Pool Lesson | You Are Playing This Shot Wrong 

The verbal explanations are excellent. This is the first person I've listen to on Pool lessons that does what I do in my seminars: Explains all the options and whet can goes right as well as wrong with each approach. When coupled with the Diagrams, on the far right, of the three (3) hit positions on the cue ball Sharivari has provided one of the best lesson guides I've seen. Well done!

great video. These shots everyone takes for granted because it is hanging. Thank you and keep these coming!!

As a snooker player I have the accuracy to screw back. But he is right. Always look for the easiest way to play a shot. The less distance the white travels and the less cusions as possible. This increases accuracy and reduces in offs.

Excellent advice! Thanks.

This is excellent stuff that many who try to teach others never seem to talk about. Thanks for posting.

The video is thorough and helpful. Don’t worry about others who don’t have patience. Good job. 👍🏻

Good Video, it's amazing that a HANGER can pose so many problems for the UNKNOWING... If the cue ball is close to the adjacent rail, I like to go 3 rails & watch the Cue Ball die, straight in...

Always very informative. Keep on posting! Alles Gute!

I really enjoyed the video. All excellent points when considering a ball this deep in the pocket! I'm a big fan of rail 1st if the ball is out far enough. Naturally, the location in terms of depth in the pocket is ultimately going to determine how you strike the cue ball in this situation.

Good explanation. These seemingly 'simple' shots are really useful as they get position on the table.

You do a great job of explaining

I've always shot it that way, with one slight adjustment, I usually aim it to hit past the side pocket, which I feel gives me more margin of error on the speed.

Yeah, I am one that's doing the wrong shot, so this lesson really did it for me. Thks.

This shot is my nemesis. Thanks for the tips.

It depends on the traffic. Good video,Thank you.

This guy was playing so good, even when giving a left hand handicap. Imagine how he'd play with his right hand....

Good one! 👍

There are so many of these types of shots that the shot is very easy but I don't know how to hit it to make the shapes that I need so thanks for the video

This is a pretty interesting analysis of shot decisions. I agree that hanging balls are some of the trickiest to play position from. I don't completely agree with your assessment, though - personally I would always prefer the cut with side spin off one rail. I feel like there's more margin for error, both in how thin you cut the ball and how much spin you put.

Gotta say... not a bad video. Thanks Man.

Love your lessons wish l was closer to take lessons

Thanks Sharivari for some great explanations and problem solving videos :) Tangent line is really important than most players think and they don't understand the spin you put on the cue ball depending on speed the cue ball is hit at what point off the tangent line the spin takes effect :) also the weigh of the cue ball verses the object ball is another factor. Players think I am anal when I weight the cue ball against the weight of the object ball which is very important unless you play awhile with both... Also the type of cue ball you use is also a factor just like the cloth and temperature of the room and humidity effects speed and English on the cue ball that is what makes this game interesting and more difficult for new players there is always something to learn... Ever the Master Shane is looking to learn more his game is always evolving :)

Another easy way, hit cushion left of the ball with a little right, then cuts the 3 in and hits cushion on the right side of the 3 and toward the rail above the corner pocket (not short-sided).

The 3 is in the corner pocket to shooter right. Would you do a right cut on a ball in the corner pocket to the shooter's left? I think it would be left cut, correct ?

Another excellent and informative lesson. THANK YOU, I had absolutely intended on working on this precise shot this week. I am going to but now I know the way to approach it. Thanks again. You don't have a Patreon account, only PayPal? I owe you sir.

Super!

Sounds good to me 👍

I don't who he knows but I couldn't think of anyone that would draw that ball. And I'm also surprised the he didn't mention or demonstrate that most players cause now he would of been accurate is saying it that most players play the shot exactly as he mentioned but have too much follow and the CB doesn't even make it past the spot/second diamond. I think that would of been a much more useful lesson on how to play that shit and what mostly happens

Hahahahahahahah I never knew that ty very much for ur info ty u I try it on my next practice

Left/right. Inside /outside. Good video but best to hit the recommended shots a few more times...once into each pocket.

If I play the shot on my table there is always to much top spin so the ball hasn't enough power roll towards the 9-ball

Good play

Rail first with spin all day. Just my preference.

If you hit the ball slightly on the left side, reexamine the tangent line, the tip of cushion could still be a problem.

thank you

it all depends on the pool table. For me a draw shot may get me better position most of the times

Thanks for all the tips. Very helpful

Which cuishon is installed in that table?? Thank you

I shot that shot with right spin but the cue ball was closer to the rail l will try it both was depending on cue ball place that like your lesson wish l was closer so l could take lessons

What software program is that? This is great! I was recently noticing that I'm having trouble with this shot, and here this video pops up.

Hello there it Hard when play On table that are old and the. Cloth is Really. Faded very bad its hard to play on a table Like that ?

What application are you drawing the shot on?

Put this ball all the way in a Diamond 4 1/2" pocket but to one side of a jaw. Then with the cue ball 10 feet away, with an angle that takes the cue ball towards the more open side of a pocket. Finally your cue ball is frozen to the rail.

That end rail needs to be redone....lol

There is no wrong shot in pool. It's just a matter of preference. What if there is 2 balls in front of the object ball, and there is 1 available shot the straight shot? What would you do?

why is this in my recommended list i dont even watch pool

Anyone know what app or programs is used to show the computer generated situation? I would like to buy one to supplement my real play / practice. I'm a new player the whole English, draw thing is confusing. Thanks

emulation app??

I know this is almost a year later but what software is he using ?

the examples are great with no balls on the table, would the principal be the same with balls on the table? I'm a novice

How to improve cue power,sir ?

At 5:52, is the shot made to the right? Or any side?

On a diamond table that’s gonna be hard to do because the pockets are so deep and narrow

Awesome! Really learn something very useful. BWT, what software are you using to draw the shots?

Which application you are using

what pool app is this you are using in your videos?

May I know what software you're using at 0:47? (: would like to try it

Please don't judge us when naming videos. "Do you play this shot right?" is correct. "You play/do/think X wrong" is offensive, yellow press/click bait style, keep your nice channel nice :)

No matter how you play this there is no "correct" way, a corner pocket scratch is always a possibility no matter which way you go. He failed to point out that hitting that shot the way he advised, if you hit that 3 just a touch to thick, that top spin is going to hold you there on that bottom rail. Too thin and you hit the tit and then it's time to pray because you have no idea what the ball will do. An A class player can judge the speed enough to play the rails. I personally like top left and going 3 rails around. The short side doesn't bother me, it's not that short.

That's how anyone I play with would play that shot.

What app are you using in this video?

The tangent line you have drawn is the 90 degree tangent for a straight in shot, but you advise to “cut” the object ball to the right. If you cut the ball to the right (which is correct to keep energy in the cue ball) the tangent line will be 90 degrees to the cut shot, therefore right at the corner of the cushion. You are using a great graphic to teach the concept, but the graphic is incorrect for the shot as it should be played, a cut to the right. A straight in shot, of course, would leave the cue near the object ball with no energy left to use the rail and return down table. I know you already know this part, but the graphic (tangent line) is representative of a straight in contact with the object ball.

5:16...The three ball

🍀🍀💚💚

Sometimes you can't do it this way on a diamond pool table. The ball can sit beyond the tits in the pocket. It can sit so far in the hole you can't come off the rail either. Your just going to haft to hit good is all I'm going to tell you.

Why are you on the 3 to the 9.

no im not

Same shit

Spot on until the end of the video. 3 ball was too far to the right. Even when the tangent line is drawn you can see that it would come to wide. Also, you actually would hit that point if you ended up shooting the shot

Well if u never miss wouldn’t u be a pro?

This coulda been a 3 min vid

Hitting it straight on is a good way to follow it in. Just shoot at the crack, works every time.

il aime pas les tapis lui

Jesus christ how tall are you???

Never heard of you ? are you a former World Champion ? BCA certified instructor?

huge pockets!

You say you are going to show us how to hit it right, half of the video is showing us what we already know (how to hit it wrong)

Nothing like an insulting video title to garner views. Maybe you might want to try an uplifting title.

You talk alot...... Make it more precise please .... Cant watch 7 mins for just 1 shot

His pockets aren't very deep.
