I think humans should have talent transfer you know like files transfer When people have talents you don't You can transfer it to urself In my 'planet' pluto we do that
Lol! I don’t think I could have figured this out had she not pointed to her watch a couple times!! Lol. This “aiming” technique is useless ones ya start spinning the cue ball. As the cue ball transfers spin to the object ball when they hit. Nothing replaces 10,000 hours of practice. Im not quite there. But close to 5,000 hours so far. So who am I? Im only half way to be a pro. Lol.
Doesn't matter. Pretty simple, as often as you can, go to a pool hall/bar. You tube pool drills and try them out. Pick one that seems okay to handle, and go for it for as long as you can. If you're headed to a pool hall with friends, go earlier (30min - Not too long so to drain yourself out) and try a few drills. Focus on one set of drills until you can master it continuously, then look for harder drills. Take your time, and most importantly, be confident of your shot. If you're not confident, wake up off the table and evaluate again
1 advice for the cue ball control (optional not all pool felt's are similar), use the diamond of the table to know the distance travel by the cue ball with low top/back spin, mid top/back spin and high top/back spin.
That first top is sooo helpful!!! i watched this video last week and i just used the tip onn my friend a game like an hour ago and it worked for sooo many shots i would normally miss! Thanks sooooo much.
Thank you for the information and sharing your skills, I have been struggling with my aiming for a long time, I have watched a lot of RU-vid to find what has been going wrong, but none helped me until I found your channel, not only do you explain the logic but you show it in a way that helps me to understand, I now have a much better idea of what is going wrong and why.
A suggestion to help you get better, with consistency, would be to find drills and practice those drills till you get them right every time. not sure if Venom has posted any drill videos, sure he will soon, if not, look around you tube. Just look for the set up of the drills and factor Venoms methods into getting the balls in. Another simple way (for me) is I've learnt to draw an imaginary line from cue ball to object to pocket. (Through using a similar method as shown in this video) Now the line comes almost naturally for me, when i look at my shot. One last thing, don't try to learn from too many people. If Venom is doing justice to your game, keep his tactics. Watching videos of the same thing, in 10 different ways is going to confuse you and frustrate you
Talk about eyecandy only.... IMO it's better if Kohler explain stuffs, maybe give an example or two, then have the woman do/repeat it, while Kohler keep giving instructions. That would make: - her existence not limited as an eyecandy only - the video looks more like a coaching clinic, with a tutor and a disciple. That way a lot more viewers would relate - viewers happy and more attracted. Coz who doesn't like to see a pretty woman shooting pool, right? :) But that's just my opinion tho.....
- its probably better to get tips straight from a good player rather than through the lens of a pleb - by her title (a model), she seems to be there exactly for what she intended to be there for just my opinion :D
@Venom Can you teach different style of backspin shots only with straight shot? I've seen some people apply backspin and their ball goes a little bit forward and then come back completely, for some people it comes back as soon as it hits the target ball and some it has a stop where it contacted then comes back. I am an amateur and I have only these 3 cases in my mind. I could find anything on youtube about this topic...
Hey Florian, big fan. I believe you have a slight mistake in your demonstration of "throw" at 6:55. You do, of course, describe SIT (spin-induced throw) perfectly, but when you actually perform the shot, the reason you miss is because of squirt, not throw. If throw had been a factor and not squirt, imparting your left-hand English on the ball would have resulted in the ball missing to the right, not the left. If you watch the shot frame by frame, you can see that your aim is true, but the cueball squirts to your right about a quarter inch, causing the object ball to miss the pocket to the left. In the "corrected" shot this happens too, but because you aimed more to the right, the object ball goes in, cheating the pocket on the left.
This is what's actually bothering me. Right spin should induces the object ball to the left and vice versa, hope he gives some kind of explanation or corrects it.
Question.At about 5:20, you just hit with left spin then right spin. At left spin, hitting at 9 o'clock, the cue ball spins to the right, BUT your cue ball was spinning to the left!! (How I see it on my phone n tv! Then when you hit with right spin, shouldn't it spin toward the left? Yet, yours spins the opposite way!! Are you adding a downward stroke? Please explain. Thanks in advance.
do you have the same sight on the ghost ball when the balls are long distance to each other ? same for the english side I feel like aiming is changing according the distance its like we are hitting to thick the ghost ball at a certain point, I also notice the aiming system of ghost ball could change when the cueball sticks to the rail; what do you think about it ?
The "Ghost Ball" technique is fine when practicing but during a match you are not going to be able to stick a ball in front of the ball you are hitting to line up a shot. So that's why I find what I call the cue technique better for learning where to aim. Just like he was lining up the ghost ball, he would put his cue stick in the pocket he was aiming at, then you create an imaginary line back to your object ball. Or try this, with your cue in hand, point your cue at the spot on your object ball right where you would have to hit that ball to get it to go into the pocket. Now go back to your cue ball (white ball)and aim it at that point on your object ball. The nice thing about using your stick to line up a shot is that you can do it as many times as you need to to line up your shot and it doesn't interfere with your gameplay. It's a much easier way to aim and become a consistent shot maker. I have always taught my students this way and they tell me it was the best and fastest way to get better at shot making. There is something very important that Venom teaches you in this video that may people don't pay attention to and that's spin. Many people will accidentally put spin on the ball when making a shot. As you could see in the video, spin will throw off your shot, especially when your not trying to use spin on the ball. I've seen many people miss shots due to putting accidental spin on the cue. So if you learn nothing else watch the kind of contact you make with the cue ball when making a shot.nn
I have a question. I can draw a tables length. However I have to do it with a lot of power I feel. You do it so easily and smooth. How can I turn into doing it like so?
There are various factors involving this, I'm still a novice, someone could correct me if I'm wrong. But one of the key factors is the table. The age, usage, type of felt could make a difference. Another is, your cueing action. Dependent on the distance, the further away it is, more power you put, but you follow through the cue till it touches the table. (not too deep into the table so to damage to felt, but just enough so the stroke naturally dies off, instead of you force stopping the cue) the closer the object ball is, the less room you have to stroke, thus you pull the cue back instead. Your cueing action makes a massive difference in my opinion (through personal experience). Professionals make far draws look so easy simply because of their cueing action. It doesn't change the fact that they do put enough power into the shot
Where the cue hits the cue ball, is the obvious reason to compensate (7:40), it will simply push the ball to the opposite side. I'll guess the contact spin is below 3% of the reason. The surface contains nearly no friction, so no energi is transported.
ok know i might know why i might be missing few shots to much side spin , i try more inside and hope i got my rythem right as a handicapped 4 player again not like a 3
in any given distance at the table the stop shot can be made in different speeds like soft, medium and hard hit, the harder you hit the stop shot the higher you aim at the cueball and vice versa you aim lower when you do soft stop shot. at the object ball contact you are trying to control the moment the backspin ends and before the forward rolling starts, the cue ball is basically not spinning in any direction for that short moment when it hits object ball. it is very important to learn how to make the stop shots with any type speed because of stun shots (basically a stop shot with angle) and when you try to cheat pockets with slow shot. When you make stun shot you are trying to keep the cueball in perpendicular line from the line of the object ball and contact point/pocket ie 90degrees, some say it is the most important shot to master in pool, with different ratios of speed and spin you can control the distance the cue ball travels in that tangent line
I saw Florian at an exhibition and he is a very funny guy and has mad skills that you have to see to believe, I have been playing 9 ball since I was 8 years old and I am 44 now! And he makes me look like an amateur but he is a very cool guy and very entertaining and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for something different for an the entertainment that will be enjoyed by everyone
Venom Trickshots big fan of your work my friend. You have opened the trick shot game to a much wider audience with a massive following, I think it is the amazing and varied range of ways that you have made it possible to reach a different audience than conventional ways, especially in respect to your absolutely genius link to dude perfect when you have an audience as huge as theirs, you are smart enough to use it to make the sport available to people who don't even know it exists. Keep the videos coming and big respect from your army of fans in the UK
