    Boom boom boom

  • LMAO...thanks, I never noticed....reminds me of the all time classic sports reporter...."and Boom goes the dynamite" Thanks I needed a laugh, even at my own expense.

  • You got a terrible stance bro, your body should be straight. everything should be striaght and you gotta get down lower helps you see where your hitting the ball and where.

  • I have a crushed disk in my back, and recovered from ripped tendons in my wrist. i am lucky to be able to bend that far.

  • Just a few corrections if I may.

    The upper arm does not have to be parallel to the ground.

    The forearm ideally would be 90 degrees up from the slate RIGHT BEFORE THE tip makes contact with the cueball.

    Your stroke is FLINCHY. You don't flinch .

    It should be smooth. The tip would DIP after contacting with the cueball b/c you don't drop your elbow.

  • Good points, ideally, teaching proper form and stroke is how you should start out. Old dogs like myself are set in our ways, or have no other choice how to stroke, and we have adapted to our style. I would love to go back and be able to have picture perfect form. Do not let the way someone strokes fool you, pool and golf are similar in that way. I have seen the ugliest swings produce the most beautiful shots. I always say, find what works and improve on it. Thanks.

  • the guy talking on this vid works wonders if u dub it over some german gay porn.

  • i appreciate wat ur trying to do but for example when you cover where to grip the cue you are to vague. you basically say grip it wherever. i see ppl all the time gripping it at the very end of the butt. the best starting point it to balance the cue on two fingers. wherever the balance point of the cue is move about four inches towards the butt and then fine tune it from there. this could be the end of the wrap or at the very top of the wrap

  • Nice Video...Hey Everyone Check Out My Pool Tutorials.....o and subscribe!

  • thats like saying anyone can fit in a hyundai LOL

  • @poolplayinghack bend knees? :[

  • @bone6966 just to let u know... deuel is playing even with reyes... reyes cant give him weight anymore and has been that way for a couple years now... just saying

  • u should work on bank pool because ur stance that u use is a good higher view for banks and kicks

  • @poolplayinghack u will never be able to stroke the cue ball around the table as much if u dont have a full stroke. u can say ugly gets a beautiful response but at the same time if ur not cheating ur full stroke ur not getting a full stroke... as far as the guy who said u need to bend all they way down well look at mike massey. he is a champion player in artistic and 8ball pool. he has a beautiful full stroke though. ur only getting about 60% of urs. just a slight adjustment and ur fine
