    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    ye that changes things lol. a perception error u leave tf alone. stroke errors are different bc as bob mentioned earlier, the compensation varies with speed and distance. makes sense tho. cuz u had quite a swerve before when u were coming away in your backswing and then back across it...

    GregCantrall.... I thought that's what you were doing when you said thank you for your input. It was how I read it anyway. Nearly spit up my drink.

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    Fair enough. And I generally agree it is best to see things as they are. However, when I went through this myself I found that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It would be one thing if potting angles were affected, but just perceiving where the tip is striking the CB? Adjusting my tip...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    You can scroll up and read his update yourself. But basically when he lines up at actual center it looks a bit to the side. So rather than change anything with his eye setup, he simply lines up to what looks like a bit to the side (which is actually center) and by doing so got very reliable...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    What we are talking about is that center looks a little off to the side for him. He adjusted by just aiming up to what looks a little to the other side so that he is actually lined up to center. Then he got very consistent results cueing through center ball with this adjustment. It is...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    What I'm saying is DQ has shown it is as easy given he returned the CB to his tip 10/10 times. Even if that is a likely over performance as 10./10 is really hard to do, that test, along with his jacked up pots show definitively that he can reliably find the center axis with his simple...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    Just as easily, if you know your rifle is 6" left from a given distance, you can tinker with the setup or aim the sites 6" right. I went through this years ago and at first approached it your way and tried to make sure I perceive center as center. As soon as I realized this would not be a...

    played in my first tournament (long winded recap)

    Ye ur right I knew the guy playing for $100...we built up from $5/game. But it wasn't just that the guy was new to me. Everything was. I never played in that pool room. Never played with a substantial rail of onlookers (tho nobody cared about the match between a bad regular and the new...

    Yes. At a minimum, the cue should have clearance and be unobstructed through delivery. But once that basic necessity is met, there can be quite a range of exactly how far away from the body the grip hand is. This will vary from player to player. Stance angle and anatomy play a role here...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    what im saying is that both boil down to a consistent relationship between where the tip appears to line up and where it actually hits. If this is predictable and consistent, it is far far easier to just adjust where you aim up.

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    What are you improving with this change if he can already hit center axis 10/10? and make long jacked up shots, indicating the perception issue seems to just be at the CB but potting angles are unaffected (this was the case for me when I had this 'issue'). Same with example 2.... do you tell...

    Anything like that would fall under 'stance' so look for it in his back to basics: stance vid. Any answer other than "it depends" is wrong tho. Just sayin. lol This will vary from player to player, esp dependant on their stance angle and personal anatomy (i.e. short armed heavy woman is going...

    Stroke Analysis - Doug Quara

    Couple questions: 1. If he has compensated for his misperception of centerball to a point he can send the ball down table and have the CB return to his tip 10/10 times (at least in that attempt, but assume 8/10 or better), what exactly is the benefit you are looking for that is worth investing...

    What Do You Look For in a Pool Instructor

    Neat trick for aiming masses which makes em easier to predict... take the center of the CB where it is resting on the table and draw a line to where the cue tip would contact the cloth if you cued str8 through. That line is the plane of spin and the final line the CB will take will be...

    Growacet was an alltimer. I even stole it and after my buddy played safe on me in a friendly dick around game I offered him a tic tac saying it's a Growacet which will make him 2-3x more likely to actually bank a ball in a friendly game. Literally had to go out and buy tic tacs for the gag...
