Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

I tried playing left handed - once.
Looked like a developmentally disabled blind gorilla with Parkinson's.

Never forgot a pistol match. The stage was six shots strong hand unsupported, reload, six shots weak hand supported. Both groups were fired at the head area of B-27 targets. I think the range was ten yards. I let a shot trickle out the side of the strong hand unsupported target! Annoyed, I hit a reload and came up with the weak hand supported. Sounded like full auto fire, dead center of the "head" and a tiny hole, tiny for a forty-five rapid fire anyway, I could squeeze two fingers through it. Another Master shooter was watching from behind me, "You are better when you shoot fast!"

I have found that most left handed pool shots can be covered by a standard bridge and moving my grip hand across in front of my body. The stick is in the left hand position but I am shooting with my right hand. Saw a pro use the same technique many years after I started just from the left hand being too stupid to handle shots.

I often wonder why we use the less coordinated hand for bridging and the more coordinated hand for just holding a loose grip. Doesn't seem right.

Cues for Sale... Without Extensions

Ok, so it's a slip on. That's pretty cool, never seen one made out of wood.

I know a couple folks that use a variation of this one, but it's aluminum.
The wood feels more natural to hold than metal or plastic and the extension is long enough to position your hand very
comfortably. The only caveat is at some point you could get so extended attempting your stroke you only push the cue.
That’s OK if the OB is close to a pocket but for attaining shape, you still must stroke the CB instead of just pushing it.
