    Length of cues

    Same here. I'm 6'-2" tall and have a wing span of 6'-2" which resulted in my having to hold the cue almost on the butt cap. What I did was remove the factory weight bolt and add my home made 7" extension that weighs 6.7 oz. The trick was to get the weight as far away from my grip hand as I...

    The single most overlooked part of game play: kicking

    Probably the best video on the planet to get you on the right track for kicking is Tor Lowry's video "Kicking and Banking" video. Then incorporate feel and stance. Nice post Jeff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    im on my 4th aiming system in 1.5 years

    Like Bill says here. It's a feel thing. The way I handle it mentally is, after getting down on the shot, I feel like I'm PUSHING the cue ball OFF of the OB. I feel this in my warm up strokes and my cue delivery. Just think " I want to push the cue ball off of the OB ball." You have to feel it...

    How to develop a "trigger"

    I can tell you what Mark Wilson teaches in his clinic. Goes like this, At the final pause at the cue ball as you bring the cue back say to yourself "ladies", as the cue stops on the back swing say to yourself "and", as the cue moves forward say to your self "Gentlemen" the tip strikes to cue...

    Mark Wilson Pool Clinc on YouTube

These videos helped me to better understand Chapter 3. Thanks Mark and hope you continue to produce...

    Developing Expertise In Pool

    Welcome back Imac007. Enjoy your posts. Years ago Earl Strickland began playing with an extension on the butt of his cue. Everyone just shook their heads at this idea. Fast forward to about 2017. SVB spent a couple of weeks with Earl in NYC while playing in a tourney. Shortly afterward SVB...

    Need help with aiming. CB always goes right.

    Good. The follow-thru of the cue thru the cue ball is not forced. What I mean by that is you do not physically try to push the cue to and thru the cue ball. It is the momentum of the cue weight being pulled forward that creates the follow thru. My advise to you is to seek out an instructor in...

    Need help with aiming. CB always goes right.

    Your stroke looks like your trying to PUSH the cue forward. This introduces unwanted tension in your grip and forearm. Learn to let the weight behind your grip hand do all the work. All you have to do is start the weight forward straight and it will stay straight unless of course you do...
