    There’s been so many rule changes over the years, from world rules, blackball, ultimate rules etc. One point that’s always been controversial is the “deliberate” foul rule in each rule set. So I was wondering, which bread do you prefer? Hovis or Warburtons?

    Even though I don't play "English 8 ball" (I think that is what you call it) there are so many common factors with American 8 ball that I find this channel really helping me. I also really like your no-nonsense straight forward way of communicating. The fact you are a brilliant player teaching this gives your training so much credibility.

      Thank you and keep tuned, we may even do a bit of the American stuff 😉

    Cheers Mick! For some reason I love a Q&A from all different niches! I must be some sort of alien, I find if I watch people playing too much, I try too hard to emulate and end up screwing (see what I did there) up. Definitely get the guys anxiety as well, somehow in league matches it seems too rushed! The tuts and whispers really do get to you so I sometimes find myself playing a shot in 5 seconds that I should have taken 15 to line up properly!

    The only thing I would say is that it's better to watch in person compared to watching on the TV. Always looks much easier on the TV than actually being in front of the table. Keep up the great content mick 😀

    hi Mick thanks for addressing my question.
    Alas i dont play much pool now,having lost my partner 4 years ago
    i just watch lots of pool on youtube and whether the public or pool players
    class you as one of the best pool players of all time,one things 100 percent certain
    you are without question one of the humblest and down to earth pool players of all time.
    be nice if more of your exhibitions were shown,ive watched the one from the Shoot Pool & Snooker Club in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire! very enjoyable viewing.

    Enjoyed the Q&A, I'm hoping to get to Tiger Cues this weekend to have a feel for what fits me but the online stock has dwindled and the contact number has an auto reply saying they're experiencing "unprecedented demand" fingers crossed I'll be able to start the process of selecting/ordering soon as I've just had my first win in my local league which was my goal before upgrading my 20 YO Marco Fu 2 piece. I'd add on the question about improvement, practice isn't necessarily good on its own, if you're practicing a bad habit you'll just lock it in and not know what's going wrong, getting some time with a coach or a better player who's willing to give you some pointers is really great.

    • @mickthemachinehill
      @mickthemachinehill  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      All the good cue manufacturers are in demand. Hopefully you may not have to wait too long.
      Practice is key, if on your own then try to analyse your weaknesses and concentrate on improving those.

      It’s a preference thing. Try a few and see what you feel comfortable with.

    Hey Mick, in regards to the 2 rail spin question. There's been the odd occassion, for example kicking at a ball, where i had to play off 2 cushions and I tried to change the line with side, but then I noticed that the spin off the first and second cushions tend to cancel out, i.e. left spin off the first cushion widens the angle, but then it narrows it off the 2nd cushion. And inevitably I have no idea how I could have hit my ball. So I guess a question is how could someone guarentee a wider / narrower angle off 2 cushions for those tricky situations? Or to put it another way, when is it beneficial to use side for position off 2 rails?

    • @mickthemachinehill
      @mickthemachinehill  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is a lot of environmental factors such as cloth, cushions etc, but when the spin has finished then it travel of the ball and therefore the angle is dictated by the law of reflection.

      No

    • @darktherapy

      It wouldn’t really work as the cue ball return mechanism wouldn’t work on pre-pay tables.

    Just want to take this opportunity to thank you for a memory that will last the rest of my days. th-cam.com/video/uzOtDRCw1SM/w-d-xo.html
    I was lucky to snooker you in the first frame and lucky you missed the black in the 2nd. Amazing show leading up to the black when I felt initially you had nothing much on, and I'm under no illusion that had I been a proffesional player, you'd of just rolled the black in!
    Anyway, thanks for an amazing night / memory and keep up the great video's. I'm learning from every one!
    I just wish I had your cueball control.👍
