    When I am teaching someone this shot in order to simplify the English, so it is not confusing.I tell them to hit the cue ball on the side where the pocket they are shooting at is located. So if You're cutting. the object ball to the right you woud hit the cue ball on the right, (running english) and vice versa. This was a good demonstration! Thank you Bryan! Great programming.

    Another great instructional video. Ive watched this several times, when I start kicking the ball off the rail more than making it, I
    rewatch for a refresher. Loved the 3 rail shot, but the low left hand shot is being adding to my practice list.

    I use to play a lot of pool and could run an eight ball rack, but I haven’t played in years. I am a lot older now and seem to have difficulty aiming. Anyway I can’t seem to shoot anywhere near like I used too. I enjoy your videos and think if I can apply some of your lessons I can recapture some of my shooting skills. I have forgotten the exact effects of english on the cue ball and the object ball. I am 81 years old and wear glasses. Thank you for your videos.

    You chuckled about age, but I just took a 4 year layoff at age 60 and came back at 64. Then, got back into league play. I'm fortunate, as my poolhall says "league players play for free" and I have an open schedule so I can go play for hours uninterrupted. My "stroke" didn't take very long to come back but I found myself struggling on shots that I hadn't before. Even simple shots I was dribbling. I dropped from a 6 to a 4 in 9 ball over the course of a couple of session (yes, I was getting beaten badly by higher ranked players and easily by lower ranked players). I mean, I was getting killed over missed shots. I thought it was stroke so I continued practicing for long hours. Discovered two weeks ago "I CAN'T SEE THE DANG BALL" like I used to. So,I started putting on "cheaters" for close shots and was waaaaaaay more accurate in potting AND position". Long shots, still a bit of a struggle, but I cut down distance because of much improved positional play. Scheduling a time to go have my lasik adjusted. To be honest though, I knew my vision was slightly less clear than 4 years ago, but had no idea how much it effected my shot.
    got to thinking, Jason Shaws nickname is eagle eye. Realized that when I came back mine should have been squinty eye lol.
    Great video. Thank you :)

    @schiffy1178 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @larrywhitesell4139
    @larrywhitesell4139 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Really enjoyed that video. Excellent instruction.
    Would have loved to see you go for some of those very difficult shots that might not be practical in normal circumstances, but might be necessary to try to stay in a game when no better option is available. I wanted to see you shoot the shot with the seven on the long rail and the eight all the way down on the short rail opposite end and you go three rails to get to that eight, possibly four rails, five if you include coming off the rail at the seven. Anyway, you're motivating me to get back on the table...... Those are very interesting drills that I want to try, especially the rail shots with spin. I've always been able to slice the ball pretty good but not so good when applying spin. I'm going to start out with pretty short shots. You are a wealth of knowledge Brian

    Nice video, I already know how to shoot rail shots generally but the nuances and drills are helpful.
    The stop shot to get into cross corner position is a nice touch, I could have figured that out on my own I think, but sometimes having someone say something out loud is really helpful. Now I will see that position and have an immediate plan. Well done!

      Well I didn’t have much trouble with rail shots on the short rails but I missed a ton of rail shots on the long rails. It’s like I can’t tell where to hit the ball, especially the dark balls.

  • @DavidWolfensperger
    @DavidWolfensperger ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have always shot that side rail shot with the opposite english, and I will tell you why. With inside english on the cue ball you transfer opposite english onto the object ball meaning that it will roll along the side rail with less chance that it will grab the rail and move off the rail - it will simply roll along the rail.
    However, I am glad to know your preference so that I can feel confident to try it your way for better possitioning of the cue ball if necessary. Thank you.

  • @kenhall3851
    @kenhall3851 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another great video! A player from NY and another legend of the game both showed me how to make this shot with speed and more of a stun shot. Inside english as you said. But you can hit the OB much fuller by hitting the cueball firmer. With a high deflection cue, you can almost aim directly at center on the object ball. With a carbon fiber, aim halfway between center on the object ball and it's edge (so about 3/4 of the ball). Deflection and the stun will cause the cueball to veer into the proper position to pocket the ball AND make it easier to move 3 rails around table for a ball on the other end of the table.

I $h!t you not. 5 minutes of your vid and I'm hitting 70% after only a 5 minutes practice run. My son-in-law is so so off the rail but talks crap about me when my shot's off the rail. TONIGHT....He's in for a rude awaking. THANK YOU.

    Hey Bryan - Great subject. These shots can be a run-ender if you let them intimidate you. Been practicing some of these shots from previous videos; like force follow. I use a variation of the first drill often. I'm going to give these a try and see how I do. I think these "older eyes" just might be able to still do it. :-) Thanks again for what you do.
