  • @9SuperMonkeyBall0 no offense though, you know that force/power is not really the factor of a good stroke right? And besides drawing from that short of distance, a bebinner can just jack the stick up and do that easily. There's a reason why the majority of people here said that it's not a good stroke

  • @s1llyvi3tb0i I meant hard by a lot of power.

  • @s1llyvi3tb0i then in that case, it's amazing how the 10-ball went from one side, to the other.

  • @9SuperMonkeyBall0 lol nah, it's not a complete follow, a complete stroke can never be "hard and fast", it has to be smooth which is obviously not the case here

  • @s1llyvi3tb0i yes he did, he did it real fast and hard, can you see the 10-ball roll on the other side, if he didn't use 100% follow through, the 10 ball would've never had made to the other side of the table.

  • i've never tried pool... but I've tried backward English. Hehe.

  • @pirocan1 Hell no! My first cue i bought had one. I hated it and ended up buying a quality playing cue and used the wooden tip as a break cue till I could afford a real one.

  • do you stroke a 100 times when you play a normal game of pool because i would make fun of you the whole time and i would probably half to pack a lunch to play you or i would starve to death or die from boredom!!!!!!!!!!

  • @joewizard100

    lol

    I guess draw is too short of a word.

  • The best things to gain from any videos by this guy are common flaws most people don't know they have. For example, watch how he readjusts his bridge hand while he is down on the shot, and then stays down and shoots. A lot of players do this, and it is a really bad habit. You really shouldn't be repositioning your bridge hand without standing back up and resetting your aim. Also, you should learn a little bit about the game before calling yourself an "Expert" and making a shitty video.
