one of the things that Coach Lee stresses in his pool instructional video can be seen at 15:38 in the following video.

This video mark is ONE PERFECT example of what Coach Lee Brett teaches in his video about "getting your cue through the cue ball". In the following video between Landon Shuffett and Earl Strickland you can see what I am talking about at 15:38.

It is a painful experience for Earl, not just the match he played with Landon but this particular shot. He didn't do what Coach Lee says you must do on practically every shot. It's simple, but it is PROFOUND and we ALL make this mistake from time to time. Can you guess what the mistake is?
Coach Lee stresses to make sure you do this particular technique on practically every shot. His video is covered with incredible information that is seldom shared in a video format. You might read some of it somewhere but the video for me sticks. I guess that's because I keep watching it over and over and pick up something that I am doing wrong practically every time I go to the table. Oh-vey....

Be nice Maniac. Overlook Earl's retort.

There's something to be learned from this shot.

I know this is not what you are looking for, but Earl did change his shot line or aim point without standing up, moving his feet to the proper shot line and walk back into the shot. You can see the little movement in his cue during this shot.

I was suprised that he missed the shot anyway, no matter what he did wrong, as much experience as he has. Just goes to show you that you can't assume anything in this game.

He did not land in line. He got down realized his aim was off which is why he lifted his head. He should have stood up and gotten back down on the shot in line. He was just in a hurry. Maybe I am wrong I have been wrong before.... Once....:grin:

I'm sure that was like me, I was wrong ONCE! I thought I was wrong and I wasn't!

Norwood I think you are correct. Notice when Earl gets down his elbo and hand both go to the right at least twice making adjustments, he knew it was wrong, he tried to moved his body parts/stick to compensate. He missed a ball which allowed Landons momentum to accelerate.

I took a lesson from Lee Brett while I was at Tunica. My only regret is I bought a single hour, I should have went for a 3 hour package. Lee Brett has knowledge and knows how to pass it on. Thanks for posting this Joey A.
 
Joey,

I took a lesson with Lee when I was in Vegas this summer for the BCA (I actually just played poker at the Riviera.) It was the best lesson I've had (Since Earl Rapier 20 years ago!) and I'd suggest anyone that has the opportunity to take a lesson or two, and at least invest in the video. Earl was being a "table hugger" and doing his thinking "inside the box" instead of outside, then approaching the table. I agree that his outcome would improve if he implemented Lee's technique in approaching every shot. Nice catch and example of lazy form, and proof that even the best have room to improve. Don't ever stop learning!
 
Can you guess what the mistake is?


he did not finish ... did not get through the cue ball...
 
Yup! Earl didn't line up BEFORE he got down. He just walked over and bent down instead of setting his feet up, getting in port arms and getting aligned before bending over.

BIG lesson for all players!!! NO shot is too simple for the fundamentals!
 
NB92 has the correct answer

Without watching the shot, I would say he didn't finish the shot so it probably hit the rail on the way in.:grin:

Isn't that just Lee-lingo for followthrough?

I'm very serious. It does matter greatly why you miss.

Are you serious? Of course Landon uses CTE/Pro1 on every shot.
