I like to tell people that on fast tables like a 7ft Diamond, don't slow roll, and don't try to hold anything. So like for the 7 ball in rack 3, hit it with a full stroke and go 2 or even 3 rails back and forth to get on the 8. Great video as always!
Thats good advice. With Diamonds, I’ve always leaned the other way. Since the table plays so true, I know I can slow roll and not get screwed by table roll or something… but what you’re saying makes sense. Something I’ll keep in mind!!
Maybe I should listen to my own advice 😬 If you are not as experienced as your competition in your league (idk, just assuming based on you asking advice! No judgment here!), go check out this match on MBM Billiards youtube channel he posted last night. My opinion: one dude is like 1-200 fargo higher than the other. The younger, less experienced, guy uses some good maneuvers (safety play, 2-way shots) to stay alive and get racks on him. A great example in this situation! Sometimes your team just needs a few points out of you to take the W, so every single rack helps in the Master’s format 💪🏼 keep shootin man 👊🏼 I’ll try and do better next time!
Finally someone chimes in haha! Idk, errors sounds better to me sorta? Also, it does capture when you completely mess up shape, and then miss. For example, you run the table, and hide yourself from the 8-ball, forcing you to kick at it. Sure, it’s a miss, but the bigger issue was misshaping it. Calling it an “Error” does broaden it. I was initially trying to subjectively separate a missed shot and misshape but it was too difficult. Error covers both. Thoughts??? Thank you so much for the feedback!!
Drew, I enjoyed your video. I have been playing for 25 years. The main thing you need is don’t hit so hard. Don’t try and be perfect and you will really come up. Perfect attempts just get you in the wrong side 😊
New to the videos from you but I enjoyed the video. I’m a SL 7 in 8 ball and was a 8 in 9 ball but haven’t played 9 in over a year due to my wife having our 2nd kid but once he’s running around freely, I’m getting back to 9 and may join the masters bc it looks like something I’d enjoy. I’m not sure what SL you are but if I was watching you play somewhere I’d assume you’re a 5 based on the poor positioning and shots you were missing, could’ve just been an off day, everyone has them. Keep it up and never lose the love for the game.
I’ve recently been working on my safeties so much and it has helped me beat SL 6’s as a 4. I think I just went up to a 5 though. That one six ball shot where you tried to play the safe. I would of tried half ball hit with right spin to throw the balls opposite directions and maybe cue ball hide behind the 9. (5th rack of 9 ball) Thanks for the content and good luck 🤙🏽
I suggested it in an older video, so I’m not sure if you saw it; but I would try moving your bridge hand 0.5-1.0 diamond closer to your bridge hand on the break. If so you might be able to hit your target contact point on the cue ball. It worked for me (s/l 7 as well). p.s. in the other video I linked the video I used to learn the stun-run through shot. Check it out.
You’re probably right. My first 8-ball break in this one is exactly what I’m trying to achieve. The pop and hold. Idk if I’m ready to accept that I’m NOT Jeff De Luna yet 😭 You did! Lemme check it out right now
Hey Drew. I was 9 Skill level in 9 ball. I used to play in the APA master League a lot. TIP Always let your opponent chose what format they want to play first 8 Ball or 9 ball The reason behind that is mostly like they will choose the format they are better at playing. So if you can beat them at that format you will most likely win when you play the other format. Caution. When playing someone that you never played or not sure how they play and you get to choose what format to play first. Always pick 8 ball because you can never lose you will still get to play 9 Ball.
@@drewvonporte ...I own the cheap Roadline cue from Predator with an original 314 and a 2nd generation Z shaft. They are both less than 11mm, but they have minimal deflection to none at all. I just can't get used to the carbon shafts. My other friend bought the $2500 Predator with the Revo shaft and it just has too much deflection over the length of the table. And, I can't "see" the shaft in my vision. Because it is black, it just disappears in my mind's eye which disturbs me. But, I see so many pros using carbon shafts now and they play very, very well with them. I wish you luck in the rest of your APA season.
LESS THAN 11mm?!…. I gotta think you meant “less than 12mm” 😅 Yeah, honestly, I pushed away the carbon fiber shafts for awhile. I like wood (thats what she said) period. Like the way it feels, like the way it looks, like the way it plays, and I appreciate the tradition of playing with wooden cues. … But I needed a catalyst for change, and I splurged on a big fancy predator cue with the revo 12.4. And I annoyingly am playing better than I ever have. From practice and training most likely, but hard to knock the carbon fiber now 😔
I am only a little way in but you mentioned safeties and kick outs. I used to pride myself on making really difficult shots but my match play stalled until I started playing regularly with an ex snooker player. Now, I get as much enjoyment, if not more, with great safety play. Also want to mention he really helped with using follow shots much more, even 2 and 3 cushions, as opposed to draw shots that I liked to use.
After this, I spent time on my safety play, that you will see in upcoming matches. I remembered that I love One Pocket because of the safety play and cue ball control…. Why not see that perspective in 9-ball?? And it helped me. We also started playing Kick-Safe, which helped me see the safeties easier with repetition! Regarding draw/follow, I will remind you we are on a 7’ foot table. And I like to keep my game kind of compact on a 7’ table… but yes, I still probably draw too much for most peoples’ taste 😁
@@drewvonporte When I am not playing pool, I like to watch videos like yours - it popped up on my feed so gave it a go and enjoyed it. It's easy to be an arm-chair player and I just wanted to contribute something that helped me a lot with my 9 and 10 ball. In those first few minutes, I think maybe I just saw something that reminded me of my previous play and thought "oh, I have to tell him of my experience and hope it's helpful." I will definitely check out more of your videos.
in the 1st one (00:22) (after you ended up on the wrong side of the 7 and 1): 1) the tangent line of shooting the 7 in the side pocket causes the cue ball travel to the long rail above the 9 ball. tangent line control must be your first instinct. 2) If you aren't confident in controlling the tangent line still, then you should just shoot the 7 into the bottom left corner, using only top (rolling cue ball), to get an easy shot on the 1.
I agree. While I would have went 7-1-2-8... the route he chose going 2 ball first was somewhat hard, but I think an average 7 would still run that 65% of the time.
Practice fuel. I dread sometimes using the footage to provide commentary when I don’t play well. This time I wanted to see where my main issues were. Def a few shots I don’t typically ever miss, but a lot of odd choices unfortunately…. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice shooting man! What I’ve been doing a bit better that has helped me run more 8 Ball racks is take more time! Get in that Fedor Gorst playstyle take 30 seconds to shoot on every shot walk around breath check your angles and run them racks out! 👏🏽
Thanks!!! Man, I am constantly changing my pacing. Sometimes I shoot better in a little bit faster rhythm, sometimes I shoot better in a slower, more focused rhythm 🤷🏻♂️
You ever try these run outs again? Might be an idea for more content. Set up this again and try to run out. 1:09:08 Can really help you with your pattern play. Here, i like your initial idea. But the easiest way here is to roll the 9 for the 11 in the lower left corner. Ideally you the. Follow the 11 for the 10 in the side, then 12 in the lower left. Easy out. Or if you roll too much on the 9, 11 in the side then still follow above.
I’m torn on this. Both ways work, as usual. But weighing what you feel better about, idk. I screwed it up anyway, but maybe taking the 11 in the bottom left corner mightve helped me stay on the plan!! 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
43:37 i think the safest option is slow rolling the 1, slow rolling the 7, the. 2 ball with follow. Depending on the 7 angle to 2, 8 ball goes into left side or top left. You could almost hit all 4 shots at the same speed. Edit: looking at what you did was fine i think. Just slow roll the 7 and you’d be fine on the 1.
Nah I needed to hit that I think!! I mess up slow rolling stuff too much… i could’ve salvaged it but ….. ah, got in my head!!! Def not 2 first lol at least not like that 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ rushed it
Feel your pain! Played in a top shot tournament today, was up 24-16 needing to get to 31. In the next rack, I gave up 9 points on missed shots; 2 with ball in hand. Thinking more about shape instead making the ball. He made the 9 in that rack and I never came back to the table. Sometime I need to tell you the back story going on during the tournament involving my wife (who has aphasia), a neighbor’s dog and euthanasia. No, not my wife!
you're playing like a beast because you're so good at the game Drew lol. Sucks you lost but all you can do is look at where you went wrong and figure out how you could of done better and learn from it.
Re-watching this (after commentating, bc I’m too focused on trying to provide commentary), it was mostly decisional errors…. 😔 Need to re-read Art of War Thanks man!! 👊🏼
The song is easy e. And I woulda taken that 7 to the bottom corner with draw to leave the 1 in the side. You seemed determined to go in the side with the 7 but I think you woulda been ok down in bottom left corner. Love your vids and commentary man thanks.
Oh dude 1,000% should’ve abandoned the 7side and 1side plan. I was off-my-rocker dude, idk what I was thinking!!! And you win the song of the episode prize my dude 💪🏼 thank you for the feedback 👊🏼
Drew, I have just one piece of advice for your game. You tend to, as you have admitted to, miss some easy shots. In your case it's not at all because you don't know how to aim or to play the game. You're thinking about all these things to make the shot work the way you want it to work, but your last thoughts have to be making the shot! You have to be willing to sacrifice your ideal leave for a (slightly) less than perfect leave, to guarantee you make the shot. As you know, it's better to have another shot than it is to not get another shot, even if it's not an ideal leave. An uncountable number of easy shots are missed because the player is thinking about his leave instead of making the shot. Make your last thought, making the shot and your game will seriously improve by virtue of not missing easy shots. Good videos you are producing now. Keep up the good work.
Gary it’s true, what you are saying has 100% been my issue, especially through a lot of these videos. This past weekend in Vegas, I played the best pool of my life, and can’t wait to share it with you guys. What you are talking about is EXACTLY the biggest change! I tell my guys: “yes, sure, play X spin to get here, or make sure you bump X ball right….. BUT LAST THING YOU DO, IS MAKE SURE YOUR SHOT STILL GOES IN THE HOLE!!!” The biggest thing that changed for me was simply not missing. Ive gotten more comfortable with defense, which makes me feel OK about having shit leave, bc I can AT LEAST safe from there.
you mentioned Dr Dave find his 30 90 rule video. There are times you have a general idea of where the ball is going but you dont know the path really. The more shots you can make without spin the more predicable your leaves will become. Watch filler that guy is a master at center ball. Here is a tip on defence if you can't commit to running a table out. You need to look at on which shot you can you get a good safety.... waiting until you miss a leave then pray to play a good defence is just a mistake.
I will definitely check that out!! Always like bringing lessons to my pool team 💪🏼🤙🏼 This is so true. That is high-level play though if we’re being honest, but it is absolutely what mid-range players need to try and understand early!! 💯💯 Thanks for the feedback!!
Call me crazy, I think outside* throws it in?… irregardless lol, I worry about doing that and hitting it too hard to get the spin to throw it! I usually do better than this with the pocket speed shots but 😔 i should’ve committed to going down and back ….. sigh.
I like to get the runout down to about 3-4 balls, get perfect shape…… then take the runout, roll it up into a ball, walk out into the parking lot, and boot it over the building 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Too soon. Get outta here. No one asked you. LEAVE!!!!!!! 👉🏼 Ugh, you’re right. I was so frustrated at that moment. I was married to my choice that these balls were straight in from the 2, it was hard for me to change my decision 🤡 Should’ve sent it 100%! Landing zone for the 1 was massive… decisional error #26 in that game! Thank you for this 👊🏼💪🏼
All of my content thus far on the channel has been League play, not tournament. So no bracket involved in anything I’m posting! Different tournaments do it different ways. Our league has end-of-year tournaments that are typically “modified single elimination”, which means it is double elimination through the first 2 rounds, then it becomes single. That is just so that least every player/team gets to play AT LEAST two matches 🤞🏼
The 9 ball you missed at 31:45. The path 0f the cue ball would have scratched if you had made that shot. You should not have tried it with Follow. You should have played that shot with bottom left spin to avoid the side pocket
25:55. No amount of elevation can make that become a legal hit when the cue ball and object ball are that close together. Watch Dr. Dave's videos on these double tap fouls.
Wookie, so you know, I just went back and watched one of his on the subject: “10 useful ways to avoid a double hit foul”. @1:40 ish, he states you can avoid it by elevating the cue, albeit extremely. One way to tell if it is a double hit, is if it crosses the tangent line forward, before it backspinning (due to the elevation). My elevation was extreme, probably 80 degrees? And though we can’t see the cue ball from this angle, it backspin directly into the short rail and spun back up table. In case you thought it went directly forward. In summary, if it was a double hit, it likely would not have been able to be seen without slow-motion footage. No one watched, and naked eye would have probably not shown enough proof to overturn it as an illegal hit…… …… and I got burnt anyway 😢 haha. I really think it was good though! Tell me what you think! Thanks for the feedback man 👊🏼
Skill levels depend on the area. Sometimes an area has weaker players than other areas. Sl7's aren't always as strong, depending on where you are located. When i was sl6, i would beat up on 7's all the time. Playoff time is when you find out who is who and what's what.
keep practicing bud. youll get there.. we all miss and make mistakes.. just need to learn from them. play on 9fters as much as possible. to help all around. were human and everone misses and loses..
Man just had the worse night of my game in a while last night. I was way to tired. .I'm a 4 playing a 3. Game went like this,. Opponent gets to 8. 8 WP I win. opponent wins. Opponent gets to 8. Scratches I win. Oppenent early 8 I win. I won the match without ever shooting the 8
Man, tough loss. I really hate those ones where its small mistakes that end up costing you. On another note, your opponent shot well enough but I definitely was not a fan of that stroke. He had that quick "jab and jerk" technique that you don't usually see with better players.
💯. His stroke is so wonky on so many shots. He’s gotten good enough with that to get him this far, but if you have that much insight to the game, you can take your game SO much further with a bit of work!! It does the trick though, in most scenarios (see video 🤦🏻♂️)… Thanks man 👊🏼 ill get em next time
@@drewvonporte I 100% agree, it seems like something that you'd expect someone playing in Masters to have addressed and resolved before they were playing at that level On the other side tho, I wonder how many people saw someone like Shane (for example) early on and thought "This guy is never gonna make it at the professional level with that wrist cocked like that" 🤔😂 Not that I think this is a comparable situation here but the pros can definitely afford to have a quirk in their game when everything else is absolutely perfect! 💪🏻
It’s true! Shane’s stroke is up there with Efren’s lol. Our Master’s league is not incredibly competitive. A lot of 5’s and 6’s in it so 🤷🏻♂️ you’ll see that here lol
@43:45 they are all connected 1 7 2 8. they will roll natural for leave. The 2? sure it is in the pocket but if you leave bad your down table on the 1 or the 7... yep
PREACH….. you guys keep making me re-live this sad, sad moment 🤣🤣 just rushed decision making, not thinking clearly… then too afraid of myself to shoot my out of the issue 😪
Haha sure! In hindsight 😅 “Missing that cut leaves it sittin’ pretty for him, the bank is safer!”…. I told myself, right before leaving him straight in on the 8….
Just an observation but the other guy would improve dramatically if he worked on his stroke. The angle he strokes just leaves too much room for error on cue ball contact and he has a tendency to punch it without following through. Amazing he plays as well as he does.
So now you’re working for the enemy??…. Jk! Yeah his stroke is incredibly off…. But…. I don’t know how much he cares. He’s been undefeated like this 🤣 wish I wouldnta fell apart….
@@drewvonporte Haha, sorry about that but I couldn't help but comment. Yeah, it was amazing how well he does and all I could think is "if he can win with that stroke, imagine if he improved it?" The frustration will be that you typically have to take a step backward to take two steps forward.
Drew... SL7 YOU ARE NOT... you miss to many straight shots, easy cut shots and you over power your hits that you cant set up for next ball ....more discipline !!!
@@drewvonporte lmfao. Hey on a different topic I really enjoy the lines of the ball paths and your new statistical table. I would love to see a cue ball with a dot on it to show your English in tandem with the lines so we can see the cue ball strike point and the intended line. I think that would add even more to your channel. Wish you luck man- peace
@@pookievanderbilt6889 man, I would need to find a way to do it fairly efficiently. This is a lot of work doing all this, not asking for sympathy haha its a hobby, I enjoy it, but that is something I want to add in to. You’re right though. Would add a lot when we’re discussing specific shots!!! Maybe we’ll see it in the next episode 👀😎
You don't put any pressure o on your opponent when you allow them a shot when you could tie them up. You can't win on every shot but you sure can lose that way.
You made the right decision. Your pace was too much. You could have played it super soft like really soft and set up for the one in the side and the eight in the opposite side. Too hard.
at like 45 minutes and 45 seconds in you were actually perfect on the 2, 7, 1. just needed a slow drag shot on the 7 then cut the 1 ball into the middle soft stun and youd be on the 8 in opposite middle.. if you over hit it youd be on the 8 in same middle pocket as the 1.. you just went wrong with the soft roll on the 7 ball... if you wanted to you could have done a slight draw with a touch of left spin to spin it towards the 1 ball into the top right pocket and would just be a stun shot for the black.. but oh well i have done the same thing where i finish the game and think i should have done it this way instead but dont think about it at the time
Several ways. Yes, I could have salvaged this, but just taking the 7 first makes it a completely elementary run. I was completely in my head at that point. Many wrong decisions… sounds like you know the pain 🫡
@@drewvonporte yeah i was actually thinking 7 first as well but either of them was still able to finish just had to play better position haha yes know the pain all to well i usually run 6-7 balls every game and either miss the easy black or run out of position and have no position or snooker myself :( thats usually game over for me if i run the balls and miss the last ball haha but i do get the in the head situation i always have that when im on a master break or clearance i get down on the last or second last shot and think in my head yes iv got the master then i miss i literally had my first proper master break last night in camp at work but it wasnt in a comp just practice
@@drewvonportebreak and run.. it use to be called a master break here in australia haha iv done one break and run and like 2 clearances but have never done it in comp.. but i just sort of started playing comp this year
Awesome man! Congrats! I can remember the first time I broke-and-ran. Felt unstoppable. A good break is the biggest key to this, and didn’t realize that for quite some time 😬 Keep shootin’ man!! Looking forward to hearing of your progression!! 👊🏼
Hey Drew this is the first time I watched you play so I'm sure you probably play better than this. I noticed that it looked like you fell into the table vision trap. That is when your focus was only one or two ways to play the shot and so your position got out of whack. Which in turn it snowballed into making you make the wrong decisions about what ball to play first being if that was the solids or stripes. I'm pretty sure this mentally got to you. When I was playing in Pro/Am tournaments and this would happen to me. I would go to the bathroom was my face with cold water this would reset my brain. Then when I got to the table I would just play one ball at a time. Remember KISS, Keep it simple stupid.
This is such good advice. I think you are 💯% correct. A lot decisional errors in this game, which in hindsight was incredibly frustrating…. I need to try the bathroom + cold water + monologue next time
Duuuuude I know…. I was totally screwing everything up I possibly could. Idk wtf I was thinking for half of these shots!! Its like as soon as I realized I won… i self-sabotaged haha
They’re trash!!!!! When I don’t have to safe, I do okay. Which makes my barbox 9-ball game DECENT (less safety play in my opinion). Thanks Mark!!! I have been working on my stroke !!!
@@drewvonporte I recommend watching professional snooker. There is no better safety play in cue sports. Just seeing what they do helps a great deal... Your stroke reminds me of a good snooker player.
Oof. I know it’s a great cue sport, but I have trouble relating… My 1pkt game is DECENT. I get that safety play better than 9-ball. And 8-ball safety game too. But in 9-ball where you’re hiding (or hiding from) the same ball as your opponent, I just have to work on 😔
Wow that was painful to watch. 28 innings for a race to 7? Hard to believe both of you were undefeated going into this match. Time to let your stroke out and sharpen up your shotmaking skills a little bit. Playing timidly allows your opponent extra chances to win instead of putting pressure on them. I hope to see an improvement on the next video.
Yeah, i mean, if you take away the 8 safeties, its like 20 innings across 11 racks. I’ve definitely played worse for sure, but you’re right. A handful of fairly easy shots I don’t particularly miss. Got in my head, instead of just letting my stroke out, like you said!! Next one will be better. Just for you 🫡
It’s fickle man! Hard to commentate your own stuff, specifically when you’re really butthurt about playing poorly…! I was 100% in my head when I was shooting, I assure you! I really do appreciate this feedback 👊🏼 thanks, and hope to see you in the next one!
If you’re truly in pain my friend, please seek help. It’s not bologna, they Can help you through this. But playing pool is an easy way to make new friends and support group. The pool table welcomes ALL walks of life ❤️
I have learned...even if my balls are good for an out, if l choose to take a lock down safe my balls will most likely still be there. But, now I'm in his head, frustrating him. It pays off in following games.
Haha what exactly did I bait you with?! Like any form of content (a movie poster, a book cover, a billboard), it’s meant to get your attention. I’m inviting you to click, check out what I have to offer man! If you don’t like it, there are plenty of the same efren re-runs on TH-cam to check out LOL. Clearly, “NO ONE can beat me” is not serious 🤣🤣. I’ll think more about the Headline next time for ya.
I like to tell people that on fast tables like a 7ft Diamond, don't slow roll, and don't try to hold anything. So like for the 7 ball in rack 3, hit it with a full stroke and go 2 or even 3 rails back and forth to get on the 8. Great video as always!
Thats good advice. With Diamonds, I’ve always leaned the other way. Since the table plays so true, I know I can slow roll and not get screwed by table roll or something… but what you’re saying makes sense. Something I’ll keep in mind!!
Absolutely.Weak players try to gently hold position.Strong players go up and back.
Just stumbled upon your channel and I'm digging the format. Think I'll stick around for a bit.
Awesome! Thanks!!!
Hey bud thanks for the advice about masters...I lost my match due to nerves...but your pointers were spot on..keep it up bro
Maybe I should listen to my own advice 😬
If you are not as experienced as your competition in your league (idk, just assuming based on you asking advice! No judgment here!), go check out this match on MBM Billiards youtube channel he posted last night.
My opinion: one dude is like 1-200 fargo higher than the other. The younger, less experienced, guy uses some good maneuvers (safety play, 2-way shots) to stay alive and get racks on him. A great example in this situation!
Sometimes your team just needs a few points out of you to take the W, so every single rack helps in the Master’s format 💪🏼 keep shootin man 👊🏼 I’ll try and do better next time!
Love the added stats... what about changing Errors to Misses? That seems to be more in line with what you're actually tracking. Thanks for the videos.
Finally someone chimes in haha!
Idk, errors sounds better to me sorta? Also, it does capture when you completely mess up shape, and then miss.
For example, you run the table, and hide yourself from the 8-ball, forcing you to kick at it. Sure, it’s a miss, but the bigger issue was misshaping it. Calling it an “Error” does broaden it.
I was initially trying to subjectively separate a missed shot and misshape but it was too difficult. Error covers both. Thoughts???
Thank you so much for the feedback!!
Drew, I enjoyed your video. I have been playing for 25 years. The main thing you need is don’t hit so hard. Don’t try and be perfect and you will really come up. Perfect attempts just get you in the wrong side 😊
Wes, thank you so much! That means a lot, I’m constantly tinkering with things right now, so this is encouraging 🫡
New to the videos from you but I enjoyed the video. I’m a SL 7 in 8 ball and was a 8 in 9 ball but haven’t played 9 in over a year due to my wife having our 2nd kid but once he’s running around freely, I’m getting back to 9 and may join the masters bc it looks like something I’d enjoy. I’m not sure what SL you are but if I was watching you play somewhere I’d assume you’re a 5 based on the poor positioning and shots you were missing, could’ve just been an off day, everyone has them. Keep it up and never lose the love for the game.
Thank you for taking the time to rate me! That’s so kind!! 🤩❤️
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I’ve recently been working on my safeties so much and it has helped me beat SL 6’s as a 4. I think I just went up to a 5 though.
That one six ball shot where you tried to play the safe. I would of tried half ball hit with right spin to throw the balls opposite directions and maybe cue ball hide behind the 9. (5th rack of 9 ball)
Thanks for the content and good luck 🤙🏽
That wouldve been better! Split the table, with a cherry of hiding behind the 9. Man…. I rushed it 😔
I suggested it in an older video, so I’m not sure if you saw it; but I would try moving your bridge hand 0.5-1.0 diamond closer to your bridge hand on the break. If so you might be able to hit your target contact point on the cue ball. It worked for me (s/l 7 as well).
p.s. in the other video I linked the video I used to learn the stun-run through shot. Check it out.
You’re probably right. My first 8-ball break in this one is exactly what I’m trying to achieve. The pop and hold. Idk if I’m ready to accept that I’m NOT Jeff De Luna yet 😭
You did! Lemme check it out right now
Is it just the camera angle or are these pockets massive? Great video by the way man, thank you very much!!
Thank you so much James! The pockets are not tight, no…
What pool cue are you playing with? Looks great!
Predator Revo 12.4mm on an SP2 with zebrawood fancy sauce lookin design that I liked.
Thanks!!!
Hey Drew. I was 9 Skill level in 9 ball.
I used to play in the APA master League a lot.
TIP
Always let your opponent chose what format they want to play first 8 Ball or 9 ball
The reason behind that is mostly like they will choose the format they are better at playing.
So if you can beat them at that format you will most likely win when you play the other format.
Caution.
When playing someone that you never played or not sure how they play and you get to choose what format to play first.
Always pick 8 ball because you can never lose you will still get to play 9 Ball.
Thats a great tip!!! I like that strategy!! 👊🏼👊🏼
My friend has the exact same cue that you have. It hits really solid.
Really?! I love it man. I’m a Predator fanboy 🫠
@@drewvonporte ...I own the cheap Roadline cue from Predator with an original 314 and a 2nd generation Z shaft. They are both less than 11mm, but they have minimal deflection to none at all. I just can't get used to the carbon shafts. My other friend bought the $2500 Predator with the Revo shaft and it just has too much deflection over the length of the table. And, I can't "see" the shaft in my vision. Because it is black, it just disappears in my mind's eye which disturbs me. But, I see so many pros using carbon shafts now and they play very, very well with them. I wish you luck in the rest of your APA season.
LESS THAN 11mm?!…. I gotta think you meant “less than 12mm” 😅
Yeah, honestly, I pushed away the carbon fiber shafts for awhile. I like wood (thats what she said) period. Like the way it feels, like the way it looks, like the way it plays, and I appreciate the tradition of playing with wooden cues.
… But I needed a catalyst for change, and I splurged on a big fancy predator cue with the revo 12.4. And I annoyingly am playing better than I ever have. From practice and training most likely, but hard to knock the carbon fiber now 😔
I am only a little way in but you mentioned safeties and kick outs. I used to pride myself on making really difficult shots but my match play stalled until I started playing regularly with an ex snooker player. Now, I get as much enjoyment, if not more, with great safety play.
Also want to mention he really helped with using follow shots much more, even 2 and 3 cushions, as opposed to draw shots that I liked to use.
After this, I spent time on my safety play, that you will see in upcoming matches. I remembered that I love One Pocket because of the safety play and cue ball control…. Why not see that perspective in 9-ball?? And it helped me.
We also started playing Kick-Safe, which helped me see the safeties easier with repetition!
Regarding draw/follow, I will remind you we are on a 7’ foot table. And I like to keep my game kind of compact on a 7’ table… but yes, I still probably draw too much for most peoples’ taste 😁
@@drewvonporte When I am not playing pool, I like to watch videos like yours - it popped up on my feed so gave it a go and enjoyed it. It's easy to be an arm-chair player and I just wanted to contribute something that helped me a lot with my 9 and 10 ball.
In those first few minutes, I think maybe I just saw something that reminded me of my previous play and thought "oh, I have to tell him of my experience and hope it's helpful."
I will definitely check out more of your videos.
7-1-2-8 looked pretty natural from what i could see ✌️
Incredibly natural JD 😔….. leave it to me to ruin an elementary runout. Tactical errors all over this one…!
Thanks for the feedback brother 👊🏼
I like your commentary and overlays showing target shapes (@Josh).
Thanks!! I appreciate that! Josh who?! Powell?!
@@drewvonporte Yeah, ya know?!
@@Nels242 of course I know Josh! He’s a great player!!
in the 1st one (00:22) (after you ended up on the wrong side of the 7 and 1): 1) the tangent line of shooting the 7 in the side pocket causes the cue ball travel to the long rail above the 9 ball. tangent line control must be your first instinct. 2) If you aren't confident in controlling the tangent line still, then you should just shoot the 7 into the bottom left corner, using only top (rolling cue ball), to get an easy shot on the 1.
💯💯💯
I agree. While I would have went 7-1-2-8... the route he chose going 2 ball first was somewhat hard, but I think an average 7 would still run that 65% of the time.
It’s good to have a short memory after a match like this one. It’ll give you bad dreams
Practice fuel. I dread sometimes using the footage to provide commentary when I don’t play well. This time I wanted to see where my main issues were. Def a few shots I don’t typically ever miss, but a lot of odd choices unfortunately….
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. When are you in Vegas?
10th - 15th! Challenge Match Saturday with another PoolTH-camr 👀👀
@@drewvonporte I will be there!
Drew what kind of camera are you using?
@@dannyrdeanda iphone 15 pro
Nice shooting man! What I’ve been doing a bit better that has helped me run more 8 Ball racks is take more time! Get in that Fedor Gorst playstyle take 30 seconds to shoot on every shot walk around breath check your angles and run them racks out! 👏🏽
Thanks!!! Man, I am constantly changing my pacing. Sometimes I shoot better in a little bit faster rhythm, sometimes I shoot better in a slower, more focused rhythm 🤷🏻♂️
You ever try these run outs again? Might be an idea for more content. Set up this again and try to run out. 1:09:08 Can really help you with your pattern play. Here, i like your initial idea. But the easiest way here is to roll the 9 for the 11 in the lower left corner. Ideally you the. Follow the 11 for the 10 in the side, then 12 in the lower left. Easy out. Or if you roll too much on the 9, 11 in the side then still follow above.
I’m torn on this. Both ways work, as usual. But weighing what you feel better about, idk. I screwed it up anyway, but maybe taking the 11 in the bottom left corner mightve helped me stay on the plan!! 😵💫😵💫😵💫🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
43:37 i think the safest option is slow rolling the 1, slow rolling the 7, the. 2 ball with follow. Depending on the 7 angle to 2, 8 ball goes into left side or top left. You could almost hit all 4 shots at the same speed.
Edit: looking at what you did was fine i think. Just slow roll the 7 and you’d be fine on the 1.
Nah I needed to hit that I think!! I mess up slow rolling stuff too much… i could’ve salvaged it but ….. ah, got in my head!!!
Def not 2 first lol at least not like that 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ rushed it
Feel your pain! Played in a top shot tournament today, was up 24-16 needing to get to 31. In the next rack, I gave up 9 points on missed shots; 2 with ball in hand. Thinking more about shape instead making the ball. He made the 9 in that rack and I never came back to the table. Sometime I need to tell you the back story going on during the tournament involving my wife (who has aphasia), a neighbor’s dog and euthanasia. No, not my wife!
Oof!!! Hate to see it man!!!
That sounds………. Distracting 👀
@@drewvonporte 4th place and a t-shirt😂
half a tip of outside on the 7 would send it 2 rails and set you up for the 1 corner pocket - granted you have good ball control.
I was in my head and married to the plan 😔…. Poor decision making throughout this one! You are 💯% right my man
hey drew, you going to be in vegas in august for the apa worlds?
if you are i'd love to get a warm up match in or something. try your hand against a cpa 7 :)
Yes! Let’s go man!! I know Saturday night I have a challenge match planned for another YT pool player 👀👀👀
@@drewvonporte do you have a social you'd prefer I can try and reach out to you on when I'm down there?
@@strikermurda IG brotha! Drewvonportepool
you're playing like a beast because you're so good at the game Drew lol. Sucks you lost but all you can do is look at where you went wrong and figure out how you could of done better and learn from it.
Re-watching this (after commentating, bc I’m too focused on trying to provide commentary), it was mostly decisional errors…. 😔 Need to re-read Art of War
Thanks man!! 👊🏼
The song is easy e. And I woulda taken that 7 to the bottom corner with draw to leave the 1 in the side. You seemed determined to go in the side with the 7 but I think you woulda been ok down in bottom left corner. Love your vids and commentary man thanks.
Oh dude 1,000% should’ve abandoned the 7side and 1side plan. I was off-my-rocker dude, idk what I was thinking!!!
And you win the song of the episode prize my dude 💪🏼 thank you for the feedback 👊🏼
Why would you not shot the 7 first. 1 is basically a stop shot, and then depending on how you shot the 2 you have the 8 in either side?
I’m a complete moron, for starters…. It hurts to rewatch! Match is full of decisional errors!!
I know you don’t like combos but at 19:35 I thought you might have went for the 2-9 combo especially with ball in hand.
No wayyyyyy! That combo’s too loose! I’d miss it for sure! The runout was not that difficult….. (clearly too difficult for ME but 🤡)
I was surprised you didn't cut the 8 in the corner. Natural roll would've been great shape for the 9.
Kevin, I’m full of surprises man 🫠🤣
Drew, I have just one piece of advice for your game. You tend to, as you have admitted to, miss some easy shots. In your case it's not at all because you don't know how to aim or to play the game. You're thinking about all these things to make the shot work the way you want it to work, but your last thoughts have to be making the shot! You have to be willing to sacrifice your ideal leave for a (slightly) less than perfect leave, to guarantee you make the shot. As you know, it's better to have another shot than it is to not get another shot, even if it's not an ideal leave. An uncountable number of easy shots are missed because the player is thinking about his leave instead of making the shot. Make your last thought, making the shot and your game will seriously improve by virtue of not missing easy shots. Good videos you are producing now. Keep up the good work.
Gary it’s true, what you are saying has 100% been my issue, especially through a lot of these videos.
This past weekend in Vegas, I played the best pool of my life, and can’t wait to share it with you guys. What you are talking about is EXACTLY the biggest change!
I tell my guys: “yes, sure, play X spin to get here, or make sure you bump X ball right….. BUT LAST THING YOU DO, IS MAKE SURE YOUR SHOT STILL GOES IN THE HOLE!!!”
The biggest thing that changed for me was simply not missing. Ive gotten more comfortable with defense, which makes me feel OK about having shit leave, bc I can AT LEAST safe from there.
@@drewvonporte yep, you got it brother. 👍
you mentioned Dr Dave find his 30 90 rule video. There are times you have a general idea of where the ball is going but you dont know the path really. The more shots you can make without spin the more predicable your leaves will become. Watch filler that guy is a master at center ball.
Here is a tip on defence if you can't commit to running a table out. You need to look at on which shot you can you get a good safety.... waiting until you miss a leave then pray to play a good defence is just a mistake.
I will definitely check that out!! Always like bringing lessons to my pool team 💪🏼🤙🏼
This is so true. That is high-level play though if we’re being honest, but it is absolutely what mid-range players need to try and understand early!! 💯💯
Thanks for the feedback!!
on the 7 and 1 you were left with you could probably play inside spin and draw to hit it fuller and throw it in. that helps hold the cue ball
Call me crazy, I think outside* throws it in?… irregardless lol, I worry about doing that and hitting it too hard to get the spin to throw it! I usually do better than this with the pocket speed shots but 😔 i should’ve committed to going down and back ….. sigh.
@@drewvonporte lol i'll show you what i meant in Vegas
@@Saikonautic teach me somethin Gabe!!!
:Watching me ruin easy run outs"! Sounds like my games!
I like to get the runout down to about 3-4 balls, get perfect shape…… then take the runout, roll it up into a ball, walk out into the parking lot, and boot it over the building 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
that first 8 ball rack on the 2-7-1 situation. You just made a video about hold vs send... Shoulda sent it on the 7 there
Too soon. Get outta here. No one asked you. LEAVE!!!!!!! 👉🏼
Ugh, you’re right. I was so frustrated at that moment. I was married to my choice that these balls were straight in from the 2, it was hard for me to change my decision 🤡
Should’ve sent it 100%! Landing zone for the 1 was massive… decisional error #26 in that game!
Thank you for this 👊🏼💪🏼
Whats your opinion about tournament brackets. Insights?
Whatta you mean exactly?…….
@@drewvonporte does your region generally use modified single elimination for your qualifiers and tournaments? Or double elimination at times?
All of my content thus far on the channel has been League play, not tournament. So no bracket involved in anything I’m posting!
Different tournaments do it different ways. Our league has end-of-year tournaments that are typically “modified single elimination”, which means it is double elimination through the first 2 rounds, then it becomes single.
That is just so that least every player/team gets to play AT LEAST two matches 🤞🏼
What is the size of that pool table?
7 foot diamond 💎
Bottom left stun with a good even stroke would have given you position on the 1 in the top right corner.
For sure. Or just stunning down and back to keep it in the side. Mental errors man!! …
🫡 Thank you for the support
The 9 ball you missed at 31:45. The path 0f the cue ball would have scratched if you had made that shot. You should not have tried it with Follow. You should have played that shot with bottom left spin to avoid the side pocket
Do you offer pool lessons? By video?
Hm…. I dont?.
25:55. No amount of elevation can make that become a legal hit when the cue ball and object ball are that close together. Watch Dr. Dave's videos on these double tap fouls.
Wookie, so you know, I just went back and watched one of his on the subject: “10 useful ways to avoid a double hit foul”.
@1:40 ish, he states you can avoid it by elevating the cue, albeit extremely. One way to tell if it is a double hit, is if it crosses the tangent line forward, before it backspinning (due to the elevation).
My elevation was extreme, probably 80 degrees? And though we can’t see the cue ball from this angle, it backspin directly into the short rail and spun back up table. In case you thought it went directly forward.
In summary, if it was a double hit, it likely would not have been able to be seen without slow-motion footage. No one watched, and naked eye would have probably not shown enough proof to overturn it as an illegal hit……
…… and I got burnt anyway 😢 haha. I really think it was good though! Tell me what you think! Thanks for the feedback man 👊🏼
I think you need to look at the next ball you want to get on, but I’m just an APA 4 😂
☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣
Skill levels depend on the area. Sometimes an area has weaker players than other areas. Sl7's aren't always as strong, depending on where you are located. When i was sl6, i would beat up on 7's all the time. Playoff time is when you find out who is who and what's what.
I definitely believe that!!! I mean, if you put me in a league with the right top players in the area, I’m a SL-4 at best 😂
keep practicing bud. youll get there.. we all miss and make mistakes.. just need to learn from them. play on 9fters as much as possible. to help all around. were human and everone misses and loses..
For real. I havent played on a 9ft in months now. I’m due for a real reckoning and torture session getting re-adjusted…
Thank you man 👊🏼
Man just had the worse night of my game in a while last night. I was way to tired. .I'm a 4 playing a 3. Game went like this,. Opponent gets to 8. 8 WP I win. opponent wins. Opponent gets to 8. Scratches I win. Oppenent early 8 I win. I won the match without ever shooting the 8
Hahaha thats awesome… you got away with one!
Man, tough loss. I really hate those ones where its small mistakes that end up costing you. On another note, your opponent shot well enough but I definitely was not a fan of that stroke. He had that quick "jab and jerk" technique that you don't usually see with better players.
💯. His stroke is so wonky on so many shots. He’s gotten good enough with that to get him this far, but if you have that much insight to the game, you can take your game SO much further with a bit of work!!
It does the trick though, in most scenarios (see video 🤦🏻♂️)…
Thanks man 👊🏼 ill get em next time
@@drewvonporte I 100% agree, it seems like something that you'd expect someone playing in Masters to have addressed and resolved before they were playing at that level
On the other side tho, I wonder how many people saw someone like Shane (for example) early on and thought "This guy is never gonna make it at the professional level with that wrist cocked like that" 🤔😂
Not that I think this is a comparable situation here but the pros can definitely afford to have a quirk in their game when everything else is absolutely perfect! 💪🏻
It’s true! Shane’s stroke is up there with Efren’s lol.
Our Master’s league is not incredibly competitive. A lot of 5’s and 6’s in it so 🤷🏻♂️ you’ll see that here lol
And in that same vein, hard for me to criticize his stroke when he stomps me 7-4 😭😭😭
Open action for anyone in the APA. I eat APA players for breakfast and i leave room in my belly to eat a few real sharks afterwards.
HOLY SH!T HE FOUND US!!!
EVERYONE RUN!! HIDE! LOCK YOUR DOORS AND DON’T OPEN THEM FOR ANYBODY!!!!!! 😱😱😱
When you try to hold the cue ball it's a problem, you have to push through.... Follow through is your friend
💯…… 🫡…… 😔
The problem was, you played a guy using a maple stick and wearing yellow shoelaces. Generally known by the old-timers to be an unbeatable combo.
Omg it is…. Totally slid under my radar Clutch!!!
@43:45 they are all connected 1 7 2 8. they will roll natural for leave. The 2? sure it is in the pocket but if you leave bad your down table on the 1 or the 7... yep
PREACH….. you guys keep making me re-live this sad, sad moment 🤣🤣 just rushed decision making, not thinking clearly… then too afraid of myself to shoot my out of the issue 😪
@@drewvonporte Well Im in vegas next week maybe we will bump into one another and you can give me the what for!
Let’s go!!! Hey good look out there!!
Just when I was going to compliment you , bang-- Scratch.
Hahahaha this is my fav comment yet Paul!!
Game 6 instead of the reverse bank on the 8 cut that baby in and get out! 😃👍
Haha sure! In hindsight 😅
“Missing that cut leaves it sittin’ pretty for him, the bank is safer!”…. I told myself, right before leaving him straight in on the 8….
Just an observation but the other guy would improve dramatically if he worked on his stroke. The angle he strokes just leaves too much room for error on cue ball contact and he has a tendency to punch it without following through. Amazing he plays as well as he does.
So now you’re working for the enemy??….
Jk! Yeah his stroke is incredibly off…. But…. I don’t know how much he cares. He’s been undefeated like this 🤣 wish I wouldnta fell apart….
@@drewvonporte Haha, sorry about that but I couldn't help but comment. Yeah, it was amazing how well he does and all I could think is "if he can win with that stroke, imagine if he improved it?"
The frustration will be that you typically have to take a step backward to take two steps forward.
...Should have played the "Walt video..." 😁
He hath spoken! Walt video coming up!!!
Aaron's stroke isn't great, but he gets it done somehow
For sure. I can’t harp on it too much when he spanks me 7-4 haaa
A 7 makes that bank on the 8
You ain’t lying…. Or safe’s it well 😔
Drew... SL7 YOU ARE NOT... you miss to many straight shots, easy cut shots and you over power your hits that you cant set up for next ball ....more discipline !!!
SIR, YES SIR 🫡 DISCIPLINE, SIR!
@@drewvonportehahaha nice response my man
@@pookievanderbilt6889 i mean, dudes not wrong!!! 🤣
@@drewvonporte lmfao. Hey on a different topic I really enjoy the lines of the ball paths and your new statistical table. I would love to see a cue ball with a dot on it to show your English in tandem with the lines so we can see the cue ball strike point and the intended line. I think that would add even more to your channel. Wish you luck man- peace
@@pookievanderbilt6889 man, I would need to find a way to do it fairly efficiently. This is a lot of work doing all this, not asking for sympathy haha its a hobby, I enjoy it, but that is something I want to add in to.
You’re right though. Would add a lot when we’re discussing specific shots!!! Maybe we’ll see it in the next episode 👀😎
You don't put any pressure o on your opponent when you allow them a shot when you could tie them up. You can't win on every shot but you sure can lose that way.
💯💯
Now he has one ball on the table (2). Dont give him a shot on it
😔
57:00. No patience
😪
You made the right decision. Your pace was too much. You could have played it super soft like really soft and set up for the one in the side and the eight in the opposite side. Too hard.
Ugh 🤦🏻♂️….
Drew how lit are you? lol
nO onE cAn BeaT ME!!!!!………. Shit….
at like 45 minutes and 45 seconds in you were actually perfect on the 2, 7, 1. just needed a slow drag shot on the 7 then cut the 1 ball into the middle soft stun and youd be on the 8 in opposite middle.. if you over hit it youd be on the 8 in same middle pocket as the 1.. you just went wrong with the soft roll on the 7 ball...
if you wanted to you could have done a slight draw with a touch of left spin to spin it towards the 1 ball into the top right pocket and would just be a stun shot for the black.. but oh well i have done the same thing where i finish the game and think i should have done it this way instead but dont think about it at the time
Several ways. Yes, I could have salvaged this, but just taking the 7 first makes it a completely elementary run. I was completely in my head at that point. Many wrong decisions… sounds like you know the pain 🫡
@@drewvonporte yeah i was actually thinking 7 first as well but either of them was still able to finish just had to play better position haha yes know the pain all to well i usually run 6-7 balls every game and either miss the easy black or run out of position and have no position or snooker myself :( thats usually game over for me if i run the balls and miss the last ball haha but i do get the in the head situation i always have that when im on a master break or clearance i get down on the last or second last shot and think in my head yes iv got the master then i miss
i literally had my first proper master break last night in camp at work but it wasnt in a comp just practice
Man I know the feeling…..“Master Break”?…. Is that like a clearance or break-and-run??
@@drewvonportebreak and run.. it use to be called a master break here in australia haha iv done one break and run and like 2 clearances but have never done it in comp.. but i just sort of started playing comp this year
Awesome man! Congrats! I can remember the first time I broke-and-ran. Felt unstoppable. A good break is the biggest key to this, and didn’t realize that for quite some time 😬
Keep shootin’ man!! Looking forward to hearing of your progression!! 👊🏼
Hey Drew this is the first time I watched you play so I'm sure you probably play better than this.
I noticed that it looked like you fell into the table vision trap.
That is when your focus was only one or two ways to play the shot and so your position got out of whack.
Which in turn it snowballed into making you make the wrong decisions about what ball to play first being if that was the solids or stripes.
I'm pretty sure this mentally got to you.
When I was playing in Pro/Am tournaments and this would happen to me.
I would go to the bathroom was my face with cold water this would reset my brain.
Then when I got to the table I would just play one ball at a time.
Remember KISS, Keep it simple stupid.
This is such good advice. I think you are 💯% correct. A lot decisional errors in this game, which in hindsight was incredibly frustrating…. I need to try the bathroom + cold water + monologue next time
@@drewvonporte
you're welcome
@59:09 hit the 5 easy you literally have a leave on 1/4 of the table

Its like as soon as I realized I won… i self-sabotaged haha
You have a great stroke, just need to work on safe shots
They’re trash!!!!! When I don’t have to safe, I do okay. Which makes my barbox 9-ball game DECENT (less safety play in my opinion).
Thanks Mark!!! I have been working on my stroke !!!
@@drewvonporte I recommend watching professional snooker. There is no better safety play in cue sports. Just seeing what they do helps a great deal... Your stroke reminds me of a good snooker player.
Oof. I know it’s a great cue sport, but I have trouble relating…
My 1pkt game is DECENT. I get that safety play better than 9-ball. And 8-ball safety game too. But in 9-ball where you’re hiding (or hiding from) the same ball as your opponent, I just have to work on 😔
@@drewvonporte no need to relate, just seeing how they work the table is helpful... Stay in stroke? 😁
Maybe run it out when you had a chance?
😔….
Wow that was painful to watch. 28 innings for a race to 7? Hard to believe both of you were undefeated going into this match. Time to let your stroke out and sharpen up your shotmaking skills a little bit. Playing timidly allows your opponent extra chances to win instead of putting pressure on them. I hope to see an improvement on the next video.
Yeah, i mean, if you take away the 8 safeties, its like 20 innings across 11 racks. I’ve definitely played worse for sure, but you’re right. A handful of fairly easy shots I don’t particularly miss. Got in my head, instead of just letting my stroke out, like you said!!
Next one will be better. Just for you 🫡
I like me who do you like?
Aw I like you too Al
should ha e went 1 then 2 then 7 then 8
That would have worked too 😭
You should not drink when shooting. Not if you love the game
You’re totally right
Your commentary is off, your shots sounded scared but you made them. You were never scared
It’s fickle man! Hard to commentate your own stuff, specifically when you’re really butthurt about playing poorly…! I was 100% in my head when I was shooting, I assure you!
