I used to have bad impression of Emily from watching her matches. But watching this video how she explains things to Rollie and how she expresses her thoughts and skills on the table, I feel that she is very friendly and genuine, and also very skilled. Much respect.
Thank you for your nice comment Long Vu! I really appreciate you taking the time to write it & I’m glad you got to see another side of my game. It can be tricky for people to get to know players just from a handful of online matches, when we have played thousands. I loved making this video with Rollie & hope to make more of them in the future!
This guy knows how to bring in views. If more people were like rollie in this sport it would be much more entertaining and would help revive the game we love
Yes if they are both single he should ask her out on a date. She thinks he is hilarious, and we do too of course

The more episode this series gets, the more it shows how knowledge and practice accumulate over time! That being said, I feel that Emily was the best teacher so far! Keep it up Rollie.
"From Beginner to Average"... i'm watching this video last night, and, today i'm practising every detailed what Emily Duddy said in this video... Booom... suddenly my game improved sooo much just like turned from "Beginner to Average"... Thank You So Much Rollie, Thank you so much Emily Duddy.
Yeh, looks like Ronnie. Only difference is Ronnie doesn’t hold cue level with the table as taught in this video. Ronnie maintains a slope in his cue plane and drops his elbow on the shot to get through the white ball more than any other player. If he cued level, he would hit the table rail with the shaft of his cue during the elbow drop.
The ultimate Rollie video. Gather up a few of these great pool players and visit the UK for a couple ‘fun at the table’ sessions with Ronnie O’Sullivan and a few other Snooker greats.
YES! It's great to hear a PRO validate the fact that I like to walk the table after I break or first time up, and map out a basic plan all the way to the 9 ball. Then drop back to focusing on next 3, then focus on the shot you're on. Terrific video, Rollie!
19:53 was the most helpful tip that I got since I thought closed bridge is the way to go but now I learned that open bridge is for precision now I know that I can level up my game
closed bridge is for losers! you never see a snooker player play with closed bridge. The better technique you have the less you need to use closed bridge
Mr. Williams, your channel is absolutely, without a doubt, amazing!!! You've got the best pool content in the game brother. Your skills are improving dramatically. I love how your able to get in touch with all these professionals and have a full on lesson on video. It's extremely insightful, and educational. I've always loved pool, because it's a very relaxing and creative sport. It's a game for the geniuses for sure.
These videos are brilliant, the lessons are incredibly helpful even just for us watching. You’re a great presenter, this could just get slapped onto a TV channel and it wouldn’t be out of place. Cracking work!
This video is really a game changer far anyone trying to become a precision pool player. Keeping it stupidly simple. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this content with us its extremely,y helpful.
@27:00 you truly do take advice well. I watched your last video and was overly annoyed with your comments and general demeanor, and then I watch this one and can't be more impressed with how you took the advice others gave you and adjusted. To be clear: you look less awkward, made good banter and looked at the camera like you do, but didn't overdo any of it. Extremely impressed by your work!
Emily was so right about the sound of timing the ball well. Mark Williams and many other pro snooker players that have played against Ronnie O'Sullivan have been amazed at how well he times his cueing. Up close you can hear how well he times his shots
Great fun as always Rollie, but some really solid good advice from Emily. I'm a snooker player in the UK and it's such a great insight to see the pros chatting and giving away secrets. Come over to the UK Rollie and interview Ronnie or Judd :o)
See Emily Play! I imagine she's used that Pink Floyd reference in her life. Emily's great. She took the lesson and video shoot seriously. So much so that Rollie goofed it up a bit to offset how intent and serious she was being. Rollie got away with it because he shot so well here. Great entertaining and informative episode. Emily explained and spoke well, and Rollie kept the episode moving. As an aside, I like how you predict the shot as it happens. It made for very smooth and understandable edits.
That last tip she gave was excellent I figured that out just by watching Shane and the top players play you rarely see them play that hard stroke and touch believe me the game becomes so much easier
Man, I watched three videos and you made me subscribe to your channel! You’re funny and super entertaining! Your face when you miss a shot RIGHT AFTER being taught that exact shot, PRICELESS!!!! Awesome people you’re meeting and amazing how their influence on you is showing as your game improves!!! Also, LOVE Jennifer Barretta and Emily Duddy voices!!! Those ladies could talk to me all day and I’d sit still just listening to those beautiful voices!!! Love Emily’s raspy voice all the way! When are you going to meet Efren Reyes? Thank you!
@@barbarasteed3966 first thing I noticed about her game was she had a lot of fire and heart. Not to mention she's a doll. One of my favorite women players for sure ❤️
You should make a video with tips for going from bad to average, what are the most importing things to do to rise up to an average level? Many of the things i see here are super interesting miles above my level
Is it a prerequisite to have an awesome personality to be a pool professional lol?. Every single one of the pros you've interviewed are so down to Earth and cool.
Thank you for doing this series I think it is going to help me a lot. From the age of 16 when I started driving I played everyday 8 to 12 hours a day at our local bowling center except Christmas day for 8 years. I read every book i could get my hands on and every VCR tape I could get about pool. I got really good. I got a job, at 27 that didn't allow me to play as much, but I didn't really need to at that point. Then I got married 5 days before my 29th birthday and I didnt want to be a competitive pool player anymore I wanted to be a husband and a Dad. I started playing again competing in tournaments and at 45 which was may of 2019. I weigh a lot more and see a lot less. I had to change my stance because of my size, which really affected my play style thank you for doing this video series Rollie.
Emily, your training is the best I have come across so far; you are good. Your training in combination with DrDave and Kohler Venom and Rollie's practice and exposure has helped me advance my skills. Many thanks both of you.
not only is this video informative but very entertaining, to say the least!! Thank you so much Rollie, for sharing!! I would love to see one with Michael Yednak because of his deep knowledge of the game and great instructional skills!!
She teaches the snooker stance. I think this will be standard in pool in 10 years. An open bridge is necessary, if the taper is conical (snooker cues), otherwise it depends more on your preferences.
i agree, yoou can already see the shift in younger pros, it also looks like the pool players that use closed bridge hold there head a lot higher to see the shaft better, with snooker stance head is much lower so the sight picture is really akward if you use closed bridge because it covers the shaft so much
She has some pretty mindblowing insight on position play. I'm going to need to watch this vid more than once. I'm fascinated how you (and many many other players I've known) make plenty of fundamental mistakes, and yet are still a better shot than me. Not counting position play, I don't make the mistakes she and other pros point out, and at the same time, I am completely confident that you would absolutely destroy me in any game.
Pretty cool, Emily seems like really cool person/player, a lot of pool players can be completely nasty so. That said I don't care for stroke mechanics type lessons. But yeah, parallel cue unless you're jacking up for some reason, like stop shot on rail or what have you. Wish she did more patterns, but was helpful. The bit about having insurance pockets, excellent!! You have insurance object balls, but rotation the cue ball position is really the shot, and so have insurance pockets, just excellent, don't know why I never thought about that more. Also really like the cut side pocket shot with outside English to set up going away from 7. Just in general you don't have to always travel TO the ball but can also move away from it, just love the intelligence there. Emily is really smart I can tell and knows pool. One other thing about missing 9's or 8's just try to feel it, as always. You can't measure precisely enough to be terrible at this game let alone good, only by feel some how we are able to make the shots. Just have to feel it, no aiming systems or nonsense no secret tricks to make every ball. And that final point, stop focusing on making the ball if you're playing 9 ball, it's a carom game not really a pocket game that happens to have pockets.
Fundamentals are a never ending thing to practice and iron out flaws. As a snooker player I can honestly say that playing pool breeds bad habits into one's game, and playing snooker regularly shows how much of an impact playing pool has on regular fundamental mechanics of stance cueing action and technical approach. Having someone else or a camera to tell/show you what you are doing wrong or can improve on is an absolute necessity if you are serious and dedicated to improving your game regardless of what level of player you are. All pros do is go back to basics every single day.
Also, can we talk about how much deflection there was in the cue when she broke the last game? She was pushing it into the table so hard is had a massive bend in it. Good lord
Thousand thanks Rollie for this video. I love the way Emily teaches and the good tips she shared with us. By the way, I went on her site and found the best pool book you should get for a beginner like me (3 years) : PLEASURES OF SMALL MOTIONS By: Bob Fancher, this book brought me to the next level, thanks Emily !
20:16 ... The face comparison is actually not that far off, if Rollie was clean shaven like Ronnie, they'd actually look pretty similar lmao Also, love Emily, she's so knowledgeable and seems like a really cool person to play some pool with. Wish I lived there, I'd definitely be her student lol
Man love your videos! Liked and subscribed. Lots of awesome lessons by professionals on so many aspects of the game! I would love to go around and get lessons from these pro's and thanks to your channel I am.
I love what you have done with the channel. Remember playing you @society but great to see amsterdam again. Keep up the great vids brother. Greetings from romania!
Another great one Rollie. Now I am waiting for Efren Reyes' episode. Let's do it!
HELL YEAH!!!
Yeaaaa
Agree.
The only problem I could see would be efrens English
It would be awesome
I used to have bad impression of Emily from watching her matches. But watching this video how she explains things to Rollie and how she expresses her thoughts and skills on the table, I feel that she is very friendly and genuine, and also very skilled. Much respect.

Did not expect she will teach you how to stand and how to cue. And this is surprisingly very helpful. Thank you. Please keep it up
I was kinda surprised that he elevates so much on cushion shots. Considering how much he already knows about pool.
if she knew maybe she would win a title or make the quarter finals at least.
I love her athletic approach to the game.
@@PostUp_Time the stance and cueing isn't helping her. Her problem is her stroke..it's very choppy and lacks follow through
I met her today, she's ssssooooo awesome
It was great to meet you Shantol!! I can’t wait to come back to Jamaica soon & see you again 😍
I like these videos for many reasons. My favorite reason is seeing the pros personality. Emily has a great one.
Wow! She points out flaws I have had for years in just 30 minutes!
The chemistry!!
Her teaching skills are amazing and you two look great together! Most important question: Is there going to be a second date?
lmao the chem is real
seriously!! They were hitting it off the whole time. haha
Yes if they are both single he should ask her out on a date. She thinks he is hilarious, and we do too of course
The more episode this series gets, the more it shows how knowledge and practice accumulate over time! That being said, I feel that Emily was the best teacher so far! Keep it up Rollie.
I like that you can actually tell you have improved and taken on board the "3 angles ahead" advice from your previous lesson with a pro. Good job.
5:45 Literally laughed out loud! haha
"From Beginner to Average"... i'm watching this video last night, and, today i'm practising every detailed what Emily Duddy said in this video... Booom... suddenly my game improved sooo much just like turned from "Beginner to Average"... Thank You So Much Rollie, Thank you so much Emily Duddy.
This is gold.... thank you for really making an effort into the production of these videos.
Thanks!
Omg Emily's instructions are so to the points. Thanks Rollie for sharing those to all pool lovers
Emily hit on several really critical issues that have already helped me. This video has improved my shot-making. Thanks a lot.
Very confident walking around the table analyzing and helping rollie improve. Nice video. Were rooting for you Emily I hope you continue your success.
"rOhNNIE OHsUHLiVAHN!!!11" I laughed my ass off, great video, always looking forward to your videos. Keep up the good work!
Minute ?

This woman has shown all the fundamental things needed to improve, very good coach
Every time I hear that sound effect you put with the “blew it” I laugh and this one was one of the better uses of it 😂
When you said *tuxedo* 😂, I had to pause and have a good laugh for 2 minutes hahaha great video and great tips!
YES! It's great to hear a PRO validate the fact that I like to walk the table after I break or first time up, and map out a basic plan all the way to the 9 ball. Then drop back to focusing on next 3, then focus on the shot you're on.
Terrific video, Rollie!
Because of you i started playing 9 ball with my friends, and this kind of videos helps a lot, keep going.
this channel is great. keep up the good work. i think you can now name it the slightly above average player vs pro. 😆
Emily gave the average player a lot of very good points to improve your game. Thanks ,Emily
Great channel, Emily looks like such a class act.
Rollie’s got the sauce..... she was loving the strokes fam
19:53 was the most helpful tip that I got since I thought closed bridge is the way to go but now I learned that open bridge is for precision now I know that I can level up my game
closed bridge is for losers! you never see a snooker player play with closed bridge. The better technique you have the less you need to use closed bridge
weird i can only like this once. is anyone else having the same issue? another great episode Rollie cant wait for the next one

Best lesson yet! Emily really knows how to teach the game.
Playing position on the 9 is an awesome tip! So is the lesson on shooting a cue ball on the rail!! 👍👍
These videos are brilliant, the lessons are incredibly helpful even just for us watching. You’re a great presenter, this could just get slapped onto a TV channel and it wouldn’t be out of place. Cracking work!
This series is gold! I hope you come back in the new normal
This video is really a game changer far anyone trying to become a precision pool player. Keeping it stupidly simple. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this content with us its extremely,y helpful.
She's awesome and a lefty like me. Great video I learned a lot!
32:45 dude drops his cue in the back
Nice attention to detail

really good tips in this video! Emily is an amazing player, and super smart. Amsterdam players are lucky to have her as a house pro.
Thank you Emily and Rollie for an informative great video! Emily, thank you for sharing your knowledge and best of luck to both of you!
This video really helped me out. I tried her stance advice and I was making balls and my control was better
Love her teaching personality. Makes me want to go to New York for a lesson.
See Emily Play! I imagine she's used that Pink Floyd reference in her life. Emily's great. She took the lesson and video shoot seriously. So much so that Rollie goofed it up a bit to offset how intent and serious she was being. Rollie got away with it because he shot so well here. Great entertaining and informative episode. Emily explained and spoke well, and Rollie kept the episode moving. As an aside, I like how you predict the shot as it happens. It made for very smooth and understandable edits.
Only hardcore pink floyd fans know that song. The casuals won't get the reference
Wow, just came across this and can't help but comment on Emily's ability to teach. So much so that I found her channel and subscribed. Good stuff.
I'm so glad there was a snooker connection made there. Excellent video Rollie.
That last tip she gave was excellent I figured that out just by watching Shane and the top players play you rarely see them play that hard stroke and touch believe me the game becomes so much easier
i just had a lesson with Earl a couple weeks ago at Sandcastle Billiards in New Jersey. it was a blast. Would love to see you run his gauntlet lol.
strickland? he's meant to be super nice.
How much for the training sessions?
@@reygonzalez7483 $100 an hour. 2 hour minimum. More than worth it.
@@RocknCourt30 awesome thanks brother.
@@RocknCourt30 that's worth it. Is he busy?
Great instructional Session.
Well done to you and Emily.
Cheers
This is one of your best videos yet. She really made you think lots and I think it helped you loads.
Rollie...its funny and educational for us Amatuers. Great Job!!
Bro she is such a great teacher holy shit i learned all that for free
Man, I watched three videos and you made me subscribe to your channel! You’re funny and super entertaining! Your face when you miss a shot RIGHT AFTER being taught that exact shot, PRICELESS!!!!

When are you going to meet Efren Reyes?
Thank you!
She's a great teacher.. I would for sure pay for lessons from her.. Come to Las Vegas Emily :)
Pretty sure was there during the world championship last month at the Westgate...pretty sure I seen her in the elevator
Yeah I love all her tips on your Game. Shes a talented instructor.
Every time I watch Emily learn something..
@@barbarasteed3966 first thing I noticed about her game was she had a lot of fire and heart. Not to mention she's a doll. One of my favorite women players for sure ❤️
your hard work is paying off the break and run was very good
Thank you! I loved this video! Her position/English drill is awesome. Gives me a new drill to practice this weekend. Thanks again!
You should invite Emily Duddy for more lessons, she really knows how to teach.
You should make a video with tips for going from bad to average, what are the most importing things to do to rise up to an average level? Many of the things i see here are super interesting miles above my level
Tiago Silva I suggest watching earlier videos my dude! They address these things.
He is leaps and bounds better than when he first started.
I think he should get a pretty and funny girl to do a From New to Average series.
Is it a prerequisite to have an awesome personality to be a pool professional lol?. Every single one of the pros you've interviewed are so down to Earth and cool.
Pool pros are çool because they always have their emotion s in check. Their supposed to at least.
That was great!
Thank you for doing this series I think it is going to help me a lot.

Nice one Rollie. I have played with my Friend Emily in league. She used to kick all butts there.
Love you Emily! From John Rodriquez
Hi John! Great to hear from you & I remember our good old league days. Hope you’re doing well, cheers!
I just love this channel keep making vids.. actually so impressed with that break and run
She is a fantastic teacher.
She needs her own channel I could listen (👀) all day
Emily, your training is the best I have come across so far; you are good. Your training in combination with DrDave and Kohler Venom and Rollie's practice and exposure has helped me advance my skills. Many thanks both of you.
I remember her from the TV show "The Hustlers". Funny you have had Emily and Jennifer Barretta both as your coaches who were both on that TV show.
So much knowledge bro. keep posting stuff like this please
not only is this video informative but very entertaining, to say the least!! Thank you so much Rollie, for sharing!! I would love to see one with Michael Yednak because of his deep knowledge of the game and great instructional skills!!
She is such a good teacher, starting from postures, to pace etc, thanks a lot for creating this, will be one notch up for the next game
absolutely one of the best pieces of advice on the money ball....play friggin position boys and girls. miss the money ball at least 50% less.
She teaches the snooker stance. I think this will be standard in pool in 10 years.
An open bridge is necessary, if the taper is conical (snooker cues), otherwise it depends more on your preferences.
i agree, yoou can already see the shift in younger pros, it also looks like the pool players that use closed bridge hold there head a lot higher to see the shaft better, with snooker stance head is much lower so the sight picture is really akward if you use closed bridge because it covers the shaft so much

I been to here couple times, and its always pack! but, this is always my best to go place to play pool when I am in Manhattan.
Great information enjoy the video easy to comprehend . Good teacher.
I wish you meet Efren and do a vid with him THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
She's awesome thank you
Man, have i been waiting for this!
Pretty cool, Emily seems like really cool person/player, a lot of pool players can be completely nasty so. That said I don't care for stroke mechanics type lessons. But yeah, parallel cue unless you're jacking up for some reason, like stop shot on rail or what have you. Wish she did more patterns, but was helpful. The bit about having insurance pockets, excellent!! You have insurance object balls, but rotation the cue ball position is really the shot, and so have insurance pockets, just excellent, don't know why I never thought about that more. Also really like the cut side pocket shot with outside English to set up going away from 7. Just in general you don't have to always travel TO the ball but can also move away from it, just love the intelligence there. Emily is really smart I can tell and knows pool. One other thing about missing 9's or 8's just try to feel it, as always. You can't measure precisely enough to be terrible at this game let alone good, only by feel some how we are able to make the shots. Just have to feel it, no aiming systems or nonsense no secret tricks to make every ball. And that final point, stop focusing on making the ball if you're playing 9 ball, it's a carom game not really a pocket game that happens to have pockets.
Reminds me of the Great Robert (Bob) Byrnes talking about zone position.
Fundamentals are a never ending thing to practice and iron out flaws. As a snooker player I can honestly say that playing pool breeds bad habits into one's game, and playing snooker regularly shows how much of an impact playing pool has on regular fundamental mechanics of stance cueing action and technical approach. Having someone else or a camera to tell/show you what you are doing wrong or can improve on is an absolute necessity if you are serious and dedicated to improving your game regardless of what level of player you are. All pros do is go back to basics every single day.
Also, can we talk about how much deflection there was in the cue when she broke the last game? She was pushing it into the table so hard is had a massive bend in it. Good lord
That's a technique to accentuate follow through. Very common
Way to go Rollie!
Hope someday you'll find your way into getting tips from Ronnie the 🐐 himself!
Her troll at the end of game 4 is clutch.
I honestly can't believe how helpful this was. I learned so much!
Rollie, come to The Philippines and bring her along with you to go with Efren on his barrio tours. Ill be your tour guide! :)
Thousand thanks Rollie for this video. I love the way Emily teaches and the good tips she shared with us. By the way, I went on her site and found the best pool book you should get for a beginner like me (3 years) : PLEASURES OF SMALL MOTIONS By: Bob Fancher, this book brought me to the next level, thanks Emily !
Learned so much!
20:16 ... The face comparison is actually not that far off, if Rollie was clean shaven like Ronnie, they'd actually look pretty similar lmao
Also, love Emily, she's so knowledgeable and seems like a really cool person to play some pool with. Wish I lived there, I'd definitely be her student lol
Brilliant stuff
So helpful, so many details I never think about as I try to improve my pool game (lots of room for that LOL). Thank you!
Great videos man. Really cool seeing the mindset of a pro. Doing a great job keep up the good work.
Fantastic teacher. Tigers, Lions and Bears!
Top tips!
Man love your videos! Liked and subscribed. Lots of awesome lessons by professionals on so many aspects of the game! I would love to go around and get lessons from these pro's and thanks to your channel I am.
I love what you have done with the channel. Remember playing you @society but great to see amsterdam again. Keep up the great vids brother. Greetings from romania!
over the rail shot is literally something i struggle with a lot. I'm always afraid of miscueing
