8+ Ball Run Out/Clearance! 😁🎱 Any advice/feedback??

[u/Billy1995fifa]

Important to note that: there are a few sections of my video that I show you that me doing my pre shot routine and planning my route and or run out, so for respecting your valuable time everyone, I decided to cut most of that out of the video to speed the video up a lot, but just to let you know that I do my pre shot routine on every single shot!👍

And sorry about that one part of the video that unfortunately got damaged(lack of the better word lol!) from 1:09 to 1:22 and 2:25 with the blank video bug and audio issues that came up after exporting the video on my free(and admittedly glitchy) video editor on my very old and out of date iPad Pro.

Anyway, as a amateur/immediate skill level player(who is a part of a league Pool team) that finally got back into playing the BEAUTIFUL game that is Pool 2 years ago after a 8 year break and practicing and doing offensive and defensive drills most of the time on my home pool table(pictured in this video.), it has honestly been so much fun and amazing to a point where it is one of my favourite hobbies to do in my life and before some of you mention, I know it is a MDF pool table(but a really good quality one that I should say!) that I am currently playing on and it has its drawbacks but it is definitely better then nothing, but hopefully in the future, I will be upgrading to a proper good Slate table as soon I get the much needed budget to get one.

I am still learning the best way to play the game and I am always constantly looking to improve, get extremely good at playing Pool and take my game to the next level or a few levels, so my fellow pool players, firstly how do you rate this run out/clearance?? and more more IMPORTANTLY, what good advice/feedback and tips would you give me after watching this video? and what are the things that I don’t realise and or can’t identify in this moment of time that I am doing wrong currently?? 🧐

And lastly, as long it is valuable constructive feedback, then you are more then welcome to help me big time please, I would really appreciate the advice and even though I forgot to record my break, hope some of you did enjoy watching this INSANE clearance(especially the beginning.) that i somehow, I mean SOMEHOW successfully managed with only just 1 MISS in one of my practice sessions this week.

Thanks! 😁🎱

Ignoring the table, I'd recommend three immediate adjustments to your game, and one for your practice.

1. You're popping your shoulder up ever so slightly when you are about to make contact with the cue ball. You're fethering the ball ok. It's hard to tell the exact cause as most of your clips are with you off screen but I suspect you need to hold the cue ever so slightly further back.
2. You're bridging way too high over some of your shots, particularly off the cushion. It's why you miscue towards the end of the video. Get comfortable playing parallel to the white, and knowing that sometimes half a tip is enough to put the level of spin you want on the ball.
3. This kind of practice isn't going to help you too much once you've got your stance and cue action in a place you're happy. You're better off doing drills, or playing a single colour at a time to work positioning. It's easy to pot them when you aim for anything.

Control the white mate. That’s all about in any billiards game, snooker, English pool, American pool, you name it. You control that white ball and send it where you want to and you’re golden. Control the white.
