    Middle Finger vs Forefinger

    The Grip can "ruin" the results- even if you re aligned perfectly :-) extremley underestimated fact And of course tough to *fix it* on your own. @ Fran: like your description :-)

    Eagle eye and sightright

    Sight Right - or better said just the knowledge about it should be in everyone s arsenal (coach, instructors). Learnt the "method" and its sense 1983 when i visited London. Taught by a snooker player i met "accidently". One of the most impressive and rememberable moments i had in my pool...

    Mother Drills

    in every practice camp/session use em as a 10-15 minutes warm up. Without an exception. And no matter how "strong" the players are.

    advice for hitting this draw shot?

    The player who s able to adjust faster to given conditions has the necessary advantage to win matches/tournaments. Not long ago Bustamente was in my club for an exhibition- next to the really nice feeling it gave me (good ole days.... lmao)- and seeing him again after a long time, it was just...

    advice for hitting this draw shot?

    In a match i would go for a simple stopshot- that s it. This gives me a clear shot on the 8. Never run in trouble if there s no reason for it. Better a clear simple quarterball hit instead of being hooked :-)
