Niels is racking up the points! Another of his vids I've watched at least 10 times. I've practiced all these shots intensively. Before this year, I couldn't pocket a shot on the long rail, come off the short rail and get position. Now I do it easily. It's all in the stroke.
New rule: I have to give Mr. Feijin $10 every time I watch one of his vids more than a few times. Prolly watched this a half dozen times. I don't "love" his videos on drills - they are hard! But damn, they have taught me more than anyone else's.
Great video overall. I always train players to have a plan and always let the plan evolve, as younger players it's harder to execute plans as made, be ok changing them.
Come on Niels. BIG question for you here. You mentioned that you look at the object ball last. At some point do you not think that you begin to just see it all, I mean, everything. Like you see the cue, the cue ball, the object ball, the shot line, the path of the shot, the resulting position, don't you just see it all at once? As if you were walking, you don't look at your foot and the, your target location for it, think a little extra length to miss that water puddle, doesn't it just all happen? When mentally/consciously training you may think look at the object ball last? Is that really what you do?
From someone who is so precise in all your training both physical and mental, I'm shocked. Shocked that you wrote off all aiming systems and recommend just using your feel. Then say that ghost ball is what you use, but not really consider it an aiming system? Hamb in it self is a system, ghost ball a system, all with predefined methods of learning. I think a little more effort is due in the evolution of ones skills regarding identifying the appropriate place to strike one sphere in a way that, that sphere will make contact with another sphere and the resulting contact is a predictable path for the second and first sphere to travel. There are a tun of methods, ghost being a natural method most beginners can grasp, it certainly is not the only or best for every individual.
One of the best episodes I've seen here with u Niels 👌 Great program with great helping stuff. 👍 I'm gonna have a surgery in my shoulder soon, but I'll be back😅
This is one of the *_BEST_* videos as it applies to everyone, regardless where you are in your journey 5:55 This is the gold. Shot selection should be based on *YOUR* skill level. 👌
Hi Niels. I spent years playing tournaments as a 'C' player. They tried to raise me up to B level but I just wasn't good enough to compete as a B and they set me back to 'C'. (we didn't have the FPA ranking system in use now that I know of) I'm thinking now that had I known about the concept of shooting 'into the line of position' instead of 'across the line of position' it would have made the difference to moving up to a higher level. I would end up with far too many difficult shots because I got the position wrong. I just discovered your videos and only watched a few so far but I found this one to be the most valuable yet. Thanks Niels! Subscribed
Shoulder, elbow, wrist, all in line in a perfect gravity drop. Now all this has to fit in line with the eyeline...so whichever stance gives the best results for keeping that alignment relationship. 9:00 By the way you professional pool players should petition the pool association to make tables that are snooker height. There are so many male AND female players that have to play out of squat stances because of the low table height. After 50 games it's got to be a killer on the legs.
I can't for the lofe of me manage to get the cue ball to "slide over" on shot four. Im hiting the cue ball where directed. Thanks so much for sharing all of this amazing knowledge! Love your channel
Thanks so much Mr Niels for all yours tips so good My faborite sport is pool an u are one of My favorites players ur a wounderful teacher👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺thanks so much
Thank you for another great video, Neils! Pre-shot is definitely on my least to improve since I feel like it's a bit erratic at times. Always enjoy your content, man!
Niels you dont miss when it comes to high quality content! Powerful powerful stuff! I have coming out in a few days that breaks down a coin shot three rail safety you were teaching and i figured out how to prefectly execute this shot anywhere on the pool table! I hope understand snd realize how valuable ypu ate to the pool world near and far
I've done most of Niels' drills, but this one gives me the most trouble. I can make every shot he shows, and a few more that come up a lot, but I usually get out of line after six balls. My advice to anyone struggling is keep doing it. Five minutes a day. Speed control and a consistent stroke - same backswing and speed - are key. Most important, play around with your tip position. When Niels shows the tip position, it's not clear if he is one or two tips below center. You may need to position the tip a little higher or lower, or a little more or a little less outside. Do the Terrific Three and Skillful Square drills in tandem. Both utilize the Yo-You shot so you get more practice on them, but you also have other options.
Question:. On shot 2 you used what I think is 7 o'clock. You described it as low with a.little left. It flatened out the cue ball and the the spin helped.it hit your target Fast forward to shot 4, you described it as and used 7 o'clock however the cue ball went a steeper angle towards the middle diamond and then headed towards your target. Shots 2 and 4, what are the differences on your tip placement. The on screen graphic of the cue ball and tip placement seemed identical when watching three ttwo shots. Thanks Niels, just asking for knowledge and hoping you will help. This drill is great
What a threat wow!! Thanks for sharing your trainning with Alex!! I love how he's pushing you to overcome your mental limits with all the positive comments... what a great moment... Good workout💪😍
Fantastic video Neils. It’s great to listen to your reasoning on each play and how you work through each problem in turn. I’ve been playing more and more straight pool over the past few months and it’s really helped with my 8-ball game in turn. Would love to see more of your straight pool vids in the future also
Hi Niels, I have heard people talking about backhand or fronthand english. Which would you advocate? May be interesting to do a vid on aiming with english / sidespin. Love watching your vids, cheers! 😊
Thanks, you are by far the best instructor on RU-vid. I've been playing 55 plus years and I always learn something new from you! You're a real straight shooter in every sense of the term! Peace and cheers.
Hey Neil’s question on staying down. As you’re hitting the object ball, do you keep your eyes on the point of contact or do you shift your eyes to watch the direction the object ball is sent.
Was really looking forward to Niel’s next vid. Exactly what I’ve been practicing. My routine has been inconsistent and my stroke needed a makeover. I’ve been watching all Niels’ stroke and basics vids. Biggest problem was a lack of a smooth backswing, a pause and then follow thru. I was too jabby and punchy. What’s also really helped is doing Niels’ ‘Terrific Three,’ Yo-Yo, and Skillful Square drills. Driving me nuts, they are, but they are helping me put it all together.
