Totally agree. A real sportsman who enjoys sharing how he views things.

@@wayneblackburn9645: Aren't all true masters like that?

I feel you

Plus I'm gonna be shit again

I just got back into shooting pool a couple months ago after years of not playing. No room in my house for a table.

Mate I’m missing em so much would be there almost everyday not with this lockdown never take it for granted again!!

I was working up my way up through my straight pool league...and now no pool for a month...maybe another few months before things open up again. Kill me now.

dude: that's like 101 of straight pool strategy, not a biggie.... break shot -> then first tought: is there already a suitable break ball that I need to leave alone and develop something around it. What really get's me in straight pool are not the clusters, not the problem balls, but more like the last 5-6 ball before the break, where you kinda know: you don't really have option anymore and you have to make a solid plan and find the easiest pattern..... that one really get to my flow....

Enrico Köhler Dude, no one gives a fuck. 😉

Rob L. You sound dumb, if you get impressed by someone immediately looking for the next break shot, you probably never picked up a cue in your entire life

@@Slasheaxl You sound lonely . Maybe buy your other hand some flowers.

@@RobertLeBlancPhoto - You are an asshole... period.

Should've took a photo!

Lol

Spittin straight facts, I felt bad every time where he had to recompose his mind and shot feeling 🤣🤣

I was once asked if I knew Arabic because I laughed at a joke that I couldn't hear at a bar. I knew the game, I understood what they had to be talking about and it was funny, so I laughed. That's what I love about chess and biljards; they're languages of their own, without the cultural mess that's associated with general purpose languages.

Nice tutorial Rollie 👍.

It's pre recorded.

But Hohmann's way of acting made it look like social distancing was a thing even then

Really,that's the only thing you can comment,are you being ironic because its obviously ridiculous at the moment with every video filmed outdoors has a disclaimer,fuckin ridicuous pc bollox

ElvislaD you mad bro?

Aesthetics on a cue should be the very last thing on your mind... and this is from someone coming from many years of experience.

@@SlickRick4EVER well, yes, except that dirt on the shaft impacts how it slides through your hand and thereby the feeling of the shaft - - and I find it irritating for me personally - but either way: I play carbon now, shaft's smooth forever^^

@@enricokohler475 Carbon fiber is dirt resistant?

@@josephyard7328 hell yess!! - it's dirt resistant, ding resistant, even fairly scratch resistant - you can pretty much violate it however you want, move balls around the table with it, let balls hit it, hitting it on the table due to frustration after missed shot - -> noting happens, it basically stays as new forever.... as for the dirt resistance: not every carbon is equally well, it depends on their finish - Revo for instance, somehow dirt can accumulate on it - it's fine thou, since it's carbon fibre, it's only on the surface and can't penetrate into the shaft, so you can just simply wipe it away with a wet towel and shaft is like new - - - nevertheless, my Mezz Ignite, the finish is superb, a lot better than Revo and also better than Meucci, nothing sticks to it.... I basically just never have to clean my shaft, it's always super slick, like new... maybe every month or so I'll go with a wet towel or with glass wipes to clean it and mostly only if I get sloppy and let it sit around and accumulate dust, not putting it in my case, haha. Other than that: it basically stays clean forever..... or dirties only very minimal.... and all dirt can be removed in 2 secs. On the other hand, with my wood shafts, I was always polishing and burnishing them, since I want that ultra slick feel. And no matter how good you polish your shaft, how fine you sand it, how good the wax coating is you apply: it will get dirty again after some time. And then you need to do maintainance again. Carbon fibre on the other hand: it really is a zero maintanance shaft.

@@josephyard7328 I bought my carbon fibre for: - no maintainance (really: close to ZERO) - no dings - no scratches - plays the same way independent of weather and temperature - will never bend that's the hard benefits of (nearly) ever carbon shaft. That will set it apart from wood for sure! - - - other things are just preferecial and added boni, like the low deflection, high energy transfer, more "linear" feedback progression between very soft, hard, powershots

My mistake, my auto correct misspelled your name.

Ryan answer "I'm very lucky"

I feel like the language barrier would make it a bit hard. Efren's English isn't so great. Unlike on the table, where he has god-like command of English.

14.1 Continuous would make you a WAY better 8-ball player. Trust me, just pay close attention to this form of Pocket Billiards.

What is the app? Thanks

I can't find the app..is it on android?

@@kalabantesh1883 it not on android yet

KALABANTESH buy an iphone

@@LaVerdad65 Shit...yeah i think i need to buy an I phone.

@@kalabantesh1883 NEVER buy an iphone... You can't even put the apps wherever you want on your home screen! Deal breaker

This is straight pool, when you get down to the last ball you rack up 14 more and break them open with the last remaining ball from the previous rack. You keep on running balls until you miss. World record is 626 by John Schmidt last year finally beating willie mosconi’s record of 526 that was set in 1954.

Wombra for the win!!✌️😷👍. Stay safe out there.

Rubster760 👊😷 you too man thank you :) ...and railbirds has a premiere scheduled for tonight 👍

Wombra cool 👍😷. I watched the one pocket match that was uploaded in your honor. 😁👍.

Rubster760 ✊😷👉 😂😂 why thanks lol... i'll have a shot and play some straight pool now in your honor! cheers!

Germany.

Break like what?

this game is called straight pool, search up for the rules. its pretty straight forward, like snooker but you can hit any ball you want and score as much as you can

Robert Craig I would be mad too if my name was Robert Craig 🤣

Yes, it would be from a previous rack with the idea being that you leave the last ball and use it to open the next rack. The opening break in straight pool is typically a safety shot because ALL balls pocketed must be CALLED shots, so an open break isn't used. Thorsten was demonstrating a typical straight pool "break shot". it's a great game. google the strategy. John Schmidt just recently broke the record for most consecutive balls pocketed at 626 (over 44 racks!)

They are playing straight pool. In straight pool you can make any ball. The break shot is a safety shot as every ball must be called Ball and pocket. So no just smashing them. The rack will only be opened if a player can make a ball and go into the rack off that made ball. When you are down to one ball left, the remaining balls are re- racked minus that single ball This means you need to leave position on your last ball to reopen the rack again. High level straight pool players will make breaks in the two three hundred range.

If you are looking it up on youtube look for either straight pool or 14.1

@Robert Craig I am listening but as I said before I find it a pointless tutorial for me personally, as I am only concerned in running out 8 balls at a time, no more no less.

How's that even remotely clickbait, he's a pool world champion, more specific would be 3x world champion. Even more specific, wouldn't fit in the title. Whether it's 9, 8, 10, snooker, 3 rail, bank, masse, it's really all the same when you get to that level.

"multiple world champion" is specific enough if it's about pool -> Thorsten has won the WPA 9-Ball World Championship two times, he also won the 14.1 World Championship on one occasion when it was sanctioned by the WPA and on 4 more occasions after the WPA stopped sanctioning the 14.1 World Championships. His Achievements are too much to fit into the title, bro... But yeah: he could have written "multiple 14.1 world champion", which would be actually helpful since this is a video on 14.1

Lol is that why Rollie was laughing when he said he got the perfect angle.

RushNCrushGaming yes. You can see the cue ball roll farther !

s80 I agree, I just thought was funny because both was laughing!!!

Dude he's German....

@@itsmikey2667 nd i know that, he really sounds very indian☑️

You explain it better then.
