Thanks for the nice video. Hearing that the "ghost ball system" does not work above 40 degrees is what I needed to hear...
I love your videos. They've helped me go from a noob at pool to an intermediate player. Keep up the good work!
Thanks glad the videos have helped
As a beginner to pool I used that system, but as you teach it I have a better understanding,,, Thanks
That was an amazing and clear beginner explanation of basic aiming. Much clearer than how I explain to my students. I'll be sending them your videos. Thanks from Atlanta, Georgia.
Thank you
Thank you! Very clear and helpful explanations and demonstrations. What a great teacher you are. So glad you've taught us how to practice. I'm a fan!
This is the best class I’ve ever been a part of
Very useful. Many thanks!
I've never got on with the ghost ball system, what works for me is to visualise a line from object ball to pocket and simply follow that line to the pocket, I see the angles but struggle to see the spot on the object ball with the ghost method, also with long dead straight shots I just imagine the object ball is not there and make sure the tip of my cue finished the stroke pointing at the centre of the pocket, but each to their own thats what works for me. BTW another great video👍
Thanks for another great clip. I have to say tough that bird view for that video would show angles better to understand the principles, than side view.
This made a lot of sense, thanks for your help 🍻
No worries!
I shared your video in my pool group…. Already pass this level but I appreciate good content
Cheers appreciate you sharing it. Mabe check out the Advanced one ruclips.net/video/MAsxccDV6kY/видео.html
great!
Ghost ball is a good reference point👍🇳🇿🎱
I found it easier on angle shots to just move side to side to find the right angle in degrees until it "feels right"
Great videos, great channel. I'm a decent begginer I think,maybe heading towards intermediate but I still miss some average shots. I'm new the ghost ball method....I've been imagining a lazer beam coming from the pocket and thru the object ball and where that line exists the ball that's where my white needs to hit. Could me issue be the cue ball size difference as you explained in this vid ? Another vid on this idea could really help me. Cheers.
Cheers. Yeah as I mentioned in this video I think, you need to focus on the “middle” of the ghost ball. If you think about where the white will contact the object ball then subconsciously you will aim at that point and then hit the ball too thick. I have a video about “where to look” and also one that talks about the smaller cue ball “cue ball size matters”. These cover it a bit as well.
@@PoolSchool thanks ....practice makes perfect
@PoolSchool local pub just had table reclothed....oh my word it so much better. Cue ball control so much better and easier. I actually played so much better.
where do you look at? the cue ball or the target ball?
Where To Look When Playing Pool | Pool School
ruclips.net/video/BTLOyKschzg/видео.html
I don't understand, and have yet to see, any pro or bar player NOT look at the cue ball prior to a shot as you did here? Don't you imagine the ghost ball, then keep focused on that, then approach your cue ball, line that up, then focus only on the target ball going forward? Seems unintuitive but I will try your method next time I am out.
I'm over exaggerting the keeping focused on the ghost ball here, but it is where my eyes end up just before playing the shot. In reality as I feather, my eyes flick between the cue ball and ghost ball to make sure everything is on line. When it comes to whether you end with your eyes fixed on the ghost ball, or the cue ball, there are people (and Pros) that do both. I prefer to look at the ghost ball as that is where I am delivering everything to. It shouldn't be hard to hit the cue ball correctly so there is no need to look at it. I also find if you look down at the cue ball as you hit it, you then look up to where the ball is going, which tends to create head movement. However like I said there are some pros that look at the cue ball, others that look at the ghost ball, so there is not "correct" answer.
How I'm suppose to know where the center of the imaginary ball is
You have to visualise it.
