  • I wish there was more Tor’s in this world. Such a great instructor and focuses on what actually matters in this game.
  • Tor, your lessons are ALWAYS loaded with pertinent wisdom to ACTUALLY improve your game. I have purchased nearly all of your material and will be using them as my guideline for game improvment. Thanks for existing!
  • Table looks super solid. Nice. I cashed in 5 out of 10 tournaments this year. Most recent one 4th place knocked out in semi finals. Won 1st/2nd place a couple times and a 3rd place finish. Your videos, Dr Dave, Sharivari and Niels Feijen videos have helped me. Obviously, grateful that you came to my house in NJ in July of 2014 and I was picked to be trained. Thank you for helping to pay it forward so I can take my game to the next level! I am not a pro yet. Almost B level range. Can't believe it's been 9 Summers since training.

    Shortening your pre-shot routine, number of/length of warm-up strokes, and time spent on the table makes a huge difference. It helps you get into "the zone" much faster and makes pocketing balls start to feel automatic. Josh shoots with zero fear of hesitation in his stroke and I think a big reason is because he gets into the zone almost immediately when he plays and he has optimized his pre-shot routine to the point where everything is automatic for him and there's no time for doubts to creep in.

    Thank you Tor. So clear , concise, eloquent and informative.
  • I appreciate your tremendous dedication in crafting this video. Having just resumed playing after a 20-year break, I've found your tips and insights to be exceptionally valuable. They are certainly going to enhance my skills and contribute to my overall improvement in the game.
  • I've been playing pool most my life frustrated at the inconsistency in my stroke. I can't believe what a big difference micro stroke aiming made in just one hour of practice. Enormous difference. Thanks for this tip! Game changer!
  • @PoolFool
    very very useful. Micro strokes is helping me already, and center-ball drill has improved my position play after a day of practice. Thanks as always!
  • @jamesdavis8731
    The tip about getting down on the shooting line and NOT taking any aiming (fine tuning) strokes is a GREAT tip. I have been doing this for years and it makes a huge difference in pocketing balls. You must be lined up and on the shooting line correctly from the get go. I have showed a number of people this training tip and they struggle big time in the beginning, but it made them focus on doing things correctly BEFORE they get down on the cue ball. I think Max Eberle is also someone that highly recommends this training method. Try it, you might find yourself missing a lot of shots at first that you would normally make, but in the end run you will become a better shot maker.

  • @romelllane7583
    Very informative video, have to try out those 3 and 4 ball runs. Looks really challenging!
  • @MrJdsenior
    I wonder if dominant eye, and incorrect lateral head placement for your personal eye preference, has anything to do with that over cut one, way undercut the other problem? Just a thought. I found that interesting, and will very much try the microstrokes. The other stuff I already knew, it's just getting myself to do it. I know, productive structured practice, especially on weak points. Got it. One good free resource I would point out to players that want to figure out what those weak points are, and get precise qualitative feedback on their game, is the Dr Dave tests available on his channel. I don't know if you have one, but will look it up. The more, the merrier.
  • Best pool content out there. Thanks for another great video! Helped my game alot.👍🎱
  • @dookjr
    Watched a video by the Terminator Neils called STRAIGHTEN OUT YOUR POOL STROKE! - Magic Tape Drill. Try it!! I was missing or miscuing about every 3rd shot. I immediately found out I was moving my shoulder on my final stroke. Now working hard to get rid of that quirk. Excellent video. Thanks for all your help Tor.

Within a few months I was winning tournaments around town! I always hear your voice when shooting Wierd maybe but not for me. Just showed my kids that video, still just as great as it ever was!
