From an old dude,who used to play pretty good pool, to a young dude who is by far superior, I enjoy your videos to the max. Thank you.

I love how this dude tries to miss and then nails the shot

Best advice i have gotten for shooting long, straight in shots.....is to pretend the object ball isn't there, and aim the cueball for the middle of the pocket.

Thank you, I appreciate your relaxed approach and have learned so much from you. You have given me so many pointers that my pool playing has improved a lot and we are now having family tournaments. Even my husband says that I now have potential.

Good on you mate ~ like your relaxed modest approach. So many Utubers are so full of themselves and just waffle on forever but you demonstrate your natural talent combined combined with endless practice. Keep up the good work. We need more contributers like you...

Alot of funny characters in this comment section paying too much attention to the mans sense of fashion and cleanliness instead of what hes teaching FOR FREE on the pool table.

Being. Playing. 4 over 40years. But. Learnt. So. Much. From. This. Guy. He’s. Amazing. Thank. You. Mate

Great help with my straight shots. I couldn't understand why I kept missing these "easy" shots. Thank you.

This was so helpful. I just started playing and didn't realize how hard these shots are. I am going to do the tip drill

These are the shots I struggle with the most... But they look so easy.

The best teacher in pool I have ever seen! thanks Depree!

Excellent video. I've always had a weakness for straight shots with a lot of felt between the cue ball, and you did a great job breaking down why.

Excellent video!! Just what i was looking for..the best one i've seen

Ty for your videos. I love them. Very well done

Thanks bud you just brought my game to another level in just 10 Min.

Awesome bro. Appreciate the knowledge

Your videos are very imformative. I have picked up a lot of tips from them. I think I would not be the only one to say that I think it would be better from a watching point of view to see the view from behind the ball, maybe use 2 cameras, or just film from behind you.

Subscribed. I’m getting a pool table this year so I can become a legend.

@Dupree Trickshots I got it! Bruh you need a GoPro attached to your head, I think that would give a great POV

thanks man, picking up new tricks!

Thanks Dupree. Your videos are a big help. I am still struggling with the masse'

Mr Dupree... we add to the straight in shot, from cue to rail & back, by adding an object ball. When you can hit the object ball, it hits the rail comes back & hits the cue ball & the cue ball comes back straight... THAT IS A STRAIGHT SHOT Enjoy.... I enjoy your videos.

Great advise. Cheers mate!

enjoy your vid's. Subscribed!

I use inside English on those straight in rail shots but I aim just very slightly to the rail side (inside) of the object ball and not the outside as you suggest. Works to counteract the left deflection of the right inside English.

Really interesting! 👏🏼👏🏼

Great video buddy. Thanks

Another Great Video... Thank you so much...

Yeah, sometimes when I'm play pool, I'm shooting with the cue behind myself, as you was doing it in this video.

Thank you kid, you’re helping me

dude, good lesson... one video and I subscribed

Great job!

Great tips

Awesome tips!

Ohhh damn ! You are a good teacher

a challenge...take the both balls on the rail shot...go to the short rail...like the shot similar to the longer rail shot...but don't just make it....reverse it ...with the spin....hard enough that it draws back hits the long raile and brings it to the other end at the opposite short rail....its fine tuned shot...AND excellent stroke..

Thank u good advice.

great tips

Thanks for uploading this video brother, I've been struggling with this issue now and it's really frustrating when I feel I have the perfect shot, but then the object ball goes in the direction I don't want it to go. It can be really frustrating. Well I have to practice your drills now since I'm a beginner. Just wondering though, does the same concept work when the there's a longer distance between the cue ball and the object ball? Thanks in advance and I liked and subscribed, keep up the great content.

Thanks man!

Decent video. Thank you

Try shooting the down the rsil shot using oversize bar room cueball or the under sized cueball used over in England and that shot becomes a whole different monster..... ... The practice drill i used for determining if i was hiting center ball involved 3 different drills using the full length (i skipped over the shorter accross the table test) of the table. Using some chalk as a easy target on center diamond.. I shot cue ball down and back till i connected 20 times in a row.... Then i would add an object ball on the break spot with cue ball half way between it and end rail and repeat the 1st drill but using draw so the object ball banks off the far end rail while the cue ball draws to the end rail im standing at and both should collide into each other full ball hit..... 20 times... Then with exact set up, would use follow shot and have the object ball bank fully in the cue ball some where towards the middle of table..... And the hardest for myself and still haven't achieved is to move the object ball down table to the rake or head spot and bank into a drawn stopped or following cue ball..... Im hitting the center diamond marked with the chalk accurate enough to pocket balls but some reason I'm imparting side spin to the object ball over that 80% or 6 /half diamonds segments(shows up on 7,8,9 ft tables and out of 20 attempts.. I'll achieve a full ball hit on the rebounding oblect ball - cueball collision.... 1 time of follow shot and 3 times with stop /draw shots...... The only thing I can think of is that the head spot dimple but i generally advoid any tables with dimple serve enough to cause head ball rack roll offs....... However.. Observing the cue ball and or object ball diverge from the shot line immediately tell me i wasnt on center cueball ... Im only refering to cue ball object ball that stayed on line and the object ball only came off rail off center... Ive move that drill over a diamond so to remove any dimple effect causing side spin but get same

Thank you. Nice video.

Good video...nice shooting

Good stuff youngster, thx for the video it was useful 👍

Good tips

Thank you.

Dang! Tha boy he good! haha!!!

Omg it's the best advice that I got for these shots

Good video, nice advice... 😀

Really good videos

Awesome Thanks

Very helpful.

Best way is imagine the object ball as the pocket hole, in this way you will notice it is very easy to shoot it into a hole without an object ball from almost any angle or position, it is very useful in cutting the balls too. And in for a long reverse cut imagine your position like you are cutting a reverse cut in the inside half of the pool board in which you normally cut a lot of balls in that will make you easy to notify whether you cut the ball too thin or not. And another one is imagine the object ball as you are hitting as hard as you can with the cue and then adjust yourself to hit it at the right pace. Another one is imagine you are already releasing your cue for the shot, remember the release on your arm and repeat it. Another one is imagine your object ball as you are trying shoot a bank shot in the hole, imagine the hole as a wall for the bank shot

I Love ur video 👍👍👍

Pocket Reducer that will make the pockets akin to UK pool tables. 👍

Yes,mui bien👏

Those pockets are massive 😲

I like this guy

Saw you in tournament in Louisiana

very nice table

My weak point,thanks for the upload

I enjoyed watching you shoot pool. So how do you shoot straight? How do you hold the stick properly? Where should the cue stick be hitting the cue ball in relationship to distance? How should I be eyeing up my shot?

Make sure you practice in both directions. When i picked up pool again i was noticing i was prefering to shoot to one side when i was practicing. Somehow subconsciously i was doing this. When i caught on i tried practicing to the other side..Boy was i missing a bunch. These long shots can be tricky. Besides unwanted english if you arent aligned properly it will throw off your shot. Another thing i was doing was trying to be to precise in my stroke and was i was tense. I always try and do if i can at least 25 of these shots before a match. Often i can tell if in my stroke just by that.

Been shooting for over 50 years and the kid knows what he is doing, by the way,nice table. What stock do you shoot with ?

I'm gonna try this on Pool App

all the shots are makeable to this guy

Your pocket reducer link is broken. It is missing the very first "h"

2 other major drills for perfect str8 shooting. Stroke through a pop bottle. And a rubber band wrapped around the cue so when you stroke when you pull back your bridge hand stops every time at rubber band

What cue you use? And what is the price point?

When both balls are on the wall, would outside spin on cue ball induce opposite spin on the target ball and make it hug more?

2:13 The cue ball went the same way both times. I think the right spin caused it to squirt to the left

What company of cue do you play with?

Thanks great video🎥.. Easy and simple.. And very helpful.. Thanks.. Keep posting. Warm rewards, The UnknownManCub 👍😎

Love it. Thanks

Fast Eddy Dupree.

Sometimes I miss a long shot trying to draw and I'm completely off. Is it the same concept where I was off center or do I have to put a little spin on the cue ball?

1:20 that is the most difficult shot ever..ive been playing billiards for 20 years and that has been my question how to make that shot...thanks...

So where is the part you show how to shoot straight?

Regards from Ody slim

Yes i am wey

Are you freaking kidding with that comment?! That's absurd! I feel much more relaxed watching him being relaxed and comfortable in his own environment. It reminds me of our family's pool room and how relaxed we were, playing pool sometimes half naked in a pajama bottom or underwear at odd hours of the day or night. Chill, Jimbo! It's all gonna be OK...It's pool!

In my opinion when hitting a long green str8 shot off the rail like that everyone always talks about hitting your CB with no unwanted spin and directly center shots and that all great, however in my opinion there are lots of times that its not any of the things I just mentioned. It’s not hitting the OB at the correct point of contact. Especially with the CB on the rail. It’s not hard to hit center mass but with the CB on the rail your not in your natural stance or natural horizontal level with your body. The point of contact on the OB is much smaller than people realize on that particular shot. Nice clip tho

What kind of cue do you use?

hey, i found a cue that i am intrested to buy can i send it to you and you tell me what do you think, thx

lol at how easy you make it look to put right spin on a long straight in shot from the rail

Just a heads up Dupree, the Link in description is unclickable

I found that my stroke was very bad and someone suggested turning my wrist onwards and it made a WORLD of difference

👍👍👍👍👍

Could've been Barry from the bee movie in another life. Great vids though

what are the dimensions of your pool mate?

👍

You should play pool competively

Ha ha , He said " I have no school now and no work " He forgot to add this " and I don't want to clean my house " ha ha .... anyway , thanks for good lesson

Also if your feet and legs lined up right with the shot you will miss. Make sure when your stroking the cue it's going back and forth straight. If it isn't then it's your arm trying to work around your hips. A short back stroke and a loose grip with a sturdy bridge hand will help. But before you even get down on the ball, step back as far as you can and get down and look at your lineup. This will help to know right where to hit the cue ball. If you want to teach this game don't leave out the details. The truth is that people are not built to be pool players. The stance needed to play good feels very awkward at first. Then people get lazy cause they found what feels comfortable to them but it won't be right. This shot requires a near perfect stance. Maybe you got other vids for that idk but this should be mentioned.

Straight shots aren’t my favourite, but they’re not as bad as *nearly* straight shots. Best shots for me are ones with a substantial angle.

It is the shoots down the rail shoots I have the problem with.

Hahaha..... He tried so hard to miss those shots. Muscle memory was having none of that.

mmm...must get new glasses

i put the ball at a spot can only hit a bank and come back and pocket the ball at the end table
