I just broke a jumping pot record, so I'm going to try to show you how to jump a ball now
0:40
First of all, you need a jump cue. So this is a little special that's a shorter cue
0:44
It's got a harder tip, so this is what we call phenolic. So it's a very hard material
0:50
The ferrule is also harder, and the wood is really hard, like you can see, it doesn't bend
0:54
What it is, is a lot of people think when you jump a ball, you actually go under the
0:58
ball and just lift up. This is wrong. So, you know, never do that
1:03
That's absolutely wrong. That's a foul in pool. If somebody does that, you know, it basically shows that we don't really know how to play
1:09
And it's actually, the reason they don't do it is because if you do something like that, it will kind of destroy the felt because you go under, you might rip it
1:16
So never do this. So the way I do it for, to explain it better, I put a ball on the rail, just like that
1:22
Okay, so now you can see you can't go under the ball, right? Because there's no jumping under it, no lifting
1:28
I'm going to use what I call an open bridge. So do like this, something like that
1:35
And what you're going to have to do is you're going to have to aim just above the center of the ball
1:39
So if you take a striped line like that, you're going to probably go right above the black
1:45
part of the 13 number. Once you do that, you're in position, then a jump shot is a short, fast stroke
1:53
So it's not a long fall through, contrary to the spin shot. It's actually really short
1:57
So you just go like this, short and fast. And you can go, you know, a lot like that, short and fast
2:05
Now the way I do it, I use only basically two or three fingers, so we call it dart style
2:09
So kind of like when you're throwing your darts, same stuff. So solid left hand, open bridge, and a dart style
2:18
Of course you can do it differently too. You can just do it, you know, say close bridge, just like that
2:23
This is a little harder because you don't have much, how to say that, much stability
2:28
So you kind of have to stuck your elbow there and try to do it the best you can
2:34
So that's going to allow you to jump a little higher, but you're going to lose a little control
2:38
That's basically it, really. So this is the close bridge one, just like that
2:45
And of course you can also do it reversed. That would be more the pool player way
2:50
So you hold the cue like you're holding normally, so if you shoot normally you're holding like that
2:55
And you can just do it like that. So there's several ways, you know, pick the one you prefer
3:01
And once you're ready, you can attempt the record, which is basically make all these 15 balls as fast as possible out there
3:18
And that's it. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done
3:24
You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done
3:30
You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done
3:36
You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done
3:42
You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. You're done
