Thank you for the tips 🙂
We need that Richocet 20s video!
Cool. How do you line up your shot when placing at the far ends of your shooting zone?
What happened to a video every couple of weeks? There were only 3 videos 3 years ago! Lol
I just got introduced to this game....and oh do I suck at it! Lol!
Way to completely overthink this most simple of games.
When are you going to make more videos?
I had inconsistent disks aswell. Some had what can only be described as a nipple. I am normally quite keen nipples but not these. Saw no need for the spinning side so i sanded them down flat. And finished with clear spray paint. Now they glide beautifully. On every side. What i am trying to say, ask: Why would you want difirent sided disks anyway? And inconsistend disks for that matter.
How do you like your ColoradoCrokinole board?
😮 @2:57 ~ Is that what they call it nowadays… 😳
Welp just got our board and the whole family watched everything… and now we want more ;) appreciate ya brother
Why did you stop mate!! You're videos are awesome! And very good tips in there!! Will be hoping and waiting for more
Excellent technical advice from an expert.
Great video - content and presentation! Also, nice decor :)
Do you always shoot/fling on the same position on the disc? That is, shooting the disc on center always? Or do you perform some left/right spin sometimes?
Good speak. We think this too, with my brother a long time in Hungary. There are some secret options too...
This guy is the Michael Jordan of Crokinole. Respecc.
How is the Colorado board compared to the Tracey board?
One thing for me is that this technique makes your shot weak, i mean i barely can knock of my opponents disks. Any advice? Should I use my thumb for more powe?
"I would rather stay up all night waxing my disc" That sentence is too semantically similar to you know what lol
Pretty good content!
Thanks for the tips.
The cat is the undisputed star of this vid. Kidding. Very well done, sir.
Nice video Justin.
Great tips, certainly need to pay more attention approaching the board state.
Hi. Is the index/flicking finger also touching/ sliding on the board, or does that finger only push the puck? Thanks
I'm interested in buying a board and getting into Crokinole here soon. Is it worth it to go ahead and spend the money and get a Tracey? Do you have experience on any other boards that you may suggest? Thanks for your time
Thanks this helps a lot
Thank you for this!
Where else do you get the world champion of a sport coaching openly on TH-cam
Does your shooting finger graze the thumb?
Just came across your games and you are a rockstar man. Keep it up
just found your channel, would love to see more videos!
Your cat has big ears.
He must really be putting in work on the ricochet 20 video since it has been over a year haha. Too bad these videos stopped. Really great tutorials and well spoken by a world champion player. Hope he is doing well.
Hi Justin.. I’m a total newbie…. Thanks for the technique video.. question: where do you look (focus) when making the actual shot? Should i be looking at the shooting disk or the target disk / line? Thanks again.
what's your cat's name
So glad this exists- we got a Crokinole table for Christmas and everyone was trying to figure out how to shoot. Your videos really gave me a competitive edge!
2:20 may have helped me save my marriage! My wife becomes incredibly frustrated when trying to play and never seemed to improve. Her shot always went off to one side despite my working with her repeatedly to ensure her arm and hand are frozen in place with finger extended towards the target and inline with her eye. Over and over and over it would go off to the side and hit the peg. This would result in her breaking into some of the foulest language I have ever heard from her in 25 years of marriage and becoming too frustrated to play. We were at an impasse as how could I stay with this woman to whom I have been married for 25 years if she could not play crokinole? The solution came as I thought about her eye lining with the disc, finger and target. I had her make an "ok" sign with her thumb and forefinger and focus on a point on the opposite wall with both eyes open. Once she was focused I had her close her left eye and the object focused on jumped out of the "o". When she opened her left eye and closed her right it jumped back into place. She is RIGHT HANDED and LEFT EYE DOMINANT! Once we figured that out and she began lining up her LEFT eye with disc, finger and target things got much better!
Create content, Justin. I'm looking forward to your next videos.
Sometimes I stay up all night waxing my disk 🤣
Regarding the shot technique, is it all index finger or does the thumb play a part too?
Ok, weirdest rabbit hole I ever got to on YT… There’s a game called… “crokinole”?
As a bowler of 32 years and a new crokinole player, these step by step “rituals” make a lot of sense to me. Thanks for sharing these techniques; You could just rest on your laurels as a legend, but you are doing all of us a huge service here. Update: after giving this a serious try, I felt bit of a contortion going on-like learning guitar chord shapes for the first time. It definitely made sense by the second hour of drilling; Form work takes awhile and this is no exception. One thing I found that helped me was to extend my index finger toward my target as I got my hand in place-As a real noob, I found that motion of pointing and retracting my index finger helped me orient the proper axis of my shot. I have already seen a marked increase in my accuracy. This is especially apparent with long/ tricky shots (Hogan’s Alley etc). Thanks again!
This is great! I’m going to try this tomorrow!
Can you do a video on angles and aiming for how to get control? In other words what is best angle to hit at or other technique to insure best chance the disc ends up where you want it. Great videos!
Hey Justin! Please don’t make us wait for the next global shutdown for more videos! Your first few were awesome. Hope all is well and that you’ll be continuing the content. Thanks!
So helpful! Thank you!
Great video on some strategies! I’m a new player and really like the game. Your video on how to hold and flick the disc was excellent . My husband is a terrific player so I have my work cut out for me.
I too play the 'nole
