- Today we are learning how to Stop. Jumping. Up. Having a calm mind and staying down on our shots will help us tremendously, and this video covers how to "train the jump up out of you" so that, over time, you can get down this fundamental piece of your game. Welcome to Train With Me episode 27!

This is so valuable and a subject that’s been on my mind. True, jumping up is a flinch because we are sometimes so nervous about the result. Learn to do it regardless of the result, and voila!, soon the results get better too! This is a bit like Ralph Ekert’s statement “Don’t focus on de results. Focus on de process and de results will follow”.
👍
Teaching me to stay down following my shot is helping me learn how to improve my accuracy by being aware of my follow through (is the cue tip veering to the side or going in an upward direction?), and like you said, it gives information on how to correct if I’m hitting the object ball too thick or thin. Great reminder!!
This was the hardest part to correct when I was working on my stroke.

Oh man! What a great subject. Nice video as always. I have so many thoughts on this one, I might just make a tangentially related video.
I’m with you on staying down, and for training purposes emphasizing it- but that brings up so many misconceptions about what it’s for and what it’s related to.
Let’s not kid ourselves. What happens to the cue tip after making contact with the cueball is irrelevant to the outcome of the shot, unless you’re working with telekinetic powers 😂. However, like you said, that flinch movement has a way of showing up during and before striking the cueball if it’s not trained. I just like making it clear that realistically, as long as it’s after contact, you’re fine.
This is tangentially related to follow through. Everyone talks about having a good follow through (what happens after contact with the cueball) and while I have a big follow through, it’s not necessarily mandatory to have for a great stroke. Just look at svb.
Also tangentially related, different strokes are required for different players. Body type, stance, alignment, comfortability, natural playstyle, etc all come into play when it comes to creating clearance for the cue to move under your chin. So “moving” during or close to the end of your stroke may be called for on certain shots for certain strokes. I know if I’m power drawing I need a bit more chest clearance for my hand/elbow drop, so I raise my head slightly. This isn’t the same as flinching, but again, tangential.
Okay. Rant over- but yeah I might do a video on it. Great subject my friend.

Perfect video for me. Because I have this problem lol😂😅. My friend even noticed it saying I gotta stay down so I'm working on it.
@@zanethind 💯
This is common🤗
@@SlateBilliardClub yeah I just hate staying still lol
Can you make a video about back cuts into the corner pockets?
Subconciously, I do beleive that some may jump up to prevent 'seeing what happens'. In my case, I have always been an athlete and tend to have fairly tight hamstrings and quads. Getting down on the shot line with my back leg straight to provide stability is sometime a bit uncomfortable especially when I down very low with my chin near the cue. I tend to believe there are times that I do jump up when I am not focused on staying down because of the natural inclination to get my body in a more comfortable position. I would like to be a 'chin down on the cue' kind of player cuz i do see the cueball better down there. At this point, however, the only way to consisently get low in by having a stance which allows some bend in the back leg. I have been told not to do this. Anyhow, great topic and just adding an alternative perspective. Anyone else experience this who also happens to have pretty darn tightly strung hamgstrings. Maybe yoga is the solution to staying down on the shot :).
@michaelpapenfus260
Great response!
I'd say staying down with the chin isn't needed, just what I do and I mentioned how I use that to anchor staying down at times
If you need to be more upright or have a leg bend for medical/physical reasons I'd say that's no problem at all
It's a flinch thing for most
If a person can't maintain a held stillness after the shot because of leg, back stiffness, etc.. I'd put that in a physical/medical impairment type category and I always tell people to plz disregard what I'm suggesting in that case and just do what's physically comfortable and sustainable 🤗
Joshua Filler does not stay down much either like he does but he's so quick it looks like he's getting up but he's just so great that he makes any ball possible like that

@@Diasx thanks 🤗
How about a lesson on how to develop a steady stroke? When I focus on a smooth pure effortless power stroke my cue tends to wobble a bit, so I pick up the pace to eliminate the wobble and end up hitting too hard.
@MrCooper0705
Cool 💡
I like it!!
Couple quick hits-
1. Try thinking about the stroke as smooth back and accelerating through. Try using the stroke length (not bridge length) to control the force. The more compressed stroke length will aid in minimizing the wobbles
2. Ignore the wobble and focus on accurately striking the cueball. If and when I've ever focused on a wobble in my stroke it's made it worse. It's not a sexy answer, but my answer is try ignoring and accepting some wobble and focus on a smooth accelerating strike to an accurate point on the cue ball
Another instructor teaches, after your shot, pretend that your picture is being taken with an old box camera and IF YOU MOVE , the picture will be lost. COUNT TO FOUR, before you move, the picture will be fine then!
@@markevenson987 noice!!!
will you do an in depth video about the grip
@thatni66aford yep!!
Just as a start..
I hink about the grip as "lose"
I put most of the grip pressure on my front three fingers
I think about opening up my grip/hand/fingers like like a wing/feathers on a bird as my stroke goes back and closing it as it comes forward to the bottom of the pendulum
Right at the bottom of the pendulum I think about it snapping forward (think "flick") with all the fingers gripping and applying pressure through the finish
Does that make any sense🤔😂
*the only other thing I'd add is that I try to have my wrist hanging straight down (again lose helps this) at the bottom of my pendulum (90° forearm down from elbow)
@thatni66aford btw..
Where you from??
Hi champ i once saw the cj wiley video that poking the ball is more effective than to push it is it true?
@rifqifalih1968 poking sounds/ seems like stopping your stroke on the follow through
Pushing sounds/seems like accelerating through
I have a video that talks about "pushing the button"
Maybe check that one out!
CJ was a monster in the 80 and 90s. One of the best in the world. He's a passionate student of the game and teacher.
I don't get into his technical teaching, but his pedigree is elite
