Absolutely, I find myself some days missing constantly super easy shots and i suspect its because of my stroke. Maybe you can make a video about how to get back into the groove if you find yourself not playing like you're used to.

@@Janskie i took a couple years off and I too find myself missing easy shots which is frustrating...but I believe it is definitely problem with stroke/ form and I also find trying to focus on my form/stroke during shot has awful results too....has to come naturally...like Neil's fiejen said"we want to create a weapon(stroke) we can use at all times"

Agreed. As he said nobody makes perfect shots every time. It's a way to also practice to correct mistaken shots

I think it is great that you leave the misses and the not-so-good position play in - that is real pool. And to watch you recover is a good learning experience.

I love to see some "real life". Keep some of that stuff in. Sometimes for us humans it helps us to not get discouraged.

Another excellent drill and we appreciate your honesty

I like the fact that you emphasize that pool is not perfect and you have to practice everyday this is so encouraging because I occasionally get in my own head and listen to the oposite me telling me to stop I ain't getting anywhere..... Thanks Shari.... I appreciate you leaving the miss there too many video are avoiding the imperfection

I like the honesty that showing your misses brings to your videos. We get better as players when we learn from our misses. No reason to think we shouldn’t learn from your misses also.

I appreciate that you leave the mistakes in your videos. There's so much to learn from infrequent mistakes during your excellent performances.

Thank you for not editing your misses. You are proving to us all that mistakes happen in practice and thats why we need to practice!

Honestly, ive learned almost as much watching you recover from missteps as i have seeing perfect tutorials

Missed shots or not, these videos are very good. I like the just human approach. Many thanks for all the good work you've put in.

Your awesome tho , I love it that you don't edit everything so it looks like you can't make mistakes . that's what a good teacher does . thank you Ann I love watching your videos.

I think it's great that you had the integrity to show your miss. It helps us see that even players at a very high skill level, occasionally miss. We amateurs occasionally make one, hahahaha, that's why we watch your videos. Thanks so much.

Love seeing the honest play! Some drills are hard to do from start to finish mistake-free. Looking forward to your next vid!

Excellent video! Thanks for explaining your thought process between shots along with where you are aiming to strike the cue ball to setup for your next shoot. Very well done!

Probably my favorite part of playing pool these days is not winning matches, but watching how my skills improve week to week, month to month. Watching these videos and others like these help greatly, but more importantly making mistakes on the table and understanding why I made those mistakes are what help most. Keep the mishaps in, they are more educational than anything to some of us.

I really like when you have shown the cue ball with the cue-tip on it. It is very helpful!

I like it that you leave the flaws in. And show how to recover from a sub optimal position. It is anyway clear wht the object of the drill is. And seeing a pro player miss or struggle and finish the drill anyway is more motivating then looking at some one who does everything perfect all the time. Pool indeed is difficult so why hide the mistakes. Knowing even the pro's make mistakes makes practicing and repeating drills less painful when making mistakes too.

Great video. Supper helpful . Roughly 2 months into my return to pool . Been out for 15 years. Now that I have a respect for proper form and Technique. I'm watch every video I can find . So far this guy has been the most helpful

Great drill! Can't wait to try this one...and yes, leave the misses in! Far too often I see drills that demand perfection by saying "start over from the beginning if you miss". People learning the game or trying to improve don't need to be perfect. They just need to put in the work!

Another great video lesson! Thank you! Awesome bonus clip, too!

Ya gotta love the honesty. Sharivari always has an honest humility in his voice, and actions. I learn a lot...a million thx :-)

Yes, thank you for leaving in the misses. It shows us how things can go wrong and you explain to us how to correct it. This is very valuable information and I don't understand complaints about it at all.

Love seeing the GoPro view. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for letting us see u mess up to it means alot to me to see pro mess up cause I know noone is perfect and you are truly a prime example of that and I truly enjoy your videos they help me alot... I do over think my shots to much but definitely trying to make them better thank you for all you do it means so much

Love your videos, and I really appreciate the fact that you kept the mistake shot on the video. It shows that we can't be perfect all the time, but consistency is key..

I appreciate the misses and what can go wrong in the videos. It keeps it real to the rest of us.

I playback the video on the slowest playback speed. This really helps me see the nuance of your every aim and stroke. Great instuctional video. Leaving your mistakes in REALLY helps me see what I am doing wrong!

Your videos are really helpful, i improved a bit by watching your videos and im thankful to you for that.

Thanks Sharivari, really like to see the 'human' side :) defo gona try this drill 👊

Progress. Not perfection. You’re a human after all. I love these videos just the way they are. Some pool videos are perfect every time it’s annoying.

Thank for an accurate, fundamental, within the rules, lesson. 👍

Thank you. Nice drill.

This was a great video to learn from in many ways. You showed me something new and that's great. But seeing you helps me also as I can see your not perfect and it's ok to make a mistake and still enjoy the game. This is important to keep the game fun. Thank you your awesomeness. you rock.

Jimmy White does a similar thing , addresses the ball as though going for a deep screw and changes on the last. I love that you always criticise your game, it encourages the Club player to not worry about getting the shot wrong as the practice drill is there for that purpose, to improve. As regards the speed challenge as you know from previous comments I have made, I am the best, unfortunately the walking stick is tending to slow me down lately !!!! Thanks as always for a great video, regards Andrew

Thank you for what you do. I've been watching you for a while now during the pandemic, before you had this nice new table. I like the fact that let us see and hear your mistakes and your flaws.

I really appreciate you leaving the misses in.

Instructions of how to accomplish any shot to perfection on a consistent basis is unrealistic. However, instructions indicating how to adjust the expected perfect shot that may go awry to an acceptable position is the key that will keep you on the table as you have shown. Your lessons highlight and instructs how to make the necessary adjustments which is instrumental to not only the physical aspect but your mental confidence as you approach the less than desirable situation. Best teacher on youtube.

I can't criticize you for trying to help us better players. Thanks so much for this great lesson and drill. I understand that no one is going to make every shot perfectly. This will give me something to work on this coming winter. Thanks so much,

I actually have more respect for this type of material than when a pro tries to cut out missed shots in a hope we won't notice. Most of the time we notice the jump cut and it's a little embarrassing: not the miss but the fact of hiding attempt.

I like this. Take a page out of Niels' book. He always tells the viewer how many tries it takes to demonstrate a shot, and will show his misses. Pool players are human. Don't listen to those who get upset when you're not perfect. You learn more from missing/watching people learn from missing.

3:13 Buddy Hall used to teach this method of stroking the ball, start center then go left or right with the final stroke, so you don't have to calculate deflection. Looked for his video, but couldn't find it. He was actually quite surprised at how successfully he could use this method to apply left or right and still add a lot of velocity to the stroke while pocketing the ball. One of Johnny Archer's most memorable shots was a table length shot using just this method.

@jeffjohnson7657

Жыл бұрын

Yes! This is a very useful technique pros use when maximum English, maximum force, is needed (it’s not a technique for ‘normal’ English). It allows you to aim as though you are not using English. The pivot removes the need to consider deflection. Bert Kinister taught it to me, having learned it from Tony Robles. I saw Jayson Shaw use it in the US Open a few years ago.

You explain really well I love your videos, I love your pool cue.😁

Loving the fact you're leaving the errors in there. To my mind, drills and practice are there for making mistakes and gaining an understanding of why those mistakes arose, and how to address them. It reinforces the teaching aspect of the video as a result. Don't change your method. You're doing just fine as you are. Always happy to learn more stuff from you :)

Love it. Bonus points for keeping it real. As you stated, no one is perfect. And there's nothing more frustrating than trying to copy a technique wherein the 'coach' leaves the impression that his approach will result in 100% success. That's just not realistic. Thanks for the misses. 🙂 Always GREAT videos.
