I’ve taken lessons from *name drop* Mark Wilson, Nick Varner, and Jeremy Jones. And this guy is honestly top tier instructor. A lot of guys miss breaking down techniques and foundations. Yet this man does a supreme job of it. One of my favorite online instructors.

So many teachers just want you to do tricky tough shots instead of real pool knowledge

Marks is an excellent teacher with experience instructing college students. However, many champions from that era didn't learn the techniques in the same structured way that players do today. During that time, players didn't have access to modern resources like KZread, and sharing knowledge was discouraged rather than embraced. Most of those champions, even those with natural talent started at a very early age and primarily developed their skills through countless hours of solitary practice, honing shots, banks, kicks, and table movement until they became second nature. It's like asking someone how they walk; the process is so ingrained that it's difficult to articulate. Unless they have taken the time to consciously break down their techniques into steps, they may inadvertently omit crucial details when giving instructions.

@@skitto6554 I highly agree. A lot of gate keeping but a lot of amateur pool players are too hard head to seek an instructor so they stay at the same level for YEARS. I’ve seeked those instructors and have been blessed.

👍👊 I teach this principle to all of my students.

Dude! You Earned my subscription. Incredible way of teaching a concept I’d 100% consider fundamentals. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos. Thank you!!

I’ve really drilled this a ton, plus putting out the 6 or 7 balls, assigning a pocket each one has to go to, run out percentage went way up.

How do you figure 22, or 27, on the rail? Even if, at home, you have a measured-tape system stuck to your table, you're not going to have that at a hall or tornament table.

Even though Tor is using his multiyear exprerience to intuitively calculate the cut angle needed to hit a specific point on the rail there is a reliable system to do the same for cuts up to half ball. its called the follow system and there are multiple online resources for it. i would love for Tor to also put a section for it in this older video of his.

I was wondering about this. How to do it. I mean using a stun shot no matter where you place the cue ball it will do the tangent line, but then one can have follow or draw, English shouldn’t affect it (as far as I’ve understood) until it hits a rail, so this doesn’t seem all that easy. I’ll take you advice and Google the follow system to see what this is about. Clearly it’s a good tool to have.
