Hi Gareth, recently I started trying to get my front foot flat and even weight across foot. Prior to this, I think I was putting more weight on the outside edge of my front foot, and my body would shift forward a smidge when I shoot. My stance seems steadier after making this change. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on feet, knees, stance, weight distribution. Can you make a video this stuff please.

I know the fundamentals and try to make sure I'm doing them all when playing… BUT… since watching this vid I've been playing a lot better… it was how I was holding the cue at the back that you mentioned that has helped. Big difference now after doing what you said. Thanks Gareth for help.
If ya'll aren't aware, he teaches a lot of foreign players personally and you can hear him talk about a lot of this great stuff. I have the link saved, but I am sure you can find it (think listed under Chinese text). – Oh, that was his Chinese 8 ball match. This is from Bistrol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnAH4GH2BU0 Appreciate all he does for the game and helping others.
I feel lucky to have found this video tonight! I’m gonna practice this for sure. Hey we might be related I had a great great grandmother named Fannie Potts
to simple. There are times you have to elevate the back of your cue. You see it in every pro match. To draw the cue ball back when on or close to the rail your have to jack up the back of your cue.
I’ve found how far back or forward your you hold your cue (I’ve seen some professionals back hand right at the back of the cue, some closer to the balance point- both have the 90 degree angle) makes a big difference, which is better?
This have instantly improved my game. I come back from time to time to watch this, cuz when the pressure is too much I tend to forget. I have mad problems with my grip? It’s not loose enough and I don’t follow thru with my shots as I’d like

Is there a reason the closed bridge is so much less commonly used than it was 20 years ago?
Thank you Gareth, hopefully more of these to come 👍
Cheers mucker 🍻
Great scientific content
Excellent content in a time frame that is beyond reasonable. Thank you a thousand times.
My thumb won't do that! It hurts if I try! 😔
This is very valuable. Thank you for posting. Subscribed. 🤙

Thank you so much mr Potts
Hey gareth let's play some one pocket I think I can beat you it's the best pool game
I’ve found how far back or forward your you hold your cue (I’ve seen some professionals back hand right at the back of the cue, some closer to the balance point- both have the 90 degree angle) makes a big difference, which is better?
Perhaps you can add on tutorial the loop bridge as there are certain shots where the v shape is not effective
Gosh i saw this late……..very helpful
Never liked the way many American players wrap their finger around the cue rather than the v bridge
Thank you very much Gareth.

what do you think of players who put their chin on the cue? is this a good thing or not?..thanks.
If you cant pot balls on a pool table just give up. End of lesson.
awesome technique education, i don't think anyone has ever coached on this before
Brilliant
🎯💯
