Teaching these things with a pool cue I believe is impossible
The fact of the matter is, the human body wasn't designed to play pool
With this in mind it's vital to learn how to coordinate the human body that we do have into a "pool playing machine," .....this means your shoulder, arm, wrist and hand must connect to synergistically control the cue.....and even more important, the TIP.
There is a way to do this and it took me thousands of hours to figure it out. Without my 8 years away from the game it never would have happened, it took rebuilding my own game to understand each component and how they work together.
Still, to teach this it's taking me 3-5 weeks (3 hours a week and depending on the student's practice regiment) to communicate verbally and kinesthetically (I use a sword, and various practice devises to create quicker muscle memory), which is really just a foundation that they cal learn from the rest of their lives.
Teaching these things with a pool cue I believe is impossible, it takes something heavier, and interestingly enough it must not be shaped as a pool cue. Our subconscious minds are very powerful - I've found that we can't make congruent stroke changes without completely removing the cue from the equation (to create new habits).......this allows the "anchors" to be temporarily eliminated so the new learning can take place.
