Thank you for sharing the how to’s in billiards. I am 73 and I have been shooting pool since I was 19. I was league player for about 15 years, and I have learned a lot watching your instructions. When you speak, I listen 👍🏾😊
About the only reason I am still a higher ranked APA player at 66 yeas old, is because I was fortunate to learn this lesson about 50 years ago. I am amazed at few of the players I know will even try. I sometimes think Brian is reading my minds....... A great reminder
Once again a wealth of good info. You’re the best Bryan. Trying to revive my game after a 40 year layoff has been challenging but also fun. Age 62 now have never played leagues but about to start this fall. I figured it’s a great way to improve,and learn,playing better players.
Ok, I'm guilty of not practicing shooting with the cue ball on the rail or practicing my lag, but I do believe practicing the break is one of the most important shots out there. For me it has shown me that I was very inconsistent in where I was hitting the rack. I tend to hit the balls hard and I do leave some pretty wide open tables so if I don't get a ball down on the break then I am at a major disadvantage. Thanks for the videos and advice.
Thanks for some reminders of some basic things that are very handy for someone who has been away from the game for CD some time. I learn visually so special thanks for the photo example of the dreaded behind the back shot. Take Care.
I'm happy to hear you recommend off-hand practice. I decided years ago after watching pros switch hands on occasion that it would be a good tool to have. In every practice session, I run out one full rack of balls left-handed, just as I would if I were playing straight pool. The last few balls I try to play down to a break ball. That's all I do, but I do it every time I practice, so the skill develops over time. As a bonus, switching hands in the middle of a rack and shooting a ball in and getting position with one's opposite hand has a certain intimidation factor to it. However, I need to practice the bridge with the same regularity. Good video, as usual.
Great tips Bryan. I wish the pros would use the bridge more, they seem to avoid it like the plague. I saw K. Tkatch trying to come back in a match with Chris Mellon stretch out so far for a shot that her bridge hand was actually behind the joint! She missed of course and lost the match. I was almost yelling at the TV 'just use the bridge'!! I don't practice with it much but will start now, as I use it a lot being a few inches under six feet tall. Thanks for the tips!
Hey Bryan ! The off hand shot in the zone with or without draw , I am going to practice for sure... As far as the break I know that needs to be worked on , or more reps most definitely ! And great pointer on the tight to the rail shot .. shorten grip and less follow through ...that I will put in my back pocket... Thanks Bryan
I totally agree with practicing with your off-hand. I had a friend that always wanted to go play pool with me, but he was a novice and I was playing in tournaments. So to level the playing field I told him I would ONLY play left-handed (my off-hand). The first couple weeks he got to brag how he was being me consistently, but around week three my left-handed shooting became much more natural. One very funny result that happed was how SUCCESSFUL I am lefthanded now. I think what happens is that I learned to put us much concentration on my body mechanics for shooting left-handed that it takes me out of my head and I don't t fall into the trap of thinking about the next shot after the shot I'm on.
Thanks Bryan. Lags are something I have really only practiced a few times just before my match. Since I practice on an 8' table and play matches on a 7' table, I will have to make some adjustments. The same holds true with breaking. I get completely different results between the practice and match tables. Obviously, I need to spend a little more time at the pool hall. One good thing about the 7' tables is that I rarely need to use a bridge.
Excellent tips! Sp funny I used to be the guy who shoots behind back on that "left hand situation". For this on it wont happen. Your opinnion was that strong 😂
Playing left handed is definately a very useful 'tool' and I often play easy shots all around the table left handed just to get more comfortable with that... But not only at the table - I think in general it is kinda helpful to train your 'weak hand coordination' to establish a better feeling for doing things 'wrong sided', it trains your bodyconsciosness (if that's a word at all) and your mind will be better in "switching" sides. For example - try brushing your teeth with the wrong hand tonight. If you've never done that before I bet you'll be incredibly counfused
Hey Bryan. Thought you might like to know that i've been playing on and off for 50 years or so. Recently got into playing again. Just got the Big Beula break cue on your recommendation. Wow! I didn't even know there was such a thing. Now i make balls on my break!
Practicing a lag does 3 things. It teaches speed control, it teaches what a straight stroke feels like, and it teaches finding proper ball center. For anyone just beginning and trying to choose a drill to start with, practicing a lag is it. No object ball to worry about, no follow/draw/english, and no concern about a leave. Every other shot will become much easier to learn and improve on if you are starting with good stroke, speed control, and accurrate cue ball contact.
Thanks for the video. I seldomly practice the break - have to improve this. I'm 5'8 and have a 9' table. I regularly practice my off-hand and using the mechanical bridge.
One possible explanation for why the hardest tip wins more often in the lag is that, on a perfectly straight shot with absolutely no spin, a hard tip gives a more accurate impact because a smaller portion of the tip is mating to the ball and the tip won't amplify any accidental English.
Great video, all useful info and no fluff. I just started practicing breaks, sadly I never did that due to boredom lol. Need to practice lags, I currently win almost every one but only due to other players being a foot or so short or long. I have always practiced rail shots. I have been able to run racks with a bridge from the early 90s and love them. I can't see why people hate them, they're the most steady form of a bridge, much steadier than your hand. I used to offer as a spot that I would use the bridge on every shot back in my hustling days. As for the left handed shots, I totally suck at those. I was ambidextrous as a kid and could throw a curve ball from either side. I broke both bones in my left forearm at 11, stayed in a cast for a year, pins in both bones, and after that I can't even use a fork left handed, coordination is just gone. You inspired me so I'm going to start a left handed day about twice a month where every shot is lefty, gonna force it to work lol.
I can shoot with my off hand! Im a lefty and my locasi never lets me down. I can make any shot and i only owe myself for pushing as hard as i did. Your videos help me know that its simple to be prepared. Its not simple to play the best but it is simple to be prepared for opportunity.
You can do it! Treat your off hand like it's a new player. Starting with ez shots and increasing distance and cut angles. Let me know how you make out. Thanks for watching and please subscribe.
Great video, will bookmark to remind me of some of the practice, esp. my left handed shots. You were talking about me on that lean over shot where I should have used the bridge. Messed up my ERO, though still won. Thanks, subscribed.
All are good practices. Try to run a rack with the off hand is a really good practice. Also trying to run a rack with mechanical bridge. Another one that I find helpful is shooting with your eyes closed. It really forced myself to concentrate only on my stroke while pulling the trigger.
Using the head ball only, I put a piece of split foam pipe insulation on the back rail (just to not damage the rail) and put a piece of masking tape on the insulation in the line of my break. I practice that technique which allows me more time to practice my break without continuously have to rack a full set of balls. Of course later I go to a full rack. It saves me a lot of time and feel I have a more productive practice. Always good channel, what is your thought?
The lag? As a righty, I definitely try to lag from the left side. Right side is kind of cramped. Good tip. I grew up playing straight pool in the 70's. You use a bridge in straight pool more than 8 or 9 ball. I'm perfectly comfortable using a bridge as a result. I've never tried to learn to shoot off handed. Too clumbsy for me. The break? Like a lot of guys, it was line up and boom! Hope for the best. After watching countless hours of pool during the shutdown, I've changed that strategy. Today I use more of a cut break with emphasis on keeping the cue ball in the center of the table. As I'm sure you know, you have a much better chance of continuing to shoot after the break with the cue ball center table.
I've been drilling pandemic shots for awhile now. It gets tedious so I came up with a way to keep score and make a game of it. I give myself 3 attempts if I'm below 100 (counting by 10s) 2 attempts if I'm below 200, and 1 attempt above 200, then I try to get my score up to 400 before I consider the drill over. It keeps it interesting, and lets me know where I'm at with the shot. I'll add these shots to the regimen now.
Cool Bryan. I'm short and now i know how important it is to practice left hand shots. All points are extremely helpful. Due to the covid-19 I haven't been able to play. Can you think of any tips for those of us stuck in the house. Maybe some physical and mental exercises. Tks stay well. QA
I do not know the diamond system....do you have a video that explains the complete why of figuring out them. Or do you sell a good strong video on them....thanks
I have an online course coming out in just a couple days the teachers for different diamond systems- if you email me at fxbilliards@gmail.com I will send you a discount code. . Put the words NWQ pool in the subject line.
GREAT Video! You were talking to me when it came to cue ball against the rail. I also have to stop doing those across the back down the rail shots cause no longer fit the sexy girl image!
I'm shocked how few people use a bridge. Especially the higher level players. I shake my head everytime I see a high level player stretching out of their reach, simply because they refuse to use a bridge. Imagine a Shaw or SVB refusing to use a bridge. Ridiculous.
My friend who is in the top 5 in our whole APA league, pulls out the bridge without any reservations. Laughs at players who think they are too cool to use it. Play within the rules and play to win.
So - Jump shots. I have a question I haven't really seen or read anyone talk about. I have an 8' table - 1" slate with Simonis 860 cloth. Table is about 2 months old... Every Friday the neighbors and I shoot pool on Friday nights. Last night, one of my neighbors goes for a jump shot and gouges the table hard enough to pull thread up out of the cloth. I got kind of upset... and he says "You can't do a jump shot without hitting the table". Seems to me that Simonis is incredibly durable... and he clearly hit the table a little too hard. Thoughts?
Sounds like he might have done a "scoop shot" where you this below the cue ball. This is NOT a legitimate pool shot even though guys in bars don't know any better. There is a reason the shot is not a legal shot (it rips cloth.) I have done over 200 jumps on my table in the last month or so. I have don't THOUSANDS in my lifetime. Never once, have I ever moved even a thread on anyone's cloth. I would give this guy two choices. Pay to recover my table, or never play here again. BTW not only have I never ripped a cloth with a legit jump shot, but I have never seen anyone in 30 years, rip a cloth with a legitimate jump shot.
Hard to explain, but something about the harder tip allows you to judge the speed better. It's a tip I got from a pro many years ago but I don't think a ton of people know about it. Thanks for watching.
Concerning the extension and APA rules, I think that once you start playing your match, you are not allowed to assemble or disassemble any of the equipment that you use during that match. Im not sure but I think those portable bridges that you can pop onto the end of your stick may fall into that category too.
I never heard that rule but it might just be the case. I do know that you can not break down your cue to make a shot or to jump a ball. That seems to fall into the same category. But if you would need the extension "enough" you could just keep it on your cue from the start.
I will be practicing my left handed shots..even though I'm very good and comfortable using a bridge. Allison Fisher taught me her technique using a bridge, with a bent elbow. So accurate! I make bridge shots 99% of the time and people are amazed. I've seen men in pool league doing the behind-the-back shots and some people will laugh..they miss the shot 90% of the time. It's just a stupid move.
My team captain gets upset when I shoot off hand instead of using the bridge. But using the bridge, especially on those rail shots, is sometimes awkward. I’d much rather shoot right handed than use the bridge…..
I cant do this for shit, but here’s a challenge; run a nine ball rack where EVRY shot uses the bridge. No exceptions; even the break. I tried 8 ball that way, sucked a lot, but learned a lot.
People learn not to leave me on rail.. I make the shot. The lady smacks of my terrier with a mud pack, sorry. Hint: Finger tips at table edge. Snooker style thumb. (not for everybody)
Using that classic Iverson video was a great idea!!!!

I love how practical and down to earth all your videos are 👍
I just started APA 9 ball. I won both my lag. They have me as a 3. I beat a 2 and a 5. Playing 9 ball has helped me with safety shots.
That will happen keep playing brother
I'm in my second session of APA 9 ball. I went from a 3 to a 5 in my first session....probably because I was 10-0 before I lost a match lol.
Thanks for watching - let me know if you have practiced these in the past or plan on practicing them more.
Yes. The break needs help as well as the rail shot. I’m on it ! Thanks
Ok, I'm guilty of not practicing shooting with the cue ball on the rail or practicing my lag, but I do believe practicing the break is one of the most important shots out there.

I do practice breaks and I think my problem is not following through and I don't have a light Breaking Cue
Thanks so much Bryan for your normal thorough breakdown!
Thanks for some reminders of some basic things that are very handy for someone who has been away from the game for CD some time. I learn visually so special thanks for the photo example of the dreaded behind the back shot. Take Care.
I'm definitely short and I most certainly practice playing left handed because of it. It really does come in handy.

Thanks for sharing your tips on the lag. Very useful.
Liked the video, I approach videos with an open mind, I learned today. Thanks for the opportunity to learn.
Brian- another great video. Love all your points. These will help my game. Keep up great videos. Pete
Watched a good deal of pool tips, lessons, etc. You my man, are extremely helpful.

@@FXBilliards Thank you. This is exactly the information I was looking for.
Brian, why use the break cue for lags? Most people have way more understanding of how hard to hit the ball to get it to go the distance.
Hard to explain, but something about the harder tip allows you to judge the speed better. It's a tip I got from a pro many years ago but I don't think a ton of people know about it. Thanks for watching.
putting a ball on the spot and the cue ball against the rail at every diamond/pocket on the table is good for practicing rail shots
I like that drill - thanks for sharing and thanks for watching
Concerning the extension and APA rules, I think that once you start playing your match, you are not allowed to assemble or disassemble any of the equipment that you use during that match. Im not sure but I think those portable bridges that you can pop onto the end of your stick may fall into that category too.
I never heard that rule but it might just be the case. I do know that you can not break down your cue to make a shot or to jump a ball. That seems to fall into the same category. But if you would need the extension "enough" you could just keep it on your cue from the start.
Where I am from, they call the behind the back shot, the 'Pepsi-Cola shot' because years and years ago there was a TV commercial featuring it.
Need bridge practice as I shoot both hands all the time on 8'. The 9 footer still gets some shots out of reach for either hand.
I will be practicing my left handed shots..even though I'm very good and comfortable using a bridge. Allison Fisher taught me her technique using a bridge, with a bent elbow. So accurate! I make bridge shots 99% of the time and people are amazed. I've seen men in pool league doing the behind-the-back shots and some people will laugh..they miss the shot 90% of the time. It's just a stupid move.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your comments Veronica.
@@FXBilliards ..I'm always looking to improve my game. Your videos help me do that! 😊
I’m glad to have you here.

I cant do this for shit, but here’s a challenge; run a nine ball rack where EVRY shot uses the bridge. No exceptions; even the break. I tried 8 ball that way, sucked a lot, but learned a lot.
Uh huh. I have shot behind my back! Hahaha. I will practice left handed!
Practice jump shots. And bank shots. Guilty
Been practicing everything but lag
I have more than 5 shots I don't practice enough 😂🙃
What happens if you are left ✍🏿 handed
Adrian, did you really ask me that? Just do the opposite. Thanks for watching. And thanks for subscribing.
I’ll just stick to practicing bank shots
Mechanical bridge = I call it the “stupid stick” ! Makes me look stupid.
I practice all 5 of these shots and i Still suck!
People learn not to leave me on rail.. I make the shot. The lady smacks of my terrier with a mud pack, sorry. Hint: Finger tips at table edge. Snooker style thumb. (not for everybody)
I Agree that behind the back shots do look pretty stupid.
Lol that intro is cringe
