Beginner drills - Billiards Explained  

Thanks a lot Jasmin. I tried some of these drills, watched some other of your videos, practiced as much as I can and improved a lot. Finally got runner-up place in a local competition. It's my first medal in pool, really small event but i feel happy.

Dopest video so far. This is the perfect video for my skill set. I feel like I should have paid for this one.

As a beginner, it'd been nice for you to show how you struck the cue ball for the various different English you used.

Great drills! I’ll be trying all of these!

Hi from the USA. I’m enjoying your channel and your sense of humor. Keep it up! It’s a big help to get insight from professional players like yourself.

back in the game after a long spell ...decades ago - so feel like learning many things that were either forgotten or never used ...this is a much appreciated training approach to regaining some of what was lost - thanks

Hi Jasmine! Great video! You could add a white ball icon on the top corner of the screen so you could tag where you hit the cueball or even how strong. Sometimes it would be useful to know, especially for beginners. Cheers!

Outstanding set of drills so i can train to beat the bar bros and eventually take over the world.

One of my favorite players for sure amazing technique 💪🏽

Great presentation of basic drills! A part 2 of more drills you recommend would be appreciated

These are great, thank you for doing this! I would love to know where you are hitting the cue ball in the next video if possible?

Thank you so much for the drills. I've been shooting seriously for almost 2 years and am ready to add some new things to my practices. I've already been doing a few similar to yours that I'll try your way and see if I improve.

One of my favorite saved videos.

Hi Jasmine this video is AWESOME! I’ve been following your channel and it’s been great it’s like having you as a personal tutor / coach I’ve been studying also the one where you explain playing with spin / english. I appreciate your wealth of knowledge it’s great and generous of you to take your time as a professional to post helpful videos for us that are either starting out or returning to the game after decades have passed. I’ve haven’t played for over twenty years and it’s not like riding a bicycle so your videos have been beyond helpful and I’m fan so I love watching you play. STAY AWESOME!

Thank you so much for this video. These do not seem too intimidating as other videos and tips by others.

Wow! Amazing video! Exactly what a beginner needs

Your video really helped me and inspire me to write and illustrate a billiard instructional book. Vielen Dank!!

Not since Ray Martin's 99 Critical Shots have I seen the essential information explained so clearly. An instant classic.

Wow, all continuous action! It’s rare you miss on any forward shots . You should go pro, your talents need recognition!

Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to post great online content. I especially enjoy your drill videos. And also wanted to say your one of my favorite pro players. Have a good day. Also, it would be awesome to see some pro women vs pro men scotch doubles. Maybe the mosconi? Or a similar format. Would be awesome.

I like that you got right to work Amazing video Very educational We be watching many time

Well due to Lockdown I haven't played any Pool or Snooker since December so I will have to practice these beginner shots again and my technique as it has been so long. I hope to compete in tournaments later this year too.

Jasmin is the heartthrob of the pool world, would love to see this channel grow into something huge!

I enjoyed this video 🎊🇯🇲

Well am learning a lot to be honest. thank you.

Lessons here are clear

Love these drills! Thank you!

thats some really good stuff; love the ffwd aswell ;) thx!

You did a great job on this video. I would only add that you should write a little more in your comment section as Dr. Dave does. It would be nice to print these out and bring them to my table. Maybe my memory isn't so good. Thanks again.

You make it looks so easy, not! Great practice. Thanks, Isa

Amazing.

I need to learn how to break. You have one of the smoothest breaks in the game. Please teach me.

Hola jasmín muy buenos tus ejercicios felicitaciones desde Ecuador sudamerica

I LOVE YOUR DRILLS!!!!!

Great drills; you put out quality videos

thanks for this resource, I downloaded this one to keep handy.

So concise and well produced!! Maybe good for the experienced player to revisit these as well??

Hi Just come across your videos and really enjoyed the spin explanation which made some things better to understand. It would be good if you could put a cue ball up in one of the corners showing where you are striking the cue ball when making shots. I have seen this in other tutorials and it really helps me.

Thank you Jasmin 😊

I love the drills one day l will play like u

Is there a way to like the same video multiple times? I wish there was! Thanks for sharing such excellent content, I will be trying all these drills.

Thank you. I can certainly put this to work.

Great tips ty

Thank you for the drills.

Thank you Jasmin

Man awesome video. Time to start these drills as a new player. One thing that would help is having a graphic up on screen showing where you're striking the cue ball, if you're not hitting center. Were they all center ball? Be easy on me I'm a complete newb started playing a few months ago in a league.

really cool, thank you!

Bravo !

🌹👍 it’s really helpful thanks

Thanks so much love it

Thanks a lot Jasmin !!!!!

So helpful

Thank you ill try it

cool 😍

this is perect, thank you so much

Thank you for these!

8:44 Im going to try this drill by alternating sides after each shot.

Top notch Ma'am,,, much obliged for the service, exactly what I was looking for direct to the point no clutter. I'm happy that I found a pool pro with that stance, every time I'm in the hall everybody & his mother annoys me you, about my stance, stating that this stance wont work, that's a snooker, Oh will I love both games.

Wonderful video. Definitely going to help me get better. However, after a few minutes of that background music, I ended up just muting it. So bad 🤣😂🤣😂 Thanks again for sharing stuff like this. There's so many different drills and personal opinions to deal with in the pool world, it's nice to have this clear and effective guidelines you showed us. Cheers :)

gran video. lo practicare

hello I'm from Indonesia.. I really like your billiard game

Awesome video! Thanks you!!!

Great 😘

Awesome! We need more of this please :D

Very nice !

By the way I am a big fan started watching when you first came out on apa tour when your aponents were Allison fisher ,the widow,Kelly fisher gy Yong Kim and other's you really made think twice when the heat was on

Thank you do much.

Very Nice

Nice

Thanks!

Hi great videos is it possible to show where on the cue ball you are hitting??

👍

Totally crushing on you Jasmin. You rock girl!

I hate drills but these looked good and you made them look easy! I have a 7x4 English table at home but my biggest problem with practising is keeping my focus and concentration. Anyone got any tips or ideas to help with that? 👍

I don’t consider myself a beginner until I try your beginner drills. Just what I needed, evidently. By the way. You have a great stroke technique (swimming). My guess is that you do triathlons, or should, if you could fit them in.

This is so helpful.

Hey jasmine could you do a video on how you grip the cue.

Hey Jasmin Are you left eye dominant? Greetings from Swiss 👍❤️

IT would be beneficial if you would have a dot/marker on where the cue ball is struck on your drills.

Are these the PAT 1 exercises? They are very close to them. Simple but extremely effective

Love you!

Nice very nice, ? What tips do you use for your cues

I continue to struggle with rail shots. I can hit the cue ball straight, when by itself, but when I have a straight shot, with an object ball, I nearly always hit the object ball wrong, even though the cue looks straight, the object ball either goes to the left or right and hardly even into the pocket. very rarely it goes near the pocket. it's a strange one and so frustrating. Also, the 6 ball 'positional play' drill, I like the look of that. I tried it. I can';t get the cue ball to hit the top cushion, to bounce off, to get into position for the next ball. My cue ball doesn't bounce of top cushion hard enough to go behind next ball and if if I hit it slightly harder I miss the pot. Stun seems best here, as follow forward or back draw doesn't work for me here.

I just figured out why I like your content, you don't over communicate, you show how it's done with review communication. Nice job, keep it up. Looks like you fell away from youtube. Please return as my journey is long from where I stand

Ur drills are great but it would be better for a beginner if you teach cue action, cue ball control and positional play incorporated in your shots . Alternatively please send a link on cueing action, cue ball control and positional play. Thanks .

Great tutorial 👌 👍 👏 #algorithm lol 👽😷🍕🥃🎱

Hi Jasmin please tell me what time of English you are using with the drill when you set up the balls in an L shape. Thanks. I am new to the game. Great Chanel

And 4 sure the most beautiful player !!!

Thankyou🎱👌

Jasmine is it inside the English you use when playing position for the next ball to go in the same side pocket?

So when I am doing drill 1, I can make the ball each time but when I do a stop shot, it doesnt stop it keeps rolling. The follow shot, doesn't roll straight into the pocket after but typical forward and to the right. The draw shot, is very inconsistent but never straight back. =/ For the between ball shot, to see if my stroke is straight, I i can hit the cue ball and it goes between them and about 60% of the time it comes back to the cue tip, but the other times, it hits the short rail dead on straight but comes back to the right hitting or coming close to the right ball on the foot line. So, to improve, what does that mean =(

Hi @Jasmin. Can you let us know where can we buy one-sleeve t-shirts like the ones you wear during your matches?

I just had my table refelted. not knowing what is what, I dont have the felt that you have. therefore i dont get the same actions on the cue ball. maybe I'm not as skilled as you, but i dont know if I am just not skilled enough to perform the drills, or its the felt.
