Smart and Effective POSITION off RAIL CUT SHOTS

[dr_dave]

FYI, pro player Tin Man (Demetrius Jelatis) and I just posted a new video that demonstrates smart and effective ways to get position off rail cut shots. Check it out:

Contents (with timestamp links):
0:00 – Intro
0:25 – Full Hit
1:02 – Thin Hit
2:24 – Bad Option Scatter
3:32 – Good Option Scatter
4:40 – Position Play Example
5:50 – Wrap Up

As always, I look forward to your feedback, comments, questions, complaints, and requests.

Enjoy!

Thank you, and you're welcome. We spent 2 full days filming several videos, so stay tuned for more.

Dave, thank you for the outstanding job bringing this video to life. The content in this video is something I've wanted to share for a while. You put it together exactly the way I had hoped. Sometimes when you're watching a video the player shoots better on the table than you can in your mind. Well, when it comes to content creation you have outdone yourself, this is better than I could have imagined it!

To anyone else who watches this video, I encourage you to start paying attention to scatter. Good players know many ways to get from point A to point B. Great players know which routes have better scatters, and play to leave themselves those angles. Consistency doesn't just come from fundamentals or time on the table, it comes from knowing how to build runs with consistent cue ball maneuvers.

I'm glad you like the final product Demetrius. I already started working on the 2nd video, and I think you might like it even better. I'm glad we spent the 2 days together filming. We worked on some good stuff together and I look forward to editing and producing the videos over the next few weeks.

Well stated!

Nice job showing the large dispersion of the hard stun shot.

Thanks. I'll try to use this more in future videos. It is a good practice technique.

A lot of people commenting on YouTube really liked the "scatter plot" graphics comparing the small-angle stun to the larger-angle follow. I'll try to do this more with other shot-option situations in the future since people seem to relate to it well.

Nice work, Dave. Count me among those who like the CB position "scatter" comparisons - a highly intuitive and memorable way to illustrate an important point.
