I guess draw is too short of a word.
The best things to gain from any videos by this guy are common flaws most people don’t know they have. For example, watch how he readjusts his bridge hand while he is down on the shot, and then stays down and shoots. A lot of players do this, and it is a really bad habit. You really shouldn’t be repositioning your bridge hand without standing back up and resetting your aim. Also, you should learn a little bit about the game before calling yourself an “Expert” and making a shitty video.
I just looked at one of his magic the gathering videos and the comments are just like these. everyone complaining that this retard is out there teaching about shit he doesn’t understand
“backward english” Take this fucking video off now
you suck.
To have good draw on the cue ball press the shaft down on your bridge hand rather firm, then stroke through as fast as you humanly can to acheive max. draw
haha yea, and besides, he stood up after the last shot, didnt do a complete follow through at all
my cue has a wooden tip..does that help?
nice man nice ^^
lmao
His cueing is really bad, he strokes the cue and bam all of a sudden he shoots, thats not good.
god… bitch much?
he’s right but your problem probably also lies in the fact that your tip isn’t properly shaped or scuffed.
for those of you who care it’s called english because it was showed to us by the english. everywhere else in the world it’s called side. and to reiterate follow and draw, or top and bottom for you fish, are not english. only right and left are english.
Well, when you’re drawing the ball, if you replay it you’re essentially stopping the ball in it’s tracks and “drawing” a new course for it.
Top-English, Left-English, Right-English, Bottom-English. They’re just terms used in the game. Just like there are special terms for the right and left side of a boat.
Ok so if this is the case why do you have the terms draw and whatever you call topside over there if you could refer to them as “english”?
Why do you call it english anyway? It doesn’t make any sense. Left hand side, right hand side – makes sense!
why do you call it “english”
i am english
over here we call it “left” or “right” side.
to be more specific,its actually called left hand side or right hand side.
to pull the cue ball back its called “screwing” or “deep screwing” if you want to pull the cue ball back a long way and to make the cue ball follow through its called “top side” as opposed to left or right hand side.
Backward English? HAHAHAH WTF
very common question
little do people relaize that draw has less to do with how hard you hit and more to do with form.
concentrate on keeping the cue level
stroking through the shot
on you final back strke after all your sets
slow is down a bit, some people pull back to hard and fast and of set their cue position, even a small amount will affect your draw. i hope this helps,
keep practicing im sure you will get it
why does my cue jump sometimes off the table when i try to put too much force, otherwise it justs stuns..
Actually, putting english on a ball works on both horizontal and vertical axis’.
If you give the ball right hand english, you’re essentially giving it draw on the right side. It’s the same concept.
follow and draw are not english. you got action fish. people like you are the reason people can’t play pool. they’re listening to you and you can’t play. you don’t have a stroke but you’re the first person to offer advice.
Awesome Ty 😀
nice ;D
i allready knew this, but doesn’t help to perfect the shots 🙂 good explanation
