  • u should first teach people on how to hold the pool stick thats the first step in learning especially your bridge

  • I really appreciate you showing the "lick the felt in front of the ball where you're hitting it" trick.... I'm gonna start using that on tough cut shots.

    THKS!

  • y is there a 45 second advert in front of a minute long vid??????

  • People need to realize that the wet spot is only showing you the required CONTACT point on the object ball. The wet spot isn't where you aim the tip of your pool cue. The cue ball is 2.25" wide, so you'll need to know where to point your cue to send the cue ball on a path to CONTACT the object ball at the wet spot, compensating for the width of the cue ball. If you aim directly at the wet spot, you'll discover that none of your shots have enough angle.

  • @Shaung1231 seriously?

  • @kosta1987 There's a stick involved?

  • I love the bridge you use, it seems rare in the college where I play and I love that you have a top support to the stick. Well done, and yeah that finger-licking tip was finger-lickin' good :)

  • Some of the best players I've seen use the light that is positioned over the center of the table to help line up those shots. It really helps rather than having to imagine a line through the ball to pocket.

  • Great..... you spit on the table, the balls roll across it, and the someone else comes around and picks up the germ ridden balls...nice. I say use chalk! It's a more visible mark, and well, IT'S NOT SPIT!!

  • dusty man !!

  • germs

  • Hd quality!
