How to become a better pool player

Why does nobody ever talk about the hip hinge instead of bending at the back improved my game 10 fold

That looks like a one piece cue, I could be wrong. Can you tell us about it?

I always thought my tip was a bit big, been holding the cue back to front😅 thanks.

Great tip thank you I am practically blind with no central vision so can't see where I actually contact the White when I contact the White

This was sensational. Thanks Gaz.

Excellent for chiming the peanut shots over the rails time after time - thanking you Mr Putts

I really appreciate the information 😎

Speak properly! Enunciate the T sound in the word ‘bottom’. Lazy English.

Ive always played like that as in it came naturally. Thats exactly how i have become from early messups so you mold yourself to using the bridge in place. I do see some players even some pros having a claw like grip bridge hand and it infuriates me especially on these fast snooker tables or pool tables as the slightest of deviation and its off. Good video though 👍

Great lesson on important fundamentals!

Setting the bridge height/parallel cue like that is something nobody ever taught me. I put it into practice last night and was able to make the cue ball dance around the table with top more than I ever have before. Things just got interesting, thanks!

Awesome

Wow amazing video, no one else explained this. Thank you. Hopefully now I can kick my wifes butt in pool.

How to train your chest? Lol

I got the message about the bridge hand in the first 30 seconds, I didn't need it repeated ad infinitum for half the video.

Open n close motion with the grip hand - say no more!

But Rocket Ronnie doesn't 😅

This is all well and good IF you have a thumb to rest upon. I don't, I use my knuckles in the same way and to great effect. Adapt, compromise and overcome

This is brilliant I don’t think a lot of us realise what we have been doing wrong for years untill now . Usually just get down and play 😂

Nice explanation! And I like the way you say “Bottom” 😂😂😂😂

Thanks man love it

Gareth reminds me of "Bald and Bankrupt" but with hair lol

This video needs more views! Great lesson.

After all that about griping the back of the cue with four fingers then releasing them as you draw back and re-gripping as you move forward, he does none of that in the shot. Watch his hand carefully, nothing.

Thank you sir, I will follow your advice

I like this. Now I see

Thanks Gareth. I know my bridge is my weak area and truly appreciate your awesome tips!!!

Brilliant tips 🎉

Becoming a better pool player 'always' start with the fundamentals. The bangers start with pocketing balls.

Nice play n discuss idol keep on tutorial of playing billards tnx more vlogs n god bless

Cool story bro 👍

Gareth, SUPERB video, thanks.

What a great video, awesome work Gareth. So easy to understand and really helpful

Hi Mister Potts, you forgot explain what to do with foots

🎯💯

Brilliant

awesome technique education, i don't think anyone has ever coached on this before

If you cant pot balls on a pool table just give up. End of lesson.

what do you think of players who put their chin on the cue? is this a good thing or not?..thanks.

This have instantly improved my game. I come back from time to time to watch this, cuz when the pressure is too much I tend to forget. I have mad problems with my grip? It’s not loose enough and I don’t follow thru with my shots as I’d like

Thank you very much Gareth.

Never liked the way many American players wrap their finger around the cue rather than the v bridge

Gosh i saw this late........very helpful

Perhaps you can add on tutorial the loop bridge as there are certain shots where the v shape is not effective

I’ve found how far back or forward your you hold your cue (I’ve seen some professionals back hand right at the back of the cue, some closer to the balance point- both have the 90 degree angle) makes a big difference, which is better?

Hey gareth let's play some one pocket I think I can beat you it's the best pool game

Thank you so much mr Potts

Thanks, Gareth!

to simple. There are times you have to elevate the back of your cue. You see it in every pro match. To draw the cue ball back when on or close to the rail your have to jack up the back of your cue.

Thanks.
