Best introduction to pool that I've ever seen. It's great for those that know a little, but need more explanation of what actually occurs on a table.

Great masterclass Tony, enjoyed every minute of it.

[hercules]

I think mastering the first three Levels would be enough, to beat 95% of all amateur player

This man just did a casual 13 minute masterclass for wired without so much as a way for us to pay him for it and bounced.

What a legend.

Love Tony, very down to earth. Met him a couple years ago where he was performing pool tricks to people. Great to see hes still doing well

This is a 12-minute version of a great series of classes I just took on playing pool. Tony Robles is an amazing instructor. Now I'm on to find more by Tony—thank you Tony for such great instruction!

There were so many misconceptions about pool among my college classmates when I was learning to play. It took me years to learn all of this and this video covers so much in under 13 mins. Well done.

I've never seen anyone explain the different shots in pool so perfectly. Simple and straight to the point explanations that tell you how it is. There are a few things I've learned about side spin and stop shots that i've been doing wrong for years so im glad I stumbled across this video

[moritzr]

wow! super informative, ive always wanted to know this kind of stuff, excellent editing to go with the info aswell. Great job

Tony makes it look easy. Great explanations of the physics behind the movement.

Loved this video. Personally, the best improvement to my own pool game was learning how to play snooker for a tournament. Much bigger table with smaller pockets, had to be very accurate to sink anything. If you're used to a pool table, a snooker table looks like a golf course.

Pretty comprehensive guide to know my skill level. I've mastered up to level 7, working on things up to level 10, clueless at level 11 and beyond.

The 3 shot ahead plan helped me a lot even tho its simple logic👍 I used to plan just for the next shot and then i suddenly didnt have where to shoot. I started planning for more shots ahead and now iam much better. Thanks!!

took a class in college to learn how to play pool. I didn't learn a thing - everyone else already knew how so they were just there to play pool, not to learn. Nobody even wanted to play with me. 😥 I wish they had YouTube University back then! This video would have been very helpful.

I've always wanted to get into the sport, it's so much fun! Unfortunately though - there aren't any pool clubs near me :(

[rockox]

Tony stops by my pool stream for pointers often, mostly "stay down on your shot", amazing guy.

[whenturtlesattack]

Finally the dots have been explained to me!!! Haha I just got good at guestimating my bank/kick shots

[nakulnirmalpandey]

Best video I found yet. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[petermgates]

Tony is a true champ. If you are in NYC and want to improve, joining one of his clinics is money well spent!

Good elementary breakdown of pool basics. Always nice to be reminded of the importance of having a solid foundation before moving "up" into more advanced pool technique.
