Thoughts on players who seemingly take Zero practice strokes, before shooting / final follow through?

Yeah actually I use a method or rather for this exercise i used a method of aiming I call cross the flag. It's going to sound complicated to explain but it makes sighting the proper aim line rather easy.

So I visualize a solid line the width of the ball coming back from the pocket through the object. Ball and continue that line out to where the cb is. Then I make a box using the tangent line from the ob and the parallel line to that on the cb.

It ends up looking like a flag with the line from the pocket being the pole. Then I cross the line from the cb to the ob, hence the term crossing the flag.

That line is the aim line. I know it sounds complex but in practice it gives an easy full visualization of the shot line that is accurate for all angles.

In the video when you see me standing in line with the ob. That is what I'm doing.


It gives an accurate contact point to contact point visual cue.

A diagram of this would be helpful. Could go in the aiming sub-forum.

Some nice Maple Burl sets. Been dried for ages. Fully stabilized and very dense. I wiped some clear on them so you can get a better look.

I’ve been sitting on too many of these. If these sell I’ll dig up the rest of them. PM me with any questions.

1. 11 1/4 x 1 5/8 - 4 3/8 x 1 3/8 - 190.00 shipped.

4. 11 15/16 x 1 11/16 - 4 7/8 x 1 5/8 - 150.00 shipped. There is a crack on the very end of the blank. Super stable and shouldn’t be an issue but I’m gonna sell this one for less because of the slight risk and uneventful butt piece.

Adams/Balabushka Identification

Going by the very first phamplet, the nickel ring in the shaft collar is slightly more centered and thicker than later creations of this series. Not sure if that solves it, but this is the joint collar ring I'm talking about. Also the wood section of the shaft tenon is quite thick. This actually does not look like the shaft tenon in Matt's picture. This first run must have started in Japan early 90s or so. This picture also shows the brown bumper that @Chopdoc mentioned. You may have to get the phone out and enlarge the picture to see all of this.

Thanks for sharing this post. This puts it in perspective for me, but I have a question. For a person with 8-10 inch bridge, would you suggest a regular shaft or a LD?

If you want an 8-10 inch bridge, play with a shaft that is 8-10 inches for the pp. You don't want to mess around with trying to figure out where it is all the time. Trust me, it's tedious.
