I have to disagree. Changing cues has rarely if ever helped anyone improve. It's not about the piece of wood in your hands. It's about what the player does with it. Consistency comes from doing the same things the same way every time. Rock solid stroke mechanics and pre-shot/shooting routines...

As others have said, this gives you a more precise view of the intended contact point, as well as the line to the pocket you need the target to travel on. Visualization is a critical part of the pre-shot routine. The more information your eyes send to the brain, the clearer the shot becomes in...

THANK YOU! You and Randy need to KEEP YPUR CLLOTHES ON!

Sideways. Head rail to 2nd or 3rd diamond, Center, and Foot rail up. Steve

Since every layout is different, there is no standard rule. I usually divide the table into thirds if possible to keep my shots shorter. Then I try to save the area where the 8 is for last. Of course, if you have problem balls, the whole thought process changes. Steve

If I had to pick one thing, I would have to say a consistent, repeatable stroke.

John Morra has as near to textbook stroke as any pro I've watched. Steve

Physiqz. You can contact me directly at shjennings@hotmail.com. I would be happy to discuss your options. Or just call me at 980-253-0211. Steve (Scott. Thanks for the referral. Looks like you're having fun at your instructors class!}

I second the vote for Denny.

I got the same e-mail. Deleted it!

Consistency comes from doing the same things, the same way, every time. First thing you need is a consistent, repeatable stroke. This is something any qualified instructor can work with you to develop. Once you have the stroke mechanics, you need to build your routines and checklists for the way...

You have the best offer you could hope for. Get with Scott.

I frequently have my students think backward, ie, where do you want to have the cue ball for the nine ball? Where do you need to be on the 8 to get that position? and where do you need to be on the 7 to get that position on the 8? That get's them thinking about the entire pattern and build a...

Thank you. I think the instructors who spend time here are the ones who actually love teaching as much, if not more than, playing. Steve

Neil's reply is dead right. Steve

Charlotte close enough? Call me. 980 253-0211 Steve

Absolutely. Moving toward the more snooker style stance is often the only adjustment needed to compensate for exceptional assets. Steve

You need to be having this discussion with your instructor, not on the internet. It sounds like you are looking for someone to give you the answers you want. Either you have complete faith in your instructor, or you find another instructor. Doing anything else isn't being fair to your instructor.

Charleston is not that far from Charlotte. I would be willing to work with you if we can come up with a time that would work for both of us. Our 2 day advanced level class will give you all the tools and knowledge to put you on the right track to continued improvement. One weekend could...

Consistency is the greatest benefit from having your own cue. Most production cue brands have similar characteristics. The shaft needs to be straight and it needs a good tip. Beyond that, most of the cost goes into the decoration of the butt. I do recommend investing in a nice hard case to...
