    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The shorter players do not need an extension. A standard 58” cue is all they need it allows for plenty of weight behind their grip hand. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the video Straightline. The way he is using his cue is exactly what I have been talking about. The player has maybe 10 or 12" of cue (weight) behind his grip hand. Focusing on and feeling this weight behind his grip hand allows for the release and throwing of the cue. (sliding in...

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    True. The cue slides in the hand. How much he allows it to slide is dependent on the shot at hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    JS releases the cue and then catches it before it leaves his grip hand. True I’ve never seen anyone ever just let go of the cue. John Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey Larry. The snooker stance, as used today, is referred to as the modern snooker stance. The original snooker stance, as used by Joe Davis is the same stance as used by today’s American players. When and who developed today’s snooker stance is open to some research. Joe Davis using his stance...

    Larry, here is another variation of properly lining up your body and feet to the shot line. John

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good Morning Larry. I didn't realize that you may have fundamental issues with letting your shooting forearm fall on the shot line. Just a note for you to consider. You arrange your body and feet in such a way that when you bend over to shoot, your shooting arm (and cue) will fall on the shot...

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Releasing the cue. That’s probably the best way to describe “let the cue do the work”. Watching SVB play Jeffrey Deluna play right now. Jeffery releases the cue and then catches it. Most of Asian players and a few American players also do this. It’s like pitching a softball under handed or...

    Doing well here. Got my first covid shot from the VA on 1/22, get the second shot on 2/12. Back to the topic: Letting the cue do the work. My original post was on 1/9 suggesting that you give my idea a try. Today is 1/25 and I would like to know if you tried my suggestion. What I do everyday...

    how would you shoot this shot?

    I think that something may be being over looked here. Thru the whole rack your telling your mind to make the OB and put the Q ball there. You did this 8 times and now your down to the last ball and you give your mind one instruction.........make the last ball. The thing of this is your mind is...

    LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Larry. The next time your down on a shot turn your focus (during practice strokes and cue delivery) to the cue weight behind your grip hand. Pull the cue back normally then pull the cue forward to finish. The cue will go thru the cue ball naturally to finish any where from 3"-5" after...

    Six ball run out - criticism wanted

    Hey Leigh. I'm not an instructor but may have some advise for you to consider. 1. The cue ball weighs just under 6oz. Your cue (just guessing) weighs 19oz. Thats 3 times the weight of the cue ball. Force is not required to draw the cue ball only the speed of the cue is needed. 2. One...

    Scott won. Thanks Lenny for the videos. Really enjoyed the Straight Pool match. Watching Crane go 150 and out was something to see.

    Lasers and Training for a Perfect Stroke - Duplicate

    Thanks for the video Dan Great idea for feed back. What would be cool is if somehow a person could do an overhead video during working out with the level. You could review the video for even more feed back. That laser level (Huepar) is expensive. But, I'm sure there are less expensive models...

    How can we Noticeably Increase our Sense of Feel and Touch in our Pool Game?

    Thanks for the post CJ. I assume, when you say feel and touch you are referring to the feel and touch you feel in your grip hand as you push the cue thru the cue ball. Thanks John
