    Who is a fan of 60" cues?

    What a coincidence. I'm 6-2 and have a wing span of 6-2. I too have the same cue length as you describe above. 8" butt extension (home made - slip on) and balance rite mid extension. With the butt extension I now feel weight behind my grip hand rather than in my grip hand. Allowing for me to...

    Your percent for this drill?

    Good exercise to strengthen your mechanics, vision center and stroke. Shoot the shots as shown, then on the next 15 balls move them 2 diamonds closer to the pockets. A more challenging drill is to use high center cue ball and have it follow the OB into the pocket on all 15 shots. John. :)

    Basic Stroke Question

    Posted by Gray Ghost above: When you have super soft shots.....start with the hand at the finish spot, place the tip a frogs hair away from the CB and pull back small and finish as per normal. Called "short finish" often. it is a complete stroke, despite its at times, extreme compactness. I...

    Timing - What is it.

    Joey. I play with a 70" cue. My arm is slightly forward of perpendicular. I hold the cue with my thumb and index finger. My other 3 fingers never leave the cue they are gently resting on the cue to keep the cue from moving side ways. I have video'd myself from 3 positions, front, back and...

    Timing - What is it.

    I agree with you. I guess snooker coaches look at timing differently than we do. Quote: Timing is all about the cue delivery, which begins with the backswing. Your cue and cue arm have a natural cadence in just the same way as a pendulum in a grandfathers clock or a garden swing. End quote...

    Timing - What is it.

    Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH2PHaGl8Ik&list=PLSCp3dlcNyCFInGBoCUQdyQxmTTipXWgS Since I use a butt extension on my cue my timing is getting better. There are times when I feel in my grip hand that the cue ball is stuck to the tip of my cue. Or feel that the tip of my cue has...

    What About " TUCK & ROLL ???

    Or this. Watch their wrists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqlbpCxxOW4 They aim at center cue ball but deliver the cue to the cue ball depending on what spin they want to use. John
