Say cuz keep up the videos and i am heading to vegas this weekend for apa world finals 9 ball. Can u do som 9 ball play i always enjoy watching u shoot and it definitely helps my game thanks bro.

Where'd you get those cards from, seems really cool

Just looks like drills that are labeled on cards, what makes this strategy?

You criticized shots your opponent made that you made previously. Disappointed in your honestly.

❤

If you freeze that 7 ball to the rail, that cross side turns into a double kiss bank to that corner, but the ball bends into the pocket and this 1 didn't. That along with the speed of the bank attempt i would say he meant it in the corner as it went. Also the path of the cue was more of an outside spin that you wouldnt want to bank the cross side.

Very first time I ever played in a pool tournment my first opponent was 74 years old. Me, I'm an APA 5/5. Not just a 5/5, a good 5/5. I watched this old man kind of warm up. He can barely make it around the table. Breathing heavy between shots. Getting down on a shot for him was his head barely tilted forward, then jab at a ball. I got this. Then, I break and run a handful of balls before I play defense (felt bad against the old guy), but he kicks out of it but leaves me a shot, I go out..... I break dry. Pops makes his way to the table, but it was a struggle... looks at me, looks back at the table. Get's down lower on his shot. Much lower. I see his open bridge quietly go to a closed bridge, finger wrapped very precisely over the cue. Somehow makes shot after shot that might be his last dying breath, but the balls are solid center pocket... cue ball is amazingly just in the right shape. Watching him, I'm thinking he needs an ambulance waiting outside to come get the corpse. But for the fact that he took the next 5 racks in about 7 innings, all the while looking like his heart is on it's last beat after every shot. Amazing what you can do... while you're dying. But hey, I got to watch and learn.

Every once in a while i turn the volume up i was for sure you was like a 4 or 5 in apa

Nice shooting partna!!!!!!!

This looks fun!

Hear ye, hear ye, his "moniker" (In lieu of you using fancy words) shall hence forth be, SPECS!

"Good talk, I explained it well." Idk why that cracked up so much! You did explain it well. Enjoyed the video🙌

I come to learn so... two shots, first rack. Would you consider, instead of stunning to the 5 ball, top left to the short rail and drifting into position? Second shot, same rack, you mentioned playing too soft but if you watch the cueball trajectory, you could have 4-railed into perfect position on the 8 ball (Shane plays it this way alot). What do you think?

Pretty cool!

Gonna need more cowbell!

32:45 LOL, I remember that comment!! 😜 I believe I commented about how women only want equality when it benefits them, lol. I bet you not one woman playing in that tourny said to the person running it, "that's ok, don't give me a game just because I'm a woman. I can win my on my own." 😂

That’s so awesome

Funny how the cue ball pauses and then moves again at the end of each shot.😮 What is the gizmo in your hand?

good job guys

Handy caps are always questionable at best. I would guess Mr. Anonymous just started playing pool under TAP authority,and everyone starts with the same handy cap. The new member plays their way to reality.it’s helter skelter but no different than being a teenager in today’s world. Never good to start 60% behind.

Do you need to call shots in this tournament? How about tap league?

I think everyone played poss on the wrong ball. I deff have!

Thanks bro I appreciate it, but that pic was my dad... he is the one who had cancer. And got the good news yesterday

He was definitely shooting the 7 in the corner. Double kiss situation on trying for the cross side shot. Thanks for putting up another great video!

Yeah, he was looking at the cross corner bank. I 'think' the double kiss would have made cross side difficult. Cross corner may have been due to a double kiss as well.

You both played well but Jon prevailed. Great match.

Yep, in the corner, didn’t have the angle for the side.

Thanks for recording your match with Jon. Proud mom here!

Next tournament Timmy probably will dress like a woman and change his pronouns just to gain a advantage. 😂😂

No doubt it's sexist. Would never be allowed in my area either. I took 2nd in a tournament 2 days ago. The only person that won a match against me was a woman. Sent me to the 1 loss and then beat me in the finals. And she's the 3rd most talented woman I know personally off hand! Check them out on tour NWPA They're headed to Boise next and they stream.

I do think "Pat" intended the 7 ball bank to the corner. I'm bad enough at this game that I could be dead wrong, but from the angle he had I don't see avoiding the double kiss going for the cross side, no matter how much inside you put on it. Either way, fun to watch. Thanks, bro!

How much for your table

Yeah I agree with you about that tournament. When you (correctly) called that tournament sexist, that had nothing to do with politics it was just the facts at hand. The way they set that up, you could have been playing Jasmin Ouschan and would have had to spot her a game 😂

Lets goo some morning 9 ball !

On your first 8-ball you just needed top left and a smooth stroke on the 11 would have brought around the table and in perfect line on the 8

Good match. well played. Not many mistakes. Well done to both players.

That just didn't happen. No way it had enough speed. But appreciate the discount code

A few comments on the match. Don't take yourself out of the match before it begins. In the first rack. Why didn't you draw back on the 13? Easy. Plenty of shots if you get back to the left side long rail. Don't try to break out balls that have a pocket. You do this many times in your matches. Don't listen to the second ball break haters. They don't know anything. lol In the last rack I think you had a safe on the 5. Even if you leave the 11, I think he has a tough out.

it happens all the time

We call him Adam. Not sure that's his real name though..... Pool players😒😞

It looks like the racks were cocked , if he was racking when you won , It was probably on purpose.

You should either stop using so much inside english , or spend some time learning how much it changes the cut angle{which is really hard} especially with distance. You can do the same thing with high and low most of the time, see Dr Dave stuff on You Tube, all those bobbled balls are from using too much english. and changing the cut angle.

I played in a league for a while, we were doing ok and had a chance to play for our city championships, we went to a bar and I was there all day everyone was playing so slow, then I am up it's for all the marbles ,All I have to do is beat my opponent, I was a 6 and they said this guy is a 5 , in walks a guy I could not beat getting a good spot , and I have to spot him, I didn't win a game. That was enough for me. I was not going to go pay money to play every week to play horrible so I could be a lower level.

I swear I've seen this in another video lately :P

As far as chip tournaments go.. I'd say if you're going to lose, it's best to lose early when the table wait times are longer.

I love the reality of the first game jitters, I don’t know anybody that can just start running racks without getting their stroke on beforehand!!!!

I can sit and binge watch your videos no matter who is playing, the commentary and the explanation of shots is awesome! You're the man Josh, greetings from NJ SL4

That’s a cool format, first exposure to a chips tournament. How do they establish the handicap, explain exponentially 😊

Love the chip tournaments. I need to stop watching your videos I’m up to a 6 now since I last commented. But seriously like always enjoy the free lessons watching you play.

Great job Josh
