i now video myself practicing.
I had an issue hitting off to one side, but when i was caught in the background of a video in a comp i could see i was gripping the cue too far back. I moved my grip and solved the problem.
The best advise ive learned is to become a student of the game and a student of your mistakes.

Very nice analysis! The graphics and camera placement, in general, worked together to make everything you were saying crystal clear. And you have confirmed my hunch that being a good pool player requires a great deal of skill and intelligence. Fortunately, the game is a lot of fun, and it feels very satisfying when the object ball goes where you want it to go.

Thanks for all your hard work on this series. I've got my own (very amateur) channel so I know how much work goes into coming up with such good quality content and so much of it.

Can you please do a video on the effect of body tention due to stress, the moment etc and how that affect the stroke

[mediapartners]

Recent got a table at home and I've been loving these videos, thanks for making them. What is the light you have above your table?

Since I'm also an After Effects animator / developer I'm really curious if I already know your animation! But I can imagine you might not want to reveal that identity on here…

Great videos, thank you. I've noticed as I que up the que is brushing against the side of my chest, is this normal or a big no no? I'm a fairly good potter but no consistency so wondering if this could be the cause. Strangely distance shots seem to be my speciality but I miss so many close range shots and I've no idea why!

Should be called "Cue School" instead! 😀

Blackball - I always place my cue tip/cue on the table to get in the line of the shot and line up my right leg/foot (my coach in Asia told me to do this as an aid and I just kept doing it) along the shot line. I then lift up the cue and get down on that line and play my shot. In a league game my opponent claimed I was cheating/marking the table (I use Taom v10 green on a green cloth). Am I commiting a foul? Thx

[ianwhite]

What cloth is that ? Doesnt look like superfine ( I cant get my hands on any😢)

the tip rise is because you are so low with the chin. try to stand up a bit and its gone. or open your hand while you follow through.
