You can develop a great stroke with practice.
these balls arent "greased"
the yellow goes 2 rails into the white
then goes forward to make the billiard......

Larry; this shot does NOT need a new cloth or silicone on the balls to make it!!!
BTW, Maybe the 'scientific gang' can explain with, physics and science, how the CB reverses direction in mid air after contacting the OB!
I've shot this shot many times in exhibition, and have NEVER used ANY foreign substance on the balls!
This shot, buy Miguel Torres MUST have silicone to be made in this way!

As with many aspects of pool/billiards/snooker if you practice stroke shots you can improve. Some people will go further than others. Some are hampered by their basic physical characteristics-- few of us are as strong as Mike Massey. Some seem to have given up before they start.
Earl has a great force follow shot and can draw his
ball back jacked up or jumping... what shouldn't
be learned is he curls his back hand in.. he somehow
compensates for that.
Efren has a beautiful stroke, even with his long bridge,
he gets a lot of action on the cue ball.
I loved to watch The Miz whenever I could.. what a
great stroke.. talk about follow through!

Two keys to a good stroke
Half has been said a few times, hitting the cue ball exactly where intended.
The first half hasn't been talked about as much and makes hitting the cue ball exactly where you want to much easier. Draw the cue back slowly or slow to a gentle stop or transition. Then slowly start forward building speed as the stroke progresses. Jerking into the beginning of the forward stroke is one of the most common flaws to bad strokes. Nice thing is that the smooth transition and stroke can be practiced anywhere with just a cue stick and anything to rest your bridge hand on.

bbb, Larry; here's a variation of the shot Gonzales plays ,that I used to play in exhibitions. My shot is somewhat easier than his. In exhibitions, you want to attempt trick shots you can make within 3 tries!
Short cushion first, then contact the white ball, (which is frozen), then back to the long cushion and out of the corner to score the point!

Your graphic's a little misleading - the CB can't be hit that far from center without miscuing.

billiard books commonly show english points like that
