Damn that was a pretty good run you did there. God I love pool, you obviously are playing against another player when playing, but it's really you vs yourself in every game.
I came to YouTube to see if there were any videos for pool practice. You have shared something with all these that we can use every day for practice. I expect to do better in all my shots after using these drills. I will come back in the future to thank you again and update you on my own results. Thanks so much for sharing what you know. Barbara
you're definetely an awesome teacher!! you can perfectly explain what you know. cus there are other experts of any field out there.but most of them cannot teach! congrats and thnx 4 sharing!
hola! Cómo hace para que la bola blanca se devuelva? cuál es el efecto que le aplica? No entiendo eso! hello, there is something basic that I do not understand, how does he do for the cue ball is back in contact with the other ball? What kind of effect do you? Thanks a loto!!
this is the best video of yours ive seen, some of the others r not as clear, uve got some glaire off the cloth & the early vids the cloth colour is awfull does not show the balls up at all, but this vid fantastic cloth colour very clear, no light glare off the cloth, spot on, keep it up, ive also noticed the development of your pool room over the vids, chair,cue rack carpet etc, fantastic man
Nice work ForceFollow. As a snooker player, I know the hardest thing about 9-ball is positional play. Just saw your video Carl - no wonder you say you find 9 Ball pockets easy, your table has buckets!!! They must be twice standard cut. You even had to stop the cue ball running into the middle pocket off the second ball - which should have missed by a foot. I will believe your 7 out of 10 racks when you post them.
also, i can see your a tallented player, and did'nt mean to sound unappreciative of a fellow billiard player, i just find nine ball tables easy for me..............
i played my first game of nine ball recently, and broke and cleared in 7 out of ten games.you can afford to miss by three, four inchs on the corner pots, yet they go in!!!!!!!!! i got a few video's up. type in 'holyheads Carl Evans playing snooker ', and carl evans playing pool......
I really despise folks who come on here and post asinine and puerile comments about things that don't even have a direct bearing on the subject at hand.
EVOSTICK1969 - why don't YOU post up a similar video and share with all of us here your extraordinary Billiard skills? I'm sure all of American Pool players would like to see just how skillful and talented a REAL Billiards / Snooker / Carom player can be ... especially on precision drills requiring ball placement and shape.
You're talking about two completely different types of tables, not to mention two completely different types of games, dude. English Billiards / Snooker / Carom uses SMALLER balls so, yes, the pockets on an English Billiards table are going to be smaller and tighter by design. American Billiards (Pool) uses a larger ball, consequently ... the pockets are going to be like "buckets'" to a person who shoots snooker, et. al. Not even in the same league or category.
Not taking sides here, but it's a bit misleading to just say "smaller balls, smaller pockets" and that pool uses bigger balls so has bigger pockets. In pool the pockets are bigger in relation to the balls than in snooker. All about proportion!
And that's EXACTLY what I said in my post ... or did you not read it completely? =)
"Carom uses SMALLER balls so, yes, the pockets on an English Billiards table are going to be smaller and tighter by design. American Billiards (Pool) uses a larger ball, consequently ... the pockets are going to be like "buckets'" to a person who shoots snooker, et. al."
You just stated the same exact thing I did ... just in a different manner and method.
I did read it completely and I disagree that it was exactly what you said, even if you intended it that way.
Phrasing it as you did suggested that the bigger balls necessitate the bigger pockets, but a pool table could be made with smaller pockets that are equally as tight as a snooker tables in relation to the balls. All that matters is the proportion, not the comparative dimensions of snooker/pool table pockets.
I do agree that the person you were replying to was full of crap, though!

ive beaten strickland and fisher in athens georgia,and tied with archer in winder georgia.i look forward to playing your best bud this november in bangladash since you cant make it.keep practicing youll be ready soon.
"ive beaten strickland and fisher in athens georgia,and tied with archer in winder georgia."
Bullshit. I'll bet you can't run a 9 Ball rack to save your life.
One quick glance at your channel is all you need to know.
Anybody that is good enough to take on those 3 are going to have some signs that they're a fan of the game somewhere in their profile. You've got nothing.
Oh, and the fact that everyone posting on your channel thinks you're a moron doesn't help either...
"hey fuck face i told you were i play at so show up im not hard to find and after seeing your page your nothing more than a kiss ass so shut the fuck up and stop posting on mine."
crazyyankisback - You haven't told me 'were' you play, and you deleted your channel right after you posted your crap on my channel. You've just proven everything I said, plus you've shown what a coward you are.
hi i found you video super but i have a lot of difficulty getting out of HOOKS one band 2 bands 3 bands could you please make a video to show a technique to get out of a snooker tks in advance
It is just a simple two-finger glove. It allows the cue to slide very smoothly and controlled through your fingers. you can pick them up at any billiard shop. they help a lot. Whether youre a beginner or pro.
Keep going, just found your videos, really helpful, and I guess it'll teach most viewers(that do not have any experience with this) that positioning the cue ball is a bigger art than mere pocketing.Those are two things new players mistake the most and that's what basicly leads them the wrong way.
This drill is very humbling. It taught me a lot about my game. Mainly, my force follow shot needs a lot of work. I will keep working on it until it is mine. Keep up the good work.
And - of course; Talent, Knowledge and Skill to go with that equipment! Working on new amazing things to rock the billiard world. Stay tuned in 2009! Cheers ~ Oyster

I checked him out. He seems a bit more interested in marketing and ego than spreading pool knowledge and a love for the game. We're lucky to have you and Dr. Dave posting great instructional videos. Thank you!
Excellent instructional, and a very nice execution, on the 7-8 and getting back in line as well. Outstanding drill. as soon as I get the rail drill, I will be on this. Thank you for your work. I recommend you to everyone I meet, all the time.
this is awesome...im playin a small tourny on sunday at in a little pool hall..im gunna practice with this drill tho looks like it will help me with my speed control and angle shots a lot..great vid..5 star
awesome drill and execution!shows exactly how to relax and get back into shape without panicking.you can't always rely on perfect position.heck if the cue ball went where we wanted it to instead of where we shot it to we would all be playing for pro championships!!
Happy New Year!! Nice run out, it's going to take me some time to duplicate what you did but I guess that's why they call it practice,kudos for you my friend keep posting more vids your tips have helped me immensely!
Yeah, i know that you are because i have watched all of your'e videos ever since you started posted them. I meant that only today you have posted 2 drills.
