I was going to say the same thing I don't care if I got ball in hand shape on the 9 ball I will get right up and regather myself and get back down when I am ready
@@ronthepoolstudent I'm more like a 30 year league student and I find always a good reminder. I sometimes make the mistake of taking the shot even though it's more hope than confidence.
Best advice I ever got for focusing on the object ball instead of the cue ball; think of it like riding a bike, you don’t look down at the pedals to go forward you trust that the pedals will always be there, build that trust in your cue ball
Very valuable tips. I experienced those situations many times and it takes time to master the mental side of the game. When I don't feel the shot, I miss it.
You are always better to take the shot with confidence. You could try and play a safe and get it or not. Other player could come back and make the shot or play safe back on you with even a tougher shot than you had before. NEVER think of safeties or defense as your first option. You will always feel better losing if you gave it your best effort than playing a safe and then giving the other person ball in hand when you dont make a legal hit. I have seen it happen almost all the time that the person that starts the safety, ends up worse than they started. Always go with your first instinct and play with confidence. Back when i use to play, i had the force on my side. Some players will get rattled when they know you play fearless. 💪
This helps me. Especially because I was the worst player at my local place at one time. When I'm down on a shot I think in my mind "they're gonna be talking about me tonight!" *In a good way lol That saying in my head gives me confidence on every shot no matter how hard. Now. It doesn't always turn out positive............ but u have to forget about those shots! *Now I remember when I started using it. I came back to win a Straight Pool match against a good player with some people watching. They actually were talking about me that night lol So I filed it away and started using it and that good positive feeling.
Another gem here, thanks so much for what you do Sharivari...I completely started over with pool after years off and more years than that of bad habits or just poor technique. I was lucky enough to find you when I started my journey back into pool, approaching it like I'd never played the game before. Literally in 2 months I'm 100% more consistent than I ever was with your help and many others who take the time to share their knowledge. Much Love!
Sehr gut erläutert und ich finde mich wieder bei den Fehlern die du beschrieben hast. Erwische mich schon ab und an dabei das ich denke war das jetzt das richtige 😎🤙.
Thank you so much for uploading the content you do. You have helped answer a lot of questions I have had and told me stuff I didn't even know I needed to ask. Love the videos. Keep it up.
Excellent tip at the end to fully commit to the shot. A few hours ago I missed nearly the same rail cut shot on league table and I know it was mentally not committing to making the shot.
Another great video! I definitely know I miss because I concentrate too much on cue ball position or hitting too hard. Absolutely know you must be one of the pool gods at the 6:10 mark. Cheers! Cant wait until you hit 250k subscribers.
I know the reason I miss sometimes is because I don't commit to the shot like I'm supposed to do if u don't commit to the shot one hundred percent you'll usually miss no matter how easy u think the shot is I guess I should have watched the video first before commenting lol because it's on this list great list and video
That first shot in the video is a prime example of my problems. I will make the same shot dozens of times then randomly on a different day I can struggle with the same shot.
Pocket speed is crucial not just for improving shot accuracy but to make sure your hitting the right spot on the cue. I can’t tell you how many beginners and even some intermediate players put inadvertent spin on a cue ball that negatively effects the roll especially if their back hand is not level or they are shooting against the rail.
Love the lesson my man. They've made me such a better player and everyone asks me for advice now and I send them your way. Please do a video on bank shots because their behavior confuse me all the time 🤣. Keep following them dreams and pay it forward!
Always happy to see your channel and I am learning a lot from it. Liked to ask you if you can shed some light on the cue tip shape (dime, nickel ... etc) and how it might affect playing.
Why the running English on the 9 ball? Wouldn't a center ball hit be appropriate considering the lesson on the six ball was making a simple shot with less variables? I understand the physics. I'm guessing running English is more reliable than potential swerve or deflection coming from sliding then rolling with low ball English? Am I over thinking this?
On that rail shot..that's something I don't like about Diamond tables, you can't hit them firm down the rails and pocket the ball, even when hit perfectly. I don't think a perfect shot should be penalized. -especially when trying to move the ball back down table.
6:15 technically if u were trying to miss it and u made it you actually did miss, therefore it makes even more sense, if ur head at that moment you were deciding where to shoot to miss and couldnt commit
Well I play bank the 8 alot and comfortable with banking even in 9-ball I saw a cut back bank using full left on the 8-ball to get to the 9... and the safety u tried to show was just about a dead bank in the other corner these were all on the last set up you showed... some banks to me are easier then running down a rail... I don't know why that is tho cuz everyone says banking is harder then cutting.
When you talk about the mindset in a tournament vs practice, do you mean you should just trust your intuition on things like shot selection and when to try to run out, or just when you're down on the shot?
I disagree with the shot 2, just make the 6, you will always have a shot on the 9 ball, and it’s close to the pocket so will make it even off the rail every time
Your explanation of pocket speed is incomplete. A slow moving ball will bank off the jaw of the pocket and go in. A fast ball can COMPRESS the jaw so much that it rebounds onto the other jaw and rattle.
My number one rule while down on a shot: If I have any doubt in the shot, second guesses, thoughts about missing, or feels wrong, stand up!!
Yep, thats why i take at least one lap around the table looking at all options and reevaluating my 3 or 4 shot plan before every shot
@@Thomas-uk5cp excellent advice Thomas, I’m a first time ever league player. I’m going to embrace this rule from here on out…💪🏻👍🏻

@@johns4476 I have found that I’ll miss when I’m not positive the shot will go. Standing up and restarting the pre-shot routine is a must I now know.

Thank you!! I think hitting the ball too hard is very common, it's hard to forget sometimes how fast pool tables are, and you don't need to force!!!
I also see a lot of ppl hitting it way to soft and slow rolling everything. You still need to stroke the ball, even when hitting soft.
Thanks for these reminders because at times we sometimes we often get into ourselves too much and forget these simple things
Very valuable tips. I experienced those situations many times and it takes time to master the mental side of the game. When I don't feel the shot, I miss it.
The last example is exactly right because that costed me to get into the finals over the weekend in a tournament

Keep teaching us.
Amazing lesson much appreciated. 💙
Amazing stuff. I can definitely relate because I am guilty of some of these mistakes myself😿
Love your content!!
Thanks a lot and it helps me to understand and develop my game
Great stuff always my game improved alot thank you
Great points to remember. Can you please make a video about cue sticks focusing on various tips, chalk amount, stick weight, and length?
very informative, keep up the great videos bless
nice lesson..👍👍👍

Another great video. Would love to see more content focused around the mental game of pool / common mental pitfalls like this video touched on.
"I was trying to miss that ball" 🤣😅😆
Excellent explanation always simple.
Are you talking to me?
😅😅
Super Video as always 👍

Hi mr. I love you, from indonesia
Nice lesson for Friday
Always happy to see your channel and I am learning a lot from it. Liked to ask you if you can shed some light on the cue tip shape (dime, nickel ... etc) and how it might affect playing.
Hello Sharivari.... what tip do you use? Sounds like a hard tip?
KAMUI Brown Medium
Awesome 👌 thank you
Still can't wait to get your playing cue 😏😏😏
Did he announce the winner?

Never make any decisions when down on the shot. No matter how fast or intuitive all decisions should be made before getting ready to play the shot.
How should I "add a left/right spin" after finding the right simple way ? (=manage deflection). That is a very hard task for me.
I personally go down and already have my tip at the right position and the adjustments done. The "calculations" happen while I am standing.
Hey bro u got amy video how to aim with spin and ajust
Just search for "Sharivari How to aim with side spin".
When you think you are expert enough, until you played with The Magician
On the 2nd shot in my opinion I was you have to do is get it off the rill
In our pool table pocket speed doesn't exist.
I love your cue, what is it?
Mezz EC9-CMN2
@@Sharivari nice taste👌🏻
how come I never see any videos which are like the 3 main reasons you miss 'aiming wrong, bad head position, shooting across the ball'
What brand of cue are you using in this lesson?
Mezz EC9-CMN2
First! :D Now to watch haha
Tiene que traducir en español también hermano
I disagree with the shot 2, just make the 6, you will always have a shot on the 9 ball, and it’s close to the pocket so will make it even off the rail every time
But that's what I said?
@@Sharivari I paused the video after the first shot and you missed! I haven’t finished it yet! 😂 I love your vids, they have helped my game 100%!!!
Also please do a video for best break spots and speed for 9 ball!
Make more video master
En español plis 🙏🏻
LOLL, trying to miss.

Lol . Bulok lang sasablay jan hahahah wag kang magtanga tangahan.
There's only one reason I miss my shots. It's cause I suck.
