I actually take that shot a lot. I don't make it near as often as I'd like to, but I was shown that shot some time back by one of the regular hustlers where I shoot lol. They shoot a lot of bank pool there. There are several multiple rail banks that can get you out of a pickle if you can nail them. As many times as I've attempted this one, though...probably about a 30% success rate, at my current level. The problem is in not knowing the amount of English, equal to the amount of speed, equal to the size of the angle. Not easy lol
I would like to see a video where you put all these wonderful tips together that is rack the balls, break, see how the table is arranged and discuss strategy on what shot to pick and why did I pick that shot and what ball spin to use to set me up for the next shot.
Man if youre impressed by this youre going to learn slowly. This guy is okay but not good enough to teach. Well then again these are the most basic tips so maybe he is just trying to teach beginners the fundamentals of banking.
All those people complaining about the size of the pockets realize that it doesn't make any difference when it comes to the actual point of the video, right? Right???
It's just some losers who have nothing to do besides picking out irrelevant points to criticize other people to make them feel like they're better than everyone else
That was amazing man. That bank shot across the ball was crazy. I have done some slick moves before, but usually by accident. That was beautifully done. The technique was crazy in theory to me at first, but you did it. Thank you for these tips. I really appreciate watching the way you break it down.
Great video. I was always using the diamonds and finding half the angle for banks. That system worked with really simple ones but bank shots that require you to cut the ball a decent amount to get to the aiming point didn't work. So I would just eyeball those ones and this angle of reflection technique makes a lot of sense. I was watching a video of Efren Reye's final shot in his farewell tour. I believe those cross cut bank shots are actually influenced more by the spin transferred to the object ball by where the cue ball hits the object ball regardless of what spin you put on the cue ball itself. Either way, thank you for the video.
all i see in the comments are douchey billiards players that are too prideful to accept the fact that this guy gave a detailed, helpful tutorial video and is obviously a great player at a young age. who cares about the wide pockets it's not like he could pull a table out of his ass to give a tutorial video on a 12 ft. this kid is probably younger than me and could most definitely school me in billiards. thanks for the helpful video man!
Yeah who cares about wide pockets, it only enables you to to pot balls that usually wouldn’t go in, thus giving you false pretences that your playing shots correctly . Pool and snooker is all about how you deliver the cue when playing your shot, and just by watching this guys cue action, and pre shot routine, he’s certainly not technically solid. All that being said, agree, he speaks well and explains the subject of side well. Keep it up mate.
Jay. You don't play pool, do you? Dr. Cue and Tor both give better instruction on banks. I do credit this kid for trying and being enthusiastic. He seems to enjoy it, has some followers and may help a beginner, but that's it. Let's not forget. Ronnie was winning titles by this kids age. THAT is great, not making a video called "how to make banks 99% of the time" and then making your first bank off the cue ball. P.S. As you may have heard, size does matter. You don't get better by playing on slutty pockets.
@Coh Haters will Hate Period Doesn't matter what you are doing, seen a great chef show how to pan cook the best steak ever ( He's a chef at Ruth Chris steakhouse, $100 steaks) & your kind left all this Negative shit, so either if you knew how to cook it better, or thought so thats your opinion & you mkst likely are mature enough to not leave neg shjt, or you are just hating and CAN'T cook at all !!
Dan I sort of fit in both categories. I Love and Hate him. I like his beginner skills but if you watch from about 3 min. the to 4 min. mark he says when you shoot fast the ball goes where it is supposed to but if you shoot slow it goes wide. He gives the position to Shoot for but then shoots way wide and yeah it goes wide. Only a beginner would not see this right off. I have been playing pool for over 60 years and I am Damn Good but I saw this deception right off. He will be real good when he can put the cue ball on the rack spot and an object ball at the rail at the Far end against the diamond 90 degrees away and cut the ball into either corner pocket OR put an object ball an inch off the Rail and about 6 to 8 inches away from the side pocket then cut it in the side. That is Me. I am that good, also with a good rack I can call the Eight on the break and make it 7 out of 10 times and if I happen to miss you will be $hitting your pants because it barely missed and is dangerously close to the pocket. Your skill then becomes finishing up and winning by either player. I once played with Steven Mizerak in Alabama. I beat the fat fart only once. That was in around 73 or 74. It has been a few decades now and I forget the exact year I was visiting relatives there. I live in The only Nation within this Nation, TEXAS. I grew up playing pool in the bars on the NE side of Houston bars off Hwy 90, an area where you had to be extremely skilled at BARELY winning or loose your life.
I’ve been playing pool for nearly 50 years and this video popped up on my feed. You are never to old to learn something new. I really enjoyed watching this video, especially the first bank that you made, even on a bad deflection hit. That’s a lesson right there. Even a miss hit made. The reason you made it was because you did everything 99% correctly. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
Really grateful for your advice and help to master the process of taking your game to the next level. This is a master class of epic proportions and I love to receive the notification of your latest video
This young man explains it in a way that is so simple to understand. Obviously he has it do to a science and for himself to share his knowledge this way is such an advantage to anyone wanting to improve their game. Great job Mr Dupree, you are a Pro no doubt about that. A comment below about running a table explaining every shot using English would be very interesting for subscribers as you pick your shots. Thanks so much for your videos. You are the best contributor to the game of billiards.
You're the man. I'm really learning man. If I was in your city, I would pay you to help me with my game. I'm going to keep watch your vids buddy. Thanks alot!
Nice vid, One thing to remember: as the friction of white ball and object ball is low (they're very smooth, guys!) it takes a lot more spin on the white to transfer sufficient to the object ball to do that than if you simply aimed the white to bank on its own (remember also that you chalk the tip of your cue to INCREASE the friction between tip and white ball so spin shots take - you obviously can't do that between white and object ball).
Thank you Jaden for your videos. I used some of the techniques I have learned last night and won my first 9 ball match of the season. Mostly the banking position techniques. Thanks again and keep them going.
Man you know your stuff my friend. I have learned so much from you. Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel. One of the best pool players I ever saw in my life was an 18 year old man in the service
Thanks for sharing. Learned a new shot! One correction. The harder you hit a ball, the less spin affects a ball, not more. The softer you hit an object ball with spin, the more it will throw the ball, not less. Easy to test: line up a shot diamond to diamond with one width of English. Shoot it softly, then shoot the same shot again hard. You will see that the object ball is thrown more with softer English. In the video, you had to hit it hard to make sure the ball had enough speed to return to the pocket, and still had some spin on it. That's very different than it "spinning more because you hit it hard." You can also test it by setting up a perfectly straight shot. Use 1/2 width of English and hit it hard. You'll see the object ball diverts very little vs. if you hit it softer, the object ball is thrown more. Just trying to correct a misstatement.
Well said Ken. When the nine gets to to the second rail the spin, looking from the brown ball side, has become LEFT spin, further helping the cause, and then goes back to RIGHT spin on the final rail, spinning even more as it slows down, just as you said.
Great video٫ extremely helpful. I came here trying to understand bank shots better. Your video helped me do exactly that. Edit: also i really appreciate that you mentioned a physics rule. That really helps to point people in the rite direction. If they are willing to do their own research.
Thanks for the informative explanation. I always screwed up bank shots when putting english on the ball, now I know why. I was putting the wrong spin on the cue ball! Thanks a bunch!
it's not to complain its just that your going to confuse people when they try that same shot with bottom left and just end up thinking they can't do it and them just give up. thanks again man I've watched many of your videos and they are way helpful so thank you.
I have been a big fan of yours for a while now and I have to say that you have the most amazing skill in the way you don't move your eyes at any point from the moment you are in position to taking the shot. I have checked with other professionals and the only person that comes close to it is florian the venom, and reyes. Both are very much the top of their own class and I think this may be a great idea for the best way to go about taking a shot as the 3 of you are on a level that is not easy to get to. I'm 44 and been playing since I was 8! Started with 8 ball for the first 5 years and I have played 9ball ever since. So I'm really enjoying these videos so I can see if I can see a different way of doing some shots with a higher success rate than my own
Sick shot. Great video. Cant lie my angles I see naturally but those shots are more than just natural. That's mathematically an amazing attempt. Thumbs up!!
When I first started trying to take pool seriously and learn to play I spent a long time trying to avoid bank shots and would instead hit ridiculous cut shots and could eventually hit shots that almost looked like the defied physics. On the other side of that my usual playing partner would avoid cut shots at all costs but learned to hit bank shots without even thinking about it. Then one day we both decided we needed to round out our games and that we both had something we could teach the other and we started playing games with only bank shots or only cut shots and one would help the other learn what worked for them.
That transferring of spin for that double bank shot on the 9, I don't even see pros using that type of play. Seriously that's some voodoo magic right there.
Jo-Erlend Schinstad I guess you've never seen Efren Reyes shoot. Learning shots like this might save you in a do or die situation. At least if you practice it you'll have a general idea of how it's done and can shoot with a bit of confidence.
Sure I have. Did you read my comment and what I responded to? Efren Reyes doesn't use magic all the time, because magic is higher risk than doing it simple. You only use advanced shots when it is required and good players avoid having to do it. You play to win, not to look cool. Players who plays to look cool, doesn't win very often.
I've been shooting pool a long time and have seen this happen accidentally. I never could put it together how to duplicate it. Thank you for the explanation.
This is one of the hardest shots for me to make. I've watched your video time and time again and still am not very happy with my bank shots, and yes I do practice them all the time.
So amazing! Well done! There's so much more to being a great pole player than I ever thought. Always thought chance, luck, and a little bit of skill were all you needed. But there's a lot of science and math involved--geometry, trigonometry, and physics, for example. Thanks for opening my eyes to how sophisticated the game can be.
Gotta hand out props when they are due - I shoot in the APA and wouldn't you know it that I wound up with a bank shot on the 8 to win my match this week and I used the exact method described here without practicing it first and nailed the bank to win my match! All the bashing the wide pockets comments are dumb, you guys are all missing the point. AND if you can do better, then where are your videos? The wide pockets don't matter, he's explaining how to line up the bank - the technique he's teaching is what matters, how you apply it is all on you. Thank you Dupree, this video helped me win my match this week!
Topspin and draw absolutely will put the opposite spin on the object ball and affect the angle it comes off the rail. Draw on the cueball >> topspin on the object ball >> wider angle. Topspin on the cueball >> draw on the object ball >> shallower angle. Otherwise, great video!
I dont know how often you check or read these comments, but I really enjoy your videos. Ive learned quite a bit from them. One thinng I think would make them better is if you had a camera pointing down from above the table. That would help show the angles better I think. But great job, keep them coming
It leaves at the same angle if hit very light, because it is not compacting the cushion. The harder you hit it, the more it compacts the cushion. The cushion wants to throw back ball at 90 degrees to the cushion, so that the harder you hit the ball, the more it wants to do this, which is why the harder you hit it, the more it flattens out leaving the rail. This is very clear in the beginning of the video. You say they are coming off equal, but clearly they are not. Only the soft shot is coming off equal. It is not coming off wider, it is coming off on an equal angle. Your first shots are coming off flatter, not equal like you say, because you hit the ball firmer. Whenever you hit it with any kind of firmness, you are compacting the cushion, hence flattening the angle off the rail. Just my opinion.
This is an okay video but you should use markers or placement stickers on the table so that they can actually see the differences from the same angles.
Most of the spin that returns the CB is from spin induced off the rail in your example.. I'd guestimate 80%. That said, helpful video for beginners and well produced.
I'm playing pool for many years and I've never thought about the double bank with the reverse spin on the object ball. Never knew the object ball could take spin! Thanks for bringing that to our attention!
You are a gifted individual, the fact that you refer to physics in describing how to play pool shows a degree of intelligence a lot of pool players don't understand is a massive part of the game. I can see you winning a world championship yet. Keep up the great work, much appreciated. Don't mind the begrudgers, they are jealous. 😁
I made a couple shots from one end of the table to the other where the ball was right on the edge of the pool table thanks to the tips in another video from this person.
Great vids and advice! I do have a suggestion though. It seems you always have the camera on the opposite side of the room. And in a lot of your videos you're talking about spin directions, left, right, etc. Well everything is backwards from the viewers view. It can be a bit confusing. It would be much better if we could see everything from your side. (In first person view).
6:17 is an insanely impressive shot
Agree. Really taught me something. Felt on the table I play on will never work for this tho
It was Alex.............never seen a shot like that made in a match play. But, man that would be cool!
I’ve been stuck in this situation more than a few times. I can’t wait to try this shot out sometime now. Great video

Love that spin double bank. In a pinch it would be great to pull that one off at the club...lol
It really would

Keep up the hard work!

I play to do both, idk about you. (At least against amateurs) The total victory is many times sweeter than the simple victory.
What video camera are you using. It comes out very clear.. Thanks

This is one of the hardest shots for me to make. I've watched your video time and time again and still am not very happy with my bank shots, and yes I do practice them all the time.

So amazing! Well done! There's so much more to being a great pole player than I ever thought. Always thought chance, luck, and a little bit of skill were all you needed.

That spin technique is cool AF! When you hit, I was sure you blew it then it popped in the pocket!
simply thank you
Very accomplished player. What is you cue/tip combo of choice?
Hey i was wondering if you could make a video on picking a pool cues and possibly tip density. Thanks
Nick Williams hi Nick Williams it's Nick Williams lol. I was like dude I don't remember leaving that comment.
Btw love your videos I started watching pool I subbed and turned notifications on
that was a sick double banker....WOW!!
Really didn't know the whole psychic mirror thing until this video. Thanks a lot!
It leaves at the same angle if hit very light, because it is not compacting the cushion. The harder you hit it, the more it compacts the cushion. The cushion wants to throw back ball at 90 degrees to the cushion, so that the harder you hit the ball, the more it wants to do this, which is why the harder you hit it, the more it flattens out leaving the rail.
This is very clear in the beginning of the video. You say they are coming off equal, but clearly they are not. Only the soft shot is coming off equal. It is not coming off wider, it is coming off on an equal angle. Your first shots are coming off flatter, not equal like you say, because you hit the ball firmer. Whenever you hit it with any kind of firmness, you are compacting the cushion, hence flattening the angle off the rail. Just my opinion.
Excellent
Well that was amazing!
This is an okay video but you should use markers or placement stickers on the table so that they can actually see the differences from the same angles.
Most of the spin that returns the CB is from spin induced off the rail in your example.. I'd guestimate 80%. That said, helpful video for beginners and well produced.
i happen to appreciate the vid a lot! thanks for sharing! i would appreciate more time on lining up the shot though.
Great content very useful
I love your videos. Thankyou. What cue are you shooting with? I love the look of it.

Awesome double banks! I've never seen that! Who taught you??? You have a bright future.
+Wilwen I taught myself!
I'm playing pool for many years and I've never thought about the double bank with the reverse spin on the object ball. Never knew the object ball could take spin! Thanks for bringing that to our attention!
Stupid
Superb!
I am adding that three rail cross side shot to my arsenal ASAP. I can't wait to pull that one out.
You are a gifted individual, the fact that you refer to physics in describing how to play pool shows a degree of intelligence a lot of pool players don't understand is a massive part of the game. I can see you winning a world championship yet. Keep up the great work, much appreciated. Don't mind the begrudgers, they are jealous. 😁
I wanna get over there and brush the table off for this guy.
Your videos are great, man. How old are you??
Wow. You're really good at shooting pool man.
I made a couple shots from one end of the table to the other where the ball was right on the edge of the pool table thanks to the tips in another video from this person.
how wide are the pockets on this table looks like 6 plus inches ??? they make pocket reducers
Bro, you looks like Tom Brady before he was drafted. Skinny, lanky. But skilled. Very Skilled. Good luck man. Keep it up.
Yes i liked and i learnd a lot
For Pete's sake, he addresses the wide pockets at the beginning.
Great video, thanks for uploading it, but Google is serving up ads every 45 seconds and I can't hang

I didn't know that you have to hit that bank shots fast. I'm normally don't hit any shots fast. I hope this info helps my game. Thank you.
Great vids and advice!
I do have a suggestion though.
It seems you always have the camera on the opposite side of the room.
And in a lot of your videos you're talking about spin directions, left, right, etc. Well everything is backwards from the viewers view. It can be a bit confusing.
It would be much better if we could see everything from your side. (In first person view).
Have you ever seen the Kamui Diamond slicer, and if so could you do a video on how to set it up?
Thanks man
