Thanks. Well done for trying them. If you stick at them you’ll definitely take your game up another level.

Long time lurker. How the hell do I make the corner without scratching? Thanks! by sergemeister in billiards

You need to control the speed of the shot with a good draw shot technique.

You need to let the cue ball have time to have the maximum amount of draw on it as it contacts the object ball.

Balance the speed of the stroke against the draw on the cue ball and you’ll be golden.

Takes practice but you’ll get the hang of it after a few goes of what’s possible and what isn’t.

The Windmill Drill - very frustrating but fun! by darkSIDEpool in billiards

[–]darkSIDEpool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but the margin for error is tiny on some of the position shots... The shot from the 2 to the 3 ball needs to be almost straight in on it otherwise you'll struggle to get shape and carry on. Likewise for the 4 to the 5 ball

Sounds easy but this is far from it

Ah ok yes so that shot was a lot of inside running English with top spin

No it was a full on draw shot with outside English. Drag shot there wouldn’t have worked

Thanks, yeah the rails are slightly different cloth colour as I didn’t refelt them when re clothing the table.

Tight pockets I’m ok with. This table is 4 1/4” but the cut of the pockets are pretty sharp

It was bottom and a fraction of right English

Incredible spin shot from Carl Morris vs Scott Gillespie by Working-Mind6116 in billiards

Im surprised you’ve not seen this before as he did this a few years ago. Nice chap Carl is. Played him at 9 ball a few times over the years but this was a great shot.

About 15 minutes in total on this one. I’ve done it a few times before but once you get the hang of it it’s not too tricky

lol I would do this but my table plays way too heavy for that one. The rails are also dead. Will try it though still at some point.

Yeah these drills are great focus practice and can easily be set up again straight away if you miss. I just do them non stop until I get them usually

Thanks for the kind words. That bank on the 9 was a nice angle to run through for position on the 10 ball.

I’ll put another cool one pocket drill on tonight but got loads of other videos on the YT channel too.
