Thanks for the excellent and entertaining videos, Jasmin. I’m learning (and laughing) a lot from your numerous videos…all based from my beginner level of skill and knowledge…thanks, once again!
Great vid and I couldn't agree more. Allow me to add few points and share my experience. 1. Know what needs to be improved 2. Choose the correct drill methods 3. Do the drill [on our own - not with our mates!] One of my fav drills is I put the OB on the spot and I shoot from each diamond [5x]. So I will have 18 different shot positions [from 18 diamonds on the table]. Then I recorded how many times I missed / succeed in each diamond using excel [and created a chart from those data]. So I know that I frequently missed on my long shot due to lack of focus, wrong aiming point, bad stroke, use too much power, etc. Btw where and when is your next tournament Jasmin??
She’s not lying. This summer I did some of Tor’s exercises for 5-6 hours in a row for a few days. That amount of time just being patient, writing down how I’m feeling and putting a mirror in front of me stepped my games up to another dimension. I hadn’t shot as often like the summer but when I get on the table it comes back to me faster than ever. It’s also important to note mentality when approaching these drills she speaks of. Do NOT over coach yourself. Let your body and mind and focus naturally correct you into that feel of where to aim and internalise that feeling when you make the shots. You’ll thank yourself so much in the long run.
You have to love RUclips. One thing that I have noticed in my playing after watching SVB for years is that I kinda "channel" him especially when I'm playing well. I have the same rolling hitch that he uses to start his swing going back but I have not as yet mastered his special silky follow-through. I still feel as though I punch too many shots. I played a lot of golf years ago and I would find myself gravitating toward a particular player, in my case Nick Faldo (mostly). That changed a little as I realized I was not actually playing like him at all but as a kind of mind-game it gave me a lot of confidence when playing difficult golf courses. Same seems to be for pool where I tap into my inner-SVB and viola I play smarter smoother and with an abundance of confidence. That in-turn takes away a lot of playing anxiety. I think...OK I have seen SVB handle this, let's play it smart (maybe a killer safety) and smooth To a great extent it works, not 100% of course I'm not SVB and never will be but I tell you it works. Try it...find a player you feel speaks to you and watch how they play and just channel their skills into your game and see what happens. I predict you will enjoy the overall improvement in your play, not to pro-levels but noticeable improvement or at least enjoyment.
Ok Jasmin you had me at the chocolates. But when you brought in the ATM I knew I had to subscribe. I am in and look forward to your videos but also I really enjoy watching you play at the high level that you constantly do. I think consistency is a big part of being successful at billiards. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I know 100% it takes a bunch of time and you probably question yourself at times of doing these videos. But i can tell you many of your peeps here really appreciate it. So thank you thank you.
Great video! I start every session with shooting a whole rack of straight shots, corner to corner. The other day, before a tournament, I saw players WAY better than I am starting to do the same thing. It was kinda funny to see that they learned something from me. Body memory is often referred to as "muscle memory."
The real name of "body memory" is kinesthesic memory. It's the same sort of memory used by precision sports like archery or target shooting, by musicians or craftpersons (cabinet maker, sewer, ...).
I just bought a used pool table and started practicing because I am loosing to many times in the bar The take away from this video is don’t get frustrated,practice simple shots until i do them without as much thinking You made a 150 shots sound easy I will work on my patience
I put my pool table in an area of my house where it's "in your face" (i have a large living room)I use it every single day. When I first bought it years and years ago, I had it in a "game/bar room" and it barely got used. You'll love being able to shoot and practice all you want and get yourself a nice collection of cues for the wall!!!
@edwardwallace1633 depends on the tournament and level of competition vs your skill level. Some small bar tourney you may have a chance In but a bigger one with semi pros and pros you may be able to win a match here and there early in the tourney if you get matched up vs another amateur. But several rounds in you'll eventually run into a high level player and get smoked. Those players make very few mistakes.
@@Derek_1111 your correct! I will start with the bar, with hopes my skills will improve Your can’t win if you don’t play Plus it’s not how you start It’s how you finish Thank you for your feedback
@@edwardwallace1633 I think more importantly than winning tournaments is pool is a great hobby/activity you can do as you age unlike other sports that become more tough or maybe even not possible to play do to physical limitations. I'm 43 myself and I still haven't hit my ceiling. I do practice/shoot about 4-5 days a week. Been playing since I was a kid but have been playing consistently since I was about 30. Not to mention the social aspect of it as well. Some of the friends I have these days are the ones I've met at the pool hall.
Thanks for this i have to start doing this, i always just play and play for hours just regular break and play. I have to have patience to set up drills and practice and see if the results are better.
Thanks for the video, it is good and useful! I think it helps to "build up your confidence in a certain shot" --> could be the key. Once you are not afraid of the shot, you will do it naturally in a real match because of your successful experience.
I would love to see a two time speed session where Jasmin shoots the 150 balls of the same shot including the pre-shot routine. It’s OK for the pro’s to say shoot 150 balls, but they never show themselves actually doing it. It would be a motivator to try to get a better score than the pro.
in physical therapy we call it muscle memory. same with riding a bike and all the things we do. i just wish people would drive with out distraction as i see many people think they drive well, but i am on a motorcycle and i do not have an ops shield around me. nice job on subscriber count.
I'm not Jasmine but I can answer your question. A stop shot only works for relatively straight shots. You have to hit between center and below center on the cue ball. The farther away the object ball, the more below center you have to hit on the cue ball to get it to stop. Look up stop shots on youtube for more info.
I looked it up on RUclips it looks like a stop shot is the same as a draw shot can you explain the difference? Again thanks for getting back to me well appreciate it@@shaunpage4498
Ok, lets for example say you pot 150 times a given ball with a tip of right spin. In match you get the same position of balls but now you have to use reverse follow for position and this is completely different shot. My point is - every shot is different and doing the same shot x number of times in a row will build instincts for exactly this shot and that's it. IMO this drill may help with shot's which are really uncomfortable for you personally, but it won't help that much for building your game. Exception is straight shots where you can easy train your aim, line, stroke...
Great point, 100% agreed. The method described in the video would most effectively address weaknesses - shots that a player consistently struggles with.
I think the main principle of the idea is to train the shot until it becomes muscle memory. There's quite a few tip positions all a fraction away from each other so it's take thousands of shots for any given set up to hit them all. Then add in different stroke lengths and speed for where you're trying to get the cue back to... Eventually though you learn how you need to change the aim point for the English you're using and that can carry over to many different shots. My favorite way to practice shot making and position play Is just by playing 9/10 ball vs the ghost. If at any point I miss the shot or don't get position the "punishment" is to set the shot back up and shoot it 10x. (Hoping to make and get position all 10x) If I'm still struggling with it I'll shoot it even more. That way the practice session focuses on practicing weaker areas of my game.
I would compare to basketball. If you practice a turnaround jumper at the elbow a lot you will have more confidence and success shooting in that area even though every shot is a little different. The changes in tip position and tiny adjustments for throw, etc are essentially automatic at a point so the fact you didn't practice that variation is almost moot. It's all in your subconcience not your thinking mind.
You are very cool personality> I get so encouraged when I watch you playing you make it so easy. But when i go on the table and try to practice......it is futile.....maan it is futile
Repetition is great to improve our game, sure. But being overconfident isn't always the best approach. The number of easy shots I've seen pro's miss from being overconfident isn't even strange anymore. Every shot has to be taken seriously, not just left to muscle memory. Can't just switch off like that, especially on the seemingly easier shots.
150 times same shot In row. That is challenge but i Will try it In my next training session. My Last tournament yesterday was disaster. So i really need To do somethin....
I loved it when Jasmin said she goes down 😂😂😂. Just kidding. Great videos.....great channel.....very useful info for those serious about improving their game. Thanks Jazz
Why does it look like pro pool players always pre-stroke the cue ball at the draw position? Many pros look like they will draw the ball based on cue position pre-stroke routines before the actual shot. Why?
@jasminouschan What a lot of your skilled audience would like to know, are the shots the pros know, that good, but not pro players, don't. When we see you slide the cue ball 4 inches to the left around the side pockets, for perfect shape, we can only imagine how you actually hit that shot, but it would be nice to show us. Demonstrate the shots that only pros can execute regularly, mainly because good players, just don't know how.
I can’t relate to the credit card example. I know my PIN numbers, and all of the card numbers. Kinda like how I can lose my phone, and call anyone from a normal phone. Guess I’m just old school 🤷🏻♂️
You are the most beautiful woman ever ever seen you got everything god give you you are a champion God bless my beautiful lady!!! I look all your game and I see how you solve All the problems God bless you
Yes honey. my body will remember shots if only they would not change thr tables the balls the colour of the cloth etc. Look at snooker same equipment for so many years do you think it helps the players!? you can bet on it.
She's European. Credit cards have been chip-and-PIN in Europe for a long time. About a decade later the US is reluctantly moving on from the hilariously insecure magstrip the the merely laughably insecure NFC with no secondary authentication.
Thanks! Love your videos

I did the Tor Lowery for 4 hrs a day, 5 days a week for 6 months !!!! Incredible .I had over 11 hours of video & spent a year on 1 video
You are amazing Jasmin. You are probably the most dedicated billiard player I know nowadays.
Playing my first season of 8 ball city league this year! Thank you Jasmin! You are appreciated!
Another great video tutorial! HAM balls always produces positive results.
Thank you for your time Jasmine. You really bring something to the table every time. 😊 have a great day!!!!!

What perfect timing.
Lost my match last night because of 4 missed balls, all the same type of shot.
Time to get to work!!
Thx Jasmin 😘
Excellent information, thanks for this video.
You are absolutely right. I used to know that, but you reminded me of it. Thanks 🙏❤️
Good advise n tutorial! 👌 ❤
"Autopilot flow mode" is a super addictive feeling! Thanks for the great advice!
Thanks jasmin i love the way u teach❤️
Going with the flow... thanks Jasmin

Ok you sold me 20 seconds in. Eat more chocolate. Love concise videos.
Always understood this as "muscle memory" when training in martial arts.. the body just 'does' without having to think about it...

Hi Jasmine, thanks for the great lessons. Can you tell me how you hit the Q ball when you want it to stop after it hits the target ball?

Super👏👏👏
Cool
I want a piece of that chocolate please :)
omg I love this sooo much and thank you sooo much!
what position do you like to drill the most???
Is this Ritter Sport Alpenmilch? This is the best chocolate hands down!
Jasmine, do you use paper stickers to mark an exact spot or do you just approximate similar shots?
In a previous video she shows us that she uses reinforcements (you know, the little white circles) to put a ball somewhere specific.
What's up with the audio? It's an echo chamber. Is your mic not working?

What if you do it wrong over and over again and you keep doing it anyway?
nice guns
Where is PART 2 of the video on breaking?
Working on it. 😄 Should be online tomorrow
Why does it look like pro pool players always pre-stroke the cue ball at the draw position? Many pros look like they will draw the ball based on cue position pre-stroke routines before the actual shot. Why?
I would like to get in there and practice Over and Over.
Hope you had a wonderful Birthday yesterday! 😍🥳🎂🎈🎉

I want to play professional billiards with you. Is that possible? If you are unable to win, I can confirm that
Is that Ritter chocolate?
The audio on this video is horrible........very tinny sound hollow etc
I think you mean “muscle memory”. The only issue is that at level of repetition amateurs will lose concentration and become sloppy!
Are you a professional if not be quiet and let her tell us what we need to hear
You are a fool with 15 subscribers- my cat has more than that. 😂
😘😘😘😘⚘⚘⚘
But, I am a soulless ginger. Will this work for me too?

Wtf 😂😂😂 " if you have a ATM CARD"
This is so out of context - but god you are beautiful

I mean, I love Jasmin as much as the next guy but did I just watched a 7 minutes video that tells you to "shoot more balls"? Wow.
lol!
😁
How to get better...practice...)
You are very beautiful
Echo. Sounds like you're in a cave.
Sorry. Your video was not very helpful. Lots of talk but no showing.
I will try to show more on my next videos. Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻
