Yes, it is only used in practice. How in a competition can it be used to "make certain" that you have fallen down correctly on the shot line? Practice thousands and thousands of times. Here is another idea to practice being on the shot line. From a standing position, you have already determined...

As mentioned above this one stroke method is used to make certain that you fall down on the shot line correctly. CJ Wiley demonstrates this in one of his video's. Nothing wrong with practicing this for a short time. If it doesn't fit into your normal rhythm naturally I would avoid using it in...

Never used a Cuetec cue until a friend of mine bought a Predator cue with a revo CF shaft. hits some balls with it a thought, man, I have got to have one of these. Asked my friend, how much did this cost you, he said $1800. So mush for that, I'm not spending that kind of money for a cue. So, did...

Something to keep in mind is that your stick weight is 3 or 4 times more than the weight of the cue ball. When the cue ball is struck the cue stick will stop for an instant and then continue it's forward motion until the cue naturally slows down or you purposely stop it's forward motion. I never...

No, not at all Bob. What I mean, is when you hold the cue in your grip hand and slap it gently with your other hand the cue vibrates like a tuning fork. Also, the tip of the cue striking the cue ball sounds kind of tinny. Sorry for not being more clear with my post. Thanks John

Have to ask this question. Is it desirable to shoot with a cue that vibrates like a tuning fork. Thinking not, I have installed rubber washers at select positions on the cue to deaden the vibrations. Not only did the washers reduce the vibrations it also changed the sound of the tip hitting the...

dquarasr Read your post and read through many of the other post. I didn't see any mention of what follows so I'll mention it here. Here is where it gets interesting. We all have a parallax error in our vision {some lucky folks don't}. When looking at an object some distance away each eye sees...

Hey Larry, I meet with a friend of mine every Monday and play for a few hours. Last Monday he shows up with a new Predator cue with a revo shaft on it. I had never hit a ball with cf shaft so he let me hit some balls with it. I thought it had a great hit, I liked it. So I ask, what did this...

I'm subscribed to his YT channel. I like his videos. One thing that did get my attention in the aiming video was he never mentioned cut induced throw of the OB when using the ghost ball aiming method using no spin. John

The CTE Pro One Truth Series is on YT. I think all 25 are there. I've watched 8 videos so far and have a bunch more to go. Really an interesting topic. Stan does a great job presenting CTE in a logical and easy to understand format. Thanks Stan. John

The middle finger leads and the ring finger follows during the forward motion of the stroke. It’s a very, very light holding of the cue. Allowing for the wrist to pivot straight forward. Index and little finger do nothing. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Happy to read your giving it a try Larry. Once you get the hang of it you'll never go back to physically pushing the cue and cue ball. In case you may be having an issue with "when to release" the cue I want to offer some guidance. At cue ball address, when your down on the shot and the cue tip...

(Touch) Feel for the cue, cue ball and shot. This is the best I can define "Touch". John

For me the benefit is "Touch" John

And check out the extension on his cue. I can't remember what year Earl started using an extension but he really started something. SVB visited with Earl, in NY for a week or so back in 2017 or 2018. I can only guess, but I would be willing to bet Shane asked Earl why he used an extension...

Physically pushing the cue is not needed to get thru the cue ball. What is needed is to let the cue go thru the cue ball, this is due to the weight and mass of the cue behind the grip hand. I’m enjoying this thread. Wish I knew a pro that uses an extension to talk about this subject. John...

SurfTopics, thank you for your posts. You have described the pool stick action (pull) better than I ever could. I am guilty of pushing the cue thru the stoke most of my pool playing career with some success. But have adapted the pulling stroke into my fundamentals and very happy with the...

Welcome to the discussion. The thread was started by Larry bbb asking about letting the cue go. If you haven’t please read the entire thread. Some interesting posts have been made regarding the releasing of the cue. When I say smaller pro players I’m talking about those players that grip their...
