- To reach your highest levels in pocket billiards it requires a knowledge of baselines or references - I teach how to create Referential Indexes in all areas of the game, especially for cue ball control and shot-making.
Today I'm sharing how to create the Foundation of your cue ball control References - and a way to practice that speeds up your knowledge, execution and baselines of Touch and Feel so you can Play Position Like a Pro.
The Game is the Teacher 💪

special thanks to Chad Godfrey at the Speakeazy Billiards in Sanford NC for helping with the camera work, much appreciated 💯
This is the first time in a long time that I learned something new and useful in a RUclips lesson. Thanks man!
I only have about 6 months of serious pool playing under my belt, and I’ve watched tons of you tube “ how too videoes and I’ve watched many of your tutorials 2-3 times but I’m finally thinking I’m understanding the center to center and center to edge.
I’m excited to try this in some warm up games before my local bar tourney tomorrow…. Also I feel like your way of playing makes things much simpler. I have a terrible time using ghost all and other aiming “systems.” But if I can get familiar with the type of cut angle, and how many tips left or right to make the shot I believe I will be much more successful at potting balls.
Thanks for sharing your many years of wisdom.
You can see my detailed videos about the game at www.cjwiley.com
That Cadillac is gorgeous. It should be in the movies.
I think it was - definitely had a car here that was in The Godfather awhile back.
I painted one of them awhile back a 1960..huge car..super classy..
I understand the concept of references. If you have a familiar shot with an expected outcome, that’s your reference point, and then you can adjust your cueing to travel the cue ball as needed.
4:17!!! That cue ball spun for 15 seconds!!! Better hope the Time Keeper is paying attention!!! Lmao!! Nice! 👍🏻🥃
Not many people (average or beginner) know that on certain shots you MUST shoot the same spot on the OB that you use on the CB. I'm glad you brought that up. You showed me this at KBC or Peytons (🤷♂️) 😂 a couple years ago. If you haven't done a FULL video on that you should! Learning that has helped my game more than ANYTHING I've ever been shown in advanced lessons. 💯
Yes someone showed me that long ago and I can't remember who it was - definitely makes a huge difference, I'll do a video on how this comes up, you're right most players don't know how this is done
Pls make a vid on this topic bc I’m havin a hard time understanding this concept. Won’t pool balls always touch each other in the center?(assuming no hop)
@CarltonLassiter-nt1ls - "center" is relative to the shooter's perspective - they only touch center on straight in shots - not sure what you're not understanding, I'd watch it again, there's a lot of information in that video many players have not heard before.
I don't understand this because there are times when the tip is pointed off the object ball, but is on the required line to make the shot. In fact, SvB aims by aligning the inside edge of the tip with the outside edge of the object ball on most cuts.
This tip must only apply to close to full ball hits
@@SpaceboyBilliards it's the edge for a reference on shots like that
Listen to CJ about the stop shoot, he's dead on about this shot Earl Strickland is the very best I've ever seen shoot this shot!!
It was my pool lesson from yesterday, my students must play stop shot the most of the lesson ! Thanks c.j was your teaching
Hey, CJ! Kevin Malley here from Connecticut. This is amazing information and I'm pretty confident I can speak for all players when I say I appreciate you giving away powerful secret information others would usually charge for or just keep to themselves. I'm friends with Roger Lakotko and I've also gotten your knowledge indirectly through him, but mainly on the mental game. 6 years since picking up a cue and I have multiple 3 packs under my belt, a 47 run and 42 in straight in the same week, and 1 5-pack!
Also, your tip about down angle and up angle I learned from Larry Gendler and I was able to pass that knowledge onto a player and it completely changed her follow game. Everybody was telling her to stay level, but I assured her this wasn't possible in most situations, nor was it natural for the game to begin with
Sounds Awesome, glad to have the opportunity to put some more tools in your pool box - $hoot $traight the Game is our Teacher 💪
I must say sir ! I really love the way you teach and explain Pool!
Thanks I appreciate that! 💪
I’ve took a few lessons from he knows what he’s talking about my game went way up after the lessons
I noticed on slow cloth I can get more draw by elevating a little. Your demonstration with the penny made me realize that the cue ball is probably getting airborne a bit eliminating the friction and keeping more of the backspin.
Yes that's correct And the edge of the cue cuts into the cueball more and creates more spin - the masse shots are prime examples of what the Edge will do to produce massive spin.
The speed for a pop shot also minimizes rolloff in less than ideal table conditions.
@@boogiemanspud That's a great point I was trained to hit everything firm and crisp because on the road we played on tables that rolled off....and many different cueballs, mud balls, big balls, metal flake balls, red dot, blue dot ...... they all play better with the PopStroke.....you know what I'm sayin.....the Game is the Teacher
I appreciate you .congratulations on all your billiard accomplishments .
Mahalo 🌴 nice to hear bud, Shoot Straight 💪
Nice lesson, thanks I figured this method out about 3 weeks ago after 30 years or so,😂 Thanks for making it clearer about how to actually make it easier to make it a part of my game.
CJ: Excellent description of 5 very valuable information nuggets 😊about the physics of pool. Much appreciated!
Glad you liked it bud, make it yours.💪
I always liked CJ, Im glad he is doing these videos.
I love the stories on the road, but nothing beats hearing the knowledge about the game that you share. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Mahalo 🌴 Enjoy your holidays
Thanks again man. Most helpful information for me I can think of. I like to think of my bridge as consistent but obviously it is not. Truly helpful and seriously thanks for the videos.
CJ Another Great Video ~ Pool is So Intricate I often compare it to golf….
Hello CJ! I am relatively new to the game. I discovered pool (my new obsession and passion might I add) earlier this year just in March. I have to say that you may be the most "relatable" teacher I have come across. I have already seen a dramatic improvement in my abilities by applying your very easily explained and understandable instructions and tutorials. Thank you!
You're welcome, glad to have the opportunity to help - keep up the good work. 💪💯
I believe CJ is the Absolute Best Teacher
Very nice lesson CJ, Thx and it's all true. I had a beef with J Barton on line and he was Stating that you could NOT get any draw from the 'level cue' lol.! JB is miles away from me so I had Charles Lakey demonstrate that that it was indeed possible but Charles up and Drew the ball all the way from the first diamond all the way back to the last short rail to the handrail. JB didn't like that too much you know how John Barton is laugh out loud😅
Yes it's best to use the Edge of the tip with an angle - I don't use a level cue unless I'm slow rolling a ball as a rule.
: ) Yeppers! and then some. I so appreciate the wording!!! Be Safe
Pretty cool!! I would have never thought about doing this with changing the height of your stroke arm!! I can’t wait to go do this at Slate 8 in Winter Haven, Fl and watch my game reach new heights!! Awesome video, CJ!! Definitely, consider this a “secret” of the pros!! Happy Thanksgiving!!
I may be coming down to Florida in January, always a great pool state in the winter months - hope you're playing well my friend 💪
It’s Jay from tic tok and facebook great video!
Well explained their CJ nice job.
very clear thanks cj
Good stuff Cj also that’s good looking car
Hey CJ great video. Been shooting pool off and on all my life and never heard of this. Anyways what size table are you playing on? Why were there two sizes made, at least in vintage Brunswick tables and what size are championship games played on?
I have the larger size 1913 Brunswick and love it. Can't remember the model name. Yoy got a new subscriber here my friend.
I'm on a 9' Brunswick Gold Crown - there's 2 sizes of 8' tables but usually the 9' ones are the same except the rails are slightly different....yes, what I'm showing is not what players are used to hearing or reading - there's several levels of fundamentals and techniques, I'm sharing some of the highest level stuff....thanks for reaching out - Shoot Straight 💪
Great info
My local pool hall has two tables with 4 inch pockets. I had juat gotten used to 4.5" pockets and they went down to 4.25". And now I'm seeing 4" pockets popping up all over the place. I've played 3 times now on those tables and it has juat been horrible. I'm sure I could get it down just like I did with the previous two pocket downsizing events. But I really don't want to. To me the game just isn't fun going down that far. You cant cheat the pockets. If I were to guess my pot making success was probably less than 50% on these tables. I've talked to people that are just weekend pool players or even less tha. That. They like to go to the pool hall once a week or every couple weeks maybe just to have some drinks and socialize with their friends and every single one of them said when they make them all 4 inch they won't come back. And since the other tables in there are all 4.25" they all say the game just isn't fun for them anymore. I play almost everyday so I have the pockets down but for someone that's just a weekender it makes the game nearly impossible for them. They don't want lessons or to have to learn how to play the game all over again. They just want to have fun. I have been considering quitting if they go to 4". I don't know if I will or not. But I do t agree with the pockets getting smaller and smaller and the angle of the inside of the pockets becoming less anders of an angle. There are other ways to make the game harder for the pros without making the pockets smaller. AnywY. I have been enjoying your videos and learning alot. Tha k you. Do you have an opinion on the pockets getting smaller and smaller cj? It just concerns me because pool is a great hobby and should be fun for everyone. And not just the players who are playing 4 to 8 hours a day. I'm afraid we will lose alot more weekenders if they go to 4".
There will never be an abundance of 4" pockets because, as you stated they are too small from recreational and even semi pro players - I like them but for competition 4.25 is ideal for tournaments to fit player's skill levels.
Check out my 3 Part Pocket System to play better on tight equipment.
@cjwiley1541 I will check those out. Thank you cj. I don't mind 4.25 at all now. But somehow going down to 4 juat makes it impossible for me. Thank you.
I always push the ball and sometimes lose the power but it needs to be popped or poked right? Not pushed..?
Good video, makes sense, I'll put it to practice. I saw LED perimeter lighting over the car. Are you using LED perimeter lighting over the pool table as well? If yes, how do you like it?
Yes it's awesome lighting - they only weigh 18 pounds
Ive never heard that elevating the stick reduces deflection. Makes sense though
CJ, the snooker pros stand perpendicular to the shot line, what do you make of that?
It's a totally different style but they achieve a very centered position - it doesn't offer the power of the pool stance though.
does the "pop" same like "poke" but still doing it smoothly
This whole video means we dont have to “push” but instead “poke” it?
Great job CJ, always enjoy your videos. How much for that Caddie?
It's priceless 😉
@@cjwiley1541 Lol.
How much for a lesson? I’m in Georgia. Right down the road form Monica Webbs pool hall.
Private lessons are $275 for 3 hours and clinics are $100 per person for 3 hours (5 player min) - I'll be back in that area in a few weeks unless I go to Florida.
You ever do lessons or clinics in the Houston Tx area?
@@robertcress3799 did cj ever get with you about houston?
Did you run with Townsend
We Battled several times in various states and teamed up in Vegas on year and did well, the story about that trip is on my RUclips channel under the 'Adventures on the Road' - I loved Scotty we had a lot of drinks, adventures and fun together?
RIP my Brotha from Anotha Motha💖
First
At 3:58 that was left english, not right - CJ just misspoke I’m sure.
Is your car black ???
The one in the background is
@@cjwiley1541 Nice
Anybody can do any kind of shots you have to have a reference point of feeling of the pool stroke got to know the speeds of different shots,pool is about having fun, to learn the basics of fundamentals and mechanics of the game of pool....😂🎉😢😮😮❤
There are several levels of fundamentals, like cues there's a big difference between what most players use, to get champion level results you need to learn the highest level of physical techniques....or your game will suffer under pressure especially playing against world class players.
That stick looks extra long to me jjf.west of west phila.pa
It's a regular 58" Bludworth with a BULL Carbon shaft that I just started playing with....it's awesome so far.
@@cjwiley1541 when you held stick out east to west it looked long to me but when you had it next to you north and south it looked standard size I have a carbon fiber stick I played with 20 years ago played for a little bit had to get a glove I have sweaty hands at times but went back to all wood stick you get less flex on hits with those coated sticks
