How to Play & Win 9 Ball Pool : Nine Ball Pool Push Out Strategy

[Siaulietiz]

@azoldtime09 wtf? i would easily jump that. whats the problem?

[azoldtime09]

@Siaulietiz well it could ruin the felt.

[Siaulietiz]

best push out is to leave easy jump.

[azoldtime09]

@Siaulietiz no dork, your opponent will pass it to you, and you jump the cue-ball, then that's a foul/scratch.

[keith111373]

the best push out is to leave a top shelf shot that you can make and you don't think you opponent can make

[keith111373]

this would be a good shot to put on a novice player. although a good player would come back with a good safety behind the six and seven

[lemonite1]

when you push out, 1.try and leave alot of distance(This makes return safety difficult)

2.let them see the ball(if you hide, they'll give it back to you). 3.Don't be scared to give them a shot wherein if they make it they don't have position on the next ball.

4.learn the kick safety.

what's to stop my oponent from tapping the cue ball and once again leaving me with the shot?

there's no such thing a push out, you HAVE to touch the ball your shooting at or else it's a scracth...or at least that's what I've been tought

[kesbiee]

The push out can ONLY be taken on the shot following the break. i.e only 1 push out per rack. If you choose not to push out after the break then no one can declare a push out until the next rack.

snore.....HUH whaa....oh sorry i stopped giving a shit 6 months ago.

[kesbiee]

Then why reply...?

@spiiiderman unless you're in a tournament I'm pretty sure the push-out is relatively unknown/frowned upon, but it is legal. If you're playing for money in a bar and don't want to get hurt, however, I wouldn't suggest it.

I've been playing pool constantly for twenty five years or so and have never even heard the term push out. Typically we have to make an attempt to hit the object ball and either make it or hook them.

I'll bring the idea of push out to some of the other players next time I'm in a tournament or among friends. Are there any special rules to pushing out like having to hit two rails or anything like that?

[spvn]

lol i've been playing it for only 3 years and i've already heard of it..

Anyway the only rule for a push-out as far as i can tell is that you can ONLY push out when you do not have full "view" of the object ball, ie part of the ball is blocked by another ball. it need not be a full ball block, as long as you cant see even A TINY BIT of the ball, you can push out.

Also, you can even pot balls on push outs if you want to, no foul either.

[300BC]

Thanks Spvn, the people I play with don't go for pushing out because they consider it bowing out, I wouldn't mind myself because it would add interest back to the game with something different.

Most of the people I shoot with would jump the three here stopping the cue for a shot up table and so on, game over. I'm still getting good at jumping, massa is more my thing but wouldn't work here.

[daw8wang]

im pretty sure that's not true. you may push out whenever you see fit. even if you have an open table, and you want to push out, no one can stop you.

most people just generally prefer to play a safe or try the shot if they can see the whole ball.

Regardless of the mindless absurdity of some of the previous comments, I would like to commend you for taking the time and energy to put together a video that illustrates the basic concepts of a push-out; information that will undoubtedly be useful for beginners to the sport. I think it's pretty obvious that this was the intention of the video, and it's a shame that these jackasses don't appreciate that.They are clearly not sportsmen and obviously know little about what they are commenting on.

[jackeees]

lol :D that is some funny expert! hey buddy boy, thanks for you lesson, but i am sure there is something else you can do better ;)

[DennisMindreci]

no offence, but you have no idea about squat...

[silentguff]

How can you idiots say that? He's explaining how to use a technique not so many people are familiar with. I wasn't sure how the rules of a push out in 9 ball worked so I looked it up here.

It was helpful and now I understand, so how you can say he has no idea is just stupid.

[Jnaz84]

Perhaps the children of your local elementary school would be impressed with you, however I second the fact that you're an idiot.

Good push-up or not so good push-up, because, a prof can pocket some ball anyway, for example - 6th ball through 2 ball or 2 ball it self in far corner pocket!

[amnesia702]

A professional player would NEVER attempt such a reckless and rewardless shot. In fact, even a SLIGHTLY competent player would know that attempting a safety is the only intelligent option in this situation.

[madwhitejamaican]

you just gave him ball in hand great job!!!!!

[phixxwutwut]

you sir, are an idiot.
