in short: pot to the left pocket = use the left shaft... vice versa outside english = still the same as normal shot inside english = use the opposite side of the shaft from the pocket target 🤔 tbh, the demonstration on english spin is a little confusing. let say object ball and cue ball is in the center (opposite to each other), wanted to pot to the corner left pocket with inside english, do we still use the right side or left side of the shaft? try them both, none of it succeed 🤦♂️
@@ThePrufessa at one point my wife wanted to have a conversation about tie racks. She asked me to hold the dog while she washed his paws. My daughter was opening and closing the front door repeatedly while I was shooting (and dogged) a 9ball. It was as Truman Show of an experience as you’ll get. They all wanted me to lose lmao
Being lower on the cue allows you to see the object ball and cue ball easier in that you do not have a lot of eye movement when switching back and forth between the two which allows the elbow to rise higher
You explain things not only correct, but exponentially better than 99.95% of self anointed “look at me shoot” pool (air quotes) instructor. Had to write out air quotes cuz you already know. 😂 I take instruction very seriously & am told I’m the or one of the better & I usually get their potus vote if they actually take a lesson. Like you, I can exponentially improve anyone’s game, often including pros. Most average or above intelligent kids who’ve never played & can’t hold or deliver a cue are often beating before 120 minutes. I teach them the absolute forward stance given their dominant hand/eye, lock a rock solid bridge, teach them a linear pendulum from the beginning & add simple aiming methods. They immediately start potting balls at will. They often get arrogant & start speeding etc, but this game is a hack & if taught it from someone like you or myself from jump, creates someone with a massively unfair advantage. Every right answer from the last 200 years in an hour isn’t fair. lol I have my students watch you shaft Siming perspective from your head cam. It’s all about filling the symmetrical gaps with your cue & the 3 configurations I have them recognize symmetrically within the rectangle. If people aren’t playing a shockingly, simple, cookie cutter version of this game, they’re doing it wrong. Potting should be no “aiming”. or directional control with a stick. Pushing a cue in a linear method at the proper ball configuration or pocket & potting is a side affect of the correct process. The better I get, the easier the game is. I had to relearn after severe TBI in 2017/2018. Couldn’t run 3 balls & totally different mind/personality etc. I was shown stance, simple aiming methods & I couldn’t miss for 6 weeks. Got cocky & lost it. 😂 Point being: you’ve mastered your craft. Proudly west “Instructor” badge in this amazing pocket billiard game, cuz you do it better than many who claim it as vocation.
I don’t know how widespread this is, but where I am in Norway some tournaments don’t allow breaking from the middle third of the kitchen. Only left or right third of the table.
I’m struggling to understand how you use this with English? Could you explain to me? Sorry it just didn’t compute lol. Also, is this different from SAM other than not breaking the object ball up into fractions ? New player here. Sorry for the questions
Every video I've seen that involves a "pivot", there's no mention of the bridge length. If your hand is 3 inches from the cue ball, the pivot will go to a radically different aiming point than if your hand is 9 inches from the cue ball.
@@chuckcollins7936 a reasonable and normal bridge length is roughly 8”-10”. Being anywhere near that length will work just fine. You’re right, a 1” bridge and a 24” bridge will net different results but the difference between 8-10” is negligible to this system.
I kind of use this system with just 2 variations, 30 degree cuts shots or greater, and 30 degree cut shots or less, plus I just adjust it for certain shots, based on experience. It works great for cut shots into the side pockets, probably because those pockets are a little bigger. On those types of shots, this system has helped me make some crazy cut shots into the side pockets, shooting only 1.5 diamond from the short rail! Thanks for posting this video!
bro hope this is not offensive but funk, YES THATS EXACTLY MY ISSUE AND I BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR EVER, in a nut shell perfect explanation. Off TO THE PUB!!
Love your tips and demonstration!!!! Another techniques on my belt to carry out the game ! Thank you ! May i know of the edge to edge get influenced by the shaft diameters ? And or does bridge length matter ?

these tips were so simple and easy to change about my stroke. I said no way. i tried it out, and i was amazed.! im finally pocketing all the balls ive said "i shuda made that".i thank u so much. i feel i have finally made it through the wall. and now the only thing holding me back will be my creativity on the table. which will be my next objective. thank you so much again!
12:29 what do you think about hitting the 3 ball square in the face and sending it down table or maybe into the 9 and both down table? Leaving the cue ball on the short rail under the stack?
I started doing, The Mighty X, with "Bert"... This Drill will get you in stroke. Be sure to employ your CORRECT feet placement, so your stroke is pointed at the target. Dr Cue helped me with CORRECT feet placement, after that, I was "Dead Eye Charley"... Won a lot of Tournaments... It's good that Cleary brought it back... Focus on being STILL in your stroke & your mind... Learn to see the pocket with your hands..
Thanks for demoing the non traditional break. Occasionally I play on an 8' table, and the traditional break almost always results in a cue ball scratch.
