Good video, but kick shots being level 8 and jump shots being level 13 makes it sound like jump shots are more difficult. You can learn to jump reliably in an afternoon. Mastering kicking takes years

i think the jump shot is way easier than the massé shot, anyone else?
@L_E_L_0_U_PAbsolutely love playing pool. Every now and then I’ll visit my old roommates where I went to college, there’s a bar there with a few pools tables and we’ll always beat the other college kids that try to put money on it lmao

@JoeG71299The only shot you need is the break shot.
When all balls get pocketed you win.
Uhhhmmm...Bank Shot is way easier than the Kick Shot described.
@Jirik13Best billiard video ever
@GilmourizedReally great tutorial
@davidclemens8050Very helpful. I watched this, practiced a lot, and won 2nd place in a 9-ball doubles tournament. 👍
@KellyClarkDIn my teenage years I had won a few local tournaments in lake Isabella, California the two summers I went up to visit. I just played,on my 43 years on this planet. I had fun with family and realizing I needed this video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 lol
@lyricalempires6804Only American retards could come up with the concept of jumping over balls, I'm a bit surprised they can't pick the balls up and throw them into the pockets
@leedaniels14681:40 wait how does he make the ball vanish he didnt explain
@SiliconRepairBro thanks for explaining the dots im always just tryna eyeball it now I know know its 10 and just have to half it on the other side I know will def help (been playing about 2 times a week every week for about 2 yrs give or take just ur average player these levels really helped)
@prpunk187Wow what a great teacher. Thank you!
@Marcelo-un6kuWatching this made me realize I was trying level 7 stuff without learning level 2 😅
@jacobhorne1112I can't wrap my head around the kick shot explanation....
@nia232This should have been a interview while we play sort of vid, it's way to static. Good info but sorta dull.
@HorseplayArchivesPool: a game that requires the first player to set themself up to lose, by breaking the balls wide open so their opponent can run the table on them. 👍🙃
@lilithmatriarch7509Haha level 14 the break....proceeds to scratch on break.
Honestly break is easier than masse....and also spin transfer should be taught before masse....example: 2 balls in line to a pocket you can shoot hard with a ton of bottom which will transfer opposite to first ball contacted, in this case putting top spin on that ball so that it will follow the second after hitting it, sinking both. Another common use of side spin transfer is for bank shots, think of what spin you would add to just the cue ball to get it going where you want....then add opposite spin so that the intended spin transfers to object ball and it bounces off rail as you want. Another side spin use is for really thin cuts ALONG the rail put side spin on the inside of ball you wish to cut (left if you hitting on right side of ball and making it go left), then when you shoot, you actually want the cue ball hit the rail ever so slightly split second before so that the side spin forces cue ball in that left direction...gives you a much better cut for thin shots. Last side spin tip, you can use it to cheat pockets. By using side spin, when it contacts object ball, that ball will move slightly opposite which call really help you cutting into pockets, and / or making it so you can actually aim slightly off for better cue ball positioning on following shot
Looking at tony his one eye has become small, by looking fron one eye at balls play with both eyes open
@Did-U-Notice_What.I.GazeAtThere's just something so beautiful about an expert talking all about their passion.
@DaihuuI've been playing billiards for almost 4 decades, and like golf, every rack is different, and it's a game that very few have mastered.
@LongIslandDad1000th comment lol
@someminecraftplayer8557Um
@someminecraftplayer8557Every time I try to do a draw shot the ball jumps and idk how to fix that 😞
@ComedyCliche-y1hI went to the pool bar my dad and his friends go a couple of night ago, everybody was super friendly and gave me all kinds of tips, that being said i have about say maybe 1000 hs on a pool table (throughout all my life) and that night the second guy with more hours than me had probably 30.000, i played about 11 games the other night, i literally not only lost every single one, but the guys who i was playing against were going SO EASY ON ME, just giving away shots, now i know what it feels like to download a game and log into the pro lobby only to ger boddied into the ground...it was still alot of fun everybody was super friendly...
@devastationofmankind3495oh this is american pool the pockets are huuuuuuge wow !

@Nairolf0007In snooker as well, do those same rules apply, for pocketing the balls ?

@jennyleung92This man is such a gifted instructor I honestly believe he could teach fractions to ADHD kids with dyscalculia.
@Theomite6:10 this graphic is wrong you don't look on the green you look at the wooden border because the ball will pick up running spin
