Thank you so much. It's incredible that difference of that finesse hold on the queue. I've always found this to be such a wonderful que stroke and it feels so natural.
@@tiarnaigh Thank you Tiarnaigh. Good luck and have fun with it. Btw, stroke the first shot as softly as possible but impart good spin action through the cue ball. Use max outside with a good amount of draw.
@@ronthepoolstudentthe inside spin shot I have. I’ve been working on the draw. The angle is familiar as I’ve been drilling the Verner 9 but when I try to bring down table can’t not get around that last ball and when I do I rattle the ob.
@ Think of striking max outside with a good amount of low John. It’s the outside that makes the cue ball come back roughly on the shot angle. Great finesse action through the cue ball is required of course. Btw, when you stroke the shot correctly, you’ll transfer spin onto the object ball which helps it go into the pocket without rattling.
Ron, you are so good at analyzing and explaining how these shots work, english, soft touch, etc. Do you have an engineering backround or somthing similar that allows you to be so precise. Love your teaching style and clear expanations! Best instruction ever! Thanks, Dave
@@daviddelisio4443 Thank you Dave. As far as teaching style, I’ve instructed since my early days in the military. I’ve always had a passion to teach. Also, I’m a mechanical thinker in that I have to know how things work. Because of this, I’ve been able to become a successful tool & die maker for 22 years (job shop trained) as well as an automation engineer and troubleshooter with General Motors Corp… I was also a Regional Training Director and did trainings on stage to thousands of students back in the late 90s. All this has helped me today with my channel and I’m happy I’ve been able to help so many players learn this great game.
Yup, you’re correct! Some believe that power (hitting it hard) creates spin (we know that’s not the case). I believe you are distinguishing that action as smooth acceleration (creating a level of speed) vs just raw power (smashing the cue ball). That loose grip allows further acceleration beyond that of just the forward motion alone. In your slow mo, you show the cue accelerating thru the ball and beyond the point of impact (good stroke)
This was worth the wait Ron! My biggest take away from both of these shots is being able to get the CB back to, or through in both of these situations, to center table. As always, good stuff and thanks for sharing! Ian
@@iantiffin5854 Thank you Ian, i’m glad you took away something from this tutorial. Btw, the center field drill (in my other videos) will help with these shots as well. That exercise really helped to teach me how to shoot with finesse.
@ It’s a ton of time Ronnie, but I love teaching others by sharing the methods and techniques I’ve learned and developed through these past 46 months ❤️🎱
@@bradleymorgan2409 I barely have to adjust for squirt with the finesse action I’m imparting on the cue ball Bradley. As long as I smooth stroke and not bang at the cue ball, my Z3 shaft allows me to aim pretty much at where I intend to hit.
@@Chi_Town21 Thank you Chi_Town. Advice: Keep stroking the shot as slowly as possible as you impart good action with less speed through the cue ball. It’s almost like a drag shot. This will take time but once you feel the sensation of a successful stroke, you’ll immediately understand the action required.
@ronthepoolstudent that's exactly it. Trying to develop that feel for it. Still tend to bang shots rather than finesse. I might get like 3 or 4 in a row but then lose it again.
@ Been there done that Chi_Town. You’ll just need to keep shooting the shot over and over then all of the sudden, your brain will begin to understand how to impart the required spin action with consistency.
I'm glad you explained finesse power. If not, it just sounds like an oxymoron. This is a shot. I've been practicing a lot because I've been trying to perfect the yo-yo drill. So, this video is incredible timing for me. Also, the little deflection you get from that wooden shaft is incredible. For the all left hand spin you put on it, it doesn't even look like you even had to compensate for deflection. Here's my question: How long did it take you to develop this? I feel like I'm on a face pace of learning this game. So, I'm trying to get an idea of the time frame it took you to get to this specific shot. This is a shot i would call advanced.
@@BooksNGuns Thank you Ricardo and yes, my Predator Z3 shaft allows me to aim at where I intend to hit. The shaft is super low deflection when I stroke softly with finesse. As for how long this stroke execution took, I’m self taught so it took me literally thousands of hours. (three years) This said, I’m now shortening the learning curve for you and others as I’m demonstrating and explaining these shots so you can learn more quickly. Note: this exercise will get you there faster.
@ronthepoolstudent exactly! You're definitely shortening my learning curve. I wish you could see the progress you've contributed to. I think what makes you unique that you were a beginner not to long ago. So, you clearly remember the struggles. You think Niels remembers what it's like to be a beginner and those struggles clearly? No, he doesn't.
@ I’m still a babe in the woods when it comes to years into the game Ricardo. I say this however; as in the last 46 months I’ve worked to learn this game, I’ve spent ten years getting there. This is because I’m now coming up on 9k hours of practice time…

@@LingLing-ku8pq you’re welcome and glad you have developed the ability to stroke with finesse Ling Ling 👍🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Great video !!! Thank you for sharing 🎱🎱🎱🎱
Thank you and you’re welcome Carlos 👍🏻😊
Another great vid Ron. Have screenshotted this one and will try out in practice
@@tiarnaigh Thank you Tiarnaigh. Good luck and have fun with it.
Btw, stroke the first shot as softly as possible but impart good spin action through the cue ball. Use max outside with a good amount of draw.
I’m gonna set it up and give them a go! Thanks for all the help Ron!
Reach out John if these shots give you any trouble, I’m sure I can help 👍🏻

Great video Ron. Very informative 👍
@@HikeColorado Thank you CH, glad this was helpful 👍🏻😊
Excellent video. Especially liked your explanation of finesse power, to me, it’s the smooth acceleration of the cue to, and thru, the cue ball
I call it action through the cue ball and how much spin is imparted per the speed of the stroke. Thank you for weighing in Curly.

@ I once read in the old days, great players were referred as great cue’ers lol.
Thanks too btw.
VERY cool!
@@shader26 Thank you 👍🏻😊
Great video Ron! Love the super slow-motion camera view, really helps to see how the cueball reacts of the rails
@@dpbuc32 Thanks dp, it is a very cool look 👍🏻

@ronthepoolstudent U do it well
@@HillbillyIslandLife thanks man!
Keep practicing Ron. You’ll get there.
@EliteComments-w7s
We are ALWAYS learning!!!
So on shot #2 did you have to adjust your aim for cue ball deflection? Or was the shot close enough to negate it?
@@bradleymorgan2409 I barely have to adjust for squirt with the finesse action I’m imparting on the cue ball Bradley. As long as I smooth stroke and not bang at the cue ball, my Z3 shaft allows me to aim pretty much at where I intend to hit.
Where can I get table markers like that?
@@human_3978 These ar paper reinforcements. They can be purchased at any office supply store or school supply outlet.
@@ronthepoolstudent paper reinforcements? Okay, I'll look those up! Thanks.
@ You’re welcome @human_3978
Still can't do it with consistency yet. But great shot to practice. Great video!

Finesse power is the hardest to master for me.. one day i can do it then next day cant..
Key is like he said, loose grip flexible wrist

@ronthepoolstudent that's actually a good point. Now I see why you talk in hours instead of years. Years aren't as good a measuring stick as hours.
