Max….your 5 tips changed my game forever. I will be signing up for your Pool Academy. Again….these tips are too good. Can’t wait to see the magic in your lessons.
If you year something from erick " fatboy" , tell him that i m still doing good down hear in munich .... we call you once togheter to know the name of hillybilly .....some years ago 😂
One of my student, make a point , it doesn t accept when you say " because the pro do that" like a reason ! I explain him that was to keep the Video short enought! Really great content ! Have a nice day
I just now found you. I’m not a new player, been shooting pool around 42 years, but there’s always something new to learn in the world of pool. New subbie here! Great informative video.
Well Sir this Video is probably the best i ve seen all these years. I am not a beginer also not a Pro but can run out a 9 ball game,8 ball game most of the time. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Swiss
As usual Max, you are flawless in your delivery of both the cue, as well as your lessons and teaching criteria. These five SO important fundamentals here are absolutely paramount for becoming a great player. Great video!
Thanks for calling this a SPORT. I am referree, and an avid student of the game. I have seen first hand the grind that you and other pros have to go through to get through a 12 hour day of tournament play. The casual fan has no idea the work involved to become a consistent professional player. I am amazed at every event that I work. Nice video for beginners.
Thanks a lot Max I've been playing 55 years but I like to go back to basics when I'm not really happy with my game. You helped a lot of folks, thank you so much!
excellent job stressing 5 fundamentals was a great choice for an extremely helpful video. I feel I should watch this everytime b4 i goe to the pool hall. THANK YOU!
I am a new player, your description in the beginning of this, is totally me. I took notes on all your tips and drills. I'm shooting in a weekly tournament today, I'm going to get there early to practice these and hopefully it'll make a difference from last week! Thanks!
@@MaxEberle Hey Max, do you really think the earth is flat? Tell me this isn't true lmao, these guys trolling you man, let's get you're name cleared because their ain't no way you can believe that...
Thanks for the video Max. Always great to be reminded of the basics, especially for those of us that love the game but don’t get a chance to shoot everyday.
Hey Max, once again thanks for the video. I won 7-2 last night at league. The tip about keeping your bridge solid was a big help. I didn’t realize how weak my bridge was until you pointed it out. Great tip. I shared the video with the guys at my pool room.
Good stuff Max! The first one, stroking balls into the pocket without a cue ball is great, and something that can be revisited anytime my stroke is off. Thanks!
Very helpful. Those are exactly the mistakes i have been doing for serveral years. Thank you for this instructional video which has helped me become a better pool player.
One small addition to that first drill is to lay a cue on top of the rails, parallel to the line of balls, maybe three or four inches behind the line of balls. After the stroke, your shooting cue is underneath the one on the rails, and it becomes hard to just pop your body up after the shot. Of course, this addition addresses the pop up only, assuming it still exists after follow through training. New subscriber here, low intermediate level, but i still need to work to get better. Its hard because im old, and remember when i was pretty good. Now the eyes do t work as good, and it seems ive lost some flexibility, lol Thanks, Max.....
Ive got 3 months in after a 22 year break. Thanks so much. Ive done so much better practicing today. My follow through and head movement needs work. Im correcting a bad habit of lifting my head while shooting
I'm a little late to this video, but hey i found it. Max, this is a great video on the basics that most regular players do wrong. I for one did all those mistakes until a "pro-ish" friend of mine said, let's get it right and focus on that and only that. It's the best move I have ever done. So thanks for refreshing it for all of us. If I lived in America, I would get in touch with you and take some privat lessons, but as I live in Denmark, I will enjoy your work here on TH-cam. Again a big thanks, Max. PS. Sorry for my bad written english, I sure hope it makes a little sense. /Chris.
I took a two day course from Mark Wilson all about mechanics. Great investment. Was i a better shooter immediately? No. But i now have a foundation worth building on. Great videos Max! Keep it up.
I recently tried closing my eyes right before shots (after the practice strokes) on random balls. Only missed one of 15 - a real improvement! I'll definitely try that more often. It really forces better fundamentals.
Thanks Truman! Nice to hear from you and that you’re alive and kicking. Can you believe it’s now been more than 20 years ago since we met and played 9-Ball at Hollywood Billiards? Crazy huh. All my best always my friend 😎👊
This reiterates a lot of the things Chris Reinhold went through with me when I did a lesson with him. I'm an APA 7 in 8-ball and 8 in 9-ball... but I'm streaky and make a mistake that other 7s/8s just don't make regularly in every other rack... usually a miss that a 7 has no business missing. I need to film myself to see if it's my bridge hand or body movement. My follow through and body alignment has gotten more consistent after the lesson... and I do notice when I rush a shot, and that was the cause... it's the shots that I miss and I know those 2 things were good that leave me questioning what I did wrong... Aim? Body movement? Didn't adjust enough for cut (or spin) induced throw? Bridge hand movement? Great video Max... subscribed
I am so thrilled i found you!! i struggle and this is definitely helpful! I like that you are taking your time to talk to "us/me" detailed, articulate and patient. Please continue with your content. I just subscribed - keep it up!!
Max i am currently 15 years old. I hope to be a professional pool player some day and im making some good progress!!! But i havent curently ran out in 9 or 8 ball. Do you have any tips for running out a rack? Also do you remember when you first ran out?
Hey Max, hope you're well. Did I play any part in you trusting the open bridge? Showing that I could use it for 26mph break and all manner of english with reliability?
@@MaxEberle Hi max, here's my old videos showing Open Bridge power / sidespin shots and the Power Break. Apologize for low res. From 2007. th-cam.com/video/keznf66dSHE/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/xW1tsONEI_U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! I play with a Meucci pro series 5 with custom rings and colors… and a zan hybrid Max tip… break cue is Meucci with a bulletproof tip and Piku is good too
YW and thank you! Good luck with your channel, you can do it! Lately my practice time is up and down... maybe 7-20 hours per week?? Should be more if I was full time touring pro but I'm kind of busy with everything else too... 8 hours a day of practice is good for a full time fully sponsored pro.
Max what’s up man!? It’s been a while! You may not remember me but I ran into you in the bathroom at a tournament and I said what’s up Max then you stabbed me in the eye with a feather pen. It was very vivid for me. I thought it was weird that you even had a feather pen on you and it hurt immensely but I got over it. Anyways just seeing how you’re doing. Thanks for the memories buddy!
I don't use a closed bridge. That finger that goes over the cue blocked my view. I've tried using it over the years but it just doesn't work for me. My accuracy is reduced a lot.
I'm not able to do some of the bridges because my fingers aren't that flexible. Is there anything to help with that? I'm trying to get a copy of your book soon. The video has helped me correct some of those beginner mistakes I'm still doing.
I will try aim while standing im avarege player in 20 games i cann run maybe 4 or 5 rounds, i pratice per week more than 25 hours in pool i want to become great player tnx you Max.
Dude this guy is fuckin awesome. I'm a new player, and have been losing consistently in my league, I have a coach already. I literally just watched the video yesterday and have been having a hell of a time diagnosing my stroke (sending the cueball down the table and back to the tip of my cue after bouncing off the opposite rail) it was my bridge!! Liked and subbed and watching your other stuff too. Thanks a lot man!
Hey Max, I know it’s not necessarily you’re decision, but do you ever plan on doing Joe Rogan’s podcast? I was genuinely surprised to learn that you have never been on the podcast. Based on what he has said, you two have a good relationship, and I feel you two would have a fantastic conversation. I hope it happens one day.
The FIRST thing I'm going to purchase when I get money & a place to live is going to be a nice Billiards table. I wanna be really good at pool. So, next step......find a way to make a lot of money.🤔
This video will have, like, 8000 views. After 2 years, yet a girl will do a bikini Trt on haul and have 3.8 million views.pool is a pretty tough racket.
WHAT A TREMENDOUS INSTRUCTIONAL!! Thank you MAX for making this. This is very helpful.

Hey Max, greetings from Sacramento, u gave me a lesson around a month ago. Thanks again, this vid is awesome
Hi Eric, thanks man! How’s your game coming along now?
Hi Max. Ron Rosas was praising your stroke mechanics, mental discipline and pool game the other day. He also says to tell you hi!!!🎱
Thanks Gianni! Ron is an awesome guy and wonderful player. I’m honored to hear those kind words from him. Please tell him hola amigo for me! Thanks 😊
excellent job stressing 5 fundamentals was a great choice for an extremely helpful video. I feel I should watch this everytime b4 i goe to the pool hall. THANK YOU!
Thanks Timothy! Yes imagine how good you’ll be when you truly master these principles. Good thinking! 😎🏆👍
Focus on the process, not the result. Works great in pool and golf also. Thanks Max!
Yes you're correct! You're welcome!

Hey Max,
It was wonderful catching up with you at Aloha a couple of weeks ago. So, do you give private lessons?
Robert
Max i am currently 15 years old. I hope to be a professional pool player some day and im making some good progress!!! But i havent curently ran out in 9 or 8 ball. Do you have any tips for running out a rack? Also do you remember when you first ran out?
Really great advice here Max, lots to learn for all levels of experience.
Thanks!
Awesome video, Max!!!
Thank you Marshall!
Hey Max, hope you're well. Did I play any part in you trusting the open bridge? Showing that I could use it for 26mph break and all manner of english with reliability?
Hi Colin! Not sure if you did but good job! Actually yeah the open bridge reduces friction which is awesome for a really powerful break isn’t it👍😎👊

Hey Max like the video you always put up nice lessons
Thank you Fred! Glad you like them. New one out later today.
What’s your thoughts on using a glass coke bottle to get muscle memory on your stroke. Make a video on that please.
I like it a lot. Ok let’s see thanks!
Max what’s up man!? It’s been a while! You may not remember me but I ran into you in the bathroom at a tournament and I said what’s up Max then you stabbed me in the eye with a feather pen.

I don't use a closed bridge. That finger that goes over the cue blocked my view. I've tried using it over the years but it just doesn't work for me. My accuracy is reduced a lot.
Well you have a point. As long as you found the way that works best for you!

Thank you for this great video!
Not just for new pool players but in general. I’ve played for years but still make it a point to make sure my fundamentals are sharp.
Very good, I subscribed, thanks.
Hey Max very helpful, do you prefer an open bridge or closed bridge? Also do you turn your bridge hand slightly?
It depends on the shot
I will try aim while standing im avarege player in 20 games i cann run maybe 4 or 5 rounds, i pratice per week more than 25 hours in pool i want to become great player tnx you Max.
Sounds like you're doing really well, keep up the good practice and see how that aiming works for you! You're very welcome.
I like that cue Mr. Eberle.
Dude this guy is fuckin awesome. I'm a new player, and have been losing consistently in my league, I have a coach already.

Liked and subbed and watching your other stuff too. Thanks a lot man!
Thanks man, and you're welcome! Man you're gonna get better fast with a stronger bridge, happy for you!
Best thing that helped me was fixing my crappy bridge.
Good for you!
good explain, i just think you make all "hard" shot, i allways play soft soft, and many times i think i maybe need to punch alot harder on my shot.
Well I live soft shots too… especially on a very level table. Learn to hit hard and accurate though so you have that when you need it👍
It’s a lot easier to learn when you know why you’re doing what you’re doing. For example why follow through? Why have a strong hand?
Hey Max, I know it’s not necessarily you’re decision, but do you ever plan on doing Joe Rogan’s podcast? I was genuinely surprised to learn that you have never been on the podcast. Based on what he has said, you two have a good relationship, and I feel you two would have a fantastic conversation. I hope it happens one day.
Thầy ơi em muốn theo thầy
Fatboy Approved
Hope your good Max🤩
Thanks Fatboy!!😎👊🏆💪
You dont have to punch all balls in try to ease your stroke so the new players understand the mechanics of a follow through better
Thank you yes I should hit a few softer you’re right!
If anyone gets these fundamentals down there Pool game will be Pure ZEN POOL. 🤠
Their*
My fingers aren't long enough to do that for a closed bridge!
Well you may have to do the loop bridge and just hold it tight, put enough pressure on your middle finger to the table...
