@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Sadly, not much practice, every pool hall where I live is closed due to the virus. But tomorrow I’ll use a friend’s table to practice. I do have an idea for your series.

If you were initially standing directly behind the line, it'll pass through your groin area. So how do you then place the cue on that line and on your right leg at the same time. That is without moving your right leg slightly to the left...which will in my case also slightly move my eye position to the left.

Thank you for these videos! I am 60 years old and am just learning to play. You have already taken me from “absolutely terrible” to “only bad”. I am determined to get to a consistent, respectable level and am certain your instruction will bring success.
"Waiting for a bus" is one of better advises I've heard playing pool. It's very useful for alignment and, especially, as part as pre shot routine. Thanks a lot, Niels!

I have been playing pool for 11 years, and now I can learn from one of the best players in history, it is a luxury and an honor. I subscribe and I will watch your videos. ;) Thanks Niels. Greetings from Spain.
Even though I've playing off and on for a number of years now, I've decided it's time to get back into it full time... Back then there was no RUclips so you had to learn by watching any games that came on TV, or by watching others in game rooms and bars.. Thanks to the time you put into making your videos I can always learn something new or improve on what I already know..

Hi Antonio!! Thanks for your message 😃 Yup, different times now. I remember they had a book with drills at my local pool room when I started playing. I took it home and wrote down all the exercises on paper. That was the way back then 😉💪
Wow! Pas na 11 maanden meerdere keren per week poolen kom ik achter het bestaan van dit kanaal. Ik wil heel graag beter worden, maar ik doe allerlei basisdingen fout. Ik heb de afgelopen week veel filmpjes bekeken en ik weet zeker dat deze tips me enorm gaan helpen! Dank je wel, Niels. Ik vind het ontzettend tof en waardevol dat je dit doet. En inderdaad wat meerdere mensen zeggen: tips van een topspeler, wat een cadeau is dit! Zo tof dat je je kennis wilt delen, wat een fijne eigenschap. Het is zoveel werk om deze filmpjes te maken. Superwaardevolle tips, hele duidelijke uitleg, mooi gedaan met beelden en plaatjes. En echt heel erg leuk en met veel humor gedaan! Thanks so much! 🙏
Nice job Neils! As an instructor myself (I can't play like you though!) I know how hard it can be to convey information accurately and in an engaging manner. Loved the previous videos and you did a great job on this one, looking forward to more. We all appreciate you taking the time to do them!

@@aliyushuaibu689 Hopefully Neils will reply to this. In my experience and teaching and observing many top players, there are 3 ways to stand behind the ball at address, and I see #1 and #2 the most often. 1 - As Neils said, stand with back leg (right for right handers), grip hand, and head behind the shot line. To get your head on the line, you need to lean over your back leg by unweighting somewhat and just shifting your upper body over 6 - 8 inches. I can't see in this video if Neils does this, would have to watch some other videos and wait for camera angle to be correct. I also show this on one of my instructional videos on alignment, it's very easy to see this with mysef and many of the top players 2 - As above, but instead of standing square to the shot some players stand at more of a 30 to 45 degree angle, still with back leg and grip hand on shot line. By standing at an angle, they can sort of lean back into their back leg a bit more and their head is more naturally placed on the shot line without having to lean over. Players that do this generally do not step forward with their rear leg but are already in place distance-wise and just step forward with their front foot while keeping head on the shot line on the way down 3 - I do see some top players stand square as you mention, but in this case normally the back leg and grip hand are not on the shot line but slightly to the right and head/chest/groin are on the shot line. Then as they move into the shot line, they keep their head on the shot line and the back foot slides under them (either on the first step or after they plant their front foot). I see this much less often. I see these alignment issues in a lot of my students, even some decent players but especially beginners. It's not natural to stand with a lean or at an angle but most top players do it. I rarely if ever see a top player that does not have their head, eyes, chin, etc. directly over the perceived shot line and keeps their head and eyes on that shot line the entire way down into the shot. Amateurs I see them sometimes weave around as their weight moves into the shot, also no good. Jerry Briesath, a great instructor, called this chin lock - keep your chin on the shot line and moving down into the shot. One analogy I use with students is shooting a gun - if you are aiming at a target, you aren't going to aim the gun and have your eyes to the side, you need to be directly behing the line you are aiming down to see it properly. So same thing in pool, you should not be looking at the object ball contact point from the side but instead from the perspective of the line you intend to shot down. Sorry for long post, hope this helps clarify...
I have to say the one thing that I can say that COVID has brought me is the ability to work on my game, virtual training and tournaments have helped with my confidence and given me the opportunity to work on my game. 1 year ago my game was bad at best, but tha is to lessons and practice time, its improved. I never understood stepping sideways into a shot until people told me what I was doing and then told me how to correct it!
This basic series is the best i have ever learnt. Your presentation skills are just perfect. My game was dramatically improved after i realized my dominant eye after your video. A big thanks champ
Good pragmatic reasoning around pros and cons of different “styles”, taking into account individual differences. I like this approach and not just prescribing “do this and do that”. Keep it up!
I have watched almost all of the instructional pool vids and this is the most concise one I have ever seen. Thanks to the terminator ( using my Arnie voice, haha ) for your great work. A fantastic refresher for all of us!!
Niels, you are makeing the history of pool with this channel!!! I don't understand why you haven't more subsribers!!! Thanks for share same passion. Ciao ciao!
If you were initially standing directly behind the line, it'll pass through your groin area. So how do you then place the cue on that line and on your right leg at the same time. That is without moving your right leg slightly to the left...which will in my case also slightly move my eye position to the left.
you should consolidate some of these basics videos into a DVD series. You would sell a ton of them if it was an affordable amount.. for example $50 for a couple DVD's covering basic stance, bridge, stroke, aiming, cue ball control, basic pattern play, a few drills, etc. If you ever do that, I will be your first customer! you are an exceptional teacher
Great topic Niels. For me at 5’9” tall, I like to bend both knees. On long shots for instance, this helps me get my chin down closer to the cue stick for better sight alignment.

Please keep doing these. I love these videos. I was just telling a buddy of mine the other day who I help out that my instructor always told me to go back to the basics if I'm ever starting to play bad or feel like I'm getting into a rut. This is great stuff.
Niels, Thank you so much for this video. I was missing quite a few shots because of my stance. The one thing in your video that helped the most- putting my hand on my leg for alignment. Made all the difference. Thank you again
On the topic of dominant eye, for me as a right hander, I had corrective eye surgery and had the ophthalmologist give me close up vision within 8’ for my right eye and distance vision for my left. This has allowed me to once again compete in my pool game more consistently.
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Niels, what is your opinion on pocket difficulty for your home practice table? I lucked out on mine (I think) as I didn’t give it much thought when I ordered my Olhausen table. I knew it had tighter pockets but was somewhat surprised with the degree of difficulty. With 1 3/4” shelf depths and only 4 5/8” mouths/4 1/4” throats, I’ve really had to stroke more purely and focus on my mechanics. I’ve also practiced on a diamond tables with even tighter 4 1/2” mouths and really was shocked in the degree of difficulty even over mine. Im curious what pros like yourself prefer??? Thanks!
Of course , pool is my main hobby so no matter how the world is changing because of the pandemia i still try to find ways to practice and enjoy the game. Can't wait to see you win another title when things come back to normal ! Have a nice one !
Thank you Niels for taking time out to post informative how to videos. I have been applying to my game and have noticed a difference and am more consistent. I will continue watching your videos eager to learn and make my pool game the best it can be. Thank you again sir and keep up good work and pool play best luck and wishes to you!
Great video! I take pride in my fundamentals. Lose grip... Step into my shot... Stick under my chin... Head down... I pause before I bring my stick forward... I follow thru with my shot. When I do this... I shoot so much better. Thank you for the tip!
Thank you very much! Your tutorial helps me a lot for improving my posture and my play style. And I think you should open an English teaching class, your voice and pronounce is so perfect.
Back to the basics is for me. For now all I want to do is feel comfortable at the table. Once I do that and am able to hit where I am aiming without spin then my stroke will come back. BRAVO Niels!
I can’t express how grateful I am for these videos! You’re a true champion, but also- a rare thing- an excellent teacher! You’re my go to guy for pool training videos 🙏❤️
Your channel is one of only a couple that I'll hit the thumbs up icon first thing because I know it's going to be good. Been playing APA for ten years and still go back to the basics occasionally. Especially if a pro is willing to give insight.
Thanks buddy!! That's just awesome to hear. Happy you like my channel and that the tips and videos are helping you out and motivating you to keep up your practice! Greetz, 😎 The TERMINATOR 😎
Happy to help pare! Enjoy and feel free to check out my serie "Back to the Basics" right here: ruclips.net/p/PLzjzZn8Miek1gDQaNlkuB32AHRdwGZwJw There's a lot of good tips and info!! 👌🙂
Really like the practical approach you have to pool coaching! More videos breaking down the fundamentals, please. I love it. And just because you asked for our opinions about the locked leg or the bent leg: I go through periods where I prefer one or the other. I think the potential for unwanted, unconscious movement is higher with a bent leg than a locked leg. When I'm in flow I naturally gravitate towards the bent leg stance.
I'll join the others in saying just how amazing it is to have a pool lesson from a world class player! :) I think it'll take easily 1-3 yrs for someone who starts the journey to get a true, accurate, consistent, and reliable stroke. It's far more intricate and challenging than it seems at first. Every one of these points has even more details you'll discover for yourself as you progress along your journey to a good stroke. There are minor variations and adjustments you'll make for your own body type depending on height, relative body proportions, weight etc. How do you know when you've mastered the process? Simple: you think about what to do and it happens automatically. Effortlessly! Till then your job is to train your vision and mechanical systems with strong guidance till everything gets programmed into your subconscious. Once the muscle memory is in place, you'll stop thinking and start shooting! Every once in a while something will go awry. At that point you'll go back to your basics once again, double check everything and make necessary adjustments and corrections and continue. As they say, it's a journey and not a destination. The more you enjoy the journey the less you'll worry about the destination and even practice routines and drills will become more satisfying and rewarding than games themselves.
Wow. An AMAZING lesson. Your lessons are so clearly presented. I was a little worried I would not be able to become a great player because I too have a "lazy eye", only mine is the right one so I only really use my left eye. I just assumed since I am right handed that I was suppose to use my right eye to look straight down the cue stick line. It was great to hear you say I can use my LEFT eye. Before watching your lesson, I was getting a lot of neck pain as I dropped my chin low to the cue and thought it was because I was using the wrong eye. Now I guess the problem was my stance, so I think this lesson will help. Looking forward to more of your lessons.
These instructional videos from The Terminator are awesome if you really want to improve your game. My shots are coming together by just staying down on the shot with a smooth straight stroke.
Bending my knees has helped out tremendously. I feel like I'm centered more and it's a lot more comfortable than the snooker stance and feels more natrual. I've watched a lot of videos and its one of the most helpful
Hey Niels, thanks for the tips! To answer your question on leg stance, I was taught to bend both knees slightly...kind of like I am straddling a barstool, with my legs about shoulder width apart. Over the years, I have found this helps me be a bit more consistent. Thanks again for making this series!
Great video in the early years I kept both legs bent started watching a lot of Snooker coaching and went to locking my back leg similar to Jason’s stance it did give me more stability but I will say that it’s hard on the back and hip . I would hope that all the people that are trying to learn from this video would spend the next three weeks working on each thing you discuss in this series.
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen I've been think about your question! I would love to see something on 2 rail and 3 rail positioning. Either it be drills that you do or thought processes etc. No pressure just a thought 😀
Hmm have you seen my video about position mistakes? And the ball in hand video? Those cover a lot of position routes 👍🏼👍🏼 ruclips.net/video/msz0FyqFsW8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/0AV7YwnmSZM/видео.html
My problem was/is that I twist the cue on follow through. I found that my wrist wasn’t firm. I started marking the top of my cue with a sticker and focused on making sure on my follow through that the sticker was still up and in line. I also learned about the eye alignment you mention. My cue now rubs the right side of my chin making it inline with my slightly more dominant side. Lastly, when aiming I use a combination of ghost ball and half ball (whatever that other aiming system is...) and this has improved my game. Thank you Sir for doing these videos.
So relative to your comment on table height, I also see that shorter players are able to lock out that back leg more than taller players. I’ve always thought that shorty players had a natural advantage as a result if this. Great tip in bending the knees, it certainly helps taller players get down over that cue stick better. Also recommend a good stretching routine. It’s also improved my ability to aligned my body comfortably. Super great video.... touches on all the key points with no BS.
Balance in the shooter's stance is essential, as you've stated. And I believe the corollary of being comfortable is almost equally as important, and it becomes very significant in those longer matches. Plus, if one is comfortable in their stance, then it is far less likely that one will "pop up" at the finish of the stroke, which is a bad habit of many beginners, and which should be avoided at all costs. I have only one eye, the right. Luckily, I'm a right handed player, so I don't feel it has bothered me or hindered my ball pocketing abilities. But, the point is, that the dominant eye should be over the line of the shot, as you have correctly recommended. As a former instructor and competitive player, I would like to say that both your advice and teaching methods are excellent. I would have loved to have had the chance to have played you some 9 ball. And I wish I had had someone like you to teach me in my early days of playing, I could have avoided some bad habits that took years to break. Lessons were often hard to come by in the past. When I started playing, in 1958, the only way one got schooled was usually through losing all of one's money to a superior player. Times have sure changed, and today's students are very lucky, indeed, to have such fine instructors as Niels to help guide them along. I'd like to add one more bit of advice for the novice, if I may. That is, to always look to play the best players you can find, and who will give you the opportunity to play with them; as many of them won't. If needed, there's lots of ways to match up, and for handicapping the better player. If you do play the better players quite often, you'll find your game will improve dramatically faster than it otherwise might; that is, if your ego can handle the constant defeats. But, It's well worth it to your game in the long run, even if it might cost you a little cash, occasionally. 😊
Excellent comment!! I totally agree! Playing better players is by far the way to go forward. Match up, ask for a bit of handicap and invest in your game. The better player will give their best that way and you get to see all the small details live in front of you to absorb! I also agree with how times have changed. I had to invest 200euro in a video recorder that played NTSC videos from the States. This cost me two weeks of morning news payer delivering and then we had to buy the accu stats and wait two weeks for them and invest another 120usd or so for 5 tapes. And watch them over and over. Now it's youtube 24hr sessions lessons 😀😀 Therefore you see the learning curve going faster and faster. The youngsters knock of 8 years or so of learning speed by the information that's out there now. My generation broke through on the scene with 24-26years of age. Now it's 16-18!
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Thanks, Niels. I think that we are going to see the level of play in the current younger generation surpassing that of the last generation or two. And, being blessed with having the better physical attributes of youth, they are able to capitalize on those youthful qualities by blending it with the superior knowledge and instruction that's been made available to them today. I think we're going to see a rise in the level of play in the next ten or twenty years, such as we haven't witnessed before. It makes me wonder, just how many Niels, or 'Efrens' are out there, right now, just getting ready to burst onto the scene? Thanks for the response and the the compliment, and especially for your contributions to the pool world. I look forward to viewing more of your excellent videos. Cheers!
Thanks Niel's, enjoying the content. I'm 6'1" and went to a modified snooker stance (both knees bent). It helped with my alignment and neck pain. I still use the traditional stance when breaking which helps me generate power. One item not mentioned, is how low your upper body and chin should be. I know this varies and there's no right answer.
I have a lazy left eye as well. I wear glasses and I am thinking of getting billiard glasses or trying contacts. Your videos are so valuable sir, thank you so much.
I was tought to step into the shot exactly like you described it. But with the difference to keep my right leg (right handed, in the shotline) straight, wihle bending the left leg. So it is one straight and one bend leg :)!
Truly appreciate these basics. Been playing many years on & off and now trying to get more serious. My stance & grip are getting in my way. I will work on your tips. Look out for me at the Opens! LOL Thanks again
Thanks for the instruction, this is really helpful. I have played pool since I was 5 years old, but don't even care about those basic steps, maybe for 12 years, hope I can improve my playing quality soon after watching your video
Another great video! Thanks for clarifying for the eye sight stuff. My issue is my dominant eye is blurry because of a scare. I guess I have learned to compensate. Thanks again Neils Cheers
You are amazing for taking the time to help other players. I send your page links to people I know who need work in specific areas, everyone subscribes. Great format, particularly when you show where to hit on the ball. I've watched many videos and yours are of the best I've seen. Thank you for being confident enough to share your knowledge.
Nice to see how you do it seems like best practice. Some of the newer pool videos they seem like they stand beside the shot instead of in front of the shot directly I had experimented with both. On the aiming line I like to visualize exactly to a pinpoint where the line comes out of the object ball. Then the part of the cue ball that will be contacting object ball is the exact opposite spot. I like to feel like I stand behind that line where they're both aligned both the contact points. I feel like this is a little more precise than just using a ghost ball. But I also like to look at the overlap as I get down I try to maintain those two contact points on the shot line until I'm down. then I will do a check does it look right . quick check ball overlap does it feel right does it look right. and obviously before you get down and during the shot you need to be feeling the speed that you need to get position and never lose sight of that otherwise you won't get position. Back and forth eyes at object ball last and fire. I'm also slightly conflicted because I've shot a lot of different ways in 20 years. Short bridge Long bridge I can really shoot both pretty well with both. The short bridge enables you to deliver the cue more accurately to the cue ball but you're closer to the shot and it's not as obvious if you're off The Shot line. With a longer bridge little harder to deliver perfect accuracy on the cue ball but it kind of forces your body to go through the shot a little smoother. I will vary some from shot to shot. longer bridge has more power and you don't need to swing as far so your mechanics don't break down as easy. I see some players that will just use a huge 14 to 18-in bridge on every single shot I feel like this is difficult to control the finesse short shots. Or especially Mass a type shots. Thanks for the tips this channel is definitely turning into one of my favorite channels.
Thanks so much! I'm a taller, left eye dominant player. I bend both legs a little bit and have my left eye over the cue (a lot Jayson, but not as pronounced). I know this is only chapter 1, but wondering if an upcoming chapter will focus more on grip with specific info on which fingers are touching the cue during different shots, if there's different grips for different shots, and what happens when the grip closes on your final stroke. Thank you again! It's so amazing to get tips like this from a world champion!
Thanks! Unfortunately no other ones about grip. I cover the basics in this video. Try not to overthink it too much. Not tigbt is the key. Relaxed grip so you can have feel 💪🏼👍🏼😄 good luck!!!

So same thing in pool, you should not be looking at the object ball contact point from the side but instead from the perspective of the line you intend to shot down.
Sorry for long post, hope this helps clarify...
I have to say the one thing that I can say that COVID has brought me is the ability to work on my game, virtual training and tournaments have helped with my confidence and given me the opportunity to work on my game. 1 year ago my game was bad at best, but tha is to lessons and practice time, its improved. I never understood stepping sideways into a shot until people told me what I was doing and then told me how to correct it!
Good!! Yes sideways is tricky and get you totally out of line
Niels, please deep your enthusiasm, it rubs off on us. keep it up
Will do! Tnx!!😀
Watching from Uganda
This video has improved my game
Great!! Keep it up 💪🏼👍🏼
This basic series is the best i have ever learnt. Your presentation skills are just perfect. My game was dramatically improved after i realized my dominant eye after your video. A big thanks champ
Good pragmatic reasoning around pros and cons of different “styles”, taking into account individual differences. I like this approach and not just prescribing “do this and do that”. Keep it up!
😄😄🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless him..it shows how much he cares not only about the game but for mankind
Cheers Ronnie 👍🏼🙏🏻
O'boy,,, that bus stop analogy.
Much obliged Sir for your time & effort.
Have used your stance/stroke as a guideline for years... this just helps solidify it. Thanks!!
Excellent! 😄👍🏼💪🏼
I just keep watching your videos over and over! Great stuff Sir. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you Jason! 🙏😍
I love this guy, the most informative instructions yet
Thanks William! 🙏🏻💪🏼👍🏼😄
I have watched almost all of the instructional pool vids and this is the most concise one I have ever seen. Thanks to the terminator ( using my Arnie voice, haha ) for your great work. A fantastic refresher for all of us!!
You’ll be back! 😂👍🏼
Niels, you are makeing the history of pool with this channel!!! I don't understand why you haven't more subsribers!!!
Thanks for share same passion.
Ciao ciao!
Thanks Gennaro! Working on it 😄👍🏼💪🏼 please share and subscribe that helps
A lot. And if you have more video ideas let me know. Thanks!
Thank you my friend for taking time to make videos for us who want to improve in billiards 🎱
You got it! Stay tuned, another one tomorrow 😄😄
Thank you Niels, today I'm gonna start practicing my skills from level 0 and this 'Back to the basics' videos are a treasure! 11:57
If you were initially standing directly behind the line, it'll pass through your groin area. So how do you then place the cue on that line and on your right leg at the same time. That is without moving your right leg slightly to the left...which will in my case also slightly move my eye position to the left.
@@aliyushuaibu689your eye position is repositioned over the shooting line when you bend over the ball.
At my 54 im going to be a pro,you will see it,thank for everything you do for us,THANK YOU
You got it Jose! Good luck! And remember, the balls don’t know how old you are 💪🏼🔥😄
very wise words
Thanks for doing this! Amazing to see a world champion make a series like this.
Good to hear you find the video useful! Tnx! 😀👍 Sharing is much appreciated 🙏
I have always been a big fan of your game. Now I'm a bigger fan of you as a person. Thank you for giving back to the game!! Well done!!
Thanks Kevin! Enjoy it 👍🏼👍🏼😄and stay tuned for more 🔥💪🏼😄
you should consolidate some of these basics videos into a DVD series. You would sell a ton of them if it was an affordable amount.. for example $50 for a couple DVD's covering basic stance, bridge, stroke, aiming, cue ball control, basic pattern play, a few drills, etc. If you ever do that, I will be your first customer! you are an exceptional teacher
Thanks Thad 🙏🏻😄👍🏼🔥
Amazing tutorial. Thanks Niels this will be a game changer for me
great video. the best I've seen so far on the stance
You're the best, Niels. Your tips and insights have helped me a lot in improving my game.
Thank you!! Great to hear! Table in the house?
Great topic Niels. For me at 5’9” tall, I like to bend both knees. On long shots for instance, this helps me get my chin down closer to the cue stick for better sight alignment.
Good point Ron! I agree. It helps a more balanced bent and less stress on the back
If you were initially standing directly behind the line, it'll pass through your groin area. So how do you then place the cue on that line and on your right leg at the same time. That is without moving your right leg slightly to the left...which will in my case also slightly move my eye position to the left.
Thank You Niels. I'm Going Monday to the Senior Center, and try out your Tutorial Here, Great World Champion Niels.
Enjoy it and good luck!
Please keep doing these. I love these videos. I was just telling a buddy of mine the other day who I help out that my instructor always told me to go back to the basics if I'm ever starting to play bad or feel like I'm getting into a rut. This is great stuff.
Thanks Ryan! Yes the basics are essential to climb the ladder well 👍🏼👍🏼😄😄
Niels,
Thank you so much for this video. I was missing quite a few shots because of my stance. The one thing in your video that helped the most- putting my hand on my leg for alignment. Made all the difference. Thank you again
You’re welcome John! Good luck!! 👍🏼👍🏼😄
On the topic of dominant eye, for me as a right hander, I had corrective eye surgery and had the ophthalmologist give me close up vision within 8’ for my right eye and distance vision for my left. This has allowed me to once again compete in my pool game more consistently.
Good move!! That extra eye test can be massive for our sport 💪🏼👍🏼😄
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Niels, what is your opinion on pocket difficulty for your home practice table?
I lucked out on mine (I think) as I didn’t give it much thought when I ordered my Olhausen table. I knew it had tighter pockets but was somewhat surprised with the degree of difficulty.
With 1 3/4” shelf depths and only 4 5/8” mouths/4 1/4” throats, I’ve really had to stroke more purely and focus on my mechanics.
I’ve also practiced on a diamond tables with even tighter 4 1/2” mouths and really was shocked in the degree of difficulty even over mine. Im curious what pros like yourself prefer??? Thanks!
I really appreciate your videos , they are clear and efficient ! Keep up the good work !
Thanks and you’re welcome! Any chance to practice these days?
Of course , pool is my main hobby so no matter how the world is changing because of the pandemia i still try to find ways to practice and enjoy the game. Can't wait to see you win another title when things come back to normal ! Have a nice one !
Thanks cham.after whach your vidoes can beat many other storonger than me player.l feel comfortable on the pool table.you are the best💪❤
Good to hear!!😄👍🏼
Fundamentals are so important!!! Thanks for another great video.
You’re most welcome👍🏼👍🏼😄
Thank you Niels for taking time out to post informative how to videos. I have been applying to my game and have noticed a difference and am more consistent. I will continue watching your videos eager to learn and make my pool game the best it can be. Thank you again sir and keep up good work and pool play best luck and wishes to you!
Great video! I take pride in my fundamentals. Lose grip... Step into my shot... Stick under my chin... Head down... I pause before I bring my stick forward... I follow thru with my shot. When I do this... I shoot so much better. Thank you for the tip!
Awesome Derek! Stick with it. Fundamentals are huge under pressure 😄👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼
You go into great detail. Even giving advice on going to the eye Dr. lol. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much! Your tutorial helps me a lot for improving my posture and my play style. And I think you should open an English teaching class, your voice and pronounce is so perfect.
Being right handed and left eye dominant has been a challenge! Wish I would’ve known about this 20 years ago! Thanks Niels! 👍🏻
What is your stance?
Excellent in every way. Thanks for the great thorough description. Enjoy and learn from your tournament play as well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the nice feedback Paul. Sharing is highly appreciated 👍😀
Back to the basics is for me. For now all I want to do is feel comfortable at the table. Once I do that and am able to hit where I am aiming without spin then my stroke will come back. BRAVO Niels!
Thanks!! Enjoy it and I’m sure it will help you 🙏🏻💪🏼👍🏼😄
I can’t express how grateful I am for these videos! You’re a true champion, but also- a rare thing- an excellent teacher! You’re my go to guy for pool training videos 🙏❤️
Legs bent for sure, a lot more stable . Thanks again champ
Correct. Very important! I see a lot of players standing out of balance...😬
Your channel is one of only a couple that I'll hit the thumbs up icon first thing because I know it's going to be good. Been playing APA for ten years and still go back to the basics occasionally. Especially if a pro is willing to give insight.
Thanks buddy!! That's just awesome to hear. Happy you like my channel and that the tips and videos are helping you out and motivating you to keep up your practice!
Greetz,

Best video of the basics that I have seen. Great work!

There's a lot of good tips and info!! 👌🙂
Thanks for subscribing!! Sharing is much appreciated 🙏
Thanks Niels whenever I want to get better I go to the basics
Always a good point correct. Like in all
Sports 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼
Thank you for making this series. I'm a beginner and i just start playing pool. This is awesome🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome! Glad you’re starting on the right foot(literally) 😂👍🏼💪🏼🔥
Really like the practical approach you have to pool coaching! More videos breaking down the fundamentals, please. I love it.
And just because you asked for our opinions about the locked leg or the bent leg: I go through periods where I prefer one or the other. I think the potential for unwanted, unconscious movement is higher with a bent leg than a locked leg. When I'm in flow I naturally gravitate towards the bent leg stance.
Thanks for sharing! More fundamental in two days 😄👍🏼
I'll join the others in saying just how amazing it is to have a pool lesson from a world class player! :)
I think it'll take easily 1-3 yrs for someone who starts the journey to get a true, accurate, consistent, and reliable stroke. It's far more intricate and challenging than it seems at first.
Every one of these points has even more details you'll discover for yourself as you progress along your journey to a good stroke. There are minor variations and adjustments you'll make for your own body type depending on height, relative body proportions, weight etc.
How do you know when you've mastered the process? Simple: you think about what to do and it happens automatically. Effortlessly! Till then your job is to train your vision and mechanical systems with strong guidance till everything gets programmed into your subconscious. Once the muscle memory is in place, you'll stop thinking and start shooting!
Every once in a while something will go awry. At that point you'll go back to your basics once again, double check everything and make necessary adjustments and corrections and continue.
As they say, it's a journey and not a destination. The more you enjoy the journey the less you'll worry about the destination and even practice routines and drills will become more satisfying and rewarding than games themselves.
This channel is great Rock solid fundamentals can raise your game more than anything and when I think of a rock solid player it is Neil's Thank You
Thanks Reed! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
Wow. An AMAZING lesson. Your lessons are so clearly presented. I was a little worried I would not be able to become a great player because I too have a "lazy eye", only mine is the right one so I only really use my left eye. I just assumed since I am right handed that I was suppose to use my right eye to look straight down the cue stick line. It was great to hear you say I can use my LEFT eye. Before watching your lesson, I was getting a lot of neck pain as I dropped my chin low to the cue and thought it was because I was using the wrong eye. Now I guess the problem was my stance, so I think this lesson will help. Looking forward to more of your lessons.
Great stuff Niels, that's a great way to teach a proper body posture for the game! All the best my friend ;) Cheers
These instructional videos from The Terminator are awesome if you really want to improve your game. My shots are coming together by just staying down on the shot with a smooth straight stroke.
Ohh yes!! That is such an important fundamental to remember... STAY THE .... DOWN 👍👍👍👍👍🔥
Wow. This is fantastic. Thank you so much for making this video. I've been looking for this.
Awesome!! Don’t forget there’s a whole
Playlist of back to the basics 💪🏼🔥😄
Bending my knees has helped out tremendously. I feel like I'm centered more and it's a lot more comfortable than the snooker stance and feels more natrual. I've watched a lot of videos and its one of the most helpful
Thank you champ for the lessons.
You’re welcome!! 😄👍🏼
Just found you. Glad I did! Very helpful Sir, thank you.
Your videos are really good and thought true. It is a help for everybody from beginner to pro to learn something new and evolve. Many thanks :)
Happy to hear that! Tnx!😀
Hey Niels, thanks for the tips!
To answer your question on leg stance, I was taught to bend both knees slightly...kind of like I am straddling a barstool, with my legs about shoulder width apart.
Over the years, I have found this helps me be a bit more consistent.
Thanks again for making this series!
Yep well explained! Makes sense👍🏼
Great video
in the early years I kept both legs bent started watching a lot of Snooker coaching and went to locking my back leg similar to Jason’s stance it did give me more stability but I will say that it’s hard on the back and hip .
I would hope that all the people that are trying to learn from this video would spend the next three weeks working on each thing you discuss in this series.
Thanks Andy. Yes it takes a bit of time to build things up but it’s totally worth it. Mega important 💪🏼🔥🙏🏻😄👍🏼
hidden gem on youtube
Cheers!! 🙏🏻😄👍🏼
I'm watching from Japan, thank you very much for the great video.

Hope this helps you Tariq! 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏻😄
Hi Niels. Thanks so much for taking the time to produce such quality instruction!! I'm been struggling with
Sorry. I hit send too soon. I've been struggling with fundamentals and really appreciate this little refresher series.
Great! Glad you’re enjoying them👍🏼👍🏼😄
Can't thank you enough for everything you're doing! These videos are great, keep it up!
Thanks Tyler! If you any more
Video ideas, let me know 😄😄👍🏼
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen I've been think about your question! I would love to see something on 2 rail and 3 rail positioning. Either it be drills that you do or thought processes etc. No pressure just a thought 😀
Hmm have you seen my video about position mistakes? And the ball in hand video? Those cover a lot of position routes 👍🏼👍🏼

@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen You're the man! I'll check take a look now, thanks
My problem was/is that I twist the cue on follow through. I found that my wrist wasn’t firm. I started marking the top of my cue with a sticker and focused on making sure on my follow through that the sticker was still up and in line.
I also learned about the eye alignment you mention. My cue now rubs the right side of my chin making it inline with my slightly more dominant side.
Lastly, when aiming I use a combination of ghost ball and half ball (whatever that other aiming system is...) and this has improved my game.
Thank you Sir for doing these videos.
Thanks Michael! Good to hear! Stay tuned for more fundamental lessons😄👍🏼💪🏼
So relative to your comment on table height, I also see that shorter players are able to lock out that back leg more than taller players. I’ve always thought that shorty players had a natural advantage as a result if this. Great tip in bending the knees, it certainly helps taller players get down over that cue stick better. Also recommend a good stretching routine. It’s also improved my ability to aligned my body comfortably. Super great video.... touches on all the key points with no BS.
Thanks Rick!! Good luck with incorporating that bend into your game. Will help you a lot with your back 👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻😄
Balance in the shooter's stance is essential, as you've stated. And I believe the corollary of being comfortable is almost equally as important, and it becomes very significant in those longer matches. Plus, if one is comfortable in their stance, then it is far less likely that one will "pop up" at the finish of the stroke, which is a bad habit of many beginners, and which should be avoided at all costs.
I have only one eye, the right. Luckily, I'm a right handed player, so I don't feel it has bothered me or hindered my ball pocketing abilities. But, the point is, that the dominant eye should be over the line of the shot, as you have correctly recommended.
As a former instructor and competitive player, I would like to say that both your advice and teaching methods are excellent. I would have loved to have had the chance to have played you some 9 ball. And I wish I had had someone like you to teach me in my early days of playing, I could have avoided some bad habits that took years to break. Lessons were often hard to come by in the past. When I started playing, in 1958, the only way one got schooled was usually through losing all of one's money to a superior player. Times have sure changed, and today's students are very lucky, indeed, to have such fine instructors as Niels to help guide them along.
I'd like to add one more bit of advice for the novice, if I may. That is, to always look to play the best players you can find, and who will give you the opportunity to play with them; as many of them won't. If needed, there's lots of ways to match up, and for handicapping the better player. If you do play the better players quite often, you'll find your game will improve dramatically faster than it otherwise might; that is, if your ego can handle the constant defeats. But, It's well worth it to your game in the long run, even if it might cost you a little cash, occasionally. 😊
Excellent comment!! I totally agree! Playing better players is by far the way to go forward. Match up, ask for a bit of handicap and invest in your game. The better player will give their best that way and you get to see all the small details live in front of you to absorb! I also agree with how times have changed. I had to invest 200euro in a video recorder that played NTSC videos from the States. This cost me two weeks of morning news payer delivering and then we had to buy the accu stats and wait two weeks for them and invest another 120usd or so for 5 tapes. And watch them over and over. Now it's youtube 24hr sessions lessons 😀😀
Therefore you see the learning curve going faster and faster. The youngsters knock of 8 years or so of learning speed by the information that's out there now. My generation broke through on the scene with 24-26years of age. Now it's 16-18!
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Thanks, Niels. I think that we are going to see the level of play in the current younger generation surpassing that of the last generation or two. And, being blessed with having the better physical attributes of youth, they are able to capitalize on those youthful qualities by blending it with the superior knowledge and instruction that's been made available to them today. I think we're going to see a rise in the level of play in the next ten or twenty years, such as we haven't witnessed before. It makes me wonder, just how many Niels, or 'Efrens' are out there, right now, just getting ready to burst onto the scene? Thanks for the response and the the compliment, and especially for your contributions to the pool world. I look forward to viewing more of your excellent videos. Cheers!
Thanks Niel's, enjoying the content.
I'm 6'1" and went to a modified snooker stance (both knees bent). It helped with my alignment and neck pain. I still use the traditional stance when breaking which helps me generate power.
One item not mentioned, is how low your upper body and chin should be. I know this varies and there's no right answer.
Yep this could be very personal. Most players get close to the cue but some like to stand higher 😄👍🏼
Ευχαριστούμε!
Thank you very much!!!
Great tutorial... Thank you Niels for sharing this..
You got it!! 👍🏼😄🙏🏻
I like your instructions.
Tnx Tony 👍🏼👍🏼😄
I have a lazy left eye as well. I wear glasses and I am thinking of getting billiard glasses or trying contacts. Your videos are so valuable sir, thank you so much.
Thanks!! Yes get those special glasses or contacts! I only wear one contact in my right eye. Left lazy eye has nothing. Good luck!!
I was tought to step into the shot exactly like you described it. But with the difference to keep my right leg (right handed, in the shotline) straight, wihle bending the left leg. So it is one straight and one bend leg :)!
Ok sounds good as long as your back is not giving you problems 👍🏼💪🏼😄
Truly appreciate these basics. Been playing many years on & off and now trying to get more serious. My stance & grip are getting in my way. I will work on your tips. Look out for me at the Opens! LOL
Thanks again
Thanks for the nice feedback Dave!! Hope you enjoy the videos 👍😊
Thanks for the instruction, this is really helpful. I have played pool since I was 5 years old, but don't even care about those basic steps, maybe for 12 years, hope I can improve my playing quality soon after watching your video
Awesome! More coming. Stay tuned 😄😄💪🏼🔥
Neils you're the man
Thank you sir!! 😄💪🏼👍🏼
This is the best channel ever
Thanks Niels, this is a great content. Clear and straight to the point! Very helpful.
The best video. When you make shot you use Elbow power or hand power
Elbow extension but the speed comes from the arm. Some players also use a bit of extra wrist acceleration.
thanks champ for making these videos!
Thanks Texan! Let me know if you have video suggestions 😄👍🏼🔥🙏🏻
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen can u make a video on the mental aspect of the game? like how to overcome pressure
Another great video! Thanks for clarifying for the eye sight stuff. My issue is my dominant eye is blurry because of a scare. I guess I have learned to compensate. Thanks again Neils Cheers
Good luck with it and trust it! You’re brain makes it’s own new depth perception 💪🏼💪🏼
@@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen Great information! I look forward to your next video 😊 thanks cheers
Thanks! Tomorrow😄😄
You are amazing for taking the time to help other players. I send your page links to people I know who need work in specific areas, everyone subscribes. Great format, particularly when you show where to hit on the ball.
I've watched many videos and yours are of the best I've seen. Thank you for being confident enough to share your knowledge.
Nice to see how you do it seems like best practice. Some of the newer pool videos they seem like they stand beside the shot instead of in front of the shot directly I had experimented with both. On the aiming line I like to visualize exactly to a pinpoint where the line comes out of the object ball. Then the part of the cue ball that will be contacting object ball is the exact opposite spot. I like to feel like I stand behind that line where they're both aligned both the contact points. I feel like this is a little more precise than just using a ghost ball. But I also like to look at the overlap as I get down I try to maintain those two contact points on the shot line until I'm down. then I will do a check does it look right . quick check ball overlap does it feel right does it look right. and obviously before you get down and during the shot you need to be feeling the speed that you need to get position and never lose sight of that otherwise you won't get position. Back and forth eyes at object ball last and fire. I'm also slightly conflicted because I've shot a lot of different ways in 20 years. Short bridge Long bridge I can really shoot both pretty well with both. The short bridge enables you to deliver the cue more accurately to the cue ball but you're closer to the shot and it's not as obvious if you're off The Shot line. With a longer bridge little harder to deliver perfect accuracy on the cue ball but it kind of forces your body to go through the shot a little smoother. I will vary some from shot to shot. longer bridge has more power and you don't need to swing as far so your mechanics don't break down as easy. I see some players that will just use a huge 14 to 18-in bridge on every single shot I feel like this is difficult to control the finesse short shots. Or especially Mass a type shots. Thanks for the tips this channel is definitely turning into one of my favorite channels.
Thank you sir!!🙏🏻💪🏼👍🏼 let me know if you have other video tips 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Terminator! Great as usual, btw Terminator tips, sounds like a good tip for cue :). I for sure would use hard Terminator tip ;). All the best!
Ha I like that one! 😄😄👍🏼👍🏼
I keep hearing Alex Lelys name in your videos . He must be a legend at teaching pool.
Alex has a lot of knowledge in deed! 👍
Thanks so much! I'm a taller, left eye dominant player. I bend both legs a little bit and have my left eye over the cue (a lot Jayson, but not as pronounced). I know this is only chapter 1, but wondering if an upcoming chapter will focus more on grip with specific info on which fingers are touching the cue during different shots, if there's different grips for different shots, and what happens when the grip closes on your final stroke. Thank you again! It's so amazing to get tips like this from a world champion!
Thanks! Unfortunately no other ones about grip. I cover the basics in this video. Try not to overthink it too much. Not tigbt is the key. Relaxed grip so you can have feel 💪🏼👍🏼😄 good luck!!!
