Top 10 PATTERN PLAY Principles and Techniques

wow. First time seeing a person use 2 fingers to get cueball angle. Great tip

Great video!

This is the weakest part of my game…seeing the pattern and angles

It would be a major offense, on a shot like this, not to get into that zone.

Dr. Dave, you are awesome! Recently joined a CPA league team, after not having played pool in a good fifteen yrs. Watched a few different tutorials, found them to be hard to follow, full of useless banter or bad attempts at being funny. Then I saw one of yours, and BOOM ! Easy to follow, really great narration. Nice flow, guests, humour and great advice to boot. When I did play back in the day, I was a good intermediate player, and I love the game. So I joined the league as a three, and have quickly jumped to a solid four, and I definitely owe a good part of that to you. I also practice quite a bit , which is essential. So thank you and all involved, keep up the great work.

All ur videos are exceptional. It wud be nice if u were my next door neighbor.

Where do you get the cue spacer from??

Great video, sir!! This is really where I need help, making good decisions at first

I have so much to learn on cue ball control and tangent lines. Great video.

interesting using the 5 ball there to setup for the 8 thats where im kind of foggy on playing shape...i kind of figured out bank shots myself one day just messing around..it took some deep thought and soem thought that many people i play wiht dont seem to have patience for its not soemthing i see or figure out right away knowing exactly where to hit each ball it depends alot on where both balls ar eon the table for bank shots..the methiod i found anyway

What the hell? Is this guy Dr in billiards?? I mean, he explains all so, so, so, so sientifically!!!

Hey ! Dr Dave … I’ve labeled this a timeless gem ..ty

Very well explained and helpful, thanks :)

Are you allowed to jump in straight pool?

💪

What should I practice to be a good pool player

Thank you I improved so much

I discovered this and other pattern/strategy videos after I wrote you and received your response.

is there a quick way to learn the long draw

I always have trouble with rail shot and ball 1/4 1/2 ball off cushion some how I can't seems to make the ball

Dave ball is on the rail going to the corner not on the rail about quarter ball off the cue ball is on the spot ? Question do you need english inside shot outside english teach the beginner .

Ive went through 20 of your videos in 3 days and my desire to play and learn has never been greater

So helpful. How big of a difference do you think a good cue makes? I use the one that comes with the table

Friend I don't know how to explain my doubt, but here I go: in the graph of the white ball, I am left wondering if it is that the black point is at the limit of the circle. Are you applying maximum effect? or below the maximum? I ask since that circle is inside another larger white circle. I hope you understand, sorry my English, I usually speak Spanish. Greetings.

combine all those 10 patterns into a decision tree algorithm can act as a quite competitive AI pool player i guess, though it might not count as AGI

So much good information. I will watch monthly as a refresher as I do not have all strategies in my game. Thank you for putting in the time, now my turn to do the work.

Do you have a dvd that is for sale that explains everything from the very basic beginning and works it way up?

“With little que ball motion not much could go wrong. Blahahahahaha.

Thanks Dave you know your stuff 👍🇳🇿

Excellent video and the reason why as a moderately skilled player, I often win games against much more technical shooters.

Great video Dr. I’d love to see something about how to play with glasses. When I started playing, I didn’t use anything. Then I got contacts and everything was so clear. I like to get down low, and with contacts, everything was crisp. I use only glasses now and can’t get into my usual stance without looking above my lenses.

Your very inspiring. Thanks for the video

REALLY good stuff here, thanks a MILLION! I'm a new player, FINALLY starting to put the pieces together, thanks to you Dr. Dave...

Absolutely fantastic very great instructor thank you for what you’re doing

Actually, Dr.Dave forgot to mention the most important one of 'em all!
Point #0: Be Dr.Dave! :)

I really like the Miniclip 8 Ball game on my phone cause it's like a daily strategy trainer, no technique required

best tutorial. it covers 90% of all that matters.

Sir you are a gift to the pool community! Thank you for all the tips and advice my game has been 10x better since watching your videos! Thank you very much! :)

🔥🙏🏼✊🙏🏼

Wow! I thought I was good at pool. Nope 😂

Great video, provided a better understanding of position play

More great stuff from Dr. Dave.
