LEARN TO JUMP BETTER AT POOL ! 

Props for leaving in the missed shot. A lot of people will go through a long spiel about a shot, get down to take the shot, then there's an edit in the video, and the shot is executed perfectly. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to be fallible.

Found your jump video Karl!! 😁 Great tips. You'll be happy to know that I prefer the dart method. That's what I used when I first started learning. So, yay!

Karl you should go far on RU-vid buddy, this is an excellent channel, love the content.. sorry I used to root against ya in the mosconi cup your actually a swell guy

Loving the instructionals. Thanks. I was just noticing your hair right before you came back on with the hat 😂 cracked me up.

Excellent instructions and great that you emphasized on that dart jump stroke👌👌👌

Super helpful video, Karl. Good tips as usual. Keep up the good work.

POP POP POP ...JUMPING JUMPING JUMPING....Great video...thanks

thanks for a great video! the dart jump was my first successful jump shot... now looking to branch out thanks again!

Very cool and thank u ! A little practice and HA ! I got the cue ball a jumpin’ !

Good video. I like the dart jump. Easy to get the ball in the air but you really need to focus on the aim. I can't even do the other type of jump. Glad to see your recommendation of the dart jump.

Excellent video karl, it would be nice to talk in a video about the new size of the table pockets, the angle of the corners and the drop of the cushions, and how is the new gray cloth going...Thanks for your job.

very good advise. thank you Karl

Great video, Karl! 😊 I need this info. Gonna become a better jumper for sure. Thanx! 😉

Thank you for the Review Karl!, I'm going to order a propel soon but change the tip, and was wondering if you can just use the weighted end only with the shaft for compact dart jumping?.

Great video amigo, thank you. Try to avoid the echo in the audio, by using 'absorbers' in your room or with a micro on you?

This is a great video, Karl. Thanks. I'm going to work on this and will probably be referring back to it numerous times.

Simple, very useful Video. Super Video like always 👍. Greetings from Swiss

You have great content Karl, thank you.

Great tip Karl- gonna practice this because even just watching this I feel it will be more comfortable for me! 🧐🧐🧐

As far as aiming is concerned, when I’m down at table height lining the shot up I like to find the spot on the ball I’m jumping over that’s directly in line with where I want to hit the object ball. Then, when I’m standing up I’m aiming in the direction of that point on the blocking ball rather than at the object ball. I just find it easier having a target that’s closer to the cue ball.

Just wanted to drop a line. Really enjoyed your commentating during the Predator Premiere League this weekk, you and Phil work great together). I look forward to meeting you some day (I'll have some work to do in order to get to that level, but I'll get there). Next time I'm cross the pond... cheers(slainte)

excellent video, learned alot, keep them coming

Could you explain how to do the side stroke? like Shane Van Boening. I usually use a standard elevated stroke but since I’m short I feel the side stroke would be more versatile but difficult to aim.

Karl: Great videos and I like the fact you put Emily's picture in lol. Do you/will you cover the mental game? Sometimes I find it difficult playing away matches in somewhat hostile environments. Plus obviously there's the fact you can't get used to the table like you can "at home". Admittedly I'm talking about UK 8 Ball but I'm sure it would apply a lot to US Pool as well...

Probably the best jumping tutorial I’ve seen on RU-vid.

great vid, gonna practice them dart jumps next time at the hall! any tips for how to practice screwing back off a jump? know guys that can really add any kinda rotation to a jump it's completely off my scope of understanding stuff

Hey Karl thanks for the videos mate .. greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

Another lovely guide, Karl!

love it bro..pleae do a video how a pros aim a shot thanks

Hello, great video about jumping. Im a beginner and I have a regular wooden cue. Do I need to buy a jump cue?

i only hate you a few days out of the year during the Mosconi Cup, sorry, loving your YT channel though! Badass pool table that i've never even heard of too.

you're the man karl love the videos

Thanks for the tips Karl. I have a Rage jump break cue and I can jump enough with its tip, however I changed the tip for a Bulletproof break tip and couldn't jump 🤔 So I went back with the Rage's cue tip. Any idea why? PD. I'm from Colombia and going to London next month. Can you suggest me a pool hall? Thanks again. Having a hard time jumping when the obstacle ball is close, so will try the dart jump

Any chance you'd consider picking up the Go Customs jump cue to do a side by side comparison with the Propel?

Now every time I shoot a jump shot I'm going to hear a high pitched voice saying, "Pop! Pop! Pop!" 😉. Great video! 👌

Hi Karl, can you do a tutorial on how to play jump shots with different spin? For example, I’ve seen Jayson play shots in tournaments where he jumps the cue ball and the cue ball screws back a couple of inches.

I do like the dart technique and love to play darts also. While jumping with the dart technique I do impart some unwanted side spin (left to right) which is most evident on the longer shots. I keep practicing but can't seem to rid myself of the side spin. Any thoughts??

I do ok with the dart but need to work on the other type of jump. I also do well jumping off the rail over a ball

Can you show where on the cue ball to aim for the jump shot? Or, is it the same aim as if you were shooting with follow or draw on a regular shot, but at the 45 degree angle? Do you use a steeper angle on shots over a ball that is close? Thanks for the great videos!!

An underrated benefit of playing one pocket, exclusively (for cash) is I don’t need any stinking jump cues!.. Or break cues for that matter..

That picture of Emily made me laugh so hard!

Thanks Champ guess I've got no excuse now.

Nice tips, Karl. Here in the US, we have to practice both, as some tournament rules don't allow the stick to be higher than the shoulder. Thanks, Karl

Pop, pop, pop! That's when I decided to give you a sub lol

I was looking for a video and a channel like this

Thank you Karl 🙏🏼

I like to watch the object ball while jumping, but that only works if the balls are closer together. For a longer jump shot, do you watch the cue ball only when pulling the trigger?

I can dart jump nearly every time, but for some reason when I do a normal stroke, regardless of distance, I just can't seem to get the cueball up. I know it has to with the way I'm stroking it, because everything else is the same as my dart stroke, but I can't for the love of me figure out what it is.

I am not bad at jumping, but it is definitely my weakness. I don't understand how some can jump and put draw on the cueball. I try that and it acts no different from when I just jump the ball.

180!!! Oh no you didn't! lol... Good vid on jumps which I struggle with. The amount of force, soft or hard & the shape of the tip may help me bc My break tip is rounded for english on my breaks, but on my jump/break cue I think the rounded tip is messing up my jumps. I mostly hit the ball I'm trying to jump over. it's a White Diamond tip. My freind can jump well with my jump cue/ tip, but I don't. Which tip would you recommend to a rookie to jump with that will also be good to break with? BTW.. love your channel, thanks for all of your help

hi karl do you think that carbon fiber gives you an advantage for jumping also would you recommend the cuetec propel

10:56. I can't believe you done this! Are you also a great player of darts? LOL

Good explain , but your forgot to talk about where shod hit the cueball . Its the dart shot legal in tournament ?

Hi Karl, just a quick question as a total pool noob. I saw the video of the whole fiasco where the ref pulled you up for 'measuring'. What exactly is measuring and why is it not allowed?

The league that I play in doesn't allow jump cues (APA in the US). We have to use full length cues. Any added tips?

Do you make sure your tip is chalked?

What I want to see is the outcome of the hill hill match v Holland in the opening sequence

LOL@the hat-hair comment!

Hy, what is the name of the track in the beginning of video?

Ive never played a jump shot in my life,but I had an Aussie mate that could pot better via a jump shot,than a clear shot at a ball lol.

How can I work on my pop....pop,pop?

First

Poolife

I wish I could aim EVERY shot based on a hot girl at the bar

Come on Carl let's be honest it helps using a cue tec propel... That thing makes it so easy to jump at times it feels like cheating lol

Karl, Latin America 661 millions speak spanish. Find the way to traduce your videos Tk.

Jumping was only allowed to be part of pool because it sped up the game, something TV demanded. So now, with pool matches almost never shown on TV but relegated to RU-vid, jumping should once more be outlawed. In my opinion, jumping takes away the benefit of playing a safety and lessens the skill required to compete.

I hope jump shots would get banned, i really don't like getting out of an awesome safety just by jumping... I love the technical execution but it is a shot for tricks not for pool

Why do u keep calling us amateurs? we are but we don't like to hear it :)

Please retire that song. For the love of pool, and all that's in it. That song does not represent it well.
