Hey Brian what’s your advice on bouncing back from a bad game ?.

Very helpful video. I really need to work on my draw shots. This looks so effortless. Even the last 9ft shot you dont hammer the ball to get the outcome.

This is all good advice. There are also plenty of things for the opposite side of the coin. I'm a 7 and play a totally different game and thought process when playing down big gaps. 1. Don't let the pressure get to you, shoot your game, control the table, you'll win just fine. 2. The biggest thing against playing 1s and 2s is don't give them ball in hand so make sure you're not going to scratch with a lower % shot, try to avoid leaving pocket hangers as well. 3. Don't over reach, especially on 8 ball. Don't take a risky kick to the 8 ball if they have 5 balls left on the table, avoid a scratch on the 8 as much as possible. 4. Your safety's don't have to be lock up anymore, often just leaving them long or a thinner cut will be good enough. When you play these move your balls closer to a pocket or in the open, take care of your problem balls.

100% :) Love it! Let's Gooooo Be Safe

Not my best position play, but I managed to get through these racks with some luck and some shot making. Still an opportunity for some of you guys to learn something. Enjoy.

Would like to know your comments on que ball position on the break.

Thank you again for a fantastic video!

Great video

👍👍👍

Is there a link ??? For the rack that you're using ?? I'd like to get one .. but I would like you to get the credit thank you

LMAO, "Why are your hands sticky?" You're hilarious!

nice video , in Japan i notice they have all ball random racking , and when watching the Woman Pool i notice it random but 2 ball on bottom like you have it , i like the Japanese random every rack is random

Yep, strategy and planning matter… shot making and pacing aside it’s the most important game-changer I’ve learned from Brian. Do the zoom thing.

Great practice playing against the Ghost! I really enjoy your "Keep It Simple Stupid" approach to pool.

Some of that wasn't the best position play. However, being a 'shot maker' being able to pocket more difficult shots makes it not a problem.

Hola

"Spoiler, the ghost does not win". MAYBE NOT WITH YOU!!! 🙂 Even then, though, you can pick a case on video where you did win...just sayin;, No call outs, just a point out. Kidding aside, it is nice that you do the demos front to back, uncut. Just curious, do you have a Fargo rating? You look like you have a really good game. It wouldn't be bragging now, because I asked,

Nice run outs, and very sexy carom! 🫡

Ghosts can't rattle keys when you have them all

Who's that super hot girl though? 😍

My league team captain has started working with us (mostly me) on cue-ball control by playing a modified version of Saratoga. We play it the normal way, except we use all 15 balls, not 13. Same general idea; after the break, choose whether you want solids or stripes by pocketing a ball, but after that pocket, every shot has to be geared toward either making the lowest of your set of balls or hitting it and playing defense. Playing rotation that way forces me to focus on whether offense or defense is a better option every single time I get ready to shoot a ball, and it also forces me to focus on cue ball control; not just making the shot I'm shooting, but where I'm leaving the cue ball for the next shot. It has really helped my standard 8-ball game a lot.

Another great Lesson Thank You

how much does it cost to get this exact table?

So many similarities with golf!! Holding the stick as if you were holding a bird, the follow through ... thanks it is very interesting and informative

Hey Gang, Thanks for watching and do not forget to check out FXBilliards.com for more ways to improve your game: fxbilliards.com/

love this

Thanks from Brazil...Amazing content! Simple and clear. A turning point for me, thank you!

Great video spitting FACTZ as always Big ups COLDRED

I regularly make a ball from the spot ,but ill try the angle.

Great video lots of awesome information 🎉....

Definitely 5 stars for u 😊

You teach me so much, B. You’re by far my favorite billiards creator and we all appreciate you. This video demonstrates the necessity between switching between open and closed bridges, which I find super difficult. You’re the man, B, thank you as always. 🫡🍻🎱

Thank you for making the video!

Hey Brian Thanks for all your great instructional videos- you are one of the best! I have to ask you again though, what are YOU looking at when you’re making contact for a draw shot? Is it the cue ball or object ball? I remember you saying it varies between players, e.g., break shots it’s probably the cue ball, etc. But what are YOUR eyes on when you make contact? Thanks again for your clear and concise instructions.

I have been playing pool since 1967. I thought I was above average. Brian you are great. I love watching your tips and listening to your dialogue. Keep up the excellent work. I need to get back to doing the drills.

I LIKE TO DRAW AND STOP THE CUE BALL ❤

Great info, but curious about your “draw with spin” comment in the first minute (7 ball draw back to make the 8). Though the cue ball did have a bit of spin just before it touched the rail ahead of the 8 ball, I’d thought this shot was all about using the side contact on the cue ball to deliver deflection, which allows a fuller hit on the OB and changes the contact angle. The OB is spun in the pocket a bit from the fuller contact & imparted spin, and your stroke delivers just enough momentum so at contact, the pure under spin takes over. I use this stroke gear on a flat angle draw shot, where I want to flatten the draw-back angle to be straighter and seems all due to deflection effect rather than spin. Is that the physics of what’s going on?

I am going to play Dirty pool I been trained by a pro 😮😊

Bank shot 😮😊

2nd ball break has its advantages. In handicapped tournaments or leagues where you are giving game spots or balls spots, it can be both an offense and defensive play. Offensive due to moving the 8 towards a pocket, defensive because the break usually leaves a cluster somewhere and will be an advantage who knows both how and when to break out clusters. It doesn't leave your opponent with a wide open rack. The balls can roughly be manipulated as well. Breaking deeper on a ball in a second ball break leaving more balls clustered to one side of the table and the 8 moving in the right direction. Breaking shallower on the 2nd ball, moving the 8 less more giving a more even spread and 1 or 2 clusters, and Breaking near the middle of the 2nd ball leaving a favorable spread with 1 cluster that an experienced player can get to, but a less experienced will have trouble with (when to break it how, how to get in position break it out, where to break it out to in order to complete your run, and where you may want to play safe to attempt to get ball in hand on the cluster. Namely, it will make running the rack for my opponent more difficult and give me time to make up any spot that I'm giving. Once I get ahead in the match, I like you, break from the middle of the table and play more offensively by spreading the rack wide open. If I make a ball, will usually be able to run out in about 1.4 innings (including the break). I play in a league where I not only have to spot most players games, but also balls. So some of my matches, I may have to spot a game or two against other run out players, or I have to spot 4 games and 3 balls against less experienced players in a 7-3 race. So clusters and knowledge, or making the 8 on the break can be helpful. One month years ago, I made the 8 on the break 8 times at the Billiards Expo (bar tables) and 14 more times on 9 footers. The most in a row, on Bar tables while gambling, 3. Straight (it mentally breaks an opponent) So helpful for certain circumstances. Sucks royally if you scratch against a good player though.

This one is a classic! So many great and important tips in just one video. Thanks Brian! 😀

table looks good on video and most of all the easy explanation Thanks for it and lighting looks great !!! Victor 💪

My favorite shots are shooting my object ball and bring the cue ball around the table and the draw shot.

I am a big fan of doing the bank to no pocket, draw shot and hit soft enough that the object ball stops just before hitting the foot rail a second time. Attempting to draw cue ball back 1/2 table.

Experience talkin'!!! Educational stuffs ... and the vid from 10yrs ago -- well it was dead on too!!! Without ---> PRACTICE <--- very few shots will be high percentage success'!!! You have to "find" yer game! And so so much info is available right here on this channel --- FREE!!! Love it Bryan! Be Safe

Brian, I didn't see a link on what the ball is that shows where you hit it? Can you give me the product name? Thanks Brian, love your instruction! Clear, concise, and excellent video quality! Dave, Boise, Idaho

Nice, I saw the top left as the best option. I’m improving my pool IQ 😄

Great draw Brian. Level cue is a must!

Just think about trying to put the most revolutions on the ball with the least effort
