This is a great post. The only thing I would add is the palm of the hand is used to feel the cue ball thru the stick. The lighter you feel the cue in your grip hand palm the better you can feel the QB. Also, one or two of your fingers, be it the index, middle, or ring can be used as a trigger...

I may be able to help. Please PM your question. John

Soft Please Thanks RJ John

Well, it's been 8 weeks and approx. 8000 balls shot using the Range of Motion Arm Brace. I'm very happy with the end result. It was necessary to go the whole 8 weeks and a bunch of shots to allow for my muscle memory to store the new movement. My arm only closes naturally one way. So what I...

Interesting post Pat. From a standing position I line up the CB vertical center line with the contact point on the OB. Once this is done I determine what kind of spin I want to use. Lets say, high right, (cutting an OB to the left) I then come down on the shot with the left side of my cue on...

This doc was taken from a pretty good snooker coach from the UK. I copied everything he wrote. Good stuff. I tried to tell a friend of mine to not try to push the cue ball with his forearm. I told him the the lower bicep is designed to pull the forearm closed which in the end pushes the cue...

Thanks. downloaded app. Will put it to use next Monday April 2nd. How do I get rid of Rich and Dennis. When I enter my name and my partners name and then exit the app. Then open the app again Rich and Dennis names appear rather than my name and my partners name. I have to re-enter my name again...

Your not building your stance to allow for the shooting arm to close naturally on the shot line and your vision center could be off, which would effect your lining up on the shot line. As posted earlier, a frontal video will tell you right away what the issue is. John :)

See the videos in post #4, these may help with your stance. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=470925 John

Here is the method I use to align my body with the shot line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBFRln32uo and another example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPn3Wzp4NT8 John :)

Here is a nice series on the grip as taught by Barry Stark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKOy9gWj0nk In one of the videos he talks about using a trigger finger to get the cue moving forward. I use my index finger, like pulling the trigger on a firearm. Barry uses his ring finger. Hope this...

Yup. This is covered very well in Daniel Coyle's book (or DVD set) The Little Book of Talent (the best book on the planet for learning how to learn). I have the book and DVD set. I listen to the DVD's while driving. Pandora can wait. Welcome back Pat. Your insight into the cuing sports is...

For position play I highly recommend Bert Kinister's Tight Pockets 60-Minute Workout for 9-Ball. This will teach you how to get from one ball to another, to another, and to another in the pattern. It teaches feel. For pattern play the earlier posters have recommended the best. John :)

A friend of mine who is a custom cue builder here in the St. Louis area has designed a new jump cue. I have 1 of 3 made. I saw his when I was at his house and said "what in the heck is that" he said "that's a jump cue I make" and I said "mind if I try it out". He has his own table so I gave it...

Thanks Chuck. The site has been bookmarked. John

Watched the videos, interesting. I did a complete 800 word write-up on this very subject about 3 years ago. Now there are 5 short videos to help explain the write-up content. Thanks for posting. :) John
