I need help with position play.

[motic]

Can someone recommend any good DVDs for position play and identifying patterns. I'm really struggling or just dont have the brain power or attention span to look ahead lol.

The legends DVDs, Nick Varner and Buddy Hall cover 8 ball, 9 ball, one pocket or straight pool.
Pick your DVD.. They walk you through the racks..
I have them thru the link below and there are reviews on here

Thanks, those look great.

Max Eberle at his Pro Pool Academy website does some stuff as well. 8,9 and 10 ball explains his thought process as he is running out the racks.

Think he just put out a new dvd too.

Position play

Try this drill. Put 3 balls on the table, start with ball in hand, and run them out. If you can do 3 go to 4, then 5. The better players typically look for trouble spots, and the look about 3 balls ahead,

For position play I highly recommend Bert Kinister's

Tight Pockets 60-Minute Workout for 9-Ball. This will teach you how to get from one ball to another, to another, and to another in the pattern. It teaches feel.

For pattern play the earlier posters have recommended the best.

For position play only, look at
Lil Joe's DVDS. They are the nutz.
