    went to open bridge, things are opening up for me.

    I have fat sausage fingers, and I noticed sometimes even when im trying to hold the cue tightly, I was sometimes getting either wiggle space or movement. which of coarse means either a miss or a rattler. so now im using a nice wide open bridge, and things are going better on my potting balls...

I see guys using 12 to 18 inch bridges, and that never worked for me. more room to wobble. with my fat fingers, a six inch bridge is perfect, I will even creep up a little closer for a nice draw shot. works for me. but just finally not hitting...

    force follow power shot, how to hit?

    maybe a dumb question, but here goes: when I see the pros or really good players hit the force follow power shot, the cue ball just takes off after hitting the object ball. im sure you have seen this shot, and with either left or right high spin, the ball really takes off in that direction. to...
