APA Dr. Cue Instruction - Dr. Cue Pool Lesson 16: Stop Shot Practice

[yukokotube]

Nice trainning tip.

[100percentoMessicano]

very good pool lessons!

[manningcues]

Measuring a stop shot can be done using the diamonds. You don't have to increase or decrease you power. Using the diamonds to measure distance can determine tip location. This can also be used for calculating shape ahead and back. increasing you speed and power can easily cause you to miss your stop shot as you will not have a consistent stroke. This video is informative however, I would not recommend learning this technique as it will cause inconsistencies.

[TheFairOH]

@manningcues You are the only person that agrees with me! i can't make anything when i try this shot

[manningcues]

@TheFairOH When playing pool you shouldn't have to up or lower your power for a stop shot within 4 diamonds of distance. Please subscribe to my channel as I will be uploading a new video on Stop shots in the next week or so. I will show you how to calculate your tip location based on the diamond distance using the same stroke. not upping or lowering your power :)

I think it's important to know how/why the cue ball stops. It MUST be sliding when it makes contact. If it's spinning or rolling you wont get a true stop. Practicing with a stripe if you don't have the fancy cue ball in this video will help animate the effect. I hope this helps someone because this is one of the most important shots in the game.

This is a good explanation of a stop shot showing the difference of how distance effects how hard and low you have to hit the cue to stop it. Different cloth and how clean the cloth is has a big effect on this shot. You have to adjust to different table conditions.

i hate these people who always have somethin smart to say bout these pool videos..got news for you, fucc off! go criticize yo own self

[dorismash1]

Great video! But I still need to know what I'm doing wrong, that when I make a long stop shot, after the cue hits my object ball, it stops spinning backward and starts rolling forward following the object ball (which has caused me to scratch on the 8, like too many times to count).

[SirNoobs]

@dorismash1 What you did was a drag shot; the cueball skids for a while and then it picks up forward roll before contact with the object ball, thus causing the cueball to have the same effects as follow. To achieve stop, you have to make sure the cueball is sliding when making contact.

And like you said, it was a long shot: the longer the shot, the more speed you need and the lower you need to cue to achieve stop. Also a good follow through stroke helps.

I tried... 6in and cue stops, drink... 12in... cue stops, drink... 18in... cue ball is red and drinking... 24in... cue blue ball is jumping over the triangle while having another drink with the left hand...

[wizemike]

I'm ready to go back to the BAr !!!!!!!!!

[lordgabb]

@wizemike to keep drinking beer? XD

[wizemike]

@lordgabb yep ! LOL

[arkangel675]

Great video...I really needed this. Awesome exercise.

I just realised this video was uploaded the day Heath Ledger died...aww man. Coincidence sucks.

[Kriterian]

Actually, it's not the spin that stops it but a lack of spin.

When you hit the center the cue ball, it actually slides across the felt with no spin until friction takes over and makes it start rolling forward.

When you stop a ball, the goal is to make the cue ball contact the object while it's still sliding. Then the cue ball transfers all it's energy to the object ball, and the cue ball stops.

[ScuzzAsh]

the lower i hit the cue. it just bounces over the ball im trying to hit depending on how close it is lol

[jeffillinois]

There are other aspects to consider as well. A properly shaped cue tip and chalking before each shot is important to avoid a mis-cue. If the tip is too "flat" then when using english, only the outside edge of the tip will contact the cue ball, increasing the likelyhood that you'll mis-cue. Make sure to use proper tools when shaping a tip, so that any shaping you do will be uniform all the way around the tip. Remember to chalk before each shot. And most importantly, don't give up! :)

[ScuzzAsh]

Thanks :P

[milsumla]

wow, now im going to practice stop shotting like this instead of stop shotting at dead center

more skills, and stop shots at every angle lol

[rckhalillb]

Why does the ball stop when he hits it too low? Shouldn't it spin backwards?

[mkiv17]

back the draw is not enough for it to draw...if he used the same draw as the last one in the first shot..the ball would have drawn...its called using the friction and sliding the ball and once it hits the object ball it stops. If you search mike massey cue ball control he will explain it much better

[japmsn]

the distance helps to reduce the spin so when it hits the other ball the cue stop, if you hit as low as on the last shot but with the distance and speed of the first shot it would come back.

[clementino07]

Cause he controls the strength of the shot to make it too soft to draw back.

[yugioh984464]

it doesnt roll back if u hit it with the right power

[hibikino]

he's not putting any more spin on the ball than is necessary to stop it.

[wiiwouldntliketoplay]

No, because you put just enough reverse english on it that when you hit it the ball stops, but you also have to hit it hard enough that without reverse english after the cue ball hits the objective ball (aka the ball your trying to hit in.) that it would normally keep going forward.

[nikeisgolf]

the lower the hit on the cue ball the more backwards spin it gets

[aznelf13]

it's not exactly a ful backspin, it's like half way, so when it hit the object ball, it loses the backspin and stops in place

[MarkMayrProductions]

im not sure,

but i think its because the backwards spinning counter-reacts to the ball moving forward, therefore meeting at a mid-point. u know wat i mean?

that why everytime he adjusts the speed and placement so they match eachother just enough to stop.

[oddvious1]

Yeah, definitely practice long distance stop shots too. It's essential if you take pool seriously. I would suggest lining up 4 balls where the first 2 diamonds on either side of the corners intersect. Place the cue ball opposite side of the table to the object ball in the straighest line you can get it. Make 24 consecutive stop shots like that every time you practice and you'll improve you stroke considerably. =]

[kalilelosmatiko]

very bad!

[iCarroller]

I knew how to stun in ages. i'd rather know how long the ball travels for

[zzzfore]

Cue ball went forward on the last shot. It would have been a great opportunity to explain how the longer it travels, the more forward spin it picks up so you have to hit lower and firmer to get a stop shot.

[bringinglove81]

good comment.

[scae123]

he did mention in the video....like for every shot

[cicero55555]

the best pool game to play is tequila pool becuase u get wasted lol- every time u miss a ball from going in the pocket u take a shot of tequila

[timkim2008]

i'm learning how to play pool. i can tell you this is something you must learn to do, especially when setting up for the next shot. practice this......

[danrelax]

very good dr cue. I love you and your lessons, improving more each day the apprentices.

thank you very much!

[AzziE89]

This is a really good way to practice cue ball control. Another variation in order to practice back spin could be to try and stop the cue ball at each chalk point consecutively.

[mmx327]

these guy is pro and seen him play hes real good

[NickAnthony991711]

l would beat this gut like a fuckin drum!

[aj4445]

thats why hes the professional and you're the what sorry?

the nobody

[tree0310]

haha yeah true that

[rrockklobsterr]

my favourite lesson of all!

[zacthegreek]

Great video!!!That is a very nice poolroom you have there!
