Perfect Stroke = No Stroke?

I seem to remember reading that Mark Selby moved up from being a jobbing professional to one of the real monsters on the pro snooker circuit when he shortened his stroke (although it is still one of the longer ones). [Edit - I should say that I cannot now find any evidence to back this up]. And Steve Davis said recently that the biggest improvements that most amateurs can make is to shorten their bridge.

It could be that some players have an overly long final backswing because they need the time during this phase to mentally prepare to deliver the cue. If so, then they might want to follow Allison Fisher's lead: she said that the biggest improvement to her game came when she slowed her backswing down. (Logically, this would provide the necessary final preparation time in a shorter stroke.)

Close to fifty years ago when I stopped making balls I started making one stroke or half a stroke. Seemed to help. I would either backstroke as I was getting down, forward stroke only or half a stroke or I would get down, backstroke and forward, one stroke. Seemed to help but I got some strange looks around Buffalo's as I tended to shoot these shots hard too!

I'll do this when I think I am overthinking shots. Seems to work.

Does anyone know the dirt about DCC streamers?

i mean i get it, but xpool also could have made their product better, to make the difference between it and the dark side table streams bigger. more camera angles, shot clock, TPA/stats, better commentary, post match interviews, etc.

i'll add another one, with their platform you can't cast to the tv, from phone or tablet (i haven't tried from the computer). either way with accustats and other platforms you can do that.
