Yes - I and many of you could have run out, even with not following these principles, by just making the little tougher positional shots. But I want to show you how to make less mistakes and how to make the game as easy as possible. And you do that by following these principles. If you make these things, I garantuee you will make less mistakes. Enjoy your lesson guys! P.S. Sorry for my pants.
As a beginner your videos are great, easily the best on TH-cam, the ball in the corner showing were to hit has helped me immensely thx for the time you take to make all your videos , keep up the excellent work
The animations and the way you structure your video makes this one of the best pool tutorial videos I've come across. Thanks for taking the time to make this, and your attention to detail.
I watch a lot of videos and this is def one of the best I’ve ever seen. Real life situations showing the common mistakes and how to plan differently. Thanks for all the work you put into the video and thinking the way a little better than average players would think. Super helpful!
Great video. I love the lessons where you show the unsuccessful or non-ideal shots/positions/plays before you show the successful breaks. Really makes things easier to grasp.
I agree. I also learn something new every time I watch not only your instructions and planning, but just watching your easy going approach to the game. I love your stroke and it helps keep me calm when I play. When I am in a match as opposed to practicing, things tend to speed up and one has to adjust constantly. I'm hoping to run out more. You are not playing the other guy, you are playing alone with what the table gives you. At 74 I'm an average player and have made a comeback from two shoulder surgeries and love playing pool. Thank you so much for your videos, I appreciate them. 😊
Your videos brought me back to the game after over 15 years retired. I'm now teaching my daughter and your videos making it a lot easier. Best videos on this platform. Thank you. ♥️
I've been playing for a couple of months now and discovering this channel has improve my game drastically and my confidence that I know what I'm doing. big ups to you bro!
This is information that most of the players I see need. Everyone tries to force the balls to the position instead of rolling to the natural positions. Thanks
Thank you for another GREAT video! I greatly appreciate the time you take and effort you put into making these videos. We love the way you explain each shot, how you take the time to show the English used and the chance to figure the challenges out! Please keep up the great work. Thank You !!!!!
I just started playing APA after not playing pool for a long time and your videos are reminding me of things I forgot and also teaching me things that help a lot!
I love this video channel. Great work. I love the way you explained in the kicking (mirror system) how it would work and you advised to add your feel in the end. Bravo. Please continue.
@@Sharivari now here's a challenge.... We both give lessons here in NS. The hardest thing to do is break someone of bad habits. Love to see you walk up to three players with horrible stance or stroke and FIX them. Beginners are easy.... advanced players with bad habits so hard to FIX! love the game...off to Nationals this week to represent!!!
Good stuff. One thing I would add, is it is preferable to work the ENTIRE initial table backwards or forwards (whichever you prefer, but I find backwards faster and easier, last ball back to the first you'll shoot). This let's you work out key balls to the final (if not rotation, obviously) and key balls to breakouts early on while "insurance" balls are easily obtainable if the breakout doesn't go exactly to plan and a shot didn't come available out of it. It also lets you, IMHO, work out rolling balls up shot lines rather than across them more often (and more easily) to mitigate the "cost" of speed errors, at least, I suspect, until you get to where your patterning capabilities are more automatic (learned). I do agree the 3 ball ahead is a minimum, though, and a good place to start. I like your channel and your explanations. For people commenting they can run out without this, OK, but not as often, and EVERY pro and good amateur level player uses and understands this stuff, and will beat you (almost surely) in the long run pretty much EVERY time. Nuff' said. It's kind of like the other night in league where I got a "MAN, that was a really good shot!" from a guy who is MUCH better than I am (probably an A player, or VERY close). I felt like saying, yeah, it will be nice to get to the point where my positioning DOESN'T require shots like that. If you look around, you can find another source, I think it's Hall's or Massey's clock English technique to understand a lot about the English application/result in a simple to follow format. AND, as for the pants, at least your underwear wasn't riding down....thanks for that! ;-) Liked.
Having the target on the cue ball gives the added bonus of showing exactly how to find the proper direction to send the cue ball down the correct line for shape on the next ball...so many instructional videos leave this important information out...I am impressed by your videos and look forward to many more
I've been playing pool for 50 years and still forget some of those basic rules. Like not crossing the line when you don't have to. Thank you . I'm 70 and still learning. Although I played pretty good I still make those mistakes you talked about. So from one German to another you're doing a great job. Keep up the good work and your channel will thrive. Wish you the best of luck
Hello Sharivari. I am 64 years old have been playing pool all wrong my entire life. I grew up with a pool table in my basement and my friends and I played for fun without looking passed the current shot. I never played position and never practiced. I haven’t played in years and recently bought a table. I have recently subscribed to your TH-cam videos and have been working on my game. I really respect the way you play and especially enjoy the way you teach the game. You make it look easy, but I know and can see the countless hours that have been spent to develop your skill. I need to adapt a bit from your methods since I have a spine disease which limits my flexibility. I cannot get down on the ball like I should, but I am beginning to establish a Sight line and muscle memory as I practice more and more. Thank you for your guidance.
Sharvari, great and very informative video- all of it! Sorry some of these people were more fixated with your slightly sagging jeans rather than the point of the video itself. Keep up the great work brother!
This is one of the best videos on pool there is. I really like the way you approach making your videos & I also really like the way you show your English on the cue ball. Very informative and professional!
This video refreshed my memory about traveling into the line of aim for future shots. This, like all of your videos, are well paced, and visually demonstrated in a way a common person can understand. Grateful that there are people like you who give us an opportunity to learn to think like a great pool player. Thank you.
thank you for showing the different possibilities on how to run and position a cue ball for each shot on the table. the demonstrations are very helpful for a novice player.
🙋🏼Hello, On that last example the whole time I was thinking that it was a simple runout, nothing fancy to do, just a few stun shots. But when you started making it more difficult than it had to be I thought maybe you were trying to show a better way to do it. But then you did exactly what I was thinking and it made me realize I was right. It's good to know that I had the right mind set all along. What many people don't think about ( I'd love to see you make a video on) is that the easy shot isn't always the first shot you should make, especially when you have a lot of balls tied up or on the rails. Also, could you do more videos on safety play and using kick shots to get out of difficult situations to make a shot? More often in league or tournament play we are put in difficult situations where we need to know how to kick at the ball. I'd like to know how a rail reacts when you use English to shot at it. That kind of video would be so helpful. Thank for another great video, your a wonderful teacher. BTW is that you making the shots in the video? Just curious🤔
Sharivari videos are the best training video's if you want to improve your game- I really like it when he shoots a shot but does not get perfect position - then shows us a better way / shot to get the perfect position. I also like how he shows where he his hitting the cue ball. this is very helpful. Plus his camera work is very good, and easy to follow along with his explanations. Thank you very much for your You-Tube videos I have learned a lot
Great video! I’m familiar with most of these principles but am really working hard on the “towards the line” one. My instinct a lot of the time is to slow roll shots and go one rail, when often going towards the line can require two rails with side spin
You make fine videos. I like your pleasant attitude, and your short lessons are easy to understand and practice. Thank you for helping understand the principles that make pool easier.
Super good vid! I love that you show the mistakes and how to think around them the next time. Also, nice job on the hand switch for the last 10 ball, smooth!
Very nice lessons , its always better to learn from somebody brimming with passion , i recognise it and i know for a fact there is so much to learn from you . Thank you !!! By the way you are a very nice player .
On one hand, I am so glad that all three of my planned path (at least for the first several shots) are exactly the same as your "solution". On the other, I wish that I had seen this video a couple years ago which would be insanely helpful to me at that point. Thank you Sharivari for making such good videos. You are an excellent pool player, demonstrater and instructor. However, I would like to point out that most of the shots are constantly "trade-off"s between shot-making and positioning. Take your third pattern as an example, although a stop shot on the 4-ball gave a natural stop shot position on the 5, the next shot is a harder long-distance straight shot which some players may find more uncomfortable with and might take a slightly riskier stun shot and make the 5 into the side. So my point is anyone watching this video should practice and bear all six principles in their minds but when actually deciding each shot also compare the difficulty between positioning versus shot-making.
Great stuff, sir. I am an averae player. My game never really seems to improve to the next level. Maybe some of these things you talk about can help me with that. Cheers
I always like your vid's due to your direct approach. Short, sweet and to the point. Others I have seen talk way to much. You on the other hand do not. I see myself doing what you teach easier and if it has been some time since I watched a vid of yours then I know the info will percolate in the back of my mind until I can apply what I learned watching you thanks. It has been helping me catch up to my older gentleman friends skill level.
I really enjoyed this Video. It would be a dream to take in person lessons with you. Your videos have been immensely helpful to me when I am trying to improve my game.
Great video. well presented and very well narrated. Not to mention first class info. Not too long and easy to follow. Ill definitely be winning more games even after just 1 viewing. Thank you very much. Subscribed. Cheers m8y.

This is the best all round tutorial on the game that I have ever seen.
Thank you.
Me too. You are the best
Awesome video man. I love the cue ball in the top corner showing English.
Genius idea it is.

Best training video I've seen with showing the actual english displayed on the ball.. Thank you for the trouble you put into this video for us.
Your videos are making me a better player!! Thank you ☺️ I especially like that you put the box in the corner showing the English .. helps a lot!
Great video. I loved how you showed English on the ball definitely helps see the development!
I love the way you show us where you hit the cue ball on every shot. That is so very helpful. Thank you for your videos. Subscribed!
Your videos brought me back to the game after over 15 years retired. I'm now teaching my daughter and your videos making it a lot easier. Best videos on this platform. Thank you. ♥️
Possibly the most useful video I've seen. Great job on explaining the principles

This is information that most of the players I see need. Everyone tries to force the balls to the position instead of rolling to the natural positions. Thanks
Great video. I now get to know more clues on how to shoot the cue ball in different angles
One of the best channel, i’m really glad i found you.
I gained about two extra shots and a ton of confidence. Thanks brother
This is one of the best pool instruction videos period :)
Thank you for another GREAT video! I greatly appreciate the time you take and effort you put into making these videos. We love the way you explain each shot, how you take the time to show the English used and the chance to figure the challenges out! Please keep up the great work. Thank You !!!!!

Good job I learn a lot watching your video , thank you !
From the top pool couple in NS we enjoy your explanation of the game. Get a chuckle every time you say wideo instead of video. 🙂
Thank you. Haha, it's just so hard for me to say it the right way, because it sounds so wrong compared to German where you say "wideo".

Picked all three paths,I'm glad my thought process is improving thanks to the great video's. So informative!
These videos are super informative and helpful.
I especially like your use of a cue
ball graphic with hit target.
Keep it up!
Sharivari has some of the best instructional videos on the web. Each video is concise and informative. Watch, listen and learn. Thanks Sharivari!
