Very nice Mike, it comes off very clear, easy to follow and gets right to the point, the 8 minutes fly by. I'm jealous, I usually babble too much!

I also love the experiment you talked about that Ron Shepard did. Kind of goes with my theory of showing beginners or intermediate players how the game is ultimately played mentally or strategically before showing them how to build up their game physically.
 
Super job. How do you get the chalk off the table? I like the idea of marking the table - but I fear the chalk in the cloth will affect play. What do you think?

You always seem to offer new and interesting ways of looking at things, which is both refreshing and helpful. Thanks much for the video. Looking forward to the next part.

From a players point of view......I do many things that just feel right! You have a great way of explaining why the things I do are a natural way of playing.

Keep up the great work!

Excellent video, thank you. As someone just getting back into playing and taking it seriously this is a great fundamental lesson to learn and I definitely learned a few things watching this.
 
Great video. I knew all this stuff in the back of my head but this really simplifies it.

I would love to see some videos like this on 9 ball patterns, 9 ball breaking and safes. Also keys to playing runout barbox 8 ball.

It seems like most instructors these days don't teach anything that you can use on the table. All they do is try to change you're stroke and stance or how to kick 2, 3, 4 or 5 rails.
 
mnShooter...Not true! You can find all kinds of pool instructors, who can show you A-Z about pattern play, etc. The good ones make sure you have a repeatable stroke beforehand, so that you can actually accomplish those shots and patterns, on demand, under pressure...rather than only once in a while, because you can't stroke the CB accurately. Are you saying that it's of no value to understand how to accurately kick at shots, via 1, 2, or 3 rails? :confused: Good players would likely disagree with you on that point.
