If you were initially standing directly behind the line, it'll pass through your groin area. So how do you then place the cue on that line and on your right leg at the same time. That is without moving your right leg slightly to the left...which will in my case also slightly move my eye position to the left.

@@aliyushuaibu689 Hopefully Neils will reply to this. In my experience and teaching and observing many top players, there are 3 ways to stand behind the ball at address, and I see #1 and #2 the most often. 1 - As Neils said, stand with back leg (right for right handers), grip hand, and head behind the shot line. To get your head on the line, you need to lean over your back leg by unweighting somewhat and just shifting your upper body over 6 - 8 inches. I can't see in this video if Neils does this, would have to watch some other videos and wait for camera angle to be correct. I also show this on one of my instructional videos on alignment, it's very easy to see this with mysef and many of the top players 2 - As above, but instead of standing square to the shot some players stand at more of a 30 to 45 degree angle, still with back leg and grip hand on shot line. By standing at an angle, they can sort of lean back into their back leg a bit more and their head is more naturally placed on the shot line without having to lean over. Players that do this generally do not step forward with their rear leg but are already in place distance-wise and just step forward with their front foot while keeping head on the shot line on the way down 3 - I do see some top players stand square as you mention, but in this case normally the back leg and grip hand are not on the shot line but slightly to the right and head/chest/groin are on the shot line. Then as they move into the shot line, they keep their head on the shot line and the back foot slides under them (either on the first step or after they plant their front foot). I see this much less often. I see these alignment issues in a lot of my students, even some decent players but especially beginners. It's not natural to stand with a lean or at an angle but most top players do it. I rarely if ever see a top player that does not have their head, eyes, chin, etc. directly over the perceived shot line and keeps their head and eyes on that shot line the entire way down into the shot. Amateurs I see them sometimes weave around as their weight moves into the shot, also no good. Jerry Briesath, a great instructor, called this chin lock - keep your chin on the shot line and moving down into the shot. One analogy I use with students is shooting a gun - if you are aiming at a target, you aren't going to aim the gun and have your eyes to the side, you need to be directly behing the line you are aiming down to see it properly. So same thing in pool, you should not be looking at the object ball contact point from the side but instead from the perspective of the line you intend to shot down. Sorry for long post, hope this helps clarify...

Thank you Niels, today I'm gonna start practicing my skills from level 0 and this 'Back to the basics' videos are a treasure! 11:57

My problem was/is that I twist the cue on follow through. I found that my wrist wasn’t firm. I started marking the top of my cue with a sticker and focused on making sure on my follow through that the sticker was still up and in line. I also learned about the eye alignment you mention. My cue now rubs the right side of my chin making it inline with my slightly more dominant side. Lastly, when aiming I use a combination of ghost ball and half ball (whatever that other aiming system is...) and this has improved my game. Thank you Sir for doing these videos.

Nice to see how you do it seems like best practice. Some of the newer pool videos they seem like they stand beside the shot instead of in front of the shot directly I had experimented with both. On the aiming line I like to visualize exactly to a pinpoint where the line comes out of the object ball. Then the part of the cue ball that will be contacting object ball is the exact opposite spot. I like to feel like I stand behind that line where they're both aligned both the contact points. I feel like this is a little more precise than just using a ghost ball. But I also like to look at the overlap as I get down I try to maintain those two contact points on the shot line until I'm down. then I will do a check does it look right . quick check ball overlap does it feel right does it look right. and obviously before you get down and during the shot you need to be feeling the speed that you need to get position and never lose sight of that otherwise you won't get position. Back and forth eyes at object ball last and fire. I'm also slightly conflicted because I've shot a lot of different ways in 20 years. Short bridge Long bridge I can really shoot both pretty well with both. The short bridge enables you to deliver the cue more accurately to the cue ball but you're closer to the shot and it's not as obvious if you're off The Shot line. With a longer bridge little harder to deliver perfect accuracy on the cue ball but it kind of forces your body to go through the shot a little smoother. I will vary some from shot to shot. longer bridge has more power and you don't need to swing as far so your mechanics don't break down as easy. I see some players that will just use a huge 14 to 18-in bridge on every single shot I feel like this is difficult to control the finesse short shots. Or especially Mass a type shots. Thanks for the tips this channel is definitely turning into one of my favorite channels.

Thank you sir!!🙏🏻💪🏼👍🏼 let me know if you have other video tips 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks so much! I'm a taller, left eye dominant player. I bend both legs a little bit and have my left eye over the cue (a lot Jayson, but not as pronounced). I know this is only chapter 1, but wondering if an upcoming chapter will focus more on grip with specific info on which fingers are touching the cue during different shots, if there's different grips for different shots, and what happens when the grip closes on your final stroke. Thank you again! It's so amazing to get tips like this from a world champion!

Thanks! Unfortunately no other ones about grip. I cover the basics in this video. Try not to overthink it too much. Not tigbt is the key. Relaxed grip so you can have feel 💪🏼👍🏼😄 good luck!!!

Thanks Niel's, enjoying the content. I'm 6'1" and went to a modified snooker stance (both knees bent). It helped with my alignment and neck pain. I still use the traditional stance when breaking which helps me generate power. One item not mentioned, is how low your upper body and chin should be. I know this varies and there's no right answer.

Yep this could be very personal. Most players get close to the cue but some like to stand higher 😄👍🏼
