I understand, I read your posts as if you thought the question was purely about bridge length. You bring up a very good point though. I appreciate the input.

I was asking a question in reference to the back stroke being shorter, regardless of bridge length. Neil said that a shorter back stroke (bridge length not making a difference) makes your overall stroke more accurate. The comparison being, long backstroke and long follow through vs. short...

I picked up a diamond professional in Huntsville about 6 months ago. Had Alex Webb come down and put it together. They are out there, you just have to keep your eye out.

Lol thank you for the reply. I noticed you said "practice the right way," what is practicing the right way?

Cool, that's what I was thinking too. I'm excited to try it out. Are there any possible drawbacks to this? Would it work on moderate distance draw shots?

I was watching Alex play, and noticed he had a very short backswing, regardless of his bridge length. He follows through, what I would consider, further than average. For a guy like me, who sometimes has trouble moving the ball around, would I, in theory, have more luck this way? I would think...

I'm looking for a JB rugged case. 3x5 or bigger. Let me know what you guys have.

I am looking to buy predator butts. If price is reasonable I will pay for what's as well, I just already own 4.

Purchased the sp2 and put a kamui clear soft on. It's a great shaft, don't get me wrong, but not really an upgrade over a Z2 or Z3. I own all of the mentioned shafts and plays just about the same. Stiffer, but not better.

Thanks for the replies, it's good to know I'm not the only one that has a sudden slump. My problem is when I play bad, I keep playing to try and figure it out. I'm sure this doesn't always help. I like and appreciate all the points stated above.

Two nights ago I played the best pool of my life. I ran three racks in a set and put together two of those consecutively. I'm just trying to get better. All of a sudden, tonight, I can't make anything. My stroke feels horrible, balls are missing, shape and speed is off. It's like I'm a beginner...

Thanks for the replies. A lot of good insight. Just from playing around with it, I seem to get a lot more cue ball action when I do this. I don't seem to be any more or less accurate, but I feel as if my stroke is "straighter" so to speak. May be in my head, or there may be something to it...

Hey guys, I've been watching a lot of pro pool over the last few months and have noticed a lot of guys (SVB and Mika especially) seem to bring the cue back and then slightly up during the backstroke. What is the "proper" way of doing this? Straight back and straight through, or with a little...

I have played sports my whole life, and a lot of time a males size and strength advantage would put them over the top. Pool is a bit different, Corey Deuel has shown you don't need power to break effectively, so that rules out strength (not his his full break speed, but the way he utilizes the...

Ok, now with all these replies my question has something become: what are the technological differences? I've always liked predator because I feel like they are the most advanced and innovative as far as the technology they use. Poison has to use the same technology, just not the same high end...
