This is one of the best logical explanations of how professionals think. Great job. 👍🏽

I guarantee that I would get behind that 10. It's the special sauce that makes us APA 4s the mediocre players that we are.

8:45 I'll betcha behind the ten is exactly where my cue ball is going! Ha!

I needed this big time. Last Session I watched vids like this and my 8 ball game zoomed. I stopped watching training vids and I lost my momentum! Have not won one 8 ball all this Session so back to FX for tech reminders. I wish I could retain ALL the information I learn but I have discovered that watching vids is just as important as time on the table for me at least. And I was so happy because that last set I saw the run out easily. Thanks Bryan for your time!

[tonygarner]

Thank you again. 30+ years ago, I played 5 to 7 days a week. Didn't play pool for a lot of years, married, raising kids all that stuff. I only get to play a couple Saturday nights a month at the local bar, which isn't enough play time to be good. But your videos are really helping me remember things I have forgotten. I don't lose to many games on a Saturday night, if any. But I still want to play better. I used to be able to shoot like you consistently. But those days are gone because I don't have the time you need to spend on a pool table. And all the pool halls are gone. Used to be one in every town. My 8 ball game ain't to bad. I have a love hate relationship with 9 ball. I love 9 ball, but the tournaments they have here are the best two out of three. They play slop on 9 ball and I have gotten beat by a lesser player so many times it really get's to me. Thanks again for you videos. Going to play some 8 ball Saturday night. 😀

Getting back into APA in three weeks after a 7 year absence. Your videos have been super helpful! Gotta keep a simple and consistent mindset while I look for my stroke haha

[johnburke]

Thank you. Been watching a while. Appreciate your videos. 62y old and enjoying playing in league. Have a great day!

[jacobshockley]

Some of the best advice I have seen. Thanks

[howardholtzman]

Great video. It was exactly what I needed.

[daveculbertson]

Beautiful video B! I was explaining the importance and power of the pocket hanger to a lower skill level player last night. They were having trouble understanding why I was wanting to be positioned on the rail for the shot though. I set it up for them from both sides first, and then three slightly different angles in open table space. It clicked in very quickly after not getting the desired result on the shots that weren't on the rails.

[thegodofpez]

I never realized how important pattern play really is. Thanks again, good sir!

[billylejeune]

Just want to say Thank you Brian you have really helped me improve My Pool Game.. I'm 61 played a lot back in the 70s mostly 8 Ball

[luckyone]

Very helpful video. I really need to work on my draw shots. This looks so effortless. Even the last 9ft shot you dont hammer the ball to get the outcome.

[natedoglara]

I am just starting to get into playing pool. I just ordered my first cue. I enjoy watching your videos.

[samuelleevallongo]

Wow u exposed my problem, I can shoot, bank etc but for example I ran all balls except one before the 8 because I assumed position was good enough which in turn left me difficult shots on the 8 both games that I lost. Tyvm

[ianmastrangelo]

Awesome video Brian! 8 Ball league is starting up in about a month for me so I've been working on my pattern play a lot. Your emphasis on the key ball is a huge help for intermediate players like myself. I think once you reach a certain level you start to be able to instinctively make that decision, however it's super important to make a point of labeling it with a conscious decision on which ball is the key ball. I'm assuming by K2 you either mean another possible key ball, or the ball that will lead you to the key ball. Either way, little mental notes like that with some discipline make a big difference. Thanks again for giving us so many 8 ball videos, it's a huge help :)

[GilBotelho-kdgp]

I show your video to my students and they are doing very well.thank you Brian keep your video coming.

[SamLawlace]

I've been playing nine ball with my buds for about a year, and about to try some eight ball. This is just the kind of help I needed to think through the game. Thanks

[mikeandalicescott]

Great stuff Bryan. I'm in an 8-ball league, and it seems to me that more often than not I manage to do that 1000 to one shot to hook myself on the eight ball. I can figure out the pattern and key ball fairly well, but still end up on the wrong side of the ten ball and have to kick at the ten! Working on it though! Thanks.

[j.a.m]

Great great video. As always. Thanks for demystifying the “run out” . You rock brother. 🙏💪✌️
