I really can't wait to move in and start building my studio. It's like a dream came true, and I still can't believe it. Thank you so much for watching, liking, commenting and sharing my videos. Without YOU this would not have been possible. And dont't forget to hit the bell if you want to get informed about new videos.

As my percussionist instructor once said, "If you can't play it slow, you certainly won't be able to play it fast". This principle also applies to this game, and it's how I teach anyone that I work with. Great video Sharivari!!!

I like the "I'am not begging for money here" hhhh You all right bro you doing great job!

This is one of your best videos for me. I am definitely guilty of this and need to work on it. When I slow myself down and just use a nice smooth stroke I always get better results. Thank you for this.

Exactly. Great advice. So many people think you need to muscle the ball. You wanna see super cueball movement with little effort, watch Buddy Hall. That man has the stroke from the Gods.

Congratulations to your new apartment and your new table. Thank you the up load.

I love the great work you put into your videos, man. I learn a lot with your content.

You've been grinding hard and you deserve a personal table the videos are even gonna get better....on road to a 100k. .

This is another great video! I see so many people shoot too hard, and when they do that they lose all control of the shot. Thanks again and congrats on your new apt. & studio!

Congrats on the new place! You definitely deserve to be highlighted by youtube to help get more subscribers. I'll be picking up a very used table soon. After replacing felt and rails I'll finally be able to implement your lessons and drills. Thank you for the great content!

SCHARIVARI, EL MEJOR PROFESOR GRACIAS.💪💪💪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪

Excellent commentary. We can feel your passion. Thanks.

Hello Sharivari. Yeah I`m guilty of hitting to hard sometimes, so thanks for the reminder. Enjoy your new apartment and keep the videos coming.👍

Another great lesson. This one is absolutely true.

Great video I’m guilty of shooting hard at times this video really shows the importance of just slow down I love the double table section where you show the difference in shots at the same time Good luck with your new place

Great timing Sharivari, i've been working on this exact issue/shot recently and have been trying to put together a KZfaq video to show my progress, hopefully won't be too long!

Love your vids man I am a beginner myself these vids make life easier so keep them coming!!

It’s like a golf swing- smooth for the best results- good vid!!

Thanks man more power to the channel

Bueatiful lesson. A friend recently tried to force the cue ball around the table, but same thing happened. He ended up short. I told him the same thing, he could have gotten more action hitting it more relaxed and full. Love these kinds of lessons. Thanks.

Great insight with nice examples. Thank you ✌

Great video. One of the best for players of higher caliber.

This is a great video. U rarely see pros trying to hit the CB at maximum speed and they move the ball so easy

Excellent points!

I love your creativity

All that talent and yet not in the top 10 of the world. Makes you respect the pros more. Thanks for the lesson bro.

Enjoyed it, thank you.

I have been following all of your videos (watched many several times) which are all great, but this one of the most helpful videos yet. After watching this last night I spend 5 hours today working on my stroke speed, timing and follow thru and the result was amazing!!! I used the first shot in this video as a gauge and after sever hours of refining my stroke I was able to hit the shot perfect at least 7 out of 10. I then went back to your other drills and shots and the difference was amazing. Thank you so much. I will be joining your Patreon site to show my support for all you do to help so many of us improve. ~Ron

Epic demonstration! Scientific explanations: more spin effect = more angular impulse applied to the cue ball = F * r * Δt . Ideally, the max effect is achieved when maximizing F (the hitting power), r (the length from the center of the cue ball to the hitting point) and Δt (the duration of time the tip keeps contacting the cue ball. A.k.a good follow-through). What Sharivari said, essentially, is that since most of us can't optimizing all three factors at the same time, first focusing on aiming high/low enough and maintaining a good stroke.

Awesome video!!! This helps explain “Exactly” what I’ve been working on lately! You put this into words and demonstrations so perfectly!!! Thank you!!! Congratulations on the new home and pool table/recording studio: I wish you the BEST with this next endeavor! I have a question (and maybe an idea for a new video). My buddy just got a table with super quick felt (similar to that used for tournaments). I’m having quite a bit of trouble holding on to the ball because of how slick the felt is. I imagine using less power, better stroke and follow through is key to improving.. though the ball still has the tendency to continue rolling far past the desired location. Any advice would be super helpful! Again, potential video?

congratulation to you for the progress. wishing you the best of luck.

Thanks brother more blessings from Philippines

Congratulations on the new studio! This will make you much more flexible for new ideas. My trainer used to say: quality over quantity and meant exactly what you show in the video. Better a clean kick with the planned hitting point on the white, than speed 200 and rattling balls or zero effect 😉

Helpful as always. I am curious about your upcoming videos 👍

Thank you for another helpful video.Good luck with your new studio.

I must say your a great pool player and a great instructor too. I learned a lot from this video especially with speed control because I think that is part of my problem. Good Job!

Thank you this is very helpful

Congrats on moving to a bigger place!

You deserve more subscribers you're such a good KZfaqr!!! I love your videos I hope you blow up soon

Thanks, truly appreciate you

Greetings from Dubai! I learned a lot from you and your videos are getting better and better everyday.

Great video 🙏🙏🙏

Great video!!! I believe this is the reason I've been missing a lot of shots .... On a side note, I'm glad to see you finally missed a ball - even if it was on purpose lol

Very well done... shooting way too hard is a BIG Mistake many inexperienced players make quite often... so pointing this out is great to see!! If players want to improve their game... they need to follow & listen to you. Watching your videos will help any player become better... Keep up the great work... & good luck on getting your new apt... glad you now will be able to also have your own table... :-)

For a long time I hated playing on fast tables. Really hated it - so I played on much slower tables. Then I started to go to a different pool hall that had super fast tables. One of the top professionals from the Philippines plays there. I soon realized that once you get used to really fast tables it is better for your game. Why? Because of exactly what was talked about in this video! To move the ball around the table on a FAST table takes very little effort. You can hit the ball so much easier and still go three and four rails with ease. This makes shot making so much easier and more consistent because you do not have to hit the ball hard to move the cue ball around. The reason most players, good players, hit the ball hard is not to make the shot but to get position. And when you play on a fast table it is sooo easy to hit the ball easy and get the cue ball around the table. I used to watch in amazement as professional players would make moving the cue ball around look so easy and it frustrated me that I could not do that nearly as easy as they did. Well, the reason was that I was playing slow tables. Really slow tables. So, if you are on slow tables now - try to find a legitimately fast table and see what a huge difference it makes. The game is so much easier on a fast table.

Thanks! I was actually going to suggest doing a video where the effect of English is often different than someone new to English might expect. Sort of like when drawing with English where the spin does the reverse of follow shots or stun shots when they hit the rail. I was having weird effects when trying shots like you showed, and now realize I was hitting too hard, and not enough follow through. Thanks so much! Can’t wait to try it out at the pool club tomorrow.

Lucasi gang 🤟🏼🤟🏼🔥🔥🔥

I like this ,thanks, Now I know what to do most of the time I forced my stroke just to have a good spin

This video was great and it really got me thinking about why using less power on some/perhaps most - shots is correct. First of all you already mentioned a couple of reasons. Less power up to a point at least means more precision with where we hit the cue ball as well as more precision with the line of the shot. Another reason has to do with the force of the cue ball into a rail. The harder the cue ball is hit the more it compresses into the rail thereby narrowing its angle off said rail. This effect is seen when banking a ball l as well. The harder the hit the narrower the angle coming off of the rail. One player in particular who seems to be in a league of his own in this area of the game is SVB. The action he extracts from the cue ball with seemingly impossible slow speed is astonishing. Thanks for this video Sharivari. Side note: The level of play you exhibit is outstanding. Even during my best years I wouldn't have played you for money.

It is easier to move the cue ball with less power when the table cloth and rails are in good condition. Sometimes at the club table the rails are hard and the cloth is worn out, so players need to power their stroke to run the cue ball full table. Nice video btw and congrats for new studio.

Thanks again Sir Sharivari 🎱👌🏼 - now you have proven me right that hard shots are not good & more relaxed shot. Thanks again Sir, just wish God's intervention can help us be able to be back playing. Keep safe, keep safe distance, wash your hands regularly & wear a mask out there. God spare you for Us pool 🎱 lovers out here. 🙏

Congrats on the apparment man

I like all your videos and it help me a lot i hoped you can teach me more about playing billiards

Nice video. Thanks. Could you explain exactly how you achieve the longer follow through, even while hitting softer? You can't mean that you artificially force follow through after the ball is long gone. You must mean you do something different BEFORE hitting the CB so the follow through happens automatically? Or you change your stroke somehow (e.g. elbow drop) -- but that would lead to inconsistency. Or perhaps from extra wrist action follow through or even releasing the cue stick (a type of slip stroke). Please explain more.

Tou are really agood teacher Sam from uganda

Soo always Follow through your shot

Thanks bro you are the best ..

ok, i try and go in my pool hall now :)

Nice Video! Awesome! I subscribed your Channel.

Thank you 👍🇳🇿

nice tips

Nice vid

Can you explain the differences in pool cues? I use a players. I forget the #. You have really helped me understand English better. I’m still not quite sure where to aim for spin.to control the cue ball. I will just be starting to use it when we can get back to playing. Thanks for the great lessons. Can’t wait to see video’s from your new place.

Hello i.m vietnam You are good

You're great

Thanks!

Love these videos, but I need to find a channel that shows how to play on a bar table with slower cloth and heavier cue ball. Hopefully I can remember these lessons during the handful of times I play on a big table with fast cloth and firm rails.

Nice video! This really makes sense. I’m a subscriber, congrats on your new apartment and pool table. Love watching. I’m a women that loves the game. You’re a good teacher. You make everything look so much easier, also the way you explain. Your voice is soothing and clear. I also watch Efren Reyes play. Been watching you for a while now. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you.

even in martial arts relax is an key :D

There’s this shot I do sometimes where I shoot a ball on a spot like the pink in snooker and I shoot super hard with inside and stun. Somehow with that spin and speed I can pot better than normal lmao and it’s satisfying to slam a ball in the heart of the pocket

For me it's easy to do in training. I just focus on quality and my shots turn out great. As soon as a game starts, even when it's just for fun, all that quality is gone. After a bad stroke I realise it, do 1 good stroke and back to stupid again.

Try introducing a little pause before you strike the ball. This helps massively and reduces the snatchyness.

What kind of table are you going to get?

Id love too see sharivari vs bang time pool vs fx Billiards all great players that would be a great tournament maybe through lil chris in there as well ..

I just picked up an olhausen 9 foot for our pool room. Playing on it has taught me a lot. On this shot, what’s wrong with a touch of outside and to bring the cue ball to just left of center table? You’d only need half the power, it’s natural position, natural English.

Now i know the more powered stroke the lesser run the cue ball

When I'm stroking smoothly with good follow through is when I'm playing my best pool. But for some reason I have a really hard time with keeping consistent with that and before I know it my stroke turns to this jerky motion and I'm hitting way too hard. I'm constantly having to remind myself to switch back to smooth with follow through. If I could just always have that consistent smooth stroke my game would elevate so much higher.

Are there drills you can recommend doing

Can you give me an idea of a camera i can buy for overhead recording of games?

This is my main problem. I feel like i cant control my muscles tightening up during stroke. Any tips on how i can adjust this and drills?

How many balls potted in the timelapse playing straight pool at the end of the video?

It really is hard to be consistent if you don't have your own table and don't know the type of tip/shaft to use;Each table plays different.

Bonjour Je ne comprend pas beaucoup l anglais malgré tout je vous remercie j ai amiliorer mon jeux de beaucoup imaginer si je comprendrait. Si c est possible de mettre les sous titre en français cela serait apprécié. Merci

Even Conor McGregor said precision beats power

Hi sharovari . That bridge you make at 1 53 . I cannot do nor find any information on . It looks like a index finger over middle finger and looks impossible. And certainly no room for a pool shaft . Is there a link or anything I can do to look at it practice that bridge. Thanks so much

Does the weight of the cue stick matter? Im better with a 15oz stick but sometimes i feel like my power gets compromised when i need to travel around the table.

If less is more, just think how much more, more would be.

hello i have never made more than 2 balls in a row in any of my games.

What your name's cue ?

Are you using a Lucasi custom cue?

So, in short. Cue like a snooker player, smooth, relaxed and through the white and you don't need power.

check your pm on azbilliards

ask to Legendary Magician Efren " Bata" Reyes 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Hope you're getting out! Working at home doing what you love. Maybe you never get out.

Thanks man more power to the channel
