People always talk of Efren but our generation has been blessed with Chris Melling's genius man...he deserves all the good things the pool world can offer

The difference is that melling can play efrens version of the game and beat him before... but efren can play this version...not any other version

@volnii_strelok Год назад

Chris's cue action is just perfect and he sees the patterns really quickly. Many thanks for these series of videos.

@ConstructSC Год назад

Is amazing seeing such a difference in styles between this and Mick Hill. You've got Mick's methodical, inch perfect cue ball control never running out of position, then Chris's shotmaking ability and commanding the cue ball around the table to wherever he wants, it doesn't even matter if he runs out of position. Flawless Vs Flashy. Love it.

Glad you enjoyed! More coming soon...

@alandmunk3h Год назад

Going thinner @ 6:44 I think Chris is compensating for the "Squeeze Effect". This is when playing a cut, you need to play thinner that the "Ghost Ball" method contact point, to compensate for object ball throw sending the object ball slightly more in the direction the cueball is travelling when the cue ball is approaching the object ball.

@72poolshark Год назад

@ChrisMelling1 you are a legend mate, so glad I've had the pleasure of playing against you on many occasions. 5 break dishes and 2 golden breaks in one video and every shot "perfect" apparently 😂

@8ballphil150 Год назад

i played against chris back in the 90s when he was a kid . it was in osset for the county games . we knew then he was special .

@dhirajpallin2572 Год назад

Man, these pros always end up with such better layouts than I get in actual games. I watch these videos thinking I've learnt something then I go play and my layouts are always like 4 balls on the rails and like 3 clusters to break up all in the same rack. It's ridiculous :\ Guess it's all due to the break. I don't remember playing a rack where I didn't have at least 3 balls glued to the long rails.

@billhaskins38 Год назад

@onniroy4975 Год назад

I actually think Chris’s patterns combined with shot making is more accessible to me than Micks flawless positional play. Playing more in Chris’s style but without his exceptional potting ability I might be able to clear say 20-30% of the time. I know I simply wouldn’t be able to emulate MIcks play and have to rely on a bit of luck so down to 10 per cent.

The reason you go that little bit further than you think on your cut shots is to counter the effects of “cut induced throw”. The same reason why a lot of people add a trace of running side on cut shots.

@stuartculshaw5342 Год назад

Yes, I identify with this type of play so much. I learnt by potting ridiculous shots first, I was good at it. And then over the years I've toned it down and learnt good pace and cue control. I also have age-old hang-ups about my stance and line adjustments; but the fact that Chris Melling has just told me that it's all absoluelty fine is amazing.

@stuartculshaw5342 Год назад

I feel vindicated! When I take a shot; I line up, walk into the shot, aim, and then I adjust to hit the white a little bit thinner. The fact that Chris Melling, one of the greatest players ever to play the game does the same thing has absolutely made my day. I have been critisised for it and that has always stuck with me. Well no.. sod that.. now this video will stick with me... Nice one Chris. [EDIT]... I have a lazy (rubbish) right eye. I wonder if Chris has the same? I've always thought that was the reason.

@dhirajpallin2572 Год назад

I doubt it's due to a vision problem, because if that were the case, it would probably be uneven, i.e. more prone to happen when shooting left vs shooting right. It's funny, I tend to miss shots too thin when I miss, almost never too thick.

It is placed on the table when racking up so as to prolong the lifespan of the felt in that busy area of the table...u know how people can drop the balls with force into the triangle

Is there much money in pro level pool?

@lajaunsavage272 Год назад

There is good and bad in this video. The good part is that you know how to play patterns with no pressure. if you can process all 8 patterns in less than 30 seconds well good for you. The bad part is that this is a pro concept of playing patterns and that concept only take place in championships/tournaments/play for money. In these high-pressure conditions your more likely to make a mistake, your nerves are acting up, and your emotions are being challenged. It takes enormously hard work to suppress those elements that can affect you in high-pressure situations.
