    Please Jasmine I will love to see you make a video about how professional players prepare for tournaments and the mindset they play with. Thanks
  • Thanks Jasmin for all you do. Every video, I pick up one piece of knowledge I never knew before.
  • @wayneburba9457
    Where have you been all my life. You speak right to the heart. And I would like that tool.
  • @NewbergUSA
    I always learn from you and you always give me a smile, chuckle or laugh. Thank you from Oregon for another very helpful video!
  • Jasmin is one of the reasons that I got into making pool youtube videos as well. I've always respected her as a player and her game. But getting to know this side of the player is just inspiring. Thank you Jasmin for your contributions to the game =]

    Excellent video!! Finally someone who talks about the actual aiming point vs the straight line from the pocket through the object ball. It's NOT that line. Love it. Alas, yes, nothing beats tons of practice.

    continuos playing with the experts is the key to upgrade your skills, like filipinos to it everyday.

    Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I've had so many aiming systems since I've been playing. They work for a while, then I miss too many shots at the tourneys. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  • I appreciate the way Jasmin speaks so plainly about topics like this. Great player, great person, great personality. Thanks Jasmin ❤
  • @abbazakytv9308
    Thanks Jasmine. This is one shot I always had a problem with and didn't really understand why I miss it all the time. It wa after I learned about CIT and SIT that I understand the whole reason and have since been making them almost all the time. Thanks to you coach! ❤😍
  • Thank you! Great information and video! I appreciate all of your great tips and explanations. 🤓

    Cut induced throw is a very real thing... I have missed many of the same shots for years until someone explained cut induced throw. Amazingly, I make all those same shots now on a fairly high percentage. Thank you for your perspective. It was helpful in a few ways. The alignment aspect is So important.
  • Thanks Jasmin, finally some one who tells the truth. There is so much misinformation regarding aiming on the internet. Mostly based on some ones believe, instead on reality. Good aiming systems are tools to help you visualize the path the cue ball needs make to pot the object ball. They just give a basic guideline which needs to be fine-tuned by your experience with all shot depended elements that change the balls directions. Things like throw, deflection, spin, which ar all also depending on speed, etc all the things mentioned in the. There is no real simple trick for perfect aim. You need to train your visualization skills, your stroke, by practice in order to become potting machine. And even after many years of serious practice you will still miss shots. CTE is one of the worst aiming systems, no one really can explain how it is supposed to work. Mostly long video's with endless talking. Often presented als the golden egg to commercialize it for selling video's en books.

    Great advice. I like to setup a steep, frozen cut-shot and practice that one. Feel like if a person can land that one well the straighter shots should come easier

    I really like your videos. I think I can learn from them. I am 81 and haven’t played pool in about 45 years and when I did play I never knew anything about the effects of spin on the cue ball or the object ball. Now I am having problems with long shots and shots when the object ball is on the rail and the cut angle is more than 20 degrees. I also am not very good at breaking. I only play 8 ball. I watched your video on breaking but I’ve not had much success. Thank you for your well done videos.
  • @edturnbull4446
    Good and clear explanation. I like that you advise agains placing too much importance on relying on mastering some aiming system or other. You get to the heart of the matter when you say the player needs to learn by experimenting, repetition, and practice. That is the only way to learn any athletic skill. I have always said that you do not want to turn an athletic effort into an intellectual exercise, for that leads to inevitable frustration and inhibits leaarning
