Do You Play Position Like a Pro? | Advanced Principles 

I've been a subscriber for a little while now, and I've seen my performance improve dramatically. But not being able to shoot for the past few months has me worried that the progress I've made is going to degrade, so I feel ya.

I know. Im stuck at home watchi g old Efren videos

Yeah, I was thinking about driving up to Wyoming cuz I heard there's some bars open up there. But instead I've just been watching Efren videos. And Sharivari of course. I'm anxious to get back to the table. I found in the past that watching these pool videos, , that my game improves quite a bit. I think sharvari makes the best instructional videos out there!

Today broooooo, this is killing me LOL

I've got a 9 footer in my family room 😁 got it for 70 bucks cuz this lady wanted to get rid of it

I chuckled when he said that because I, 100% would have found that side pocket with the cue ball

That's exactly what I thought - and what I probably would have done.

That often happens to me on that shot (I fall a little short coming off the rail at that angle). I started giving myself a little bigger angle when it comes up. The shot really isn't much harder, but you don't have to force the cue ball for control and the right speed. Hope it helps.

For my own experience. This is just my personal preference . On that 7th ball to the 8th....if the cut is more than half THICK, nearly 3/4 or three quarter cut. I prefer the follow shot with a little running spin. And if it is a 1/2 cut or less. I prefer the stun shot. As of the 3rd ball I prefer the natural roll but with a controlled downward slicing cue tip follow through on the vertical axis. Simple tira.

Glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure!

Good suggestion. I had the same idea a couple of days ago. It's a bit more work, because I have to mark every ball position after each shot - but a video like this will definetly come.

Simply put it depends on the game your playing In 9 ball you usually have 3 options, force the cue ball so you can get back on line with your next shot, play a safe, or go an extra rail or two in order to get back to the correct side of your next shot. In 8ball you have the same options as 9ball except you have one additional option of possibly using a different pattern. You might get hooked on your original plan but still have a shot at another ball. Use that one ball you have a shit on to try to get position for you next balls and rework your patter to fit. Honestly i rarely play for perfect leave, however i will try to always play a two fold shot, i try and place the cue ball in an area where i have 2 or 3 shots and (if i miss) my opponent only has maybe one shot if none at all That way i have a higher probability of having a next shot regardless if i make it or not Just something to consider *edit when i say 9ball i essentially am referring to all rotation type games

If you're analyzing three balls ahead with every shot, you should be adjusting your plan as you go. He actually did have a situation in that drill that didn't go as planned: the leave after the 7 ball on the 8. He explained his adjustments.

It depends on where my bridge hand is. Just feeling more comfortable on some cue ball positions, for example when it's close to the rail. But I prefer the open bridge on most of my shots.

Practice shots from those spots over and over, 99 percent of shots that look to be scratch shots can be avoided mainly with left or right spin,then follow or draw,or cue ball speed
