You are the best pool teacher on KZread, your honesty is refreshing. Thanks for taking the time, your great ambassador to the sport.

Probably the most valuable video I've ever seen to boost my 9 ball game. Happens to be exactly what's missing from my aresenal.

Niels.. I really can`t tell you how much I love your videos and tutorials. One of the best explanations and the easiest one`s to digest. Always on point, and always being honest on the results. showing that even world champions don`t make it in the first try sometimes. Really awesome work, one of my favorite youtubers channels to follow, regarding pool. Keep it up man!

Great content, as always. Thanks Niels!

thank you so much for sharing. what I love most is your honesty like when you said it was your third try. that is why even a pro like you says practice practice practice. I love that you said get a feel from different angles and practice. you are awesome.

Great shots!! And thank you so much for your honesty!

A small donation for all your excellent videos and the knowledge you share! A true bargain at that!

Hey Niels, thank you so much for you videos. I've already learned a lot and my club mates always want to play with me :D I tell them a lot from your videos and try to think like a pro player. Thanks for your effort!

I have watched a lot of your videos. Great stuff. Very useful information presented in a easy to understand style. I also really appreciate it when you are honest and say that it took you a few attempts to do it successfully. I like that much better than a perfectly edited video where it makes it look like you never miss anything. It helps remind me that even the top players have to still work at these things and are not perfect either. Keep doing what you are doing.

I have found playing reverse pool has dramatically improved my vision on the precision roll type safety. By pocketing balls off the cue ball, your vision of cueball trajectory greatly improves these safety plays. Cheers.

Played the half-ball hit on the 8-ball in a game league game last week. My opponent missed the bank and I won the game! I knew about the 45 degree separation when a half ball hit, but playing with the spin you showed makes the shot much more reliable.

I did the 4 square training once a few months back and my safety game rocketed immediately in my next tournament. I did few of my absolute top safeties just like that.

Excelente Sensei...

Thanks for all the great instruction Niels, I really have learned a lot watching your videos. One thing that would help me, is if you would play the safety then take the ball in hand and run out.

Awesome content bro. Easy enough to put in the daily training, yet a very effective addition. When your not a pro, some drills can be daunting. But this one can be used by lower level, up to advanced players. Have you ever considered making modules for the I.C.A. system. It is the system that connects to a projector. It projects drills onto your pool table, for easy set up. I think you could come up with some awesome modules. Thanks for providing us with valuable KZread content and have a great day. 🎱

Gotta be able to play safe and be disciplined when your head is telling you to take the shot. Shot number 5 the last attempt? Virtually every player intermediate and above, especially players at your level will cross bank that shot every time. As always, great stuff.

Good stuff. One safety option I see come up a lot is when the object ball is just past the side pocket in such a way that if you play it in the corner you scratch in the side and if you play it in the side you scratch in the corner. Comes up all the time. The safety is a full hit with follow. The cueball follows to the middle of the end rail and the object ball travels 4-5 rails to the middle of the other end rail. That's saved me more than a few times.

Hi there! Always great content. I’m curious on what the response shot would be for the split shot(assuming no blocker balls). Where both cb and object ball near rail but no bank is on. I would love to see your responses if you were the incoming player on these safeties

@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen

2 жыл бұрын

Then it would be kind of like shot nr 5 if you’re not hooked 👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼😄

It's always about white ball's direction, target ball's direction and force. But you need this video to imagine how to play in hard situation.

Hey I got a question on the second safety you did when the one ball was by the rail couldn’t your opponent bank it into the side?

the best

​ @Niels The Terminator Feijen I am 6'5" (roughly 2M) tall and my hands are quite large. I asked for a Longoni glove for Christmas, and the biggest one is still a bit too small. Is there a larger glove than the XL? Thank you sir!

Die laatste is mooi....met dat schot al eens gewonnen van een veel betere speler.. Elke keer als ik geen uit zag een safety leggen.. Was een spannende partij.

@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen

Top!! 👍🏼😄🔥

Niels, which drills or competencies would you recommend mastering in terms of safeties for 7' barbox play. I realize most principles still apply and the ultimate goal is mastering 9 ft tables, but here in Texas we have a lot of Diamond bar boxes and safeties that emphasize leaving alot of space between balls or leaving bank shots is alot less effective because of the higher success rate of making tough shots on an easier table... Even 1 or 2 rail kicks against good players give a decent chance to a solid 600+ Fargo rated player. Obviously the goal is even more run out pool on barboxes but my observation is that the most successful amateur players in these tournaments can run out effectively but are superior to their opponent in kicks and safeties when they are needed. You probably don't have a barbox to demonstrate some stuff but I can tell you that some specific barbox advice would be wildly popular with American players. Luckily here in DFW we have the privilege of seeing most of the best barbox players on the planet roll through our area often. Thank you for all your videos, absolutely incredible content and it's helped my game tremendously!

@NielsTheTerminatorFeijen

Thank you!! To be honest I’m not a Barbox expert. I think hooking your opponent is a must on a bar table cause most shots can be made 👍🏼👍🏼

At the position which is on the table at min. 2.40, what safety I can play? (of course, if I cannot bank în the middle)

Está muy bueno pero si estuviera en español fuera excelente

RE: the safety at 5:26? Why don't you shoot a three-rail bank using a stun run-through shot? ... and leaving the cue ball in the back of the 5 and 6 wall? Even if you miss, you leave the one ball on the short rail. It looks like all you really have to worry about is your speed. I generally do this all the time and wind up screwing myself because the one ball generally hits too hard and sneaks out the back door. LOL! What's your opinion Niels?
