TWO AIMING SECRETS THE PROS DON'T WANT YOU KNOW! 

He is definitely a preacher at the local baptist church

30 years of playing and teaching pool, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Friction induced throw is just as important as tangent line. Awesome.

A good lesson Anthony. I plan on watching it every so often just as a reminder. Thanks for the video.👍

Loved the table speed example. Thank you for that!

Excellent advice, very well explained, a real eye opener.

Been playing 50 years or more and this was all a good reminder even though I knew it. It's still good to have fundamental reminders now and then. I've been practicing by myself too much and developing a few bad habits.I had to go back to basics ,which is always good to do from time to time. Thanks a lot for these videos Anthony I'm sure it helps my game! Good luck on your pool Channel and everything else you do in life!!

Thank you for your video. Please keep them coming. The way you explain your examples of shots make it much easier to understand what you are trying to convey.

Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the insight, Anthony!

Man I love your videos and you do a fantastic job explaining with visuals what you are teaching! thank you!

Awesome training video Anthony!

Thank you this makes so much sense

Thanks for this

I'm glad I subscribed, you are very easy to understand! Thank you, and keep up the great teaching...

Love this advice: off to the pool hall to get myself a baseline shot strength - hadn't really thought about it before.

Being of age (70) AND a bloody beginner this helped me find a way through (and out of) the chaos of aiming-system-advices. Thank You !

It's taken years and years to become familiar with this important lesson. I've watched this video twice this year and honestly still find myself surprised I haven't completely grasped the concept. Getting closer though!

Preach it brother! Let the truth be known!

Thanks for this. I have learned this as "Cut induced throw" But I have always compensated it by over cutting my shot. Never really thought to consider speed. I will be introducing this into my practice regiment. I wish I had a coach like you around where I live.

Thank you

Great post ....thanks !

So glad I discovered this channel

Amazing advice. Super helpful

Had no idea Ricky Gervais played such good pool!

Thank You!!

Yes sure...scratching my head and wondering why... Thanks for the lesson...really clear explanation

Great info! Thanks!

Very useful. Thanks a lot 👍

Great vid. Eben for ppl that play 15yrs theres always something to learn. I always wondered in League "damn my aim Was right, how did i miss". Ty Sir

Great ! biggest take is find that stroke speed . groove it .

Thanks for the info and video

Fantastic!

You are a great teacher sir.

Excellent

THANK YOU for using jazz for your opening music, pink panther style! I would love to see jazz make a comeback to be as popular as rock. And now I will watch the rest of your video :)

Hello Anthony. Great in depth video. Love your work. One of these days I'll get out East, and come visit you. Best Todd Shirley.

Thank you for the tips on repeatable Cue stroke plus repeatable Cue speed = Repeatable Results! LT from Tacoma, Wa.

Well said, thank you.

Excellent!!!! "Consistancy" is a very important word in pool.

Good lesson

I really appreciate the lesson. You have great information on critical element of the aiming lines

Thank you, explains why I been missing my long cut shots down the rail as of late. I have not been hitting them with proper speed or using english to compensate for the speed to get on the next ball.

This was excellent. I kind of knew it, but this made it crystal clear.

Overwhelming information. I’m grateful. My dad was the champion of Nepal back in the 70’s My grandpa used to go on expedition’s with westerners. In fact he was the one to introduce mountaineering to Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. I’ve met him when I was around a year but I seem to know him better after getting his book from Amazon. The irony is that I had to pay IRs 2300. I appreciate your effort on sharing your knowledge of the game to me and all exactly like me. As for me… I’m an Odinary Man. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks for the tips, brother Anthony. I like you Sinclair decor in your billiards room.

Anthony, you are absolutely awesome. Great stuff to live by. Mr. Vito.

I've been playing since 92, and at a high level since 96, and I've never heard of friction-induced throw until now....it explains so much! Thank you!

Chapter Selection 4:58 Aiming Secret #1 A repeatable stroke, struck with a repeatable speed, gets repeatable aiming results. 8:58 Aiming Secret #2 An aiming system is only as good as the angle of the shot, the speed of the shot, and the spin the shot is struck with. 9:41 Aim Line - explaining the little change of direction if you strike the ball hard or soft. 19:58 Where do the pros go to improve?

I am 72 years old and just learning, I love the help.

Incredible. Seriously.

great video --this confirmed a few ideas i had from watching pros..........

I’m an advanced player(not a champion by any stretch). I think ur dead on with your theories. I know this stuff but u articulated it better than I have heard. The best thing a player can do is to position the cue ball to where using the optimal speed will get u to the position to use the optimal speed for the next ball. Obviously u gotta soft hit one once in awhile for position. Great video. Keep passing in the knowledge.

Format: Pink Panther intro meets slow speaking Southern drawl dude with a crap load of trophies on display. I wanted to pick on what you were going to say...but it's pretty good stuff. First idea: slow shots produce larger skid My thoughts: Good point, but many pros shoot a good bit harder than what you showed there, SVB definitely being one of them, other examples are Shaw (maybe the best shooter out there currently) and Strickland (used to hold that 'title'), there are many more. Most do not slow roll unless the rock needs to move a small distance (easiest most likely path to position) though, very true. It's amazing how much your subconscious (apparently) compensates automatically for all these aspects of of object ball direction. Sighting with shaft at top of cue. I actually see exactly the opposite. If you look at many of the Filipino players (Reyes, Busty, etc) you will see they virtually ALWAYS aim with the tip on the table, center ball. Many of them, Reyes included, actually never move the tip to the position they are intending to strike the cue ball, for English or follow/draw (most of the time) until the shot actually occurs. This makes me think they might be using the back hand English approach to aiming. I've had more than one high lever playing person tell me not to slow roll balls unless it is very necessary, and that really doesn't happen all that often. Cool to hear some of the reasons. Thanks, I will implement this in practice long enough to get it locked and see if that helps. As for the physics (yeah, a damned engineer), it's amazing to me how many different aspects seem to occur at, or be centered around a half ball (30 degree) hit. Some examples are that the cue ball/object ball velocities after impact are equal, throw is maximized (apparently), and many rules of thumb, like the 30 degree cue ball final path, after the usually small tangential starting path for a normally rolling cue ball (can be REALLY important on some shots) occurs at 1/2 ball hit. Obviously you can modify this dramatically with large draw/follow. Throw increase for draw...interesting, off the top of my pin head about the only reason I can figure for that might be the induced 'lightening' of the cue ball wrt the cloth. Maybe totally off base. I will have to hit Dr Dave's channel and see if he has an explanation and/or demonstration for this. If you know better feel free to respond, you are not going to hurt my feelings, I'm used to being wrong occasionally, just like everyone else who actually does something mother nature (physics/math) has a serious hand in. As for the slow speaking drawl (which I expect might be exaggerated for effect) I'm just joshing. One of the really smart engineers I worked with spoke very much like that, and others to varying degrees. One other cut angle variance I might point out is if the cue ball is flying, the cut angle is reduced, fly it much and it becomes almost zero. The cue ball is ALWAYS lifted off the table when shooting, unless your cue is absolutely level, and vertically center ball hit (don't believe it, place a dime a short distance on line beyond the cue ball and shoot, the dime will lay undisturbed, the harder the longer and higher). Small heights have VERY small effect (insignificant really) heights achieved when jumping, still in the air or on a bounce can have VERY large effects, often why you see a professionally hit object ball miss severely undercut when the cue ball is on the line of aim, but in that condition on contact. Yeah, rarely encountered, but yet another example of what you are talking about here, that a given cue ball path aiming line may not result in the object ball going where it 'should'. Subscribed. Now, if only I could execute at some remote respect to my knowledge. THAT requires many many hours of GOOD practice. I heard a statement from Jeremy Jones on a match I was watching a couple of days ago that seemed to sum it up (he and Encardona are two favorites, and when the pros commentate). He said that an amateur practices until he makes a given shot, a pro practices until he doesn't MISS it. Seems reasonable. He said one of the other major differences is that on every shot they practice, or shoot in a match, they watch carefully how ALL the balls interact given how they struck EACH and EVERY shot, speed, 'spice', distance, etc. Yeah, my hair would be in pain if I did that. I guess you have to be SERIOUSLY committed to the game. SVB apparently breaks and racks, rinse and repeat, for HOURS not infrequently. Probably why he's the best breaker out there (MHO, or at least pro top tier). :-/

I watched your video in 1.5x speed and need to lower the volume 😊, but I do enjoy the content quality and your tips are useful. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for those tips. I remember that C.J. Wiley recommends the same thing about trying to use most of the time the same speed for most of the shots to get less variables.

So i have to say that when i ran across this video, i thought it was gonna be some silly thing about aiming. The only reason I decided to watch was because i very to laugh at you. However, i am very glad you actually didn’t start talking about aiming systems. I think it was very important to watch this as a general refresher. I’ve literally forgotten about this. I appreciate taking the time to make.

Thanks i think your videos wil help me alot.

I’m a young pool player. Only been playing serious for about a year and this is an incredible video. Thank you so much!!!!

Thanks

Great video. Learned a lot. I would love to see you do a video sometime on how to get a good draw shot.

Love the pink panther style intro

Thanks.

Excellent video. I must admit that your two systems (abbreviated ".FiT and ASS") is fantastic. I'll be looming at many more by you.

Wonderful advice. Thank you! Earl Strickland has been providing excellent commentary for some matches for the Billiard Network recently. One thing he stresses over and over is that pros tend to put a little spin on most cut shots. It's not always for the cue ball position, but rather to allow spin induced throw to help compensate for collision induced throw. I've started doing that as well and have noticed an improvement in pocketing balls.

Yeeee haaaaa. Sick video 👍

Thank 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Sir .. I really enjoyed this video thank you it spoke volumes to me. I have to ask. is that a gold cube of Brunswick chalk on the long rail LOL LOL?. If it is don't you love it.

wow. i run out racks of balls, and dog the 8 many many times..because, i was a professional golfer, and having to make that 3 foot put requires a relaxed slower stroke.vs. pool that same mentality is why i have failed to finish. wow mind blown

Good stuff bud thanks! You sound like JEFF Foxworthy.

this guy gives a few good tips here from experience .

Mr. Beller, for being a master instructor and all experience you have, I can only imagine how many bank accounts you've cleaned out!!! You just don't strike as a pool player!!! 😂😂😂😂 Probably they all came all happy and dandy, believing they had a mark on you, and they you stroke them like a rattlesnake!!!! Great teachings!

I had the place to myself I got so much work to do love ya

He is the best

Good video

now I know why Ive been missing. it was the speed. Thanks!

In snooker we have a similar system, depending on the angle shots are played with stun to cancel out the effect of the table not being 100% true and playing against or across the nap of the cloth. The idea being not to give the object ball time to roll off.

I know I'm late on this, but after watching this and thinking about it, I play a lot of speed variation, being I try to control position with speed. I'll try your tricks and tips to get over that. Several of your other videos have been a huge help.

Love the condition of that table. Knowing about cut induced throw (I was taught this concept as "cut-induced") is how I've had an edge against my opponents for a while. Also, I'm not a fan of sticking with one speed. That's just a temporary fix, but it limits your game and repertoire. Being able to change your speed and knowing how to compensate accordingly for the amount of throw induced allows you to have more in your arsenal when it comes to getting position, like times when you have to cut and hit soft to hold for position. It's like drinking soda to quench a thirst. It's there, it's quick, it does the trick, but causes more health problems down the line.

I don’t have the patience to listen, but nice!

I practiced this shot 20 times and missed 20 times, before I realized that speed is the most important part of the shot. Thank you for reinforcing my thought.

nice buddy..nive video...i want to ask u sir how to find a vision center of a player..maybe its the reason i miss bcoz of the cue alignment under my chin..hopefully u will do a video how to find the vision center..i often spin the cueball even i shoot straight shot cueball always spin...im a subscriber here in philippines..godbless

Good stuff, thanks for the video. Edit: Humidity and dirt (on the balls) also affects throw.

Are you from Kentucky bro? I feel like you're from Kentucky. P.S. GREAT CONTENT!

I have that same Phillips 66 gas pump.

I have met some of the best players in the world and played against them. Not a single one, didn’t want me to know some sort of “secret.”

Watched this@ 2x speed. Awesome video

You switched tables, is that a Gold Crown?

Nice video; is that a Gold Crown V? I got a 10' 1946 Centennial, but I think the GC V is the best looking table since Brunswick made the Anniversary and Centennial. They sure messed up with the VI in my opinion.

He said "Hello I'm Master Instructor Anthony Beeler". lmao

I didn't know Glenn from Superstore shoots pool. lol First time watching and just like to say great job!! Clear and easy to follow. This game is a lifetime of learning. Best game on the planet!! Always different and too much to learn...lol What table do you have? It looks like a Rasson. Nice table

Is t object ball speed more important than cue ball speed ? Therefore the ghost ball technique combined with the correct object ball speed should be the optimum aiming technique correct? Also,if using spin your aim shouldn't be affected if you use bhe should it?

2:21 Ironically those types of shots are the easiest because there is more room for error. because it's a pool table.

What sort of cues are you using?

Is the shot speed calibration for 75% of shots on a 7ft or a 9ft table?

I just saw this video and really appreciate it much,thank you for ur efforts in sharing this ideas.this will will help elevate my game.

HI Sir Anthony can you explain more on how the Friction causes to throw the ball, i cant quite understand the physics of it fully. Any comment from the viewers is also appreciated, im starting to practice pool recently and i need help . Thanks.

A better way to say it is “cut induced throw”. All throw is friction induced. The other friction induced throw is spin induced.

You kinda sound like the guy from the NY Life inspirational speeches.

What pool cue u use ?

I know I use high English on thin cuts as well because I get more speed using less strength in turn giving me less friction.

You explained why Efren hardly ever used draw! I have watched many good shooters and follow is used a lot more than draw.
