Great stuff Mick. I can't believe we're getting info like this for free. I'd say as an African player access to coaching gems from top British players is immense.

Ive been playing pool for 30 years and somehow didn’t know this! Invaluable content! Thanks Mick

[chezchesterman]

[MrSegopa]

This is awesome clarity about the parallel shift & you managed to put it clear for us out there and understand it. Thanks Sir Mick 🙏🏼😇

[tomfrench]

In just over 3 minutes you’ve probably helped my game 10x more than any hour long coaching video. Never managed to work out double cushion escapes, defo going to try this technique when I next practice. Thanks! 🙏

Sir!
I was waiting for a channel of this sort.
I can't explain how happy I am to have an opportunity to learn for you..."6 times"!

[TheAidanstaff]

Love it mick and was even better watching you explain it in person. I know have an easier understanding of the parallel shift and will be implementing it into my game when needed

[mediapartners]

[Sammy]

I have always struggled to undertand this, thanks for explaining it in laymans terms Mick, much appreciated.

[poodoo]

Gutted I'm not finding your videos til now, league finished a couple of weeks back! Never mind, gonna practice in the break and come back better! Thanks

[mainandungu]

Thank you very much Mick
That was so informative
A question:
I would like to have some clarity on the speed of a shot:
1. What is pressure grip and how does it affect the speed of a shot?
2. How does the cue distance affect the speed of shot?
3. When playing a shot should you always have the same cue distance? i.e should the cue stick travel the same distance in all shots?

Cheers Mick. Is this system unique to the geometry of the English table or would you use the same system on a Snooker/American table too?

[cgreenlife]

Thank you for the content. Question for you, on which axis are you shifting? Are you shifting along the closes rail to you (the rail that's top to bottom) or the first contact rail? Or is it diagonal towards the pocket that top left to you? I've been shifting along bank of first contact and not getting great success with it. Could be the bad rails I play on too though! Thanks.

Cheers mick, thanks for the info please keep them coming. Ps do you find that table of yours a lot tighter in the pockets than the supreme?

[thomasmccullagh]

Thats fantastic mick, I wasn't aware of that.been playing donkeys years so this is good to know thanks.

[Jiayne]

hi Mick very enjoyable again, as a youngster i was half decent could just break off and clear up, alas as an older player i developed a sad trend id stand behind and as soon as i adressed the cue ball i couldnt stop myself instantly striking the cue ball, suppose its similar to dartitas have you any advice, cheers,

[duttonguitar]

Hi Mick can you do a video in the future on potting balls that you can't quite see the potting angle on using side how you can spin the ball in

[jchewy]

Question- black corner pocket white opposite corner pocket no way up the table off the top cushion, how would parallel shift out of that? Right hand side before the middle pocket to straighten the white off the top cushion?
