Nice

About to play a match. Will use these tips

Why is it that I often set up a great break ball, make it, and then have a great spread with an easy shot in the next rack - but that's the one I miss?..... It's so hard for me to get passed one rack because of this.

Nice

I really like your video training

Quick Question: When you're in a match are you actually thinking..."If Im at this diamond and I need to go here for position then I should hit whatever o'clock on the cue ball"(Just a general example).... Or are you just feeling the shot, visualizing the shot and then naturally moving your tip position to what "feels" right?? Thank you for these amazing instructional videos! We, the pool fans, really appreciate them!!!

This is such a helpful vídeo! Wish I could like it everytime I comeback to it. Thank you so much!

good

Do you have to compensate in your aiming to make the shot when you want to have the cueball spin atfer the shot?

I. Just want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I appreciate it very much. 👍👍👍👍👍

I did this drill yesterday for the first time. I'm probably close to a C- player. The most I got was 3 in a row, but I did find a good groove where I felt more confident in making the shot. Great drill sir and thank you.

Looking good! I think I needed that piece of information. That adds another confidence in my ability to be a better shotmaker.

Neils I been a fan of yours and I think your channel is so helpful for us. Thank you. Rick, what a nice table you have. What would it cost me, 9ft?

Thank you for sharing 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

Great drill.!!! Question: what are some of the best drills for skill level 6 and 7 to get better and to start shooting like the pros? thank you for your videos!

❤

What size tip cue do you use?

Thanks, Neils!!! With this lesson, I have no doubt I'll dominate my upcoming tournament and punch my ticket to the 2024 US Open slated later this year! 😉👍 C ya there, brother!!! I'll spot ya!! 😂😂

loving this

Hi Niels... wanted to hear your thoughts on something subtle I do which helps me with critical shots. I find that if I exhale and hold a few seconds before I take my shot, it helps me "relax" and helps not feel tightness on the neck... Is this something you do? Or do without thinking? Or do you even notice if you are exhaling/inhaling at the moment you take the shot? Thanks!

Hvala Nil ! 🍀🏆

Hi I love your video's I am a fan I am from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean you help me a lot but when I play Tournament l am very afraid so everyone beats me but when I playing free it works out fine can you help me please

I know this video is from a year ago, but instead of putting tape on my cue I just use my break cue without chalk

Niels, we have almost the same condition, but mine is on my right side. Being right handed, I have to aim across my left eye and it can be a real challenge. Same situation as well, my parents brought me in too late and it wasn't possible to get it corrected. It sucks not being able to play baseball or anything else with fast moving objects but pool has always been a passion of mine. Thanks so much for your videos.

Always helpful videos. Thanks.

What if you're a triple a player, and get stuck in practice mode. Even tho you know you shouldn't do it.

When do you use 18 or 20-21 onces stick?

No positives

Holy cow, the value you bring in your videos is off the charts! Thank you!!!

Neils, would love to see a video from you about using the mechanical bridge, and also thinking how to avoid needing to use the mechanical bridge when playing for position!

I've been searching for this kind of video. So helpful, Niels. Thank you for posting.

Amazing 🤩

Thanks Imagine having 5-10 plants and they should just get better year after year. 😊 God is good 👍

Thanks ❤

What if your subconscious can't be trusted? If I play free, I miss too many easy balls. How do you find the balance from having a conscious and disciplined routine and being in a practice mindset?

The most trusted lessons from the Champion, Thank you, Niels!

This is just fantastic training. Well explained and demonstrated. Love this channel.

Wise insights on our beloved sport clearly explained. You could well be a sales trainer also.

This is a Awesome Video... Thanks a lot Niels.

Great lesson. Crazy thing is I freaken know this crap but sometimes I just need to be reminded of it. You’re 100% correct. U need to get back to this thought process. Thanks.

'The Terminator' was Truly a blessing to me when I decided to get everything Right In The Game of Pool. Mr. Vito 'The Surgeon' from Dallas, Texas.

Great video, Niels! I appreciate how you demonstrate your ability to adapt and rethink your patterns after getting out of line. This is a crucial skill that can significantly elevate a player's game. Beginners often fall into the trap of being fixated on their initial pattern, leading to missed opportunities .

I will try this shot tomorrow

Another oscar worthy performance here hahah love the mindset champ keep going🥰

My best feeling ever playing pool happened so long ago I’m not positive about the year but sometime around 2001. I was in the Army stationed in Japan and was playing pool at the same place I always play when 4 or 5 guys walked in. I recognized one of them since I had played him before. He was a very good player and he wound up winning. One of the guys he came in with comes on over and asks if I want to play some nine ball and of course I say yes. As soon as we start playing I can tell that this guy is a really good player. I wind up beating him 3 sets of races to 7 in a row. The most games he won in any set was 4. I played the best I had ever played. I would be down on a shot and say to myself I know I’m going to miss because I can’t play this good for so long so I’m bound to miss. But I was drilling everything in the pocket with great position. The next night I went there again and as soon as I walked in a friend of mine who I often played and who wasn’t even there the night before came up to me and asked me if I knew who I had beaten the night before. I told him I had no idea, that he was just a guy who asked me to play. He informed me that the guy was a great player and was a professional pool player. That made me feel kind of proud but I didn’t give it much thought afterwards. About a month or two later I walk into the same pool hall as I always do and on the counter is a copy of a Japanese Billiard Digest. The player on the cover was the guy I had beat. He was on the cover because he had just won the Japan Open.

im in a wheelchair., and according to competition the only acceptable rule for JUMP ball and MASSE is to hit from higher angle down onto the ball but are you able to do it from a sitting position. for me its virtually impossible especially jumping the ball. since i havent found 1 video online that a player can do it from sitting position. i think at least for those in wheelchairs vs someone standing we should be aloud to scoop the ball. cause i definitely been unable to do jump nor masse' the very 2 things those standing have over me. I should at least i should be aloud to scoop as last resort no?

Loved your training drills. Use them all the time

A very stable open bridge can be made by having the first 2 sections of the index finger pulled back under the third section. The 1st and 2nd are flat on the table. That is to say, tucked back under the third section of the finger. For most shots, I find this more solid and also allows a more comfortable and tighter placement of the thumb. When a higher bridge is needed, it's usually better to put the index finger straight out again to more easily get the height.

Im in vietnam, i cant find any longoni luna nera american pool shaft (vp2 joint & white ferrula) . Please help me
