A masse shot is basically curving the cue ball around a ball to hit your object ball. Dr Cue shows the basic foundation of a masse shot. One piece of advice he gives is you should start with a small angle before trying extreme masse shots.

Dr Cue explains the foundation of a jump shot using a regular cue, not a short “jump” cue. It is interesting since most players don’t believe they can perform a jump shot. Yet, they have unknowingly jump a cue ball in previous situations. The best thing the average player can learn from this video is you do not have to jump a complete ball every time.
I’m not sure how many of you league players have been following these directional throw videos. It is amazing how easy these shots become if you understand the principal. Dr Cue adds another ball to demonstrate directional throw.
This is another great shot to have in your pocket. Pardon the pun. Dr Cue shows how to use directional throw when two object balls are frozen together. Just understanding this shot can improve your chances of pocketing your object ball when it is frozen to another object ball.
This is a great video by Dr Cue showing how to shoot an object ball that is frozen to the cue ball. He shows how to throw the ball, without using an illegal push shot or double hit. He also shows directional throw shot. Again, this video is great for experienced and beginner shooters.
A lot of pool players quickly concede a game when there’s an easy shot on the 8-ball. But, you never know what may happen. Anyone can miss at any time!
Watch this video of a 9-ball game where Apancho quickly concedes to Reyes. It’ll make you think twice before conceding your next game.
No one is immune from missing an easy 8-ball to win the game. During a game a player makes a ball and plays position a maximum 7 out of 8 shots or 87.5% of the time. On the final shot the brain registers making the ball, but not playing position. The brain short circuits, so to speak, 12.5% of the time, and does not understand why it is not playing position on the final shot. This right brain thing can be fixed by creating a mental ball for imaginary position to an easy place on the table. Shooting the 8-ball now becomes part of the normal shooting journey with a subsequent imaginary shot providing victory!
Some players cut object balls better to their right and some players cut object balls better to their left. The exercise in this segment will help you determine which is better for you. In addition, watching your opponent play specific cut shots during the game will reveal which cut side they play better toward. Remembering this will give you the edge in playing defense. You should always favor leaving your opponent a cut opposite their better side!!
The backwards cut to the corner with the cue ball traveling to the opposite side cushion, across the table center, and beyond, as needed for position, will surely take your game to the next level and beyond. Take a little extra time for shot making accuracy and precision draw with side spin action application. A crisp follow thru with a solid closed bridge will give you the results you are looking for!!
Shooting with inside english and increased speed is often difficult. Focused practice applied to this “identity” shot is one of the most important measurements of game success when drawing a ball is not an option to get around the table…using the “center of the table” as a reference point for the cue ball travel. Maintain a firm bridge for this position enhancer!!
