I have been playing for 60 years and I wish I had this as a recourse earlier in life. I don't play much anymore but it is a pleasure to find such knowledge available to future champions. Great job.

One of the best tips i know of is never to adjust your aim while you are down for a shot. If you need to adjust, always stand back up and approach the shot all over again. You covered this in the main, but this version is gr8 for beginners and to discipline your process!

Your process is phenominal! And, people don't realize the difficulty of producing a video of this quality. Well done!!!

This is pure gold. This is one of the best pool training videos out there. I am really grateful that you share your amazing knowledge with us champ

From 24:53 to 26:55 was where I had all my answers to aiming. It’s been mad difficult to see the ghost ball but just with that simple trick I can view the object ball without even doing so much! Thanks you so much for this video! It’s WONDERFUL

This is the finest pool tutorial I have ever watched. And I have viewed hundreds of videos. 😊😊

This is easily one of the best videos on aiming I've seen. I don't consider myself a beginner anymore, but I've seen nearly every video on "aiming"/shotmaking on youtube. The premise and execution of this video is clear and better defined than the others. When someone asks "how do you aim?" I'll send them this first. So much good stuff in here that took me a while to find out the hard way.

A man was telling me this the other day and I shrugged it off but I think it's what's holding me back

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you.. I really need a comprehensive beginner guide to follow episode by episode. This detailed explanation helped me to understand aiming better

I'm ready for the pool table now. I haven't played for the last 6 years and used to be pretty good but it was all trial and error, self taught and natural sense of geometry. Thanks to this video, I'm definitely going to up my game now!

Thanks for this amazing video. I have searched so many videos and non of them really talked about in this detail regarding the ghost ball and the tangent lines etc. Very informative and honestly I cant wait to go practice my new knowledge. Thanks for what you do for the community and aiding in our learning and development in the sport .

I watched this video several months ago and yesterday when I played pool again I tried to apply what I remembered... And it was amazing! My aim improved drastically! Thank you!

I started playing 55 years ago, I learned that it's easier to learn from watching other players an improving your knowledge of the game than just hitting balls without studying the mechanics and fundamentals of pool. Everyone needs sometime alone on the table to work on their weaknesses, improvement always follows examination and review. Great video.

This is the BEST video I ve ever seen regarding aiming ,he correct on many levels,he's giving you half of what you need to know,very very important.

wow thank you so much. For years ive had arthritits and my shaky hands wouldnt allow me to properly aim. Once i listened to you and stabilized my core it was like i was brought back to my youth. I truly thank you

You have about the best teaching skills I've ever studied. Your ability to deliver what you want to us students is excellent! You talk slow enough that I can take good notes. Once again, you are an an excellent teacher. A student from Tulsa,Oklahoma !!!!!

Outstanding video! Having enjoyed pool and golf for decades there is one fundamental truth in both sports. A pre-shot routine is mandatory for any chance of accuracy and consistency. I haven't picked up a cue for several years but I'm getting back into the game. Thanks for all the great info!

My progress was slow many years ago as a kid in the pool hall because I didn't know how to practice. I would do just what he said. Mistake #1: Throw the balls on the table and start shooting them in. Better to shoot one shot ten times than ten shots once. Mistake #2: I would shoot a missed shot over until I made it....once. Shoot a missed shot until you make it 5 times in a row. Mistake #3: Aim once I got down over the ball. Often my feet were in the wrong place. Get your cue stick on line and move your body to it, not the other way around. Mistake #4: I was more concerned with having a good bridge than a good stroke. Stroke is 100 times more important than your bridge. (make that 1000) Unfortunately, I didn't learn that I was doing it all wrong until I was in my 50s. Now I am trying to outrun father time relearning things correctly. It is difficult to unlearn bad habits.

Fabulous instruction. After playing pool myself for about a million years, I learned several new and highly useful things from this gtrat video! Thank you ... thank you :)

I knew if I kept looking I would fine it...THIS video has COMPLETELY changed my pool game. A million thank yous for this!!!

If I only got one take-a-way from this video it would be @14 minutes or so, when he talks about treating every shot aiming at the CENTER OF THE POCKET. "This habit will make shooting the longer and more difficult shots a lot easier". Great stuff!!!

Excellent video. You are a great teacher. So much good info in this video, and presented in an easy to understand format. Thank you for all the work that went into making it. 🙏

Thank you for making this video! I’ve been playing for years but have been struggling to help my wife…I had her watch this video once and she immediately not only started making harder shots…but she enjoyed the next session much more. I also have found your clear instructions and whimsical additions helpful to my game. Thanks again, I’ll be watching everything you put out.

By far the best pool aiming video I have ever watched. This is what I will be sending all my friends.

I have put this in a special folder i keep for videos and information that really is exceptional . . that i want to be able to go back too . Im not suprised to see the type of comments I briefly glanced at just now. . A terrific body of work that impresses.and you will learn and be inspired Thank you Tor . Youve helped me greatly for a long time Dexter

Absolutely the best instructional video I have seen anywhere. Amazing presentation.

This video COMPLETELY changed my game. Cheers sir hope u live long enough to educate more passionate people for the game. ❤

I've watched many aim method videos. This is the one I found most helpful. Thank you.

Wow! I purchased 9 feet pool tabele to home to practise my game. I follow a lot of pool players on the yt but only your video is full of useful information and you teach very well. Thank you for sharing this info, I just subscribed your channel. Greatings from Czech Republic.

Hey Bob, I just wanted to leave a comment to let you know that you have helped another pool player with your no-nonsense video. It was complicated enough to be very interesting for a novice like myself but also in the same breath it was fun with some great tips that as a pool player I hadn't even thought of. So Bob thank you for the great video and hats off to you mate Cheers Brenden

perfect, this feels like science.

Thanks for introducing me to some new ideas to help my game and reminding me of basic principles which I have been slacking on. I will definitely be a new subscriber!

My god... thank you for making this video. I've always been so inconsistent with my visualization of the ghost ball... I never thought about aiming at a part of the object ball.

I just started playing a few months ago after a coworker gave me a new McDermott cue! I have been learning so much. I just can’t believe how complex it all is considering it seems like such a simple game. I love it

Thank you SOOO MUCH!!! BOB! This one video has brought so much clarity to the fundamentals I needed to improve my game I’m grateful and I’m a fan I’ve definitely liked and subscribed. This has been more informative than any video I’ve come across even from actual pros!

Best, "How to" on the subject, I've seen yet! Thank you!

Fantastic video! Thank you! Now on to the table to practice all the great information you provided!

I've been playing pool for 40 years. This is the best aim video I've ever seen. I've got a fractional ball aiming video with like 30k views. This is VERY comprehensive and well organized and presented!

Beautifully executed explanation, thank you for your hard work!

I found this information very useful to my game and I have to say it's one of the best tutorials to point out what has to be done to execute a great pool shot

I had to bookmark this this video. I will watch this over and over . There are so many things I took for granite. Best tutorial that I have seen.

Man, thanks alot. I appreciate the breakdown on terminology that I couldn't figure out and some other stuff others just couldn't break down in lay terms. You did a fantastic job. Getting my masking tape out right now... 😁

this video so underrated to the amount of information it have, this type of video usually end up on patreon or similar for paid viewer. thankyou for your kindness hope this channel growth

Damn. This makes me realize that I have never understood how to properly line up a pool shot, and that every shot I’ve ever made was a lucky mis-hit.

Very nice! I'm a visual learner and this video is perfect for visual learners. Thank u!

Holy crap. I’ve been playing for more than 40 years. For about a 15 year period, I was pretty good. I haven’t played regularly for the last 10 years or so. When I do go, every shot now seems so difficult. I miss so many previously easy shots. Through this video, I’m learning I’ve been aiming wrong. During the window when I was good, it was all feel and I was on autopilot. Now that the feel is gone, I have to line everything up, BUT I’VE BEEN LINING UP MY AIM WRONG. It’s not easy admitting that after 40 years, but I guess that’s half the battle.

As a PBIA certified instructor, BRAVO!!!!! Best explanation on the internet I have seen. I will Say this however, which is take a look at Auto Aim (aiming system created by Randy Goettlicher). if you ask me Jr’s more of an alignment system than an aiming system technically speaking (in my opinion), but If we are being real aligning perfectly on a shot IS AIMING. It cuts out many of the steps involved you have on this video, and as we all know… the less steps needed the better when it comes to this sport.

This is the best video about pool aiming I have ever watched! Thank you.

Definitely the best explained video I've seen ! Thank u👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤

Excellent presentation. The author of this had my strict attention 30 seconds into his turorial. I have been playing 50 years.

Very well explained..definitely gonna look at this several more times, before I go to practice. Hopefully next week? I've not been in a pool hall, since early March last year.

This is the information I've been looking for for years. Thanks, man!

This is such a great video for intermediate players. I’ve just recently started to get a feel for targeting and this vid gave me some great practice ideas

I'm just starting to learn cut shots. This video will help guide me to achieve the critical success skills I need. This afternoon, I layed out the tape and ball spots on my table to begin training. Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain a methodical appoach to learning and executing this fundamental skill.😊

Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together. I am a brand new player and this really helped me.

Great video thanks for taking the time to point out those few important tings in a list of hundreds on the to do list for a shot.

The best advice on aiming and ghost ball and the associated angles that I've ever seen! U r an excellent communicator as well as instructor! KUDOS

Exactly what I was searching for a long time. 😮 Perfect tutorial video. Thanks a ton! 🙏

You are great teacher. I don't get to play that often, but I'm sure I'm 100% better next round.

I started playing not long ago. This video is very useful. I appreciate how educational and easy to understand the video is. I loved the sound and visual effects. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤

I'm a beginner and play with a couple of people that are better than me. They definitely offer some great tips but this is just what I needed. I assumed my "aim" was incorrect and wanted to fix it. This gives me great insight on what I need to practice on-rather than just hitting balls at random. Thanks for this awesome video!

It took me forever to learn to aim as I had an impossible time seeing the ghost ball. I wish I had learned that cue stick measurement sooner. That was an incredible way to see the aim point.

great advise , love the part to align , put cue in center of ghost ball , gonna give that a try to get correct contact spot .

Great video! Logical and easy to understand - even for a someone like me whose first language is not English. Thanks for that - it helps me a lot to improve my game.

Great video! I've never really seen it broken down that way. I'd like to see more like this covering different aspects.. banks shots, english, etc...

Thanks Tom for sharing your vast knowledge with us who are eager to learn. That was a beautiful shot

One of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen!

This is great! Learning how to learn to aim on your own.

I just started play a few months ago with several ladies at a senior center! We have fun but most of us are new to the game. So I listened to your video a few times for it all to sink in. Ready to go and learn, and maybe help a few others, too! Great video and explanations!

Great video Thank you for the hard work and allowing us to have some of your knowledge.

This was the best video I’ve seen thus far! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video

What a great video! Provides solid ideas to build on! Well done!

Very nice. This is by far the best intro video on youtube. Thanks for your time.

this is excellent! thanks for taking to time to do this 👏🏻

I'm an amateur snooker player, and I can tell you that this will help me too...Thanks for uploading this!

This is brilliant! The best instructional video I've ever seen on pool.

Thanks for explaining the technical terms and sharing your knowledge...

New subscriber here. I never comment on videos, but I have to say this is the most informative video I have come across on this subject. It has helped me very much. Thank you sir.

This video is amazing! I’ve just started playing pool, I’m not sure if it is too soon to say but I’ve fallen in love with the game. Now, I at least know what to work on in order to get better instead of just winging it.

Great technical analysis of how it all works. Accurate visualization is key to making the shot, as long as the delivery is consistently good. I imagine a beam going through my cue to the position of the ghost ball.

This video confirmed my thoughts on why I miss relatively easy shots. I rush easy shots and miss a lot. I can make a long cut pretty easily with no apparent problem. My line up on the hard shots is the difference in my sucess or failure on a shot.

KISS❤️ Great job on simplifying the basics of learning how to aim. I didn’t see any mention of quality of stroke but maybe that is too advanced for the purpose of this video. Smooth acceleration of the tip through the contact point on the cue ball affects both pocketing and position. When I was watching Jason’s early attempts at breaking the world 14.1 record, most of the shots he may missed were caused by de-acceleration while attempting to hold the cue ball.

Thanks for taking your time to make this content and teaching others.

Very well formatted, exhibited and great articulation. Thank you. The how to practice was very good. I'm heading for the table.

Just an awesome video. I in the beginning sought lessons. I heard hit a million balls!! Yes, I soon found hitting them wrong just magnifies the problem. Not knowing what to do I ordered Stan Schuffets Pro One cd. So I immediately got better fast. Then I hit the plateau and needed help. Stan is very gracious to help but he is out of State. Tyler Styer was at a tournament in Sacramento. I heard we have the same coach Stan. I was amazed we spent 5 hours together. It brought me up another 25%. Yet, he was gone and I was still needing that help. I still need help. lol This video helped me seeing the 30 line. Pro one has preceptions that place you on the contact spot. Yet if you have the wrong perception your shot is off. I wanted to thank you for again this video, along with what I am training with will be another huge training device for my pursuit of playing some really great pool. Well done!

I have a game tonight but trust after watching this am more good to go 💪🙏

Fantastic video. Thanks so much. Great job. That closed bridge you have is interesting.

Great video. I struggle with aiming on angle cuts. This should help.

Well apply this learning later this week. Me and my buddy is going to play billiard next days. Thanks a lot man

Incredibly informative, thank you

I'm impressed with the details explained in this video...👍👍👍

Years ago when I played in leagues and tournaments I found this booklet written by Willie Moscone in the 1950's. I was suffering from inconsistencies. I basically tore down everything I knew and followed the books advice. It took a year to "unlearn" my bad habits but I was averaging 2 more balls pocketed per round after.

This is the nerdiest video on pool I've ever seen and I love it! I've been looking for this video for weeks and it finally came up on my recommend list.

I look forward to getting a copy of your book, Thank You for a very informative video. 🎱

I just saw this video again, my pool game has improved even though, I only play once a week or every other week. The process sounds good & giving small bites at a time to chew on. The brain can handle the info better for long time memory. I recall after working in Precision sheetmetal for over 2 yrs, I could visualize 3 thousandths of an inch!! Good training video.

Great video ! Good explanation! Going tomorrow to my first pool training

Man, so well explained 👏🏻 This video is awesome

Your teaching are very helpful for everyone, thank for your!

Thank you for the best informative video on playing pool I have seen

Great content 👍. Thank you, sir!
