We are blessed. Never seen a Pro teaching, and still presently competing. We'll buy dinner when Niels visits Florida.

That's easily 100 bucks saved on a private lesson with a coach. Terrific drill.

Well-thought concept behind the exercise and clear example shot series. Ready to study and use it. Another great work, Niels!

Started working on this drill today. This part of the game has given me troubles over the years but with this drill you quickly learn what shot to use. Just practice the drill and these situations become a lot easier. I am surprised how much this drill helped me improve in just a few hours. Neil's is like treasure chest of information. These videos are so well explained.

Thanks Niels for all the entertaining high level play over many years, but most of all thanks for being a class act!

I learn so much from you Niels. You have helped my understanding of the game tremendously. Thank you very much.

Thank you Niels for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks Neils for this video. This is just the drill I am needing to work on my angles and cue positioning drill. Love all your tips. Can’t wait to see you later this year at the US Open hopefully I will get a chance to meet you in person. Thank you for everything you are doing for the game and helping us amateurs improve in the game we all love!!!

Love the sign .."You can watch it happen or make it happen" youre an inspiration..keep up the good work

Good old Burt. I still have the videos. Even ones with you in them

I bought all of Burt Kinister VHS tapes back in the 90's. This is the beginning part of the 6 and 9 pointed star. Fabulous drills. Made my game way better. Thanks for showing this. :)

Friend told me about this channel. First time watching. I will be watching more. Thanks for the lesson

Holy cow, man, you just keep bringing it. I hope I get a chance to meet you someday to thank you in person. THANK YOU. I will definitely be adding this drill the rotation. THANK YOU!

Always awesome content! Nice acknowledgement of Bert Kinister too. I remember as a younger pool player renting Kinister's VHS tapes from the Hawaiian Brians pro shop here in Hawaii and watching him instruct a young up and coming blond dude go through some drills LOL! Great memories, and timeless drills that will always produce results. Whenever younger players ask me who to look up on RU-vid for instruction, you're always at the top of my list. Knowledgeable and a great instructor; great job and congrats on your Hall Of Fame induction!

Niels, thanks for sharing this drill. I practiced it last week, and won a local 8ball doubles tournament a couple of days later. Two games were won on tight 8ball rail shots.

I absolutely love your drills and videos. Cannot express how much they have helped me improve my game.

Gotta love the power of spin (english) to move the cue-ball. This is a good drill for my buds but they are busy people and don't have the time to practice. I will show them some of these shots and the overall drill and see what they think. Thanks Niels, The Terminator and you certainly are that. Other than The Killer and you know who I'm talking about, yours is the best avatar.

Niels you are the man! I always liked watching you play but after you started making these videos you quickly became my favorite pro! Congrats on the Hall of Fame! I really loved that video, what a great speech you gave! Best to you and your family! Cheers from northern California!

As simple as this looks, this is great practice for working a table. Burt Kinister was the first videos (VHS) I rented here in Northwest Indiana at our local video store. He lived in Chicago and I met him once. These are some of the toughest drill work I've ever done.

Thank you Terminator for the wonderful explanations.

Thank you very much Neil for sharing that with us.

Thank you so much, Niels! This is a must save video to have in your pool playlist 🎱 ,which is my case ❤ 👏🎉

Thank you Niel for these great tips

Niels, that was FUN! I'm a work in progress 486 and ran a rack of this. I don't normally do a lot of inside spin... this helps a TON. As you would say "it was powerful!" to my inside spin practice. I won't be able to make it to the Rio in Lost Wages in February, but perhaps I'll get a chance to make it to Mosconi. I would really like to meet you and thank you for all of the help your videos have given me. Hopefully, you'll be around as a player, commentator, spectator...

Amazing drill for position and cueball control. I can't wait to work on this and feel the power. Thanks for your dedication and knowledge, Niels 🔥

Thanks Niels! I've always guessed what do do in these situations. After drilling a bit, I'll be able to add some more skills to my arsenal.

Thanks for the video 🎉 I'm adding it to my practice today

Very easy to understand. Great tutorial. Thanks 🙏

Neils is my favorite player in the game today. What a great champion! I was so excited to see him get inducted into the hall of fame. Drives me crazy when he mentions Burt Kinnister. I played Burt 30 years ago at The Port in Portage Indiana. As I recall. He was quite an egotistical and arrogant guy. You know when they say how it is best you never meet your idols? I think Neils would be devastated. Nevertheless, what a great ambassador for the game that has come from some DVDs some Dutch kid got his hands on back in the day! Might be the only contribution Burt ever made. Good on him!

😊 I can’t wait for tomorrow to practice. It is snowing heavily outside 😮.

Jimmy Vito 'The Surgeon' Lang here, from Dallas, Texas. Niel, man I love 💖 all that I have learned from your Videos over the years. God bless you and yours Always!

I can't wait to work on those shots in my next practice session! This is exactly what I need to improve my game. Thanks Niels!!!

I've watched this one a few times, and now I'm going down to the pool hall to put it into practice. As with all your drills, I know this is going to pay big dividends. Thanks, Niels!🙏

Awesome video. I really hope you make a series out of this and break down all the other components of the 6 & 9 pointed star patterns. I would pay for that 😁

Holy Moly thank you so much! I would love to get in person training and week long session to perfect these shots!!!

This is one of the best drills I have tried. It really teaches you about tip position and stroke speed. I surprised my self by being to execute all of the shots successfully. I was following your stroke technique very carefully. I will be practicing this for a long timel. Just incredible! Thank you for this.

This drill is unreal!

I'll definitely practice this drill. Thanks Niels!

Yes… this seems like a very good drill. I hope you have a good time in cold wintery Sweden.

This seems like a good drill. Can’t wait to try it out.

Love this drill, thanks Niels! These type of shots/position plays come up very often in the game and this drill can definitely improve your game and confidence.

These are gems man. Can't wait to use this knowledge tonight. 🎱🎱

Great drill, Niels! Can't wait to try it out.❤

This is what i'm looking for.. as always great instructional channel from a PRO! Thank you Niels - your videos are always a gem! Keep up the good job sharing your talent!

Τhanks for the subtitles Niels in the Greek language 😃💪🏻 Keep healthy and sharp!

Simply..gold!

you know terminator every time your lessons and drill are hoooo amazing keep up on it 💪💪

Great drill and great video! Thanks!

Strong drill and great video Niels. Bravo and thanks man. 😎👊

Excelente video tutorial Sr. Nels, tal vez el mejor trabajo para entrenar que he visto hasta el momento, bien ilustrado y muy bien explicado.... Saludos desde Venezuela

Cant wait to get on the table and practice that. I know thats a great drill already!!

@Niels, can you please do a video on draw shot exercise, not power draw only, but controlled draw where you draw back different amounts and explain how you think of it, where you hit the ball, how much below center, speed of stroke, amount of follow through, etc. for each shot. Whatever you think makes for the amount of control of the draw stroke.

Love your videos Terminator. I watch your videos over and over bro. Thank you.

Going at the table right now to practice this, thank you Niels 😃

Fantastic!! thank you so much !!

Hvala Nil ! 🍀🏆

Excellent video. Well explained and a great exercise.

Its awesome master Feijen 🔥🎱 Danke

thanks Niels The Terminator Feijen great tutorial ,nice shooting also

Thank you!!great teaching

I never understood how was the cue ball's reaction precisely after the shot from cushion. I was guessing the side spin and tip position and wished the good luck. This is the most thorough lesson I've ever seen. Thanks for the fantastic lesson.

Niels, I really appreciate all of the great drills, and I really respect you giving Bert a shout out as well. I have several of his videos, a couple of which you are in. I do have a question on tip position during competitive play. When you are evaluating the shot and you decide on your next position, then you get down on the ball, are you just "in the zone" and shoot the shot, or are you actively thinking during aiming "one tip above center and stun it across"?

This drill is way harder than it looks. I did it 20 minutes a day for a week and rarely got past five balls. The second week I got up to eight or nine balls. Now in the third week I am doing 10 or 12 with a high of 19. It’s a little harder on a 7 foot table with large side pockets like mine. Scratches are more of a threat. Also, I’ve found at least another 5-6 shots come up a lot that Niels didn’t mention, most likely because lesser players don’t have his precision. I’ve since added the yo-yo drill and skillful squares. Soon the up and down drill too. Really great stuff that teaches you a lot about angles and building/maintaining a good stroke.

I can't for the lofe of me manage to get the cue ball to "slide over" on shot four. Im hiting the cue ball where directed. Thanks so much for sharing all of this amazing knowledge! Love your channel

I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button with high English to feed the algorithm monsters.

Thank You for sharing your knowledge Niels 🙏

Literally practicing this right now. Keep getting too flat on the long rail when rolling the cueball up the table. Nice drill for recognizing those habits.

fantastic drill!!!

Helped me a lot…tnx man

Great info. Thanks!

very useful, hope you makes more videos, love so much

Very good drill thank you

thanks terminator!!

Awesome stuff. Nils you know what i'm struggling most with, once i go to a diffrent table everything is diffrent my speed is off the rails have a diffrent path resulting in disaster positions. If you could show us any tricks how to learn a diffrent table as fast as possible before the day before the tournament starts when warming up.

Terminator I am your fan. I follow your posts with automatic translation and Turkish subtitles. Could you please add Turkish to the automatic translation section?

Thank you very much really helpful appreciate

Thanks!

Great drill.!!! Question: what are some of the best drills for skill level 6 and 7 to get better and to start shooting like the pros? thank you for your videos!

Thank you Niels! Curious, why do so many of these drills use balls frozen to the rail? (this one, Yo Yo, going up and down controlling the inside of the table) 🙏

Thanks Niels!

Quick question. Shot 5 @ 5:25. Was that hit, cushion first? Quarter ball, only? Much appreciation.

If you do this routine but grab two of any of the 15 balls, it makes it a bit easier to randomize the two balls, assuming your table has returns.

Me at the beginning of the video…..ok, that’s easy. After the video….holy shit 😳

Damn. Did a run of 60 the other day. Prior top was 19. I was shooting too high on the cue ball relative to the positions Niels showed. For example, 11 o'clock on the cue ball. I was shooting closer to a a tip and a half or even two tips above center, slightly to the left, and getting too close to the wing balls. Lowered my tip position and started getting the cueball above the wing balls and before the side pocket. One tip: Don't start out hitting the balls in order. Just hit in any order until you get the hang of it. Then hit the balls in order. Same thing for the skillful squares and similar drills.

i think....ill trry that ! thanks

He Niels! Bedankt voor al je videos, heb je ook een instructie hoe je om moet gaan met de deflectie wanneer je gebruik maakt van spin, ik zie vaak dat je gebruik maakt van spin, maar in de praktijk mis ik dan vaak de shots, de deflectie hangt van veel factoren af maar hoe kun je dit het beste oefenen of begrijpen.

Thanks!

Niels... We love You man. And always "like the way You work". But honestly, is there a subliminal intention being tested? Consider one request? Change the background noise, please. 🎖️Bottom line for us ole folks is a distraction from learning.

One question that comes to mind when watching this drill, how well does this translate to bar box tables? I'm going to give it a try anyway

Heading to a tournament in 4 hours, hopefully this helps REALLY FAST so I don’t embarrass myself again 😂

Thanks for lessons, Niels! Im struggling with finding my stances, how far should i stand and backhand movement due to equipments problems like table height and cue length, weight. Can you provide us some tips and exercises to fix that please?

So I did this drill and I can tell you right now it's all about speed control tip position it's harder than he makes it look lol

Great drill but 20:48 you were supposed to be shooting the 3 ball next no?

hi, i really like your videos... how can i have a longona cues, bag, gloves and a sharpener?

Very good,but before doing this,,please make video how to understand the deflection..not all beginner has a very good stick.thanks

Mr. Feijn, are you contacting the object ball in the same place? Thanks in advance from Treasure Island.

Great video as always! Can I please ask what are the pocket sizes on your table?

Great drill but you're not always gonna have the object ball on the 2nd diamond so learning how different positions effect the shots is crucial. Like if the object ball is at diamond one its completely different I'd assume. Lots of practice and use variations.😮

When are you going to be playing in the USA again?
