Wagon Wheel Ultimate

Hello everyone, welcome back to the channel. Today got a real tough drill. You saw the wagon wheel version 1, 2 and 3. This is version 4, the final version, the ultimate version of the wagon wheel. As you can see, there's a lot more balls on the table. So there's 18 balls on the table, what you've got to make contact with. So, the only difference this time is that you can play draw shot, follow shot or stop shot. But you also can play with left English, right English, whatever you want to do. You just got to make sure you contact that ball. If you can do it, even at pro level, if you do this 18 out of 18 shots, that's very, very impressive. If you can do it under 20 shots, that's great. If you do it under 30 shots, that's really good. So, anyway, let's go straight into it and I'll explain to you what I'm going to do. Right, so let's get straight into it. So, if I can do it within 20 shots, I'll be pretty happy. So, the first shot here, nice simple start. Just nice and high on the cue ball. Kiss the one. And again, find those natural lines. It's so important. So, here, just kiss the two. So, once you make the ball, the ball you contact, you just spot up. A little bit trickier this time. Doesn't matter if you scratch, don't worry about that. As long as you contact the ball, you're okay. Very important to make sure you go through the cue ball. Don't get stabby or jabby. Just make sure you put a good stroke on the ball. A bit trickier this time. So, again, knowing your natural lines is just so important and it will just improve everything about your game. And another key, when you're playing these shots, a lot of people miss the balls because you're thinking about the cue ball so much. And when you're thinking about where the cue ball is going, it's easy to take your high off the ball. So, it's very important to keep your high on the ball. No matter what you do, make sure you make the ball because there's a lot of stuff you can do while you're at the table, but there's nothing you can do when you're sat down in your chair. So, a little pun shot here. Just like that. That one's a little bit tricky. You have to make sure you put a pretty good stroke on that. Come around to the other side of the table. Find your natural angle. Again, wherever you do, don't miss the ball. Very important. Don't take your high off the ball. Pretty good so far. And remember, you get ball and hand for every shot. It's very important when you put ball and hand to not put it too far away. I see too many people, when they've got ball and hand, they're putting the cue ball too far away from the object ball. So, then, obviously, you make the ball a little bit more missable, but I just feel like you're not 100% sure where the cue ball is going. So, I like to have the cue ball maybe a foot and a half, a couple of feet from the object ball. I can't get the cue ball to rest here, but it should be okay. And also, with these balls being on the table, I don't want to be putting the cue ball here and jacking over balls. Pretty strong so far. Again, just make sure you put a good stroke on the ball. Like I say, if I can do this within 20 shots, I'll be really happy. So far, I'm 100%. And sometimes, well, that's what you get when you get lazy. I don't need to use that ball I've used there, but I've taught myself. I was talking too much there, so I missed the easiest shot you can miss. That's okay. I can't remember what I was going to say, but it's just so important to make sure you go through the ball. I only can afford one more miss. It's very easy to get careless like I did there. Again, make sure you focus on making the ball. Once you automatically know your natural line, then you don't even need to think about where the cue ball is going. You just should know where the cue ball is going. A little soft punch shot again here. Now I'll come to the other side. Yeah, it's not the most exciting drill in the world, but again, the benefits it will have in your game is worth it. Oh, I missed it. Wow. All right, so I'm going to spot a ball in there instead of walking around. But again, this one is one of the tricky ones, but I shouldn't be missing that. I can't afford any more misses, otherwise I'll start all over again. But yeah, it's not as easy as what you might think. The last one I should be able to manage. This is one what I did miss on the opposite side. Oh, only just. So I managed to do it in 20 shots, so pretty happy with that. I shouldn't have missed the easy one like that one there. You should never miss that one. But it's easy to be careless, but you can see the benefits. You'll understand your natural lines better. Your cue ball control is going to big time improve, and so is your positional play and your pattern play. And the rest of your game. And then it's going to build confidence, because every part of your game is going to improve from doing drills like this. So I think this wagon wheel drill is probably one of my favorite drills and probably one of the best drills for any player, especially at amateur level. So give it a go. I hope you enjoyed it.
