One technique not in this video is the "Mark Williams" underarm shot for when shot is on the hard to reach side of the table. I've actually seen this one used by a few people and they are quite effective at it.

I've been following Pool Cat for a while now. His explanations for his thought process during a runout and comparing different possible patterns are very helpful. Also the overhead table view is very well done.

That's a neat idea. I'll be giving this a try. The tape might mess with the natural speed of the cloth. but for the purposes of practicing my stroke straightness it should be ok. Love this perspective. Maybe I'm too worried about this. Still, I'd like to do what I can to respect the equipment...

I figured that to be the case. lesson learned. Is there anything I can do to avoid this while doing drills? Getting rid of the stickies might help to make the path less consistent, but I'm afraid I'll still end up shooting a bunch of shots along the same line.
