Honestly, I would be embarrassed to include some of my bad misses in a YouTube video. And I don't see any instructional purpose in showing them if the only reason for the miss was loss of focus or careless aim. Most people already know a lot about how to do this. I would rather provide advice on how to not miss, like in this video:

This is always been one of my favorites of yours.

But it doesn’t work. I still miss. 😂

I’ll watch these, but since I don’t see them listed, excellent small table runouts will include:

- pocketing balls up table from the short side
- small side pocket woes and goes
- advanced pocket cheating

Agreed and I like that video as well. But it's helpful to my self confidence to know that you are running out 20 percent of the time and that your video was the best of an afternoon of play. So although my skills are medicore in comparison, improvement isn't impossible.

This video wasn’t meant to provide examples of everything, but I do have a future video planned to cover all bar box strategy differences. I’ll be sure to include this sort of thing there. Thanks.
 
Did you ever get around to checking out the 8ball break on older cloth? Specifically breaking from further off the rail as I had success with.

I have not. Most of the bar boxes around here are kept in good shape by the local VNEA people and bar owners.

He probably meant to add the picture to his post in the "How do you train for endurance" thread.


How do you train for endurance?

One thing I’m struggling with recently is keeping myself alert and focused for long tournaments. Towards the end my performance plateaus and I miss easy shots. I notice this with opponents too if I play them twice on the same day, either one will make unexpectedly dumb mistakes. More than...

Nice video and unlike a lot of other instructional video's(not yours) you kept the talking to a minimum and to the point.
Good job.
