The feedback to my last video (What English You Should Use and Why) was so positive, that I will use my GoPro more often now. And I will also start a series called "What English", where we go through racks of 8, 9, or 10 Ball and I explain what English I am going to use and why. Until then, enjoy this video!

please continue with the GoPro.. my game has improved so much since I’ve started watching your videos & now it’s even better. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of the game.

This is definitely the kind of information people want to see when they search for pool tips. Most of the videos on KZfaq are 7+ years old and the editing/finish of your videos is very modern and refined. Love your channel and the content! Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoy this format, and the GoPro . Please continue making more videos like these. Thank you! For all the hard work you put in to the sport and for teaching others.

I have to say , I'm a seasoned pool player yet I still have trouble with those shots time to time , I see others on KZfaq showing similar drills but the difference with you and what makes your video better is your way of explaining it and showing where to hit it so good work , nice video.

The GoPro feature offers a huge benefit to the viewers. Cueing, one of the absolute most important aspects of playing pool is often missing in most instructional videos. Thanks so much for the great work and please keep it up!

Hi, I follow you from Italy, I love how you play and how calmly you play, I have played billiards for 4 months, I am quite good, but I had not yet understood how to make the effect and how to approach this beautiful game, but with your video I'm getting even more passionate about this game. Please continue like this. PS: excellent idea the gopro

Very nice demo..you clearly show how English is applied correctly. This presentation has improved my use of english by 200 %. Thank you so much.

That drill will become my favorite I'm sure, thanks!!!

Thanks Sharivari. You have really helped improve my game. Great content as always.

The Go Pro view has added a great new layer to the videos you produce. Another fantastic drill. Thanks for the quality content!

First time I have seen a video with a GoPro. Great idea!

Next level instructional videos, love it!

The best tutorial so far.Ty 4 sharing.

I learn something new every time. Thank you sir.👍

This is going to be my next practice drill :) thanks Sharivari! Really love the Gopro view

I just learned somthing from this video and it improved my position plays. thanks

Love it! Keep this great content coming!

awesome video. I love the GoPro view. Thanks for the great content.

Best tutorial on youtube! Gopro and point on cueball super bro!!!

subscribed! great tutorial videos...thanks Shavari

GoPro plus your simple explanations make your videos great teaching tools keep it up

Great tutorials. Thank you.

Killing it bro! Thank you

Very nice and helpful. Thanks

This guy is really GOOD.

Definitely a useful drill, even if you start off with fewer balls. Wish my table had such generous pockets, ha ha!

I really like seeing it from your view more.

This is excellent, I can see how much english you are using.Thanks

Really like the Go Pro view! Even if it is "backwards"...haha. Keep the great videos coming amigo! 😎

Deine Videos werden immer besser.Coole Idee mit der GoPro.Mach weiter so.Liebe Grüsse aus dem Norden, Alex

Very helpful, thank you

This is awesome really love this keep it up bro

Very nice and great quality!

Nice ball control 👊🏻

Go pro helped tremendously. Now I can see exactly where to hit the cue ball.

Nice add to your lessons using go pro!

Good knowledge...especially about not holding the cue ball cause then you focus on the cue ball instead of the object ball

Continue never stop

Your cue action is amazing 🔥

Another great video! 👍

I am going to be competing in the Super billiards expo in PA next month and plan on using this drill in practice. Hopefully I'll come in the money...Thx for all the videos.

Hello from the Maldives! Love what you're doing and covering here. And the GoPro view is amazing! Just a tiny suggestion, I think two very faint dashed lines vertically and horizontally on the middle of the cue ball you show on your shots would really help identify what and how much english you're applying for the shots. Thank you so much for the brilliant teaching techniques and technologies you use. Much appreciated :)

Love your videos.

Cool thanks Sharivari..this looks like a great exercise☺ I'll give this pool practice set up a go & try a bit of english on some shots! Btw I did try the jaw corner shot on the cue ball & 'gods honour' I actually got the shot first attempt with potting the 8 ball sitting over the middle pocket Yay!! However my 2 next tries didn't work even when I showed my Sister Yvonne.Luckily it worked on my 4th attempt..😆

Thank you for using the GoPro camera.

Now i Know. Thanks for teaching me

Great vid for everyone wanting to learn more about pool. The drill is definitely going to help alot of new players. But i wouldnt shoot the 13 ball like that. I feel that it will be too risky as it could hit the 15 or enter the corner pocket. What i would do is to put more right english so that the ball would hit the side rail n remove the risk of entering the corner pocket. But again this is what i prefer. Again great vid :) Edit: just fixed up my spelling. Not really good at it

Very solid

Good stuff!

Very informative!!

Nice content... Can you make a video on how to reduce missing shots

Well done

Great video. I have a ton of trouble on any drills where there’s a ball in the center of the table. I didn’t realize how often I’m always traveling through or into the center of the table.

Thanks!

Wow! Super félicitations pour les sous titre en français je vous remercie.

Tnx sir outstanding..!!

Damn i have been playing for a year now at first months i have been playing i dont know anything you have been talking about but now i can easily run 10 balls if they are not blocking each other and i have seen that most of this shots are what i always see ingame. PS. I like it and i learn alot when you play with gopro

My Rasson table at home have 4 inch pockets many of your shots would have missed the pockets😜 i know bc I'm an elite player my self btw thx for the video very helpful for new players.

Please teach how to cultivate the pro closed bridge ( svb bridge) or any thoughts on that particular bridge. We really appreciate all you do. Thank you

Nice, seems easy enough )

Very nice run.💪💰👀

Nice well done

nice shooting sir

Interesting point with the comment in the video about how little side you use to make the cue ball react like it does, do you have to adjust aim a lot or minimal adjustments

Got notified because of the bell

Sharivari do you have any tips on how to do bankshots?

For me what was very important while progressing in pool was learning center ball. It may sound silly but my comfort was in spin and that’s all I did. Little did I know how much my game lacked without basic fundamentals. And this comment may not apply to you but for those starting or just rely on shot making.. learn fundamentals!!

Dude ur good gopro ple

Sharivari... you’ve done videos on spin/deflection before but I’m keen to know when you put side on a ball... how do you know how to compensate deflection with gearing side when aiming. Is it the case that say a long shot with side played firmly the deflection is 80/20 dominant. Whereas a shot played slowly softly you don’t generate deflection so much so it’s more 20/80 dominant etc.

I think split view gopro in primary and other in corner. Thats better for view i think 🙏

Can u do a video to diffetent metronome beats n see difference different tempo makes. I goota slow down so how. Sometimes i run racks in 30 seconds. I cud run way more if i cud slow down. I just feel like i know how to hit every shot and not slowing down messes me up. I gotta find the right tempo. Seems when certain songs come on i always run out and i think its the tempo rhythm it causes.

Do you have any videos or advice on maintaining focus/ not letting outside influences effect your game? I can run out in 8 or 9 ball for my first 20 minutes on the table, but then I start getting distracted and miss EVERYTHING after that. Maybe I'm just not cut out for a prolonged period of shooting? It's really starting to take a toll on me just enjoying my time playing.

I’m sure it will affect your shooting it’s just an idea to play around with if you haven’t so everyone please be nice I’m just throwing ideas out lol but have you tried putting the go pro on the stick itself so we can look down the stick

Hi Sharivari! Quick question, if I’m right handed and right eye dominate but learned to play left handed...is it worth switching to my right hand for better long term results? Thanks!

Hey, Sharivari. We previously talked about using a mid-extension in the comments of one of your previous videos. I see now that you elected to not use it. What made you decide to play without it?

i am wondering if i mess up a drill (like miss a shot or hit a ball after contact) should i restart the drill or continue from where everything lies?

Hey Sharivari, I'm wondering what fargo you are and whether you have any advice for mental game against a stronger opponent. I'm around 570 and I find that whenever I play someone I think is way better than me, I tense up and cannot let out my stroke (especially in tournament), I'll miss simple shit or misplay position just because I'm dragging shots or babying the shots for no reason. Any advice?

Great video. One small suggestion, could you add a grid(vertical, horizontal and circular) to the cue ball illustration so it’s easier to see how much off-center the tip should go? Other than that, amazing work. Thanks!

Would you eventually try to do tutorials on a Chinese 8 ball table at some point as well? :)

Canyou provide an ordered list of your videos? By that I mean, the order you would recommend I watch them. I like them all but feel like I am haphazard in watching them.

I'm always amazed at how much you can cheat the pockets on American pool tables and it still somehow drops. I play English eight-ball and these cushion shots require so much more precision.

Great video, but keep in mind that other than the theories it's important to train on different tables and different opponent to give you the edge of adapting to new environment (table size, cushion, balls etc) you could be very good at your own table but on different tables you could be playing like shit, that's what the pro player have with their experiences, so train and play as much as possible guys 😁 good luck

What if i miss!? Start over? Put the ball back? Leave it? Whats the most effective way to practice this?

More gopro

Can you go over situations where you would choose to use no english whatsoever? And how to strike perfectly in the center of the cue ball?

I used to play this exercise with the balls frozen to the rails, now I know why it was so hard to complete... 😅 I played random however...

When do you use front hand english vs back hand english, going from the gopro view, looks like you only use back hand english (i.e. moving your bridge parallel rather than pivoting the cue)

Hey Shari, I’ve been following you for a while now and have definitely improved my game thanks to your videos. Was just wondering if you might consider the titles to the videos. I had been searching for exactly this subject, when object balls are close to the rails, but only happened upon this as it just came up on my KZfaq feed. If the title included “balls close to the rail” I would have found it easily much sooner. Many videos on “a shot you should master” but without description. I worked on exactly this during my normal practice where I shoot a game of 10 ball and when I come up on a shot I don’t even know how to shoot for position I stop just shooting, mark the ball positions and work on it. Lots of experimenting on ball close to the rail. Finally found for the shot I had a very slow shot with lots of English got my position, but mostly as you so we’ll point out, I have been overdoing English and besides the drill here, that may be the most important lesson for my game. Love your videos, they really go deep into how to get better.

For me that straight in 15 after making the other fourteen balls would have been the hardest. 😄

Looking at the gopro footage, when u for example put right hand english u first seem to be feathering the cueball on the left side. Is this something i should do or is this just something one does to compensate for their flawed fundamentals?

Hey I’ve noticed when you stroke your stroke hand is firmly wrapped around the butt of the clue. I’ve noticed many players use a different methods. Would you say this the best way to maintain full control and shot making ability?

The videos are good but I always get the impression that his corner pockets are like buckets. Many of his shots would not have gone in on the tables I play on in tournaments every week, especially those on the section without GoPro. Maybe he's increased the corner pocket width by removing them and replacing them with side pockets, thus gaining an extra inch.

Which models of GoPro are you using? I can't disable the wide angle on my old one

I’ve been playing with my dad and I’ve been consistent with my shots. I want to become better

Why did you use topspin on the eight ball? Seemed like a center ball shot to me.

What do you say English when you are playing pool

Very hard drill... never got close, maybe 4 or 5 balls.... so I decided to only put up 6 balls, ran right through them the first time, no problem....????

2:34 6:35 aiming strokes look off-center...I'm sure there's a reason why but...balls. IDK...maybe its a weird camera angle. Love the vid tho...that stuff looks trippy tho lol.

I'm new to your channel, I love your videos man ♥️ please pick me winner of a cue stick I don't have my own 😅❤️😍
