I have always done a very similar method yours described but IMO even easier to see.....(I have never bee very good at the off into space marks) .....Obviously my Green Lines are quick crude inserts so may not be exact......It is not the official name for it but I have always called it the "mini...

I never have liked devices that "force" you to make a straight stroke.....Why??? Sure you learn through reputative motion to repeat something 100 times.....The problem with the device though is it does not address the root cause of why your stroke is not straight....Even though you have a bad...

Absolutely.......IMO part of what makes a good instructor is his/her ability to read and adapt to what the student wants/needs. An identified recreational type player...(perhaps a student that enjoys league play and social interaction) bat wants to get better may quickly burn out from...

The trick (as an instructor) is to be able to watch the students "true" warm up.......As a Golf instructor (and I would suspect it would apply to a pool student as well) I would watch the students focus change from their "normal" warm up to a "impress my instructor" warm up as they became aware...

My thoughts flashed back to the days of my youth and the Pinewood Derby races. I then thought.....I wonder how long that print takes. Then of course it was the beginning of this scene......The OG Stimp.

I would tend to agree with......if it were boiled down to stats........ the bell curve would most likly lean more toward a thick hit.....aka undercut. What is totally being left out of this equation though is the mirror effect........There are many a player that will see shots different cutting...

I mentioned that same thing either earlier in this thread or the other joining thread.....It got ignored. I guess I will give him the benefit of doubt.....Perhaps B,C,D players in his area all do indeed overcut that shot. In my neck of the woods however..... B players tend to miss...

Aiming an Alignment are one in the same......Everyone uses a/a even if on a subconscious level....aka even if they don't realize it.......but no two brains are the same....so a method that works for one may not work so well for another.....but most everyone should be able to find one that fits...

I agree with Bob....half is half.....Now is it half full???.....or half thin?????.......;) Personally...I think unless you are into physics....the term "contact point" can be thrown out of pretty much any pool related conversation and the terms "aim or alignment points" are all that is...

So I guess that comment I hear all the time...."He missed it on the pro side" is a bunch of BS???? IMO....Pros and general players overcut and undercut shots equally......It just depends on the player and day if they are over or under cutting. The "hope" for any player is to miss consistently...

I have used pretty much this method (with a slight variation) of shooting for a long time now....Every time I try a different method I end up going back to this since it is so easy to use I always start center CB.....I have tried to describe it multiple times on various threads but it has always...

The one thing that never seems to get mentioned (on the draw shot) is the amount of tip movement from intended contact point.. It is fairly well known that with BHE side to side movement.....the longer the bridge length the more tip movement you get with smaller amounts of Back hand...

So...where is the line drawn...I know of a past top flight player that won a pro event that played with a piece of chalk held a certain way in his grip hand...I know of others that wear watches on the grip wrist (for the weight factor)....what about rings?....what about the Micheal Jackson...

Assuming you have already been to Barefoot Bob's.... Proximity wise.........Bullshooters and/or nearby Metro will be your first stops........Bullshooters pit tables are usually good for some kind of action......Another 45 min to hour and you can be to Main Street or even all the way out to...

Well...you are sure welcome to report my post...but you may want to re-read it first after pulling your head out your arse... I don't know of any sneaky YouTube link I posted ....Other than an OBVIOUS joke in my signature which is not "marketing" and is in every post I make since it is a...

This is very much a device for someone that holds the cue in the middle two fingers and uses the middle two fingers pretty much as the fulcrum.... For me....The first finger and thumb are just along for the ride...pointing down......(very much like a Golf grip) The pinky is not the fulcrum for...

I don't necessarily disagree...but if no rule is in place against it????? ....The initial intent was a grip/stroke training aid....I am messing around with putting it on and taking it off....seems like I play better with it on....but I do notice that my grip without it has also improved from the...

Playing around with and Auto Grip Experiment....I am quite sure some of you jokers will say this is the dumbest thing since....well....ever....and it may not even work for some that grip with the first finger and thumb.....so you can ignore I guess...🙃 If you grip like I do...with the middle...

I was not referencing long or short slide.....I was referencing a yes or no questioned option...... Depth perception plays a role in this as well....Since you can hardly ever get your eyes directly over the CB when placing the tip.....It is much more precise to slide up rather than plolp down...

So other than disturbing the cloth and perhaps moving the CB what is the difference of sliding slightly on the cloth vs in the air.? To me it looks akin to a plane coming in for a landing......When the bridge is on the rail it is like a plane landing on an air craft carrier....hits and...
