By far the most specific and detailed instructional video about Pool for Freshies

Some friend called me for a drink a few days ago. Haven't seen him in a long time so we went to some pub. When we got there he was "like lets play a pool, I don't know how to play it ether..." He demolished me 5 games in a row. Yesterday the same. I never played a pool and I was rusty, but I played it for fun, not to win, so it was ok. We were chatting while we were playing and drinking beer, and it turns out that he have been playing it for some time. Today before I met up with him I watched pool lesson videos on KZfaq for half an hour. I watched this one before I left the house. IT HELPED. At middle of the first match he realized that he wasn't so far a head of me anymore. He stopped talking, got so serious, but it didn't help. I won the first one. For next hours, he didn't speak, we didn't speak. We were just playing a game, one man against another. After one hour it was even, 2-2. So the fifth match was for a winner. It was all in stake. He was winning through the whole match. Odds where against me. He was left with only a black ball while I still had 3 balls to go. Some how I caught him up, but by that time black ball was next to his hole. I knew if I fucked up this shot this would be the end of it. So I smacked white ball and it pushed black one away from his hole. Then in next shot the made a mistake. Balls aligned with my hole, and I knew that with bit of luck I could end a game. The pressure was high, my palms were sweating and my hart wanted to jump out of my chest. It was a clear shot, but still... I didn't wont to lose this one. There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters. Who never did. Who wont anymore.. And who always will. So, in a brief moment it was all clear. I dint worry about things form my past or future, In my mind there was only stick, two balls and a hole. While I was getting down to make my shoot universe stood still and I had the all time of this world to use the knowledge I gained in this video. I made my shot and I won! He stood cold as a stone but I knew he was boiling inside. He lost form underdog, and he is a type of guy who hates loosing. We paid for our drinks, shook our hands and said goodbye. Guess who wont call me next two weeks.

This is so hilarious and informative. Thank you!

This video is going to really help me with basics. I've made myself look stupid to many times. It's not even about looking fancy and faking it. All you need is the fundamentals and your set. Thank You!

sensei... 🙏

Thank you soo much! I'm a 15 year old golf and pool player and I'm always looking for good basic and trick techniques. This video has helped me learned the fundamentals and look like a pro playing with my dad and all his friends! I no longer look like a dorky kid but a pro player that knows what he's doing. Thanks alot lefty!!!!! p.s. I'M ALSO A LEFTY!!!!!

THANK YOU! Thank you very much! I'm a Leftie who tries to learn Pool and this is really helpful to me! Much Thanks!

Thanks for the knowledge. I am now ready to play,thanks to you.

Exactly what I needed. I always look stupid and definitely all of your example are me LOL.

Thank you for making this video. My boyfriend is incredible at pool and when we play I only get 2 or 3 shots before he wins the game. We’ve started making a deal where he can only make trick shots, so that I get a few more shots in (I still lose lol) and he gets more practise and better at shots he wouldn’t normally take in a regular game. Yesterday I watched this video, and last night when we played pool, I was able to see the table differently, and out of 12 games I only lost once! My boyfriend was completely blown away and couldn’t understand how I get so much better literally overnight. So thank you for helping me show up my boyfriend!! 😂😂

Thanks for the lesson. I've never played before but will take this information to heart.

thank you for your advice I'm don't look stupid right now and I'll study that I learned from you 😊

Three possible things: 1) You should Chalk the tip of your cue stick "EVERY" shot so you have better traction. 2) The tip of your cue stick might need to be sanded (with 80-Grit sandpaper) to the curve of a dime (US) 3) You might be hitting the Cue Ball too low. Remember, "Only ONE cue tip's width from the center of the Cue ball"... Keep practicing >>>

Thanks for the help I just joined the pull team at my youth center and I want to be a better player your video helped me a lot on my technique when shooting

Sent 5$ got it returned with the message "I'm not a Lefty, I'm a righty." So i gave it a like instead :D

This was really helpful and easy to follow. Love the humor!

look back and forth between the cue ball and the object ball while aiming. Then, look at the "object ball" last just before shooting...

This is a very clearly illustrated and easy to understand video!

Finally someone who makes guides and îs left handed... :D

Great video, i hardly play pool and won 8 out of 10 games with friends who play regulary hahaha, left them scratching their heads real funny. Thanks Lefty!!!

BASIC GOOD BASICS! Very fun and entertaining to watch! Well made video! This is how a tutorial should be made it maybe funny or serious but the information and details given are all here for a beginner pool player.

Watched this video 100 times but I still look stupid 😂😂😂😂

OMG! The humor. Thanks for the tips. :)

My roomate walked in so I paused the video, got weird looks then they walked back out and said "Okay you have fun with that..." When I looked at the screen it was paused at 5:38.

Thank You so much, unlike the other videos that show off before they evenstart the video

This was the most helpful and funny pool video I have ever see

Awesome and cute video, thanks.

I started falling inlove w/ billard from having 1 game 2v2 with a friend..( my first-time playing) and every single detailed about "don't know what you're doing" is totally me ....I need to sub cuz I really want to play the game better

Thank you soo much! this is really helpful but Im not a lefty. thanx

Great video, very logical and clearly organized - still working on my stoopid face but I'm getting there.

Loved This Tutorial Lefty ☆☆☆☆☆

OML.... I GO TO A DAY CARE THAT HAS A POOL TABLE WHERE WE CAN PLAY. THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH. I USED TO BE GOOD AT KINDA EVERYTHING EXEPT THE HAND WHERE THERE IS DIFFERENT VARIATIONS OF SHOOTS. TYSM.

The intro was very extra-ordinary. I almost drooled.

"Keep Stroking Smoothly" LMFAO yeah

Thank you!

Good Basics Video ! thank you !

a very clear instructional lesson fpr beginners

OMG!!! Your intro video was absolutely adorable!

best lefty video out of thousands thanks . if you have other video please let me know

Very informative, thanks

Fabulous!!!!!

after watching this I feel like a pro!

Thank you for answering me :), can I ask u only one thing more, why sometimes the cue ball jumps when I try a low english

Great video 5/5 :D But that Windows Movie Maker tho... XD going to a bar to play some pool this evening

say you were a drummer and you used the stance that you used to drum/angle and you are comfortable with it would that be suitable for a pool stance?

After this i realized i looked stupid to many times :P

awesome.. funny and very useful

All cues are different lengths depending on the player. The main concept is to place your grip hand at a comfortable balance point in order to distribute the weight of the cue more evenly. Keep practicing. "Practice makes perfect"...

Thanks you really did help me

thank you mr Lefty :)

Very good video! helped a lot ☺

o ok tks! always been used to looking at the cue ball though... got to change i guess

Good video!

Hey.. Good one lefty...

NICE! thx alot

This was awesome

Now I'm a real pool shooter (y) Danke =)

really helped with my english. thanks

Great video, man, but have you never heard of PayPal? :)

thank you very much

Great video

Good vid buddy....

Great pool video, so far the only one that asked for 5 dollars also.

Good lesson but can't find next one with ease, do you have a playlist?

Great news, Evan...! Thanks for letting me know. Comments like yours make doing this instructional video worthwhile...! Keep working on that SMOOTH STROKE >>>

I'm glad I found this video because I'm only interested in looking like a good pool shooter, not actually shooting pool well.

Awesome Vid

Shoot! I should have watched it earlier. Thank you, the God of Shoot.

thanks lefty!

hi! i was told when aiming, i should look at the target ball, instead of the cue ball. is this true?

good job lefty

Ha ha good one, and true!

crazy intro!!

What if the cue is small? Do we have to hold it at the very end or is there an another way

Jared, Try bridge-variation #1 in this video with your preferred technique. (Ain't gonna happen unless you have 6 fingers on your bridge hand...

Nice!

amazing!

it's all about balance and no unnecessary stress on other body muscles. Whatever you are comfortable with. The only thing moving no matter how you stand is your shooting elbow and wrist. "The rest of your body should be like a Statue..."

Which hand do i hold the pool stick? Does it matter which?

Been playing the game for 15 years but why not watch this

Thanks !!

YOURE A GOD!!!!

He is the father of the pool

Lefty, are you still playing pool? I would love to send yuou a few nnotes and learn more from you. I sure don't want to look stupid. Keep up the good work.

Thanks its so nice
