I just got my first pool table. I never played a lot of pool in the past. I just retired and I'm an avid golfer. Your video on stance- alignment was excellent for someone wanting to learn correct fundamentals. Like golf...people that hit a hundred balls not knowing basic fundamentals will never improve. You gave that same comparison. I'm looking at different instruction video's to get a comfortable feel for the stroke. I liked your sit up thought and especially the shot comes from the feet. That takes the hands, arms, upper body and mind out, and makes it automatic, (like a golf swing). Now I will go practice your instruction. Thanks, Don

Hi. I am glad that you have this video that demonstrates clearly the stance. A friend of mine misunderstood your article in the Summer 2016 APA magazine where you use the term "Leading Leg". He thought you meant the front leg and went around saying that we should shoot with the front leg on the same side as the leading leg according to you article. . Now I can show him the video and clear the misunderstanding.

Excellent video. Recently started studying billiards. For the first month I practiced with just the cue ball: bouncing off the rail until it would return to the top of the cue, and two balls: making straight in shots and controlling where the cue ball moved after the shot. Until you have solid, consistent fundamentals, your not going to progress much. It’s a beautiful game: chess + physics.

Thanks Lee, this is very helpful! Two of the things that I wonder about with stance and alignment and I'd love your thoughts about them: 1) When you step into the shot, do you consider the direction your front foot is pointing important? Should it point in the direction of your shot line, or is it ok to be a bit sideways to that line? And, somewhat related to this, 2) What's the alignment of your hips? It seems like they aren't pointing in your aim line, but they also aren't completely sideways to it? Does it matter, or is the point of this training to learn to do it the same way every time, in the way that feels most natural?

Great instruction. I seldom have time to play pool any more since I coach a 4th-6th grade coed basketball team then coach and teach golf. I expecially liked the reference to the Russian tennis coach and the South Korean girls learning to play golf. There are a few golf instructors who teach making a golf swing without a club first. An old saying is "how do you expect to make a golf swing with a club and a ball sitting on the ground when you don't know how to make a golf swing without a club?" The hard part is finding a student who is willing to do that!This is excellent instruction and I'll definitely use it when I can get back to the pool room this Fall.Thanks you very much and keep up the excellent work!!!

I was going to ask if he's tall or is his stick short but then noticed how long his bridge hand is away from the ball and now I'm wondering if he normally shoots like that during competition because I almost never hold my cue that close to the cue butt. It definitely magnifies the flaw/flaws in my stroke though.

I really want to learn the right way and I think these videos can help me a lot .. teacher can give me advice as to how I have to unlearn those bad habits, it is not easy to abandon a way of playing that already my mind and my muscle memory has adopted it, what do I do teacher?

This is excellent stuff Lee. Though I'm wondering if around the 4:25 mark you were just exaggerating a bit regarding how pool players (who take the game seriously) tend to stand all sideways like that. With the exception of very few notable players with very unique mechanics, practically nobody stands with their body almost directly facing the line of the shot at like 90 degrees or something haha. If you are talking about the average person in general that just plays occasionally and doesn't take the game serious, you will see them stand in just about every way imaginable....but you're implying that standing with the right foot way behind the line of the shot is something that's common even among good players. I disagree with that (if that's what you're saying). The only pool player that I can recall standing anywhere close to fully sideways like that is Keith McCready with his horizontal sidearm stroke. Some of the Filipino players stand a bit more closed than normal, with their flowery and loose strokes, but I can't think of anyone who stands *that* sideways, or anywhere close to it. I think there is a lot less discipline in the pre shot routine among pool players compared to snooker players as you demonstrate. Most pool players don't get down on the shot the same way, some step into the shot, some 'waggle' into their stance like a golfer, some stand a bit too close as a habit and take a step back with their right foot, but when they are down on the shoot it looks mostly similar, with the right foot (for right handed players) going across the line of the shot and the body ending up facing about 45 degrees to that line. Snooker seems more disciplined, probably because it's a more demanding game in terms of accuracy. But I'm wondering where you got the idea that standing sideways like that is a common thing in pool, unless you were doing that as an exaggeration to show the difference. Thanks for the great videos, lots of good advice for any level of player.

Hi Brett, I am a late starter but trying hard to improve. I have a big problem getting my head square with the chin low and over the Cue without tilting my head when following the first foot alignment. The only way I can seem to get the chin over and head square is centering the cue and shot line with my body centre then moving down into the shot line with head square. This seems to put my ead foot just outside the shot line. Is this ok?

It does, that's why when using a ghost ball aiming system, you aim towards the center of the ghost ball, not towards the contact point.
