect of the table not being 100% true and playing against or across the nap of the cloth. The idea being not to give the object ball time to roll off.

    Love the condition of that table. Knowing about cut induced throw (I was taught this concept as "cut-induced") is how I've had an edge against my opponents for a while. Also, I'm not a fan of sticking with one speed. That's just a temporary fix, but it limits your game and repertoire. Being able to change your speed and knowing how to compensate accordingly for the amount of throw induced allows you to have more in your arsenal when it comes to getting position, like times when you have to cut and hit soft to hold for position. It's like drinking soda to quench a thirst. It's there, it's quick, it does the trick, but causes more health problems down the line.

    • @poolteacher
      @poolteacher  3 роки тому +4

      Thanks for watching my videos and for your nice comments about my pool table. Funny how the terminology has changed. For 50 years it was "friction induced throw". Now after a couple of videos from some newer people they have completely changed the terminology. Buddy hall and Danny DiLiberto always referred to it as friction induced throw.
      I agree you have to change the speed at certain times. That's why I said there was the 75 percent rule. All the greats to this day shoot most of their shots at the same speed. Everyone has to change it up every now and then though.

    Anthony, if the objective of this video is to deprived your audience of any understanding of your pool instruction, you have succeeded admirably. The further you stand away from the mic, that is attached to the video camera the more the room echo garbles the sound to the point of unintelligibility.
    You need to use and wear a small wireless lapel mic.
    Which will result in making your instructions audible, understandable, and intelligible.
