    interesting stroke discovery

    FranCrimi, what is meant by the explanation in bold? moving the hand forward on the cue correct? "hand up" is a bit confusing to me... it can mean many things, like lifting the hand up a bit... which i think is not what you meant.. thanks

    interesting stroke discovery

    I would agree with Bob here. Tim's aliignment technique might get your body and arm aligned with the line of aim, but if you're left eye dominant player like me ,this won't exactly work [update, im right eye dominant.. just checked. so i was wrong all these years , lol ], also it depends on the...

    interesting stroke discovery

    I'm glad it's working for you Bob! I've done the grip adjustment in the past like you and yes it did help but you might be careful not to put any pressure on the first two fingers as it can create "new" problems. (dont want to jinx you though!) FranCrimi - You might be dead-on solving my...

    how to smooth-out a shaft

    hi, while moving around the table after my shots, i lifted up my cue stick and the shaft accidentally touched the side of the lamp above the table, checked the shaft and it seemed fine. after a few games I felt there was a place on the shaft where the wood was not smooth, meaning the lamp...

    interesting stroke discovery

    nice one. but it's not as simple as it seems. when you say you "made sure your hand drove towards your shoulder instead your pecs on the follow through", how did you do that exactly? did you move your feet and body to an entirely new stance, or did you just adjust while stroking mentally...

    WTB: photo copy of TARGET POOL (Kim Davenport)

    Since there are barely any original copies left. I'm willing to pay some reasonable price for the scan (or photocopy) of the book covering all the exercises. I used to own the manual but gave it to a friend. I'm selling some cues also (check my posts). I'm willing to sell my "almost new" Mezz...

    Stance Fundamentals

    thanks again FranCrimi - worked on grip and stance some more, shot making improved by at least 50%. I noticed Mika Immonen is standing with his back foot slightly inside the line of the shot, in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwf3YFVRHu8

    Stance Fundamentals

    Thanks. really good advice, reading and imagining it feels right [for the opposite eye dominant type]. It's a good example because you can clearly see that he is opposite eye dominant. First I think we can most agree that back foot being in line with your shot is a good starting point towards...

It's a short summary of my thoughts/feelings on the subject , collected over the past 10 yrs. I'm oppposite eye dominant and have been struggling for years to get into a stance of...
