    Man thats the ultimate advice i can hear from any coach online u have solved my long term mistake that i was doing hats off to u sir u r amazing Gold bless u,
  • thank for you advice, I am struggle few years for offline line stand and finally find the problem is rotate too much of my shoulder and left leg (i am right hand player). and now I have reach my new highest break to 50+ , really thank you for your video. very nice
  • I always blamed not cueing straight to my grip but now I know it's my walk in. It was at fault so you have fixed my problem. Thank you.
  • As a pool player it continually amazes me how many parts there are to the pre-shot routine. And I learn new ones all the time. I think this may be two of my problems as I get tired, because I suddenly start shooting everything offline in one consistent direction as if my aim line suddenly deserts me. Thank you for the next thing I need to focus on tomorrow’s training session. At 6’3” it will be hard for me to adjust to keeping my head on the line without stretching my stance out to the side so much.

    This was a very interesting video, particularly because of the emphasis on the position of the head during the walk-in. There is a school of coaching that makes the position of the foot (right foot for right handed players) the basis for the stance. I noticed that at 3:18, you're standing with your cue pointing at the rest and your feet on either side of that line and at 3:22, as you step forward, you bring your right foot onto the line of the rest. I also note at 3:18 that your pointer is directly in line with the centre of your body. I've been working on the assumption that the step forward with the left foot helped to remove the hip from the line of the shot but it seems from your example at 5:37 that the rotation of the shoulders brings the hip to the player's left and away from interfering with the action of the cue. I would be interested in a video exploring the relationship between the stance (position of the feet ), the hip and the shoulders in preparing for a straight cue delivery. It seems that some of the pros are not as fussy about the position of the "cue foot" as some of the coaches.
  • I have watched so many youtube videos, also taken one on one coaching, but I can safely say that you are the best out there.

    Great video (again) and the key was showing the causes and effects of head moving offline. This is something I have struggled with to understand. And either tried the Wilson approach but find do not get elbow/shoulders turned enough so although think the cue is online and means set up to cue across cue ball; or, to get shoulders turned and online I move my head left to allow body to do this. Part of this is neck flexibility to allow all this. But I definitely going with the Higgins walk in, it seems to be simple - hip rotation helps bring the shoulders round as well

    Special video this. Was working on my walk in for almost a year now. Highly suspected my leading leg was big part of the problem. Did some alligment practice at work on table tennis table recently :) (it has almost the same hight and nice white line in the middle which I used as reference for straight line). Noticed as I am planting my foot on the floor it happens almost at the same time as I am putting my cue to the cue ball. What happens is that cue goes a few millimiters further as I probably cannot stop it dead on center as it is comming from the side. Just started to use your mentioned John Higgins technique. Added just a small adjustment. To make sure I put my cue to the cue ball after I plant my leading foot, I started to hold my cue tip more to the back (had to pull back my shoulder for that, the butt of the cue upfront a bit). This makes the ark putting the cue to the cue ball quite long and helps me not thinking about the timing. Huge improvement in potting stability, confidence etc. Much less confusion when I miss a shot. I can go to learn other aspects of the game now. Thank you!

    Thank you very much very nice explaining ❤hope to practise with you
  • @kwoksimon4949
    Thank you, Coach Brando! Those are very good advice for balancing. I will pay more attention on them before laying down for the shot.
  • @ho-ux8rm
    Definitely i gonna apply this method 👍 Thank you Brando . What about potting guid 8😢
  • I agree 100%. Having a home table with no room to walk in makes perfecting my walk in very difficult!
