Mick Hill genuinely is a genius - unbelievable how clearly and insightfully he can express his thoughts at this game.

There will be a lot more to come from the mind of Mick Hill. Stay tuned.

Agreed. Really thorough insights. Gave me a few eureka moments

excellent video and very engaging to listen to. Not many players who are at the top of their sport are able to breakdown and explain what they do and how they do it. Mick is brilliant to watch and is brilliant at commentary.

We all learn when Mick speaks. A great mind to have with Ultimate Pool.

I've watched a ton of youtube pool coaching vids over the years, and I'd say this is the most informative 15 mins of all that I've seen. You can tell Mick's pool brain is just at the highest level. I've always said outside of fundamentals, its hard to coach pool because so much is about feel and touch, but Mick does an exceptional job here of explaining his processes and describing subtle elements of his shots. And might I say, remembering Mick as a chubby youngster with a dodgy quiff - he's looking fit as a fiddle here!

@@tct84 never said he was. Just said his videos are better at doing what these guys tried to do here. Either you watch his videos and agree, or don’t. I don’t care. I learned absolutely nothing from this video. Which is fine, it’s not meant for my skill level. I’d like to see all these bar box guys play rotation on a 9 foot table though.

Imagine Mick giving instructions on making a cup of tea.. 1) pick up kettle using your right hand, placing your 4 fingers around the handle, and the thumb underneath, at precisely 7 on the clock face, then place under the cold water tap, that has been running for 6.8 seconds, and part fill the kettle to just above half way. Carefully insert the plug into the socket, before flicking the switch to allow electricity to run through, which in turn will heat up the kettle element, this heating up the water to the desired 100°c at a rolling boil!! 😄 He really is the professor of pool knowledge!!

Very impressive tutorials with clear elaboration of how the balls should be played and natural grip to be able to be consistent in your cueing & avoiding being chasing a win either... Most important is to be decisive in your pattern play & confidence behind each shot... 🤷‍♂️

I imagine even a non-pool player would really enjoy watching this. Mick is box office. There are tips in here for all levels of 8 ball, and the Golf analogy was class.

This is the best talk-through of how to play English pool I’ve ever witnessed, and incredibly clearly presented too. If Mick ever decided to go into presenting/coaching/KZfaq the world would be a much better place for it. Top rate

@apestrong Жыл бұрын

@@UltimatePool An insight into the differences between shot style preferences and managing your mental game for a final/tough match versus an easier/less important game would be very valuable and not something I've seen a lot of. Also I'm sure there's lots more insight to be heard not relevant to this specific layout so repeating the format of this video just on more games would be great too. Thanks! I'll definitely be watching more UP now I know he's a commentator.

love this! Had different ideas about what order of shot to play but when he explained it, it made sense

@SimonAyersPool Жыл бұрын

Great video! I went to one of his coaching days and it was a lot of this sort of stuff talking about patterns and trying to use a rolling cue ball rather than stuns and screws. Much better way to play the game.

6:37 I get the canon and everyone is happy. Apart from the opponent 🤣🤣. His explanation is fantastic!! Detailed and can help you win more games by knowing more options of what to do and what not to do. Unlike Ronnie o slutivian I bet he would say hit this do that and win. If you miss break the cue 🤣🤣

I know this is super expensive to afford for the tables and tournaments but they really should use the Kamui Kageki chalk for these tables that have grey cloth since you should usually chalk that matches the table cloth it's just better and it's pool culture, it's a pool thing yk

Hi ya I've been playing pool since the age of 10, for 42 years , tbh , I always try and get rid of the hardest ball early if I can , also , I try and clear all the balls the opposite end of the table of the black (9) as I llke to keep my game compact if I can , I map my route once broke , and also see the best pocket the black can go in and play my shots progressively with that black shot in mind

The other player shouldn't factor in any shot you play off the break. What has that got to do with anything if you're good and are confident in clearing, which to be fair, you should be at this level
