This video is a "TWO THUMBS UP" to me! This higher height jump shot is what I was desiring to learn how to do! Doctor Dave, create more tutorials about this hard jump shot using the regular grip and dart grip! Kudos to your channel!
@@DrDaveBilliards I forgot to tell you! I WANT YOU TO INCLUDE the jump curve ball, jump draw shot short shot and long shot, jump stop shot, jump follow and jump masse! CHEERS!
It was awesome. We had a great time and filmed lots of good stuff. All the videos we did are on this playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLH9d4KFY28XvjfavLkmw8nIcWOiDH2GYc
Omg im loving this stuff! I'm imagining what it would be like if cue sports got the attention that football hockey etc get in terms of slow mo replay. This is so cool to see! Thanks gentlemen!
I'd love to see a "How To" video about these exceptionally close jumps and massive massé shots. Even though I'm an experienced player and jump fairly well with quite good gear, I'm not able to consistently clear a ball thats closer than 7-8 inches and I don't really know why.
One technique is to let the cue go and catch it. The hit has to be light and accurate. like throwing a dart but in the vertical position. Even with that it's very difficult to get the timing and accuracy right. As for not being able to jump at less that 7" which is about 3 balls distance, that should be solvable by wathcing DR. Dave's video on jumping. I would be willing to help you through video calling if you want.
@@DrDaveBilliards Of course I've watched all your videos several times, since I'm following your work for ages. I even used your book "The Illustrated Principles of Pool and Billiards" as a source for my bachelors thesis ;)... But even with all this theoretical input I'm still struggling when the object ball gets close. There must be something I just cant see or figure out. I'm not able to get height fast enough.
@@Menicoification The keys with higher elevation are: - keep the grip and wrist as relaxed as possible. - use a longer bridge length so you can accelerate over a longer distance and generate more cue speed - aim low enough on the CB so the CB doesn’t get jammed - use a very relaxed throwing motion for the stroke It might also help to watch the videos at the link again.
Dr Dave - this makes me feel a lot better about not being able to jump with my playing cue. Not even the great Florian could! Unfortunately, my APA league doesn't allow jump cues or jumps with break cues. So i feel my efforts are best spent on learning better kicks and angles.
Florian can jump with a playing cue (especially a light one with a hard tip), but I instructed him to try to use the same stroke as with the jump cue so we could see the difference.
I’m so glad you put this together. Now I can show an obnoxious opponent exactly why he isn’t hitting jump shots correctly. He does the ax act same thing as Vernon did to show the scoop. He lines up correctly then he drops his cue on the stroke and scoops. I’ve told him for years I can hear the foul. His inability to beat me just got much worse 🤣
@@DrDaveBilliards Thanks and if you’re ever in or around Columbus Ohio, let’s play. You can judge my break. Howard Vickery, in his twangy voice, used to tell me my break was better than any person he had ever played against and also told me I broke a single rack better than he had ever noted. Dropped 5 on the break in that game of nine… But then lost the game because Howard Vickery just told everyone in the room that was the greatest break he had ever seen. 😂

I saw a poor player do that jacked up miscue jump shot 25 years ago. He thought he was actually jumping the ball correctly but was cueing far behind the ball. I ridiculed him to myself at the time, but I'm ashamed to admit I had to use it a couple times in tournaments when jump cues were not allowed.
I’m glad to hear it. You’re welcome. Now, if you actually want to learn how to do it, see the videos and info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/jump/technique/
I'll bet doing this with Venom was fun. I'm not sure the shot at 4:55 was single contact, in fact I am virtually sure there was second contact. Look at how the ball reacts. It speeds up and gains a little bit of slope while the tip is 'near' the cue ball. It may not look like the tip hits, but the ball trajectory will not lie, and Newton says it can't speed up on its own. :-) Tell me what you think. Putting ball path lines, like you did on that other shot might be helpful. Two parallel lines at the ball tangent point would really add to accuracy. I'd be interested to know. Those jumps over the VERY close nine, out of the surrounding hexagon, and the draw back into the side pocket were NUTS! He is amazing.
Great stuff... would have loved to see the jump / break cue [ which is what i have ] i believe it is heavier than a dedicated jump cue.... not having success jumping with my break / jump cue.... maybe i need to go lighter with a dedicated jump cue..... your thoughts? Vince
Obviously, dedicated jump cues are better for jumping than most break/jump combo cues, especially if using the dart stroke. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/jump/ billiards.colostate.edu/faq/jump/technique/
I was fortunate enough to see Willie Mosconi visit our university pool room for a demonstration. There were quite a few of us into playing 14:1 (early 1970’s). Mosconi used a different type of jump shot on his breaks that I have not seen another player use. Sharivari has thirty second demo of this, but it’s still not enough to see what is really going on before, during, and after the shot. So, what did Willie do that I cannot do? He struck the cue ball in such a fashion that after hitting (and making) the object ball the cue ball jumped into the air into the middle of the rack. The cue ball would come down and spread the rack for another 14:1 clearance. Can you do a slow motion video like this one (which was great by the way)?
I'll add it to my "list." Unfortunately, my "list" is extremely long and keeps getting longer. BTW, I do have similar examples, using the CB hop technique, here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V1czUp9k2Uk.html and here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YRuuPLZKnuY.html Enjoy!
I don't agree that there is only contact once at 5.00 mins. In my view there needs to be contact twice for the cue ball to elevate when struck with a non "jump cue". Now in snooker there is generally harder conditions (smaller balls, smaller pockets, longer distances, longer baize) but the length of the baize tends to nullify these when it comes to jumping the cue ball. In snooker, no special jump cue is needed and I would like for someone to check that out in hi speed, as it probably is always a double hit?
At 5:00, the tip was close to hitting the CB a second time, but I don't think it did. Even if it did, there is certainly not convincing-enough visual evidence to call a foul (even with the super slow motion video).
Regarding the miscue scoop jump shot, the foul isn't the scoop (assuming it was unintentional/accidental), it's the double hit action that creates the jumping action. I don't believe it can jump(hardly at all) without the double hit action that makes the jump action possible. Opinion on this Dr. Dave or anyone else?
The reason they don't have such inflexible standards on certain fouls is because at a professional tournament calling a ball in hand is tantamount to giving the game to the opponent. Nobody wants the ref to decide the outcome of a game, especially the ref.
Although I am quite good with jump shots and I can consistently jump over a ball from one ball distance I never got the hang of popper jump cue. Too much force is required for that thing to jump. I can though jump from one chalk distance (illegally) using just the shaft of my jump cue!
If you do power masse shots a lot with your playing cue, the tip will compress some. And if your cue is not mechanically sound, there could be damage over time.
You don't need a camera for jumps, just like we don't need a camera for miscues and normal double hits. We were really pushing the limit of foul technicalities in this video. Although, a jump cue and good technique do help a lot. See: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/jump/ billiards.colostate.edu/faq/jump/technique/ The jump shot is an important weapon in modern pool, and every serious player should master the technique.
… with jump shots, yes (especially highly elevated jump shots). A foul is called only when there is clear visual evidence. However, most fouls for most types of shots are very easy to call. For lots of examples see the videos and category links here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/foul/
Motherf*cker, all this time i thought i was doing something wrong because i remember seeing a video saying that jumping the cueball with a playing cue was possible.
Jumping with a playing cue is possible (especially a light cue with a hard tip), but it is much easier with a jump cue. For technique help, see the videos and info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/jump/technique/
@@kurtkensson2059 Agreed. There is always room for improvement. For example, the VNEA just voted to get rid of the antiquated 45-degree push-shot rule per this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HVXOBUAsPSc.html
