- These new series are a massive game changer!!! When I got these drills from Alex Lely in 2013, I won the World Pool Masters, went on to win the World title in 2014 plus another 5 tournaments in a row. They made me a much more complete player and now I want to share them with You!
An overview of Safety Drills The Pro's Don't Want You To Know About! Episode 1: 4 Squares
Rules for the drill:
- Cue ball must cross the middle of the table minimum 1x
- Cue ball must land in one of the 4 squares where the middle of the cue ball has to cross the zone line
- You may kick at the object ball
- On a scratch, the cue ball is placed on the headspot
- When the object ball is accidentally pocketed, it comes on the footspot.
- When you score a point, you keep shooting

Love the drill! Niels should get an oscar for his "aw shucks" acting when "missing" the example shots in the beginning. Lol Love it!
Hahahaha good fun!! Tnx!! 🙏🏻😄
Yeah, looks like a late night infomercial! Lol
True. That fun thing about his videos is just great!
The very last thing you said is probably the best thing I’ve heard about learning pool… “The game is the teacher.”
I do this drill 15 mins a session. It paid off huge!!! I enjoy that the drills you show are designed to keep the player engaged. You do 8 in a row, then you want to beat it, then you hit 9... 13.... then your wife is complaining because you just wasted your Saturday pushing just 2 balls around the pool table. Lol. You are doing great things for the game Niels!!! Thank you!
Hahahaha great comment buddy 💪🏼💪🏼😄😄
My safety play was non-existent. I'd take low percentage shots I always felt like I had to try to make something and never wanted to play safe I was a very aggressive player. Alot of make it and look amazing or miss it and be ran off the table moments. Thanks to some old timers (who ALWAYS used to beat me) giving me a hard time. I began working on my safeties and moving into my lines and shot choices have changed too. Alll of your videos have elevated my game. It's 50/50 now against them. Took a while but it paid off quicker than I thought. Keep up the great content the drills are hard but work well. And honestly it was worth the work when they went from thinking it's an auto win playing me to them racking more often. Amazing content keep up the good work and thank you.
I like how he uses the infomercial black and white "Has this ever happened to you?" clips.
Good fun! 😄😄👍🏼
i love it when i’m playing in a match and i pull a “ Niels”! Thank you
Love that! Hahaha great comment ED!!! 👍😄😄😄
This drill is the real deal folks. Adding this to my routine has upped my safety game exponentially after just a couple weeks. I’m seeing so many more safeties and executing them so much better now. Combined with the other video’s “big brother little brother” game is just perfect.
I like this hardcore drill! I hope my requested video will be out soon. Thanks for the informations!
Good luck Neils ..in the World pool championship !
Tnx mate!!
awesome as always

Your drills are always top notch!! Thanks again Neil's ✌️
Love it awesome drill
Here on a recc from a team 9-ball teammate (thanks Rob!) Neils IMHO you're the best online instructor I've seen. Not talking too much - not wasting time, just dropping knowledge and I really appreciate it! Can't wait to do this drill and others I've seen of yours! Subscribed and liked!
Tremendous stuff, as always, Niels! I will be incorporating these drills into my practice sessions, since I'm now playing APA Masters, and MUST have the defensive game to compete. Thank you! - Adam from Dallas
Good luck Adam!!🔥😄
Thanks for the great video. I love your acting at the beginning of the video when you make mistakes and get angry, that's totally hilarious please keep doing that!! :)
Hahaha I will 😂😄👍🏼
ohhhh this is exactly what I've been waiting for!
Nice!! Go for it and please share 👍🏼🙏🏻🔥

Really loving all of your lessons Niels! So great of you to share your knowledge with us mere mortals!
You got it mike! Have a go at it 👍🏼👍🏼😄😄💪🏼
I've got a million drills to pick from and I have exactly zero drills for working on my safety play. Now I do! Nice, and fun with a few options I can throw in with easy to track progress. I really like this one.
Glad to help! Enjoy it and please share!😀
Exceptionally valuable exercise, thank you, Niels! Definitely this is the best drill on safeties in youtube. Gonna include it in my routine.
Tnx!! Good luck! 👍🏼😄
Thank you niels. Thank you for all that you do
You’re welcome! No problem 😄👍🏼

Finally a pro that seems to wanna see younger and players in general improve. Thank you for posting this Niels my safety game is miserable and has costed me several sets and games I leagues and tournaments.
You’re welcome! Please share 🙏🏻😄👍🏼
I will for sure. I tried to on fb earlier but seems like ppl cant hardly speak their mind without getting a 30 day ban these days but im definitely sharing it the 9th as soon as my fb restriction lifts back off lol i sent it to a couple friends through messager though my friend Dustin Crowe really likes ur game and fundamentals and preshot routine. So i sent him the video if he wasn't following on here im sure he is now. Hes a big fan of yours.
Great video Niels!but I admit,I've got some hard time making a safety shot when you're playing on a Brunswick table.it's very slick and you're absolutely right...cue ball control is very essential.playing on that kind of table is very satisfying.😊👌
Good work and keep doing it here and there for 10-15 min. Goes fast 👍🏼👍🏼😄
I love your teaching of safety so much.
Thank you! 🙏🏻😄
Watching this on a bus going to a 9ball tournament. Great drill Niels! Can't wait to try it out!
Go for it and good luck! 💪🏼🔥😄
Man I can’t thank you enough for these drills. Great stuff. Tell Alex thanks for me 😎
I will! He came up with this drill. Awesome stuff!!
Nice effective drills Niels. Thank you.👍

Tnx my man!! Yes strong practice material here and more to come 😄😄
Another great drill.

Thanks Niels, in my opinion this lesson´s very helpful in the offensive part of game as well, great lesson
Great for angles and seeing lines yep 👍🏼😄🔥
awesome info, thanks
You’re welcome Brian 👍🏼💪🏼😄
Great info
Great application.
I 👀 lots of these situations. So awesome you do these videos. With the cue ball strike location. I like the "experiment with" comment. Making stronger olayers with every video. Now im rambling. Stay strong shoot straight ...
Awesome!! Tnx!!😄👍🏼
I can't wait to try this. I lost so many matches due to my safety play. Keep the videos coming. New Sub :)
Tnx!! New one again on Wednesday 👍🏼😄🔥💪🏼
Thanks
You’re welcome! 😄👍🏼
Nice. I will try it. Been doing the 6 ball safety/two rail kick drill ever since I saw it on here.
Yes that’s also a beast! 😄💪🏼
Interesting and seems to be useful
It is! Go for it!! 😀😀
I am definitely going to give this BOWERFUL drill a go, cheers buddy 👍🎱
Haha do it!!
Nice safety practice drill. Cheers
You bet.Enjoy!!😀
Awesome cb control champ 👍
Powerful drill...

Haha Tnx for that!! 😄👍🏼
tks!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥
You’re welcome!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
Thank you.. will do.
Go for it 🔥💪🏼👍🏼😄
If I may make a brief suggestion to your drill… if your skill level is such that you are missing way too many times, especially in a row, stop and repeat the same shot until you make it more than miss and only then, continue forward to the next position. I use two small coins to mark ball positions. Great drill. Never boring.
I keep coming back to your channel, and guiding others to it as well. Thanks!! Also, you mention sponsor Longoni. I do not see a link to longoni on your site. Keep the SPARK hot!
Awesome, thank you! I have my own web shop with where you can order your Longoni cue today!! There's a 10% discount right now ;)💪

Please PM me if you have any questions or would like more info. I play with the graphite Luna Nera shaft and I enjoy it a lot 👌👌 I have a couple of different cues on stock right now, so just contact me if you're interested.
Greetz,
Niels 😎
Thanks Niels. Good luck in WPC!
Tnx a lot!! 😄😄👍🏼
Niels - really loved this video and found myself coming back to it for a refresher. For an amateur player like myself, do you think there is any benefit to going into the negative when trying to get to a certain number ahead? Or should I just stop at 0? Thanks!!
Hey Niels. I love your videos; they are having some of the most impact on my game improvement. My neighbor lets me practice on his table, but he has really slow cloth. When I play in league we play on 7' diamonds with really fast cloth. Is it a waste of time for me to try to practice this drill on my neighbors table? It seems like the friction of the cloth doesn't even provide the same ratios for distance of the cue ball and object ball stopping because so much speed is lost during the longer distances.
Bro, I've made all those errors and look just like that afterward. I'll use these tips.
We all have! 😄Work on these drills and you’ll improve in no time!
First one here, Thanks Niels
Boom!😀💪
Good speed control
Cheers 🙏🏻🔥😄
I tried this for the first time today. I scratched many times on that first shot lol. I need a lot of practice
That’s very normal. Learning process 😄👍🏼
Nice 1
Thanks for watching😀
In football they say “the best way to defend is to attack “ but I oftenly say in billiards games the best way to attack is to defend:since you get that extra shot or ball in hand or even a point 🤞🏽thanks Boss for another incredible video
Thx Benny! When offense and defense are both just as difficult then go for offense in pool. Chance to win and maybe get lucky safe
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Jah thanks king at times one need that kind of timing and sense in decision making 🙏🏽🙏🏽thanks a lot king
Great video!
Hard for me is not scratching!!!
Keep doing it! You will get better and better. Beginning is hard 💪🏼💪🏼 normal proces👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Terminator, I can't thank you enough for sharing such informative videos, I have learned a lot from you. Do you also have a video on how to get out of hooked positions? like knowing the angles better, and is there any productive drill for that, I can put it into my daily practice routine?
Again I appreciate all your efforts.
Hi there! 😊
Thanks for contacting me. Appreciate your support and nice feedback 👍👍

What do you think of Fargo as a training aid? Not the handicapping system, the practice game which is much like Equal Offense. You break them up and shoot anything until you reach a point where you choose to switch to shooting in rotation, in Equal Offense the switch point is mandated. 1 point per ball in the random phase, 2 points per ball in the rotation phase.
Of course when you miss the rake is over.
Hi, Niels! Those examples you gave at the beginning cut too close to the bone - Ouch! All of those and more I've made. I'm going to follow this whole series with great eagerness.
No worries Hank! New one coming out today! Work on them and you’ll make improvements in no time!😄👍🏼
When I play someone who typically plays in bars or just occasionally-like the 4 people who disliked this vid-and they mention that a safety is a “dirty” shot. I ask them if they’re playing basketball and the other team has the ball, do you run around the court with your hands down at your sides? If you do that, you aren’t playing defense, and you’re going to lose, even if you’re a good shooter.
So if you don’t play defense, it’ll be the same here-you’ll lose. After that, I offer a couple of tips for playing EASY safeties vs. handing me the game. The day they roll the cue ball tight against the back of another ball-then they really get it.
You’ve got to be able to play safe, or you’re only playing half of the game. Controlling two or more balls requires practice and creativity. (And watching how and when the pros do it. They’ll sometimes play safe on a shot that every amateur would take, and you need to know why.)
A good safety battle is a dimension of pool which is kind of rare, but really satisfying.
Very good arguments!! 😀💪
Hope the channel explodes
Hope so too 😄😄🙏🏻please share 💪🏼😉
Great stuff Niels. Will this series cover any kicking drills?
This series will be safety drills, but there will also be a kicking series soon 😀💪
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen very cool, thank you for everything you do!
I don't know if you shot those shots specifically for this video, but your responses to messing them up were funny. They sure appeared legitimate, good job. I suspect your real responses to these shots would be to set them up a half dozen more times and leave your subconscious thinking "I got this sucker" rather than "I missed this last time". I see Efren do that all the time on a missed shot just after a match end, and I suspect he may go do it more, afterward, and for all the shots he should have made, but didn't. Just guessing here, though.
I heard Jeremy Jones make a comment while commentating a match the other day that amateurs set up a shot to practice until they MAKE it, pros set up that same shot many more times, until they don't MISS it.
Love your 'character' sign. Subconscious training? That is a very good drill, I will incorporate it.
Little funny acting never hurt 😂👍🏼
Thanks for this, Niels! I love and need safety drills. As a 3 in the APA, I'm not a good shotmaker. But, I wonder if this one is too advanced for a beginner like me? I know nothing about english. And table-length shots are really difficult for me.
Have a go and start slow. Just try it 15 min or so a few times a week and build
It up👍🏼👍🏼😄 also check out these series:

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Will do! Thanks! 👍🎱
Come someone explain how the scoring points works to? I've watched over and over and can't figure it out.
Land the cue ball in one of the zones that you call
Beforehand scored you a point. And then do a race to whatever you like 😄👍🏼💪🏼
Hi Niels, I love watching how you demo,coach and explained.
Very systematic and also accurate sequence..U watch alot of your video.
Am from Singapore..just started learning on my own (a few months only)..Am a elderly person .can you advice me or recommend something so that my performance can be improved. I Need to start from basic..
Thanking you in advance.
Thank you! Try to start with the back to basics playlist 👍🏼😄th-cam.com/play/PLzjzZn8Miek1gDQaNlkuB32AHRdwGZwJw.html
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Thànk you very much Niels,
Will ďo ..
Thànk you Niels, will look into it .
Stay healthy ànd keep safe àlwàys.
Goď bless.
Billiards playing cannons a great game to practice this type of thing where instead of aiming for an area you're aiming for a ball after contact. Think it's called carom in Europe.
Yes only difference I find is the weight of the balls. The way the balls react is different from pool balls. But in general billiards is awesome for pool!
I have a question on the practice swing. I shoot left hand but I have a disability I’m missing 5 inches of my arm so I have to adapt on my stroke it’s hard for me to do in 3 parts I have to do it in 2 parts any ideas for me to use.
This sounds hard to envision.via text. Any good coaches in your area?
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen No but I think there some in Tampa Fl which is 8hr away but I’m going to Vegas for APA 9 ball doubles August 5th n 6th after I come back from there I have to find a coach somewhere to help me adapt my playing to the game I like your videos over 4 other. I want to be a great player like you. I started this game late in my years 50yr
Do you recommend any mobile apps that can instantly calculate the diamonds? Like laser beam.
Sorry I haven’t heard of that yet. Sounds interesting
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen apps.apple.com/th/app/billard-aiming-calculator-pro/id659876065 would be great if you review this!
Terminator - "are you, are you, are you, are you?"
Me - "yep.... yep.... yep... yep..."
😂 great upload, this is quality stuff.
Thank you sir! 👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥😄
Why would I want to put the OB near a corner pocket? Doesn't seem like a good safety
This drill is only about CB control. I'm sure on future videos in the series he'll cover OB control.
Think of it getting behind little walls of balls sometimes they’re on the line and sometimes even closer. So you need to hit that extra rail to get under them but without scratching 💪🏼😄
Is this something you spend an hour or so on a couple times a week ?
Even 15 min few times a week does a great deal 👍🏼👍🏼
🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱👍
😄😄😄👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Honestly, first time I've ever heard of Longoni ...
Nice!! Check out my shop to have a closer look. Nielsfeijen.shop 😄👍🏼
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen already on it! Thanks Niels!
Offense sells tickets, defense wins titles
Nice one!!😄💪🏼
;
And practice the "32" drill ..... there are 32 squares
You are operating 2 balls ...... practice operating 3 balls ..... btw, nice drills you showed everyone..... if only they will actually practice!!!
Good point!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😄😄
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen In the old days I would get to a tournament and I used to have trouble getting started in early morning matches ...... when I think back I realize that I never used to practice in mornings ..... we do have an inner clock ..... I think if I could do it over I might do some practice early in the day..... just a thought from an old man
Copy.. I will take your advices..
