Probably the best explanation of any concept ever - not just pool. You’re a natural teacher

@mickthemachinehill 9 месяцев назад

Thank you.

@trojanmissile933 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for these videos; well thought out and very helpful for an amateur like me ( I generally have problems on the delicate positional shots-which invariably leads to a missed finish- as in the red balls) I like your humility and sharing of experience , coming from someone who has nothing to prove in the game /

@mickthemachinehill 11 месяцев назад

@Dannyjones1 11 месяцев назад

An excellent video described brilliantly along the way. Also, very interesting that you mention playing high on the ball and feel like you wanted to be low instead. I definitely can relate to that. I feel its because you're almost guaranteeing a shot on your next ball than come up short.

@ryanholmes39 5 месяцев назад

After your first shot, you spoke a lot about bad habits and trying to get low. You mentioned the way you sight the ball and prefer obviously to play the shot that way, a massive part of the game is confidence and i personally believe playing to your own strengths is key. You're the best English 8 ball pool player of all time, without question. Playing that way and your stubborness is what makes you great. Your insight is amazing, I love your videos and use them as inspiration whenever I need it. Thank you, long may they continue 🙏

@leemi4328 11 месяцев назад

I also think the walk around is pretty important. I often play a shot thinking it's perfect and when I get to the other side I find my that my line is off

@markfabbro 11 месяцев назад

@dnbmania 11 месяцев назад

Cheers Mick. Do you have a mental though process that you go through when there's multiple clusters and when to either go game, clear 1/2 areas then snooker or just defend straight away. On the leagues that I play in there's varying quality tables and some break really badly leaving lots of poor areas so this would be useful for the average Joe to know

@mickthemachinehill 11 месяцев назад

We have some videos on this coming up. But there is a lot of variables so we won't be able to cover everything in a few videos.

@Public_Enemy_1 11 месяцев назад

Perhaps playing the loop bridge on the first shot you just got hold of it too much,although i know you said its a habit it's easy to get more grip on it,i was half thinking you were going to fall into the black sheeting at one point...a nice video for people learning the game Mick..

@salsabil44 4 месяца назад

It´s probably the main reason why I prefer 9-ball, because I don´t need to try to look for the best pattern from the hundreds of possibilities.

@paulkerry69 11 месяцев назад

I can relate to your mention of low black at snooker. Still got the same problem. How much is your coaching mick might book you for a Christmas present for my dad he likes his pool

Please enquire on the facebook page.

@sharonneocleous7902 11 месяцев назад

So the key to making consistent outs is working out your shots from the 8 ball to your first ball (work out your out backwards) Where as the average player only looks 2 or 3 shots ahead...15 sec shot clock would make this tough though?, even for the best players

@darktherapy 11 месяцев назад

It’s not always the case but yes. A lot of the time there’s problem balls that need extra care, like cannons to separate them from opponents balls. These can go wrong and force a reroute.

@DavidAllewell 11 месяцев назад

Is there any reason you're using Triangle instead of Taom chalk at your level, Mick? I feel like most players at the highest level, snooker and pool, are using Taom or something similar and have moved on to the newest "technology" in the chalk world. You and Ronnie seem like the notable exceptions!

@user-lc5tl1bb6d 11 месяцев назад

Doesn’t it depend mostly on the table conditions however

@user-lc5tl1bb6d 11 месяцев назад

Like I know I’m not a pro but from an experienced level I can say that even a half inch of cueball movement can prevent a clearance

@user-lc5tl1bb6d 11 месяцев назад

I play county and missed a 4/4 opportunity just because I moved the cue ball of 2 rails and half an inch more I would’ve cleared

@do_notknow_much 11 месяцев назад

With a round full of warm up shots, world class players will have mostly figured out table conditions. Knowing with certain shots, maybe hit a bit harder or bit softer to make up for table conditions. ...Some positional play needs to be fairly exact. But most of the time, it is about having the cue ball on the correct side of an object ball, so your angle is naturally working towards your next object ball. ...What you are talking about happens in snooker, various pool games around the world. It's called getting the rolls. Sometimes a ball rolls a couple inches in your favor, sometimes it rolls a couple of inches out of your favor. ...A legend like Efren Reyes didn't worry about it too much. And developed the nickname 'The Magician' for pulling magical shots off to make up for rolls that didn't go his way.
