    what a good question medsas but I don’t feel like taking the time to articulate the answer

  7. runoutman on July 22, 2010 at 1:15 pm

    I agree this guy is a douche but carom billiards is just another form of billiards like pocket billiards so don’t get all snooty with a little piece of info on a subject you don’t know anything about

    lol sounds like he’s either drunk or american pretending to be a ‘pool’ player

    funny shit :p

    There is a lot a damaging information out there for learning this game such as from this guy. Beware folks! Search for quality billiard instruction.

    dude loads of world class players have that bridge. I my self use the snooker text book bridge holding my thumb on my knuckle for the cue to rest on. It is where ever you feel comfortable cueing.

  12. mattdeshotels on July 22, 2010 at 3:49 pm

    MrXeno you sound like an idiot. The type of bridge that it used by a player is all about being comfortable. I have never seen you playing BILLIARDS or, as drunks and Americans call it POOL, on television before so what in your right mind would allow you to judge someone who is giving a very simple technique that probably 80% of the players I coached started off doing.

  13. MrXenophobe on July 22, 2010 at 4:15 pm

    This says BILLIARDS ??? lessons for beginners ??? LOL Billiards is a WHOLE different game. And a VERY skilled one at that. This is POOL. A very simple game played by drunks and Americans 😉 And that first bridge he shows whereby the cue goes through a “hole” made with his index finger has got to be the worst possible way of holding a cue for a shot. Bar holding it with your feet of course 😉

    here ill sum up the hole thin talk for 5 mins move the cue talkes some more and repeat for a bout an hour

  15. Arsenal786Ali on July 22, 2010 at 5:21 pm

    give the guy some credit man

  16. Medsas on July 22, 2010 at 5:46 pm

    if you shoot with right/left english, do you move your bridge hand to match the contact point? or you keep your bridge hand in the center of the ball and shoot “sideways”?

  17. Blindside453 on July 22, 2010 at 6:07 pm

    What about putting spin on it? Aren’t you supposed to angle the cue a little for like backspin or keep it level and hit it low?

  18. flyfly4u on July 22, 2010 at 6:49 pm

    what are all the different types of pool, ( the games)? where can I find out how to set up the balls in the rack?how do you know where to put the cue ball after you have made it in to one of the holes and you take it back out?

  19. bostonfanatic001 on July 22, 2010 at 7:23 pm

  21. BClub on July 22, 2010 at 8:14 pm

    Check out Pool’s TV Network.

  22. philipcwelch on July 22, 2010 at 9:10 pm

    Important lesson but he never explains why you need a level cue. If the cue is not level you will have a tendancy to masse the cueball and it will not follow a straight path and will not strike the object ball in the spot you were intending.

  23. Psaenz93 on July 22, 2010 at 9:51 pm

    that really depends on the way you do it if you dont do it that way like me this dont help shiet

  24. eightballhero on July 22, 2010 at 10:41 pm

    mmmmm take one shot at a time, this will give players time to work it out. Also the terminology for players raising the cue at the back is called “Seasawing” common habit for many players

    All these videos are really useful and have helped me improve my game. But it looks like he gets plastered before he makes these videos.
