​@FXBilliards Saying, "I agree." is sick as hell, too.

Well timed, Bryan! I have been almost obsessed with practicing these shots lately. To the point of setting them up at various angles and on and slightly off the rail to understand at which angle does my aim point change. It's been fun taking it to that level of detail and seeing it actually work. Hope I explained that right. Gotta love the science behind pool! Take care - Pete D.

Perfect!

I love that outside draw shot, I just need to shoot a few more of them. Maybe...a few thousand more.

This video was rail-ly helpful. Thanks, B!

Glad it helped!

Putting top inside spin on the cue ball also gives a little more margin for error, because even if the cue ball falls a tad short of where it was aimed, the rail will throw it right smack into the object ball, sending the object ball into the pocket. Thanks for another great video Bryan!

Those rail shots, they can get rough; sometimes you can make 'em and then other times they don't seem to go for nothin'!!! I believe you covered it all ... PRACTICE is the best kept secret! Practice until you get it ... then practice more so it becomes familiar! Love it Bryan, keep up the good work! Be Safe

I had six of these shots last night, amazing how many of them happen in a match. I made every one because I watched this video last week and made this at least half of my practice sessions. One shot was on the 8... 2/3's of the rail and I sent it straight into the pocket with perfect shape on the 9... quite the crowd pleaser, lol, and the run continued with 5 more points in the next rack... all because I made that one shot. I won 16-4 and promise you it was because of your video and the time I put in practicing. Because of your video I'm now aware of how important this shot is and aware of how often it occurs, thank you!

Remember reading books in the late 80s about rail and ball hit perfectly and actually I was pretty consistent with that but now I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the excellent lesson

Good stuff Bryan! Got League tonight so I'm going downstairs to practice these right now. Thanks!!

Nice, clear description of the shot, and of the cue ball route afterwards. Thank you!

Been following your videos for a while now Bryan and just saw this updated one on frozen rail shots, another great video. Been fine tuning my game little by little and thanks to your experience and teaching, I’ve been able to sharpen my skills and see angles like I couldn’t before.

Great video Bryan!

Love your video instructions. I am wondering how to get position when an object ball is frozen to the rail at the short rail on the end of the table, when the cue ball is even with the object ball and your next ball is frozen to the short rail on the opposite side of the table?Not having any consistent luck figuring it out.

Always good stuff. Thanks again Brian 👍

Hey there. Long time fan. What’s up with the reel to reel in the background? That’s of my era and it’s just cool that you actually have one.

@FXBilliards

Yeah, I love that thing - it’s from 1987. It’s been fully refurbished and works like it’s brand new. Anytime you see it on during one of my videos it is because I’m transferring music onto the reels. It is certainly the coolest way to listen to music, but also the most expensive way to listen to music

I keep forgetting to practice rail shots when I have a good practice session. I’ll try to remember next time.

I know you said outside/gearing English is not by default the way to go for these shots. But I was wondering; if your aim isn't (yet) perfect and you tend to hit the OB in a such a way that after collision, it heads into the rail at an angle of just a few degrees *, then in that case, would correct amount outside English help to straighten that angle? And of course, I'm not saying you want to rely on this; it would be better to try to work on your accuracy instead. 🙂 * this could be hitting ball first just a tiny amount, or hitting the ghost ball perfectly but CIT turning OB towards rail, or hitting rail first way too early and then overcutting OB after CB rebounds.

My favorite shot is definitely the low/outside draw…. lol. You called it

What kind of pool stick would you recommend for a person who is starting to learn spin and english

@FXBilliards

Just about anything in the 200 to $300 price range is a good place to start.

What about when the cue ball is a inch or two off the rail for position play.

I'm new at pool. When you say deflection, what do you mean?

@FXBilliards

3 ай бұрын

When you put spin on the cue ball it gets pushed to the opposite side - that’s what we called deflection - when you hit the cue ball on the left-hand side, it gets pushed to the right hand side and vice versa.

what about making double or triple combination rail shot?

@FXBilliards

It’s a bad idea on many levels. Avoid it.

Very simply shooting the shot with left-hand English is the absolute most difficult way to play it, and you should avoid to buy any means necessary

I always use topspin when I have a frozen rail ball
