A secret to better Pool

Hello pool players, Ron here. We're going to go ahead and break down a couple of nine ball racks that I ran last night back to back and I'm going to go ahead and talk to you about something about the instinctual play that I've been talking about here recently within my last video. So let's go ahead and start this up and take a look at what we're doing. I'm going to use a cut break here and I actually hit this a little bit too far to the right on the one ball and that's why the cue ball went downstream and of course didn't have a shot on the one. So as a result, I'm going ahead with ball in hand here on this first rack and I got to tell you, if I go ball in hand lately with this instinctual play that I've been experiencing, I've been running out a lot, more than 50% of the time. So that's good. I'm seeing some advancements in my game as a result. So what I'm doing here is once again, I'm not aiming. All I'm doing is making sure that my body is in position and then, you know, while I'm on the shot and then trusting my stroke and then making a smooth stroke. So here I just ran straight ahead. I need a little angle on this five ball to get an angle on the six because I want to put the seven in that upper right corner and I hit it real well here. In this one here, I want to hit this a little thin because of the angle, kind of cheat the pocket a little bit and then draw the cue ball back. And once again, I'm instinctually shooting here, okay. I'm trying also, this is another thing I've been working on, I've been trying to shoot speed racks and those of you know about speed pool, basically just going through a rack as fast as possible but not out of control. And that's what I'm kind of doing here is I'm trying to go as quickly as possible, staying in rhythm and but not going too fast because you do have to take that time to settle your mind and clear the clutter. I talk about that all the time and that's part of this instinctual play. Here, notice that I, let me stop that a second and in fact, let's back that up just a little bit because I want to show you something here. When I go right to there, so watch how I, how my pre-shot routine is on this specific shot. This will give you an idea of how important it is and I do it precisely with this. It's my best fundamental on this video for as an example. Let's just take a look at here. So notice how I step behind the shot, I look at it, I'm aligned as I'm above the shot. Now I just make a nice smooth stroke and I pocket it perfectly into the side pocket. So important you guys, you have to line your body up before getting down on the shot. If you do this and then trust your instinctual feel and just execute a smooth stroke, you will pocket shots way more often. Your consistency will just soar. Okay, so here we're on the second break. There again, hit too far to the right. I'm gonna have to work on this and make sure that I hit that cue ball or hit that one ball a little bit better. I got a good look at the two though. So as long as I can see a ball, I can usually get position and run out. And just to let you know, I had 10 nine ball racks last night and I ran six. I'm really coming around right now and I attribute that to this instinctual play. Okay, so it's pretty easy from here on out. Now this one is a little tricky because I had, I was dead straight and I had to roll ahead because I wanted a back cut on this six ball to get to the seven because it was a cross table. A little bit risky to roll towards that side pocket, but I hit it perfectly. And here I'm going to draw over to the seven and I'll have a nice angle on the seven to draw to the eight. So I just wanted to share this with you, instinctual play, step into the shot line, trust your stroke, let your intuition shoot the shot, your feel, and you're going to have greater success as a result. If you guys have any questions or comments on this video, please leave them in the comment section below. I answer everyone, like always. I want to spur some debate on this because I'm sure a lot of players, you know, do what I'm doing right now. Thanks for watching everyone and until next time, like I always say, keep on practicing.
