Do you want to learn more about your stroke?

I recently provided @darkSIDEpool with the requested video. Well, two since the first take I didn't realize he was looking for a draw shot and not a stop. Totally my fault for not paying attention. He was super responsive and understanding the entire exchange.

In terms of the feedback, I really like that it's a combination of both the OP's analysis backed by AI's data collection. He's created a billiards tool which adds quantified feedback. Yes, going through a single shot 100s of time provides quantifiable feedback, but the AI tool record how consistently something is happening, like stroke delivery speed on every single try. I appreciate having both his insight as well as the data collected.

There were a few suggestions related to my setup that I am going to try to incorporate to see if helps with a consistency issue I have. I'll update as I give it a go. As with any change, it may lead to a learning curve if I've been compensating for the shortcoming, but I understand what the suggestions are supposed to help improve. Looking forward to seeing if they help.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind feedback...

It's great looking at all the cue actions and subtle variances of players.

I've just been looking at a father daughter combination and once again the system has thrown up some interesting observations that regular in person coaching probably wouldn't have spotted.

Let me know how it goes with your game going forward

Questions for Instructors/Coaches

W
At any level, the best path to imptovement is addressing the biggest weakneas.

For Neils Feijen, many years into a successful pro career, that meant a deep dive into safety battles with Alex Lely. And poof, he became world champion shortly after.

A couple of years ago while commentating on a world championship after getting eliminated, Krause mentioned that he needed to work on solidifying his stance because he found himself shaking in pressure moments.

So the answer is...it depends. Different players have different strengths and weaknesses and each will serve themselves best by closely observing the patterns in their own performance to identify areas they need to improve in most. Once addressed, on to the next one.

Why is running English always (or at least usually) used for multi rail kicks?

Seems like you might get the same result by altering where you contact the first rail. I'm sure that I don't know why, but surely there must be a reason.

Just try predicting the outcome of some two, three, four, five rail kicks with inside and you will have your answer, lol.

Myth or real - Stroke smoothness as a requisite for certain shots

—“There are situations where a particular stroke works better than others. The old players had multiple strokes in their bag of tricks, roughly the equivalent of the golfer's bag of clubs. Mosconi used at least three strokes, more if you broke them down precisely.”

I completely reject the premise that some strokes work better than others, and this is Exactly the idea that I am trying to squash. They are all equivalent if your impulse vector is equivalent.

A horrible jab stroke is equivalent to a long accelerating stroke if you produce the same impulse.

I won’t say more since I’ve answered the OPs question for him. Stay warm!

Just curious: are you like a 100 ball runner or maybe a 700 FR?

Thoroughly enjoy playing on a Bigfoot table, easier to pocket balls, but familiarity with 9ft plays havoc with shape for a hot minute. I think it's a good watch, but not if I have to pay.

Familiarity with a 10' er should take uh, no time? Well not very much time anyway. Last big table I got to practice on mighta been in the 80s or 90s. There was one room a couple hundred miles away had two 12' ers as well.

Gotta stand on the 6 ball effect. 10 ball outs are easier than straight pool so add way more space and the skill level plummets.

Maybe. Don't ask me to prove this. :ROFLMAO:
