I hate billiards. As soon as I answer one question it begs for two more to be answered and those answers aren’t concrete. However, people like yourself provide enough tools to let you get the job done and reality check you along the way in the short amount of time that they have. Perfect learning environment, that’s reasonable, practical and based in reality rather than click bait. You’re doing the lords work out here. Much love from south east England 👍👍

I'm almost 40 and pool has been my favorite game since I was a kid. I feel like I'm pretty good, but still fall short of my potential because I think I rely too much on intuition alone. I often get frustrated when things don't go the way I "feel" like they should, when really I ought to be studying the principles more and applying that knowledge. I just found your channel by chance and the way you explain all the details in context with various examples is great; you're teaching crucial info that for me is filling in some of the remaining gaps in my understanding - like with the stalling cue ball on force follow shots. That's something that would leave me scratching my head in a game, but when you stop to think about the physics, it makes perfect sense.

Another thing I learned from listening to Mr Strickland is bend your knees more on the force follows. It will allow you to get the cue way closer to level and prevent squirt/miscues on extreme top spin.

I can’t get down low & over my cue anymore but I do enjoy your instructions and give me more to look forward to, thank you so much. You’re a blessing. Specially, for people like me. I really appreciate how everyone is so positive in their replies. With that said, you know your really helping us little guys. You are truly a blessing!!!

So in this video you mention that you should not be using the center of your tip to contact the cue ball when doing these English shots. I don't know why I'm just now learning how this works?! You saying this has really tightened down my aiming! Now I visualize the cue tip as the face of a cue ball and I'm making contact with opposite side of the English I'm using. So if I'm using low left English then I'm contacting with the top right of my cue tip. If I'm using straight left I'm contacting with right side of my tip. And any variation of English I'm now aiming with the opposite point on my tip. And now that I'm pinpointing better the contact point my line of aim is more accurate. And this knowledge instantly helped me kick some ass last night. My teammate warned me that the guy I was playing named Junkyard was no joke. She told me to put my big boy pants on. First game...Smoked him. Then i broke dry and he had 2 shots after that. When when setting up the 8 ball I misjudged the speed on my position and scratched. He had one ball left. Gave him a win even though I out shot him. 3rd game was the story I just finished on your banking with English video. This league is best out of three. A non sanctioned neighborhood travel league in Detroit. If you ever get up here you should come play a game for us!

When players see me do that they ask me how to do it an I tell them to just do everything the same no matter which hand has the cue. Well done thanks again.

Another great video and this one is very relevant to my game. I need to practice the force follow shot. I have a good follow, but the force follow is inconsistent. I probably need to relax my grip, so I will add a little time to practice for this. Been neglecting it for a while now honestly. Thanks for a great video Bryan!

@jeraldlowe6488 Жыл бұрын

Good stuff. Would have liked to see the corner shot with some right(or left) on it. I’ll try it myself. Never realized difference between force and how a regular follow will bring those shots back down table, versus force getting stuck. Always worried a regular follow won’t have enough energy to get back down rail, and end up hitting force follow and getting stuck. Thanks.

the problem sometimes is you're aiming higher on the cue ball and when you finally hit the cue ball, you either actually hit middle or lower of the cue ball.

Thank you Brian...your content is great and much appreciated. I didnt realize how quiet the house is at 7a.m. with everyone sleep. I wanted to practice a few rail shots before going to bed. Trying to be quiet or not as loud prevents me from just taking the shot. Also I took a page from your book. I let me daughter come in the loft while I practice and do whatever she wants within reason. That has helped alot. Thanks for all you do.

@richerwin6397 Жыл бұрын

Brian, I've been playing pool for about 10 yrs now. I've developed extreme accuracy in my cut shots, automatically compensation for throw in my instinctive aim. In watching your videos I realize there is benefit to adding English in some hard shots to get more action on the CB. I can't bring myself to try it when I compete because the deflection seems unpredictable and variable depending on the strength of the shot, the cue type, etc. I would need to relearn my instinctive aim to adjust for the deflection. I'm 61 and am guessing that I've "grooved" my lower efficiency system?

Great video!!! Was wondering why many of the pros aim so low on the cueball almost touching their tip on the table, even when they follow the ball? Thanks!!

@FXBilliards Жыл бұрын

When you see someone aim low on a follow shot, it’s usually a drag shot. And the reason they aim so low is that’s the correct contact point for most stop shots draw shots, stop shots and drag shots - amateur player hit the ball far too high on those shots because they tend to miscue from not having a good stroke. It’s also why so many amateurs can’t shoot a strong draw shot- they can’t hit the ball low enough consistently. Thanks for watching

Hi new Sub. I have not used force follow, except on accident & it worked well to get shape. I had no idea what I did. I'm an active intermediate player. Do a lot of watching videos to understand the game better & shoot 3-4 times a week. This was very helpful, I would luv to go to a camp or Billiards Bootcamp, if you know of any?

@FXBilliards 2 ай бұрын

With force follow, the cue, ball spins in place for just a fraction of a second more before moving forward. It’s simply a follow shot with more force behind it. Think draw stroke versus stop stroke.
