@@justinbaca5086 practicing what? Just smacking balls around? No drills. No stroke practice. No stance practice. No pre-shot routine practice. No position play. No cue ball control. Anyone can practice. How you make use of that practice is what differentiates high level players and low level players, scrub.
There are few things I want to point out as others have said: - for cleaner stroke: - Make sure your cue sits on your fingers, as if it's about to fall this will allow your wrist to be more relaxed and not stiff - Hold your cue closer to the center of its mass, especially on close range shots, pull your shoulder blade back and aim that your elbow is 90 degrees in idle position - when making a stroke elbow is locked tight in place, only thing that moves is your forearm - When making a shot make sure your cue is just below the center of your chin, allowing for more accuracy - here's a video showcasing all I've said: ruclips.net/video/CbIIObQNfGc/видео.html - learn how to hold the bridge and types of bridges: ruclips.net/video/ydwWV6zWEtw/видео.html - for making more shots: - practice of course, playing racks wont get you far so you got to do drills - here are some videos with good drills: - ruclips.net/video/wyakkrLLYBc/видео.html - ruclips.net/video/NpXyNunsf9o/видео.html - for getting better: - except for practice, if you're really serious about this sport, it is a life long journey and takes a lot of dedication - go to your local billiards club and ask people for tips or ask them for sets and try to learn, look if there's some school of billiards near - watch tournaments, you'll learn a lot just by watching, I used to work as a bartender in billiards club and every time there would be a major tournament or local one, I would just sit and watch and look how they do things like their technique, strokes, how they think, etc. As well you will learn a lot about pool culture and manners they have. I really hope to seeing you improve, billiards is a beautiful sport which takes time to learn, nothing is easy. Best of luck
If you notice when you use the mechanical bridge you make your balls almost everytime, yet on some of the same shots you made before you miss when you use just your bridge hand. Your bridge hand needs lots of work, too loosey goosey. One good bridge hand video and your game will improve vastly.
stood up on your break you also stand up on a bunch of shots. playing racks of 9 ball isnt gonna make you better. gotta set up dead straight balls and really work out a good stroke that works for you. Gotta know how and why you hit a ball a certain way before you implement it into your game. hope that helps bb
@ hell yeah brother pool is an awesome game and you aren’t horrible for a beginner. Keep up the grind. ALSO don’t do what a ton of people do, don’t start trying to learn a bunch of cool tricks or crazy draw English shots. Learn the basics before all that. Nothing worse then a player that can nail a 8 rail bank consistently but when it comes to making a few stop shots they are useless!!!
@ well I appreciate not being horrible lol! Yeah I’m just trying to casually teach myself cue ball positioning while mainly focusing on improving my aim and decision making. I love pool ever since my dad introduced me to it and I still be using his sticks
@ that’s the same exact way I got into it! There is a mountain of shit to learn but you will get there. It’s a simple game that takes years and years to “master” except it’s pool so nobody has or will perfect it
Yeah, your guide hand shouldn't be so open.. your losing accuracy because you don't realize how much your cue can freely move. A tight thumb to index finger makes the cue shoot straight.
u should prob work on your bridge more sir
He’s practicing so where’s your gripe?
He needs to work on everything lmao
@@murahk123 see video evidence above that bro is practicing 🤦♂️ scrub

Damned. At the first moment I thought it was Shane. Then I noticed his bridge.

i sell brand new Meucci cues at a fraction of the price if you into getting a new cue. i'll beat ANY meucci dealers price guaranteed!!

Watching this gave me a headache.
@@murahk123 you just don’t trust the process
@ as long as you do, that’s all that matters
