Your Average Pool Player - Kamui Brand

[Poodle of Doom]

Has anyone on here taken the time to watch through the Kamui Brand YouTube channel? More specifically, has anyone taken the time to watch the "Your Average Pool Player" series?

What do you all think of them? Personally, I like the way Rollie Williams goes about analyzing the shots. I think I've taken more away from his videos than I have most instructional videos. And just as much, and sometimes more, from his videos than I have most people who've tried to give me advice.

Check them out here:

Yes. These are very cool. It's amazing how quickly an average player can duplicate some of these shots.

This is inspiring to me. As your progress graph plateaus it's easy to decide some things are just beyond your capabilities. Watching this challenges me.

This aligns with a new rule I've been telling myself: I don't get to get frustrated that a certain shot isn't working for me until I've practiced it daily for a few weeks. Until I do that I have to blame my lack of discipline, and not act like a victim that wasn't born with enough talent.

Absolutely. I like how he explains everything, almost like he's trying to give you an approach to doing it on your own. At the same time, he cuts to the chase, and explains everything in such a way that you could go out and make attempts at doing it without nearly as much experimentation.

I also like the fact that most of these shots, save for the last one (being a jump shot), have practical applications elsewhere in the game. I could see most of these concepts being taken advantage of, and being used to step up a persons game.

This is inspiring to me. As your progress graph plateaus it's easy to decide some things are just beyond your capabilities. Watching this challenges me.

I also thing the simplistic analytical approach makes it inspiring. There is a technique to his analysis that is easy to replicate. This is great for the run of the mill pool player.

I have the same rule. Also, I don't accept the fact that I can't even when I have practiced for days and weeks at a time. If someone else can do it, so can I. Plain and simple. Just because I can't get it in practice doesn't mean a thing.

Practice doesn't make perfect. Practice makes permanent. It's perfect practice that makes perfect permanent.

I liked his little dance that he does from time to time. I actually wouldn't mind seeing them produced a little more often. I understand, from a production standpoint, why it takes so long though.
