    Controlling draw

    Just want to say thanks for the help Scott - After my last lesson with you I worked hard on improving my stroke . What really made the difference was using a close bridge , witch was hard for me because I've used an open bridge ever since I've been a kid . It took me about 2 months to get used...

    Controlling draw

    I have been working on my draw shot for some time now and about 2 months ago something clicked and I can draw the ball back with no problem now . What is the best way to control how far back I want to draw my shot. Is it in my cue speed or in my cue tip placement (high or low)on the cue .

    Aiming problem

    Most of the time I have a decent game and I also have streaches where my aiming and cue ball control is almost perfect . My problem is I go in these slumps where my aiming goes to hell and I can't figure it out . I've had lessons with Scott and I work on the mother drills a few times a week ...

    Follow thru

    For the past 2 weeks I have been having problems with follow shots that I want to bank and bring down the table or maybe go off 2 rails . I'm stroking the ball good on all my other shots ( draw and stop ). Just when I need to push the ball any distance I miss the shot . I'm going to start...

    Ball in hand

    It seems like I should look at each shot at the percentage of me making it verse hiding the cue . The league is partners so hiding the cue when I can to get ball in hand for my partner is the way to go . With this in mind , cue ball control is even more important .
