You're very welcome! Glad you like it 😊

One small addition to that first drill is to lay a cue on top of the rails, parallel to the line of balls, maybe three or four inches behind the line of balls. After the stroke, your shooting cue is underneath the one on the rails, and it becomes hard to just pop your body up after the shot. Of course, this addition addresses the pop up only, assuming it still exists after follow through training. New subscriber here, low intermediate level, but i still need to work to get better. Its hard because im old, and remember when i was pretty good. Now the eyes do t work as good, and it seems ive lost some flexibility, lol Thanks, Max.....

As usual Max, you are flawless in your delivery of both the cue, as well as your lessons and teaching criteria. These five SO important fundamentals here are absolutely paramount for becoming a great player. Great video!

Good stuff Max! The first one, stroking balls into the pocket without a cue ball is great, and something that can be revisited anytime my stroke is off. Thanks!

Well Sir this Video is probably the best i ve seen all these years. I am not a beginer also not a Pro but can run out a 9 ball game,8 ball game most of the time. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Swiss

Hey Max, It was wonderful catching up with you at Aloha a couple of weeks ago. So, do you give private lessons? Robert

Max what’s up man!? It’s been a while! You may not remember me but I ran into you in the bathroom at a tournament and I said what’s up Max then you stabbed me in the eye with a feather pen. It was very vivid for me. I thought it was weird that you even had a feather pen on you and it hurt immensely but I got over it. Anyways just seeing how you’re doing. Thanks for the memories buddy!

Thanks for calling this a SPORT. I am referree, and an avid student of the game. I have seen first hand the grind that you and other pros have to go through to get through a 12 hour day of tournament play. The casual fan has no idea the work involved to become a consistent professional player. I am amazed at every event that I work. Nice video for beginners.

I'm a little late to this video, but hey i found it. Max, this is a great video on the basics that most regular players do wrong. I for one did all those mistakes until a "pro-ish" friend of mine said, let's get it right and focus on that and only that. It's the best move I have ever done. So thanks for refreshing it for all of us. If I lived in America, I would get in touch with you and take some privat lessons, but as I live in Denmark, I will enjoy your work here on KZread. Again a big thanks, Max. PS. Sorry for my bad written english, I sure hope it makes a little sense. /Chris.

Zan Hybrid is the shit! Love my Zan

This reiterates a lot of the things Chris Reinhold went through with me when I did a lesson with him. I'm an APA 7 in 8-ball and 8 in 9-ball... but I'm streaky and make a mistake that other 7s/8s just don't make regularly in every other rack... usually a miss that a 7 has no business missing. I need to film myself to see if it's my bridge hand or body movement. My follow through and body alignment has gotten more consistent after the lesson... and I do notice when I rush a shot, and that was the cause... it's the shots that I miss and I know those 2 things were good that leave me questioning what I did wrong... Aim? Body movement? Didn't adjust enough for cut (or spin) induced throw? Bridge hand movement? Great video Max... subscribed

Based on what he has said, you two have a good relationship, and I feel you two would have a fantastic conversation. I hope it happens one day.
