These look great for speed control. I'm going to practice these tonight!
I so need this channel!
Like a BOSS. I can only hope to play as good as you. Great music lock stock sort of feel
Cheers. Keep practicing, just a few years ago I would never have completed those drills myself.
So many haters on here. I think awesome video, with some great ideas for drills to improve your game. Amateur, novice, or pro. They are just ideas to practice cue ball control. Well done pool school love your videos from aus.
Cheers. I’m not bothered by the odd negative comment, part and parcel of doing anything online these days unfortunately. Like you say they’re drills to help you improve and hopefully they help people. I don’t pretend to be any sort of pro, just a local league player trying to learn and improve like the rest of us.
These drills will improve all areas of your game
Good careful work boss
Nice video
Great videos nice to see clear videos on uk pool. I usually play blackball rules so could you do a video on the skill shot.
PotterLegend32 thank you very much. I’m afraid I play world rules so don’t have much experience will blackball rules.
@@PoolSchool I think a player of your standard should play blackball rules personally I find they favour the more attacking players . World rules I find the frames can become too tactical
@@stevebooth8727 I would like to give it a go but the league where I live is World Rules so that's what everyone plays. I only really play for fun and our local league allows me to play a few competitive matches a week.
Great channel, iv sent alot of your videos to our newer players here in Ireland to help get them up to speed.
I think if you done a short video explaining world rules and why the deliberate foul is allowed it would easily be your biggest viewed video.
Maybe one for world and one for black ball and the comparisons between skill shot/ free ball and delib foul.
Biggest draw back to convincing promising players to take up the proper pool tour is the deliberate foul. As soon as they see it they think something shady is going on and dont want to play. Once they understand why they generally stay for good
Thank you, that's really appreciated, I hope they find them useful.
I know exactly what you mean, first time someone made a deliberate foul against me when I started playing, I was like "surely that's cheating!". I'll certainly think about making a video covering World Rules. Although I'm aware of black ball rules I've never played it so I don't really feel qualified to to do a comparison video.
Stick to the world there better. I find the biggest problem isnt the cheating. You go into a lads small pond. Ya beat him and its an easy crutch. “Ah those rules are crap did ya see that i hung the pocket and he just potted it”
A good explanation of the rules and why a delib is there. And ill get it out for you on the irish pool page get ya great coverage.
Excellent, thank you very much, I'll see what I can do.
Pool School how much for a table like this brand new? And what kind of cloth is on the table, I’m looking to buy a table top of the range
@@turkyish @turkyish My table is a 7ft Supreme Winner and I got it from a place called pooltablesonline. The cloth is a Strachan Superfine which I had to pay a bit extra for as it's not the standard cloth they put on the tables. In total it cost me £1074 (brand new).
Some good drills here . That looks like a supreme winner table and I have to admit the pockets looked very generous I thought you had missed a couple up to the top left pocket on the cross drill . My brother has a supreme table in his house and was beautiful when brought 13 years ago but now the pockets are so tight it's untrue .
Still a good table but if a ball catches the jaw at all it never goes in
Yeah it's a supreme winner, lovely table to play on. Your absolutely right, the pockets are very tight and I'll be honest with you, that cross drill is quite difficult and not one I complete very often. This is was one of the few times I got it on camera and I was very lucky with a few of those pots rattling in the corner.
Brilliant video wher are you from
Fair play bud.Few wiped their feet...but their in.
This looks a good drill. How many takes did it take ?
The cross one is pretty difficult and it took 5 or 6 goes to get it on camera. I did the circle one first take!
1:10, nice. larger pockets and cue ball would have dropped, at least if i played. 😄
What size table is it?
It's a 7 x 4ft British 8 ball table.
@@PoolSchool Thanks..i have a 6 ft table..it's still possible i suppose, just a smaller, easier circle.👍
@@qazzell yeah no reason you can't still do it on a 6ft table. Easier because the shots are shorter but probably harder to keep within the smaller circle so cue ball control will have to be really good.
What cue do you use?
It's a 3/4 joint cue by Taylor Made Cues. Ash shaft and 9mm tip.
Why does my office pool table has rounded jaws like snooker table... Even though its a pool table... I miss alot bcoz of this.. Cushion shots cant be played with speed... It doesn't roll in
It's very likely that it's an English pool table then. American pool tables have sharp angled pockets and English pool tables have more curved rounded pockets. This makes rail shots much harder and they need to be played softer to give the ball a chance of dropping.
@@PoolSchool thanks buddy...
Not bad afew wobbly potts. Id suggest chalking up alot more
Yep it's definitely a bad habit of mine (especially when trying to get something on camera after several attempts!)
@@PoolSchool is it a bird? Is it a plane? ...nah,its Mondays experts ...I didn't hear a miscue...maybe the extra chalking will change the cueball trajectory, thus ensuring less object ball pocket wobble, although I doubt it :D
@@PoolSchool Hi mate,I was wondering about your advice on how to deal with people at the comps that try to put you off? I'm talking about local pub comps, where there's normally no ref watching all the time...no shot clock...no real standard's...opponents grabbing a drink during a game lol. You'll get the same old comments right when your down on your shot... your opponent will try strike up a conversation in the middle of the game...the list goes on forever. I've asked my mates,they say just block it out,an reset...I try the reset thing...stand up from the shot,get back down...then bla bla bla again...Im starting to think that to be able to have a good fair game I'm going to have to play somewhere else where there's pool etiquette an refs? I know all the players that watch this on UA-cam to pick up some hints are already pros..lol..but I'm not,I've done a few master breaks, so I'm not totally useless. I gotta stay mentally in the game I guess.
@@Dave101. It's a tough one and something I face all the time in my pub league. Whether it's players who have had a few too many or one of those guys that just won't shut up! I think when it's someone trying to talk to you when you're taking a shot I would just stand up, let them finish and then get back down to the shot again. If they start talking again then just stand up again. Hopefully they'll get the hint eventually! If not I'm sure someone else watching will get bored of waiting for the game to continue and say something. It's a tough one, but if you can deal with it, it will only make you a better player. If someone is trying to trash talk or generally annoying me during a match I try to tell myself it's because they know you're a better player then them and can't beat you fairly. Use it as a confidence boost and try and stay calm and play your own game.
@@PoolSchool Hi mate,thanks very much for your reply....yes,I've sometimes looked at it like a confidence booster... Their not in the same league etc,an that's why they do what they do. I'm keen to step it up an play somewhere different, I'll have to Google that one,for league comps near me or something haha.
Not sure about that 2nd frame though 🤔
Thought that was Peter ebdon
If it was ebdon the video would never end
I played him a couple of years back..........he's still deciding what colour to take!
Crouded house im upset he didnt do the last yellow first before starting reds
Yes I totally agree...my OCD went mental when I saw that! Lol
And u not a pro player . Man Inam going to play like u do. What a challenge😮
Everyone being super critical and me just watching thinking wish i could pot that consistent ly lol
i', ve been following your videos for quite a while and they've given me alot of insight into the game. I have a kind request. There's some confusion concerning approaching the shot, some say you should stand square-on towards the shot then visualize and step down from there. but some say you should set your lead leg (ie your right leg if you're right handed) on the line of aim and step in as done in snooker.
could you please make a video explaining in detail the process of aiming & stepping down on the shot. Addressing these following questions.
1. Standing behind the shot (do we stand square on or do we lead with one foot on the line of aim)
I've seen some players lean to one side when stepping in is this because of their dominant eye?
2. Feathering (are you looking at cueball, object ball + pocket as you would when standing or are you just looking at the contact point on the objectball?)
I think I've covered most of this in my "Stance" and "where to look" videos. Have a look at those and let me know if you're still not clear on anything and I'll see if I can help further.
@@PoolSchool thank you so much for taking the time to respond and for pointing me in the right direction, i have found the videos you recommended to me useful👍🏾
Do you not like using chalk much? haha
how big are those pockets XD
I think the balls are smaller size then usual, hes also playing with a snooker que i guess
Sorry mate u say pot in the lower half the table that mean the last two bottom pockets in my opinion why pot in the middle you broke your own rule there
It’s just a drill mate. Set whatever rules you like. My definition was the bottom half meaning not the top two pockets. If you want to just use the bottom two and not the middle then by all means give it a go.
Good vid. But needs googley eyes. In fact every movie ever made needs remaking with your googley eyes. imo
Of course much easier when you have buckets for pockets 😂
James Grayson Uk pool tables have the tightest pockets of any of the cue sports so you’re talking nonsense.
Pool School I play English pool several times a week these pockets are ridiculous compared to some I’ve seen some of your pots that jawed and went in were hilarious
James Grayson the table is a supreme winner used on the EPA pool tour, the Supreme pool series and the world eight ball series. It’s also probably the most common pool table in the uk and found in pubs and clubs all over the country, so to suggest the pockets are buckets is rubbish. A few balls certainly rattled and I was lucky they dropped on a few, but I’m only an amateur player trying to share some practice ideas and tips with other beginners, not a professional pool player. If you’d like to send me a video where you complete the cross drill with all balls potted in the heart of the pockets on one of your “so much tighter” tables, I’ll happily post it on the channel!
The guy complaining is probably just playing his shots too hard they bounce out. I do it all the time unintentionally and it's so frustrating to see semi pros like yourself make it look easy. More practise needed for me and him lol
Wtf kind of pool table is that. With curved pocket edges and not regular ones?
It's a British 8 ball table. The British pool table has curved pockets like those on a snooker table, only tighter, where as American pool tables have much bigger angled pockets.
It's called a proper pool table which requires good cueing to pot on
You badly need a coach I'm a snooker player who knocks regular 50 plus breaks and I immediately spotted how bad your technique is you'd be an even better pool player if you did trust me on that
50 plus...is that all? You badly need a coach mate ,you're technique must be all jacked up,you'll have to upload a video so we can see where your going wrong...trust us on that ;)
