In this episode, Tor continues working with junior champ to be, Karsyn Renae Terry, in Chicago. Watch Karsyn play the ghost on day one. As is common with many junior players, recognizing patterns is determined to be an area in which she needs some focus. Tor works with Karsyn on pattern play and begins to work with her to improve her knowledge of various shots and cue ball positioning. Watch Karsyn learn how hitting certain parts of the pocket can change the path of the cue ball.
Besides being absolutely delightful, and having great fundamentals, Karsyn is a very fast learner. In only two days, she demonstrates great improvement in moving the cue ball around the table with less effort.
Karsyn has great potential, possibly a championship in her near future, but if she is to win a national championship, Tor knows she's going to have to raise her game by 2-3 balls.
Cheer her on as Karsyn continues working toward her great pool objectives! Tor truly believes in Karsyn and as said before, will do anything to help her realize her dream, as long as she maintains her commitment to diligent practice. Tor continues being super impressed by the coaching results achieved by Karsyn's father, Patrick!
Watch for upcoming episode - Part Two of Interview with Mark Wilson, Captain of 2014 Mosconi Cup; a solid recommendation to buy 'Play Great Pool,' Mark's book, and an awesome interview with pool legend, Robert Byrne!

Here it is, Tor Lowry's interview of the legendary Robert Byrne! Many pool enthusiasts own Robert's many great and acclaimed pool instructional books and videos,

In this video interview, Robert shows us his incredible collection of pool memorabilia; his numerous awards and trophies and more!
Listen to Robert's great pool stories about pool legends we all know, including Minnesota Fats and Willie Mosconi.
Tor loved his time with Robert Byrne and considers him to be, not just extremely knowledgeable, but also humorous and delightful as a person! At age 84, Robert Byrne still has a great deal to offer to all pool enthusiasts. Be sure to check out more about the life of Robert Byrnes - he's fascinating; a truly great person.
Watch for other great interviews, video tours and more to come - there's something awesome for every pool enthusiast, including the training progress of many more participants (past, present and future) on '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment!'

Begin post:
In this episode, Tor travels to Boston, Massachusetts to train two determined pool players - Richard Connors, Jr., and Tinh Ly. Watch Richard, who wasn't trusting his stroke, learn a completely new stance and how to play using correct angles. Tor trains him in a very cool pool room, Amazin' Billiards in Malden, Massachusetts - owned by pool champion Mazin Shooni!
Tor teaches Richard how to stroke through the cue ball, rather than just try to power the cue ball around the table. Richard learns a "softer" stroke for better draw and killing the cue ball. Tor teaches Richard how to minimize angles using a nice draw stroke as he works with him on both half-table and full-table pattern play. Tor emphasizes cue ball control and playing correct angles, They also work on Richard's identified problem shots.
Meet Tinh Ly - very determined to play better - you'll see more of his progress in an upcoming episode. Be introduced to Tim Stewart and Brandon Grablachoff, both of New Jersey, and be prepared to see them progress in an upcoming episode!
Watch an interview with Tom McGonagle, a very accomplished pool player who is in the New England 9-Ball 'Hall of Fame' for winning the New England 9-Ball Championships for 3 consecutive years, among other great pool achievements and titles! Tom is also the author of 'Right on Cue,' a fictional, poignant tale about billiards and love, whose main characters are pool players. This book is jam packed with pool action and more interesting, given its story line! You can obtain this book at amazon.com and searching for it's title, 'Right on Cue,' or on Tom's website at: tommcgonaglerightoncue.com Tom plans to play in the Senior Division of the upcoming BCA Nationals!
Be sure to tune in for more training episodes of '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' as Tor continues his 20 city tour! We have some awesome participants coming up to reveal their progress in training, both from the 2013 season and the current season!
You also won't want to miss some exciting interviews on upcoming episodes, including a remarkable female pool player, contests with great prizes and announcements about what you can expect from Tor Lowry in the way of new releases of instructional material and his national search for a young pool protégé to potentially receive free training for up to 30 days at no charge!

14 Days in North Carolina, New Jersey and New York
Posted here with permission from Zero-X
Begin Post:
In this episode, '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' participant, David Styers, of North Carolina, learns how he's been focused on being a committed "student of the game, not a student of his own game." David aspires to compete at a higher level, even professionally.
Tor assists David in pinpointing his weaknesses through ball pocketing drills and pattern plan, encouraging him to "know his own game." Through working on various positional shots; identifying and overcoming problem shots, David learns how he can customize his own practice sessions for maximum results. As is common with many players, Tor identified that David was often choosing more difficult pattern run-outs than necessary.
In this full one hour episode, Tor and David begin with half-table pattern play, playing cue ball for position. Tor encourages David to "demand more out of his own game."
In Western New York, Tor is seen working with a very advanced player in Nick Brucato, who runs the Western New York Pool Tour. He determines that Nick, whom has won several high level pool tournaments, was programmed to use spin on far too many shots than necessary, when playing position. Additionally, Nick's center was actually determined to be just right of center. By correcting this, Nick became more precise in moving the cue ball around the table. He does great at getting a handle on his angles and speed control.
This episode is jam packed with great pool education! And that is precisely what '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' is about! Watch as Tor works with some participants on effective use of the tangent line, thinking out patterns multiple balls in advance, committed practice drills and the elimination of problem shots.
Watch Tor continue his training with New Jersey participants, Brandon Grablachoff and Tim Stewart! Tor encourages both of them to commit at least half of their practice time to working on identified problem areas in their games. By doing so, he's convinced they will no longer struggle when it comes to playing position. Watch them as they work on full-table
pattern play, beginning with 3 ball patterns and working their way to 9 ball patterns!
Stances are corrected to achieve more stability for some of these players. They work diligently on ball pocketing drills and playing for cue ball position. Fine tuning their fundamentals was an important aspect of their training.
Watch as Tor expands their ability to move the cue ball around the table and how he teaches one player to strike object balls as thinly as possible, even using obstacle balls to achieve identified goals.
Watch these players work on half-table pattern play, gaining a better understanding of how to move the cue ball around the table without the use of English and then slowly introduce English back into their games! In Tor's words, "practice your weaknesses until your weaknesses become your greatest strengths!"
Tor encourages these players to closely monitor their own games and understand, as is the case with all players, that "their weaknesses will always be a part of their game until they decide to do something about it!"
In Tor's words, "continue being, not just a student of pool, but a student of your own game!" In doing so, you'll be on your way to becoming the pool monster you want and deserve to be!
Stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring participants from North Carolina, New York City, Louisiana, Minnesota, and other great states!

Thanks for posting. Is it 24 hours from the time you posted the link? I'm trying to make time today to watch all 4 hours.
Tor is, in my opinion, the best instructor out there.

Thanks! This is fantastic. I've only watched about an hour so far, but the quality of instruction, explanation, and production quality is incredible. Far superior to other instructional videos I've watched. It's honestly the first time I've watched a video instruction that I didn't feel was lacking in some way. I will buy this when it becomes available.

Pool Biggest Secrets lll Final Cut
Posted here with permission of Zero-X
We know Tor Lowry dislikes it when we promote in any way his products, because he believes we should primarily promote YOU, the players of the great game of pool. We've been told many times that self-promotion is "boastful," but since we also know Tor is the kindest most forgiving person ever...we're sticking our neck out, knowing the worst that will happen is that he will give us the "boastful" speech again!
wink emoticon
We can take it!
Here's why we're so proud of Tor's latest release of 'Pool's Biggest Secrets Revealed III,' besides the fact that it does represent Tor's greatest work!
Tor's team is a small group, but most of us love playing pool, and he gives us FREE lessons! Yes, we know we're very lucky! At some point, we're all given opportunities to be with him on his '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' tour - yes we know we're lucky! Some of us are not very good at pool, in fact one of us once damaged Tor's favorite Viking cue that he had played with for years, in a struggle between the cue and a ceiling fan...not saying who!
And, a couple of us are learning very fast from him how to be much better players. Tor teaches us on breaks while we're working as a team. As much as we LOVE his lessons, we are unanimous in that we love his life lessons even more! Someday, we want to share more about those very lessons too, because YOU will love them as well, because he teaches us how to apply those life lessons to pool! We keep telling him he should write a book and include those, along with other things we've picked up as important to all pool players.
Anyway, back to promotion...we want to tell you what is in Tor's new release! We know many saw a portion of it during the rough cut and final cut premiere parties, but what nobody saw during those is awesome - some of which is in the final hour (5th) that Tor added to the release! Here's what else is in his awesome (best work ever) release of 'Pool's Biggest Secrets Revealed III!'
8 BALL STRATEGY - 35 MOST COMMON SAFETIES - ADVANCED FUNDAMENTALS - DO OR DIE SHOTS - PATTERN PUZZLES - HALF TABLE PATTERN PLAY - BREAKDOWN OF ACTUAL TOP PLAYER RUNOUTS - JUMP SHOTS RAIL SHOTS - SLIDING CUE BALL - ROLLING CUE BALL - HIGH ACTION - LOW ACTION - MAX SPIN - COMBINATIONS - BACKWARD CUT SHOTS - EXTREME KILL SHOTS FULL TABLE PATTERN PLAY - DEFENSIVE SHOTS - SLIDING CUE BALL SAFETIES - 10 BALL STRATEGY - BREAK SHOT - FILIPINO SAFETY - GAME PLAN FOR SUCCESS - IMPOSSIBLE BANK SHOT 2 - BALL POCKETING DRILLS - CENTER BALL POSITIONING - AUTOMATIC AIMING - VERTICAL STROKE SHOT - MASSE SHOT - ENGLISH EFFECTS - FROZEN THROW SHOTS - FINE TUNE AIMING - POSITION OFF OBSTACLE BALLS - JUMP MASSE SHOTS - COMBINATIONS
We know this is long and we anticipate the "boastful" talk again, but we're proud of this, just as we should be! And, Tor may not yet know this, but we're proud of him and we actually LOVE the "boastful" talk - we view it as a life lesson! So, we consider this more of a celebration, just like the premiere, rather than a promotion, and we know Tor believes in "celebrations," that's why he loved hosting a premiere of nearly his entire release; why he offers so much that is FREE on YouTube and why he takes so much of his valuable time to teach us to play pool well. We look forward to the day when one of us actually plays in a real tournament and WINS because of the great lessons we've received! Now that's worth celebrating, isn't it? Yay! We love Tor and we love all of his instructional videos!
WATCH THIS TRAILER FOR 'POOL'S BIGGEST SECRETS REVEALED III!' IT'S NOTHING LESS THAN AWESOME!

The Great Pool Experiment Reality Show in 3rd Year
Please visit the Zero-X face book page.
Juliana is setting the bar very high as the first '14 Days - The Great Pool Experiment' participant this season! 1152 stroke drill shots, numerous ball pocketing drills, hours of practice, sore muscles...looks like nothing's going to keep this determined, young lady from reaching her personal best! And that, our passionate pool playing friends, is what determination and a "never gonna quit" attitude will do for you!
Tor has corrected Juliana's alignment and stance, so she looks much more solid. She completed her necessary stroke drill shots and they are now working on ball pocketing drills, using center high. Soon, they'll advance to consistent half-table pattern play and Juliana does nothing but get even more determined and excited. As Tor has told his Zero-X Team members many times - "when I see this level of determination in a pool player, and they continue forward with increased zeal and focus, I know I've chosen well."
Eleven days to go and we already know Juliana is going to go the distance! We already know she's going to meet or exceed her objectives for her participation and training days with Tor! We already know Juliana is going to see a great deal of improvement to her game, and we predict some future tournament wins for her!
We're so excited for her and can't wait to see the final result! Tor said before this season began, "No matter who the first participant is, I want them to set the bar very high," and that is exactly what she's doing! We're excited to see how far she'll go and we're excited for you to see her transformation, so please continue to cheer her on!
Have Fun
