I'm a Tor Lowry patreon. Each quarter they let me submit a video of me playing, and they provide feedback on my strengths and weaknesses. This is the current level I hold as of October 2023. I've done small changes to my stance and stroke, and I'm still making improvements. I'm playing on a diamond table with 3.9 inch pockets.

Very good video! i like the subtle lead into the next video as well :) You'll do well. Do you have a video that covers speed? All videos seem to cover aiming and applying spin. Very few go the third degree with the speed and the same aim line and spin applied.
force of cue = (its mass × its acceleration ) × sin 35.
Regardless, you have to know how to hit the object ball, that doesn’t help me at all
Thank you! So much good information.
Funny how you mention "adaptation" but you allow none of it and excuse it for hopelessly firing at will. Yes, haters are always going to say what you say they will say...of course, BUT, the real world lays outside the expanse of your insincere mind buddy. You don't fool me with your schemes here. Pool is a realm. You dont play pool, you play game theories. Game theories for pool such as 9ball etc etc have a declared start and end point, built upon a surrounding score that has the final say. With billions of litteral shot relationships and its own criteria, along with its varying degree of demand, ADAPTATION, is an inescapable component in which, the easiest shots as a binary rule of simply pocketing the ball....can be missed, as well as (pay attention) POSITION in every sense of the word as it applicably APPLIES, can, PUT STRESS, on the easiest "of" shots. ADAPTABILITY is the inescapable deciding factor, all things being equal. The only thing GENIUS for you to derive from your lack of integrity is the fact that TH-cam will not allow me to BLOCK your sorry ass. 🤔... what was it that Tony Montana said in Scarface....oh heh😏: "HE SAY go puh yer finger... in'son DYKE"
"The key to a good stroke (?)" Bro 🤣

This is flavor of the week video! Next month practice strokes will be back in fashion, so he can make another video.
these videos are great, when are you gonna start uploading again?
Very useful video. Loved the tips and will apply them to my game.
make an angle with stick hit cue aim at the ball.
good advice
The exact same thing applies to golf. Crazy.
Need more video
nice 👌🏽
Best advice ever. Thanks!
Thank you!! <3
Best advice ever. Thanks!
As boring as it sounds, planting the rearward foot as precise as possible is the start of my setup routine. But I agree, to cue confidently, you need to stick to your setup routine. As a RH player my left foot placement is my priority after deciding the cue ball strike while planning the shot for position. Then get down, commit to take the shot, trust your technique (don’t overthink that when cueing, that’s what practice is for)
I do that as well. Along with just holding my stick on my hip to help get that back foot in line.
Thanks for your videos! Could you make one focusing on the stance? Where to place your feet, how low to go, how to make a bridge (including over another ball), bridge distance from cue ball, closing one eye etc. If anyone knows any good videos covering this please link me 🙂
I think tor lowrys pool secrets cover this very well!
woooow que tirosss

Try turning your knuckles towards the floor(counter-clockwise) on your grip. Not a ton. Just a bit. I got this from Break From Lifes Channel and it really helped. Experiment with it til all is well
JL Chang is a great example of a Pro with a SHORT back swing. Chang is a large man amongst his fellow pool professionals, and yet his back swing is very short and compact, and his play is amongst the best on the planet. Shortening my back swing has vastly improved my shot making & overall game...
Slow rollers Rule. Baby
For some reason tables have tiny pockets here in Peru, certain angles are just imposible.
As a female pool player, this has been my downfall. I'm known as a 'soft shooter' and have had many people compliment this about me. However when it comes time to get to the other end of the table, I tend to leave myself long shots that while I'm comfortable shooting, are more likely to leave myself bad for the next shot. Hitting more aggressively causes me to miss my ball more, but shortening my back swing has helped.
Slow rolling does not increase throw. Speed increases throw
Quote from Dr.Dave: "At larger cut angles (i.e., thinner hits), the amount of CIT is significantly larger for slower speed shots as compared to faster speed shots. " billiards.colostate.edu/faq/throw/speed-effects/

Great tips for newbs and reminders for experienced players.
is it neccesary to put chalk before every shot if your not doin some spinning stuff magic on the cue ball?
With modern chalks like v10 etc, you don't HAVE to do it, but I would highly recommend it. It's something familiar and safe, so it can calm you when you're nervous.
So when i jump shot i need to hit the object ball without hitting the carpet?
No, that would probably make you decelerate, so don't do that. But keep it short and quick. I like to think stop when I hit the cloth.
5 is not that great. 3 and 4 are very helpful.
looks like you are droping you shoulder please explain
Excellent video 👍
fedor gorst form right ?
yes! I have a tutorial about that particular way of jumping.
I like it...Your suggestions all make sense and for practice at least I will try the drill at the end of the video. I have a friend who uses this during play and he is deadly accurate.
waiting for the next video!! love watching these super beneficial
Nice video and tips. I have to disagree with the “don’t ever get up” tip as sometimes you haven’t lined up straight or got the stance right as opposed to having doubt about the shot. In those cases I always benefit from standing up and resetting and always regret staying down to just play the shot, which 99% of the time I end up missing. But I’ll try the other tips 😎
A lot of people are misunderstanding that tip, and it probably comes down to me not being clear enough. When I say standing up and reseting is a "double edge sword", I mean it has two sides, one good and one bad. The bad being you allowing doubt to come into your mind at any given time, even right before pulling the trigger. So the tip is most of all a practice method (and I say this, but people still think I mean "don't ever get up"). If you practice like this you develop a better pre shot routine, since you have to commit to the line of shot and tip placement you vizualize while standing. And you get to experience how it feels to shoot without doubt, meaning you develop confidence. You'll see that a lot of times you feel doubt, you are infact properly aligned. So practice like this for 10 minutes and see how it feels afterwards.
Yes👍🎱
Do you have to use a jump cue?
You should, yes. You can pull off a longer jumpshot with a break cue, but if your only option is using a playing cue with a softer tip and low deflection shaft, I wouldn't recommend trying to jump.
I will only acknowledge the pot that goes in without any cushion help. ❤
Can you do a video showing some of the tricks ladyboys use in Thailand?
My comfort zone is when I gots about 6 or 7 chili dog's in me and maybe a case a Coor's Light buddy, and when I start rippin fart's, the dog's is barking. Then I know I'm good.
What I noticed. 1) The top elbow moves out after your pause and before your stroke. Anticipating the shot? It is fine during your pre-strokes. 2) Your wrist is not parallel to the ground, it is bent outward; this could cause your elbow issue…and your straight stroke issue. 3) You are bending both legs, which is fine for some people, but it is harder to keep the body still with all that movement. NOTE: I also have a hard time completely stopping the cue ball on stop shots; it tends to go right or left. I think my issue is not seeing straight on the cue ball. I have been told my stroke is straight, so I figured that is what it is. Need to find my vision center and memorize it.
I agree with using a bottle to stroke through, but with a modification… I generally shoot right handed, but decided to shoot left handed this year. One of the things I noticed is my cueing is not straight, mostly horizontally. I checked my stance, alignment, etc. and cannot find much out of line to be cueing that way. My solution: I took two clear plastic water bottles (smallest diameter I had), cut them, and taped them together so both small ends were lined up and on each end. I used cardboard to raise the modified bottle to the height of my bridge hand. I started cueing slowly through one, then through both. It was a bit of a pain starting off because the bottle kept moving, but that was instant feedback for correction. Once I was cueing better, I sped up to my stroke speed while cueing through both holes. Cueing through both holes in the bottles put my focus on cueing straight. If I keep practicing this, I am confident I will cue straighter with this technique. Muscle memory: Once I started stoking through the bottle, I could feel my upper arm muscles getting sore. It did not take too long to feel my muscles getting sore. With that said, I think this method is a way of training my muscles to deliver a straight stroke. -> For those who cannot figure out why you do not stroke straight when everything else seems to be ok, try practicing this technique and you may discover a your muscles need to be “retrained” to help you perform better. - The hard part is finding something that keeps your cue straight while you practice your strokes. You can place a cardboard box on each side of your cue while cueing, as I saw in another YT video. I just find the modified bottle method easier to do at home and it can be adjusted as you see fit. You could even set the bottles up to practice a jump stroke. NOTE: This is a good time to review and work on any other stroke or stance imperfections as well. Hope it helps someone.
it only took 4 seconds for ignoramus to grossly misuse literally!!!
Thanks for this video! Just found your channel this week, and they have been super helpful in my preparation for the national championship this weekend. Finished 3rd and got a medal for the first time. Repeated "process, process, process" like a mantra during those difficult final balls, and it helped! Keep up the good work, and see you around some time. -Iselin, OBK. 🫡🎱🥉
Thanks 💪🏼👍🏻
Sometimes, the DART stroke is the only option if the 2 balls r too close.....Then what do we do?
The "shorten your backstroke" tip is one that has served me well when I remember to do it. I'm a tall, lanky kind of guy and I naturally want to have this super long backstroke. When I shorten it to what I feel is the minimum I can get away with my accuracy with the shot and position play both go up. The issue is that it's not muscle memory yet so I still end up reverting to the long backstroke in moments of anxiety.
