What drills are best to get that smooth stroke like Buddy Hall , or Chris Melling?

I find that jerking your stroke is usually a result of a shot that's outside your skill level or if you're really nervous.

The best trick is to find a shot that you struggle with, like a long straight draw, for instance and do a progressive practise. So you start at a comfortable distance and just focus on keeping the stroke perfect, then gradually increase the distance. Do it with any shot you struggle with. The point is to remove the tightness from those shots, gradually increasing speed while not allowing any jerking of the stroke to occur. ...

This is what I would recommend, too. You have to have good timing to get easy, lively draw. As you work on your draw shots, try to remember the feeling of the shots that work well and do more of those. The draw distance tells you how well you hit the ball.

I’ve noticed a shortage of Samoan and players from the Amazon jungle.
Call for an investigation.

I would say thank you, but there doesn't seem to be a question mark in my post. Because you felt compelled to reduce stats, you completely forgot about the Amazon players. You're not very good at this.

If you want to play detective get back on the case or you’re fired.
We would have to say Goodbye to Hello for failing the Pool Detective team.

pretty much they way i see it. with the death of inner-city poolhalls there's less black dudes playing. most of the top guys were from Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc.

In my area, it's a very pretty even mix of blacks, whites, and mexican players. Pool is just big in general in my state, so most people grew up playing some shape or form.
