I ran across a YT video of a snooker coach having his student wear this and practicing. So, since I'm in an endless training period, I had to have one. (hinged range of motion arm brace) A friend of mine injured his arm and had to wear this brace for a long time. I asked if he still had it and...

From Paultex Can you tell me what you see in the picture about each ball? Here is what I see. 1. Ball shadows 2. The darkest shadow edges are at the 1/4 ball edge (where the ball and the shadow meet.) The ghost (lightest) shadow is the ball edge. 3. The center of the darkest shadow is the...

Like Barry Stark says, you aim with your grip hand. And like Bert Kinister says in vol. 11 Advanced Fundamentals, you align your body to allow your arm to naturally fall down onto the shot line. Nice post. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First you need to get your body in a position to deliver a natural forward stroke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBFRln32uo Second, you need to read this entire thread. Four pages filled with excellent advise. http://www.thesnookerforum.co.uk/board/threads/43494-the-grip You'll want to...

Good job. Stay with it. I have been working with all of Tor's video's since May of 2013. I was a 14 Day participant. I could only work with Tor for 3 days (24 hrs) due to my work schedule. I really do hope that you are selected for 14 Days. Tor is probably one of the best people you will ever...

[/B] In BOLD and I agree. Nice post Fran. :) I asked a friend of mine back in the late 90's how he got into his stance, he explained to me that when he bends over to shoot he sits down in his stance. I said "What in the world is sitting down in the stance" his reply was "when you bend over...

Good question Dave. I haven't seen any either. I'm going to comment in 6.3 of his videos and see what happens. I copied your questions, worded a little different but the core of the questions remain. The more I watch these video's the more I like CTE. :) John John

Something new for me to mess around with. Thanks Brian. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just keep watching the video over and over. What will happen when you practice is your brain will start to replicate what you have watched. Takes time. :) If you poke at the cue ball you will immediately know you did it wrong. In BOLD above. That's their way of executing a shot. But it may not...

Hey Skip. Watch Mr. 400 363 ball run in 14.1. (1hr 34min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUJ3yLs1Jk8&feature=share What I would like you to pay attention to is his pause (or change of feel for the forward pushing of the cue) he pulls back the cue, stops, then pushes the cue forward, pulls...

I'm not an Instructor. Here is my take. A grip is a firm, strong hold on something. A better word to use would be to HOLD the cue just tight enough to feel you have something in your hand. Whatever holding of the cue you use it must allow for the forearm to close naturally (with absolutely no...

The Difference Between Stroking and Poking Here is a recent video (Jan 9, 2018) of Mr. 400 running 363 balls in 1hr 34min. Good Lord. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUJ3yLs1Jk8&feature=share Notice, he is pushing the cue ball (stroking) and not hitting the cue ball (poking) His back swing is...

I'm not an Instructor. The Instructors in this forum have helped me over the years to keep digging to find my game. Which I still do to this day. The following videos are provided by Barry Stark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi8JnUlmhwA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjjbAkWoHWo...

Welcome to AZB. Hope this helps with your aiming and body alignment. The only thing I would add to this video is, once you see the straight line from a standing position is to walk up to the butt of the cue to see where it is pointing to at on your body. This will be the starting position for...

Happy New Year to all of my forum friends. Talk to you all tomorrow..........going to bed. I've had 70 of these new years. :) John

Happy New Year John

As I pointed out in an earlier post. So now it's 0%, 12.5%, 25%,37.5%, 50%,62.5%, 75%, 87.5% and 100%. I have no idea what the fractional values of these percentages would be. It is neat to mess around with this stuff. I look at the values in BOLD as a beginning reference points. We're are...
