Every pro should do a video like this. I loved hearing about the gear ur using and getting the insight of what a pro is doing while they do a practice session.the commentary after the fact I think works great. That way ur not interrupting ur practice session

Another solid self commentary vid from Mad Max himself. Hey pal, good stuff for those listening. Keep up the good play and work to the pool community

The more I watch your videos, the more I realize that there’s so many little things that you put together to form a good stroke. How you hold the cue, the angle of your wrist, your follow through, your elbow position, your backswing, etc. I notice that on my backswing I have a habit of pulling my hand away from my body, I guess it’s to compensate for the cue to pass by my hip so it won’t bump it. I constantly have to practice pulling the cue back straight and sometimes it gets on my nerves so bad. Like you said, it’s practice practice practice! Thank you Max!

I used to shoot at pool sharks a couple nights per week. Griff’s was a huge upgrade. No smoke and a really well done pool hall. I hang out at Red Shoes these days in Illinois. Not as nice as Griff’s but a really cool place with good people.

John Filax sent me. FE brother here. I also am a.member of Dave Weiss fe moon zodiac clock app

I really enjoy the verbal run throughs and reminders

Thanks a lot for sharing this video, Max. Very useful! Every chance you can to describe where you're hitting on the cue ball will really help us enhance our position play.

One of the best in the business in my opinion! Great job as always brother! 👍😊 🎱

You make it look easy Max! After all the millions of balls you probably hit in your life! I would advise people trying to learn the game to get Max's books and videos! It will definitely speed up your progress. Keep it up Mighty Max, or Mad Max or M and M. You have Helped me a lot with my draw stroke due to your video which as you said really is the best draw stroke video! Thanks a lot man

This is pure gold.

@13:10 imo subconscious 'memory bank' is one of the most overlooked/under highlighted aspects of billiards. Awesome videos Max! Thank you.

Hello Max. I recently discovered your channel and I have to say how great your videos are and the simplistic way you explain things. Your teaching style and explanations are SO EASILY understood by someone such as myself. I am a fairly decent novice player trying my very best to step up my game in order to advance to the next level. I just recently purchased a very nice brand new Meucci cue $$$$$. I also just found, and purchased, a beautiful slightly used Spencer Marston 8' Stratford pool table for my house that I got for 1/10th of its retail value!!! I am also very glad that you too prefer Meucci cues which makes me feel that much better about them and what I paid for one (ouch!!...lol). I love my new Meucci. There is definitely a learning curve involved vs. playing with the cheap Walmart special $29 dollar cues that I've been using for quite awhile..lol. Learning the natural pivot point (NOT the balance point) of this new Meucci cue, in order to take advantage of its low deflection 12.5mm pro shaft, has made a daylight and dark difference in controlling the cue ball should I slightly mishit it during a bit more powerful stroke when needed (I hope I am explaining this correctly and it makes sense....:) I am also very interested in experimenting with the weight of my new Meucci, which is exactly 19.4 oz., but I'm just not exactly sure how to go about doing that without affecting the playing characteristics of the cue as you mentioned in this video. Anyway, thank you for the great videos and please keep them coming!!! Thanks!

i realy love these videos Max! keep them coming

I enjoyed your video and your expertise.Thanks for sharing, i get a lot of help in understanding a little more about my needs. Very valuable.

Just back from Vegas Max. Wish I'd had more time to play Bangin Ballz was the closest to me. Finally practiced some yesterday, it was those steep cut shots I had to keep working on and repeating. Thanks for the great content here.

Great video Max, very helpful!

your trainer looks like efren lmao

Thanks Max and stay crazy ! 😉 You are appreciated.

Keep up the good work Max! Still gotta make plans to meet up again one day

More of this please. Its good to learn how you see the game unfolding and ehats in your head as you go along

Looks like you got your knife out and just started cutting away. Keep up the hard work.

Hey Max, What advantage is there in using a cue extension? How long is your extension?

thank you max! joe rogan fav pool player!

Are you aligning the cue ball on the 1st diamond on the short rail and the 2nd diamond on the long rail for breaking? And would that also apply for 8ball? Great vid any feedback is welcomed

Hi Max, I am curious what shaft you are playing on your cue. Is it a normal solid maple or a low deflection one?

What helps me with the cut shots like this, is to make sure the power is towards the end of your stroke, (aka perfect timing). Take all the punch out of the hit and incorporate a super smooth delivery. Everything slow and steady up until that point. Really, this should be done on all of the shots, but it is critical on sharp cuts. Sorry for the criticism Max, I love you, but that quick backstroke will make those cut shots much harder to make.

Man I miss Griff's & Hard Tymes... Be well, Al-Fu

Hi I cant get the website to load I was interested. Says cant provide a secure connection.

Hi Max! So if I heard right , you don't have much of a backswing because the table is so fast? Wouldn't that lead to a jerky or poke stroke? Especially for us amateurs

will boaring out the inside of the cue extension remove the added deflection since the extension is now lighter?

What kind of glove are you using?

please put what english or spin you use thanks

Great tips! The Earth is still a globe btw.

Is that Efren Reyes giving you tips?
