    Here is a neat little device

    Completed my third week Saturday using the brace. I am really happy with the results I'm seeing so far. I hit about 200 balls a day with the brace on. At no time do I practice without the brace. I play a friend of mine every Monday (without the brace of course) and pay attention to my PSR and...

    Why we miss banks: short bank part two

    Thanks Mohrt and Brian. Have been using the spot on the wall (chair, table, beer bottle, glass of water, whatever) for a couple of decades. I was first introduced to this system from watching Grady Mathews video's. This system is great for 1,2,3 or 4 rail shots. Knowing how to use the system...

    Just to lighten things up a little. Now this is funny. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkRNFyng06I The brace that was given to me is fully adjustable for different length arms. The attached photos show the length adjustments, notice that the part of the brace for the wrist is shaped like...

    All very good questions Dave. The brace allows for your shooting arm to be relaxed using only the triceps and lower bicep. The brace hinges in one direction only so you better make sure that the upper arm is on the shot line. Played my weekly game today and I'm happy with the results so far...

    An excellent post. We are all different. What works for one may not work for another. Yeah, the eyes lead and the body follows. That topic is quite another issue. John

    Same thing here only from another player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPn3Wzp4NT8&t=14s And then you have Snooker Coach Barry Stark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuaNdCU64R4&t=335s I use my index finger as the trigger. I don't pull the trigger, I squeeze the trigger, like firing a...

    I know you have seen this before but Bert's advise in this video is really important to get your arm on the shot line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBFRln32uo If you have any questions after a few days of practice come on back and post. John :)

    Good for you Larry. What I have here on my table is a straight line (use a chalk line or long straight edge) running diagonally from one corner pocket to the other. On that line I have a white doughnut (cue ball position) in the kitchen, moving down that line I place a doughnut every other...

    There is no manufacturers name on the one I have........looked everywhere. :( Your best bet would be to go to Amazon.Com and type, in the search window, Hinged Range of Motion Arm Brace. They are kinda pricey. Just try to match the one I posted to one of the ones offered. I got mine free for...

    Hey Larry You would have to put the brace on and hit some balls to feel the benefits it offers. It positions (due to it's design) the arm and wrist to close from the elbow down naturally with no tension. You can drop your elbow if you wish, the goal is when you do drop your elbow after contact...

    Thanks for the link. I certainly would never suggest that someone wear the device in actual play in the field. It's a tool to be used at home on your table. My intent was to help folks learn to "hit from the elbow". This would be a good training aid for those students that try to shoot with...

    Here is a YT video that may help to explain the benefits of practicing with a "hinged range of motion arm brace." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZZTsSKazrY The brace corrects for most, if not all of the issues shown in the video. John :)

    Here is where I got the tip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sycIur0G_w Just started using it this morning. Have practiced shooting in 90 long straight in shots using center ball (stop shot) and high ball (cue ball following the object ball into the pocket). With my focus on the elbow pivot...
