Thanks for the video. The Ko brothers also demonstrate the stroke slip. It took me almost 8 months to learn and use the stroke slip (your milage may vary). It's a real opener. Then I started watching the pros play and amazed at how many of them use this cuing style. I just let the weight of the...

Takes a couple of weeks to get use to the cue. It's a very stiff hitting cue. I really like mine. Took the weight bolts out of the butt and screwed on the extension. Love it. John

What you are describing here (in BOLD) is a stroke slip not a slip stroke. A stroke slip is very useful on some shots but should be used sparingly for most play. You use it when you don't want to physically push the cue ball where you want it to go. You just let the cue push the cue ball where...

Watched the World 10 Ball Championships2022. The one thing that stuck out to me was how long (in seconds) the very good players stayed at the set position before pulling the cue back to shoot. Some players took as long as 6 seconds before pulling the cue back to shoot. I have incorporated this...

Your right PJ there are no different muscles involved when pulling because the grip hand is leading and the lower bicep is following. When using the pull/push stroke the grip leads until the tip of the cue is at the cue ball then the triceps pushes (grip hand closed) the cue thru the cue ball...

In this video David demonstrates the use of 3 stroking methods. All of which could be used in a single match. Posted for those that are curious and would like to learn. Personally, I lean toward the pull and pull/push strokes. I leave the push stroke alone. Have fun out there. :) John

Bought the JFlowers 3 piece Jump - Break cue a while back. 54" long. That thing hits the balls like a 1/2" piece of rebar. Very little cue speed is needed to break the balls. The cue jumps very well with little effort. At $420 I had to take the chance and glad I did. John

Yeah, I've seen that before. Rather than moving your head from one side of the cue to the other, what is the matter if from a standing position, you just shift your head, either right or left until you see the correct aim line. What would be nice is if Dr. Dave would do a video just using a...

We all (except Brian) have a parallax error in our vision. By head shifting you can eliminate that error to come to a straight aim line (not to be confused with a shot line), how much you shift your head is a personal distance and should be tested by you through testing using the standard...

Man, Ronnie is super human. Love watching him play. John

I just weighed my cue tec extension it is 6-1/2" long (including the rubber bumper) and it weighs 4.3oz. Hmmmm. John

Hey Johnny I'm not an instructor but I would like to offer you something to think about. Would you get the yips throwing a ball, throwing a dart or tossing a horse shoe? Of course not. So why in the world would you get the yips throwing a cue stick at a cue ball. :) My guess is that you may be...

I'm 6-2" tall and have a wing span(ape index) of 6'-2". Playing with a 58" cue was not practical for me since I was gripping the cue at the very end. This resulted in having to push the cue forward. My current cue is an all black CueTec cue SVB series. When getting the cue all factory installed...

Thanks for bringing this thread back to life PJ. Reread the entire thread. John

Thanks Dave. Forgot all about those videos and I'm the one that posted them about 3 years ago. They are interesting and do simplify aiming for beginners. Easy to remember and easy to execute. later. John

I like my JFlowers Break Jump cue. The design and weight of the carbon fiber shaft allows for very little effort when breaking and jumping. $420 out the door.

Thank You.

Yeah, His videos are entertaining and some of the language is pretty colorful. :) John

Give it a try. John
