I noticed that some pros drop there elbow in line with the shot. While some pro's elbow, like earl's, fly out to the side. Maybe there is no easy answer to this, but my question is this. What causes the difference?

I have been trying a stroke drill where you place the cue ball and object ball two diamonds from the top rail and bottom rail diagonally.(mighty x) You then shoot the shot into the corner and try to make the object ball, and follow the ball in with the cue ball.(scratch) My question is, do you...

Does anyone know why the United States (1 country pop. 300,000,000) matches up with the entire CONTINENT of Europe, which consists of 50 countries and 750,000,000 people? Doesn't seem like an even playing field to me.

Has the definition of proper fundamentals changed in the last 75 years. If so, is it reasonable to expect that if the new fundamentals are superior to the old ones, that the modern generation of players has surpassed the previous in skill?

Maybe this is a stupid question, but here goes anyway. If your elbow and shoulder are not in perfect plane with the cue(a little chicken wing) and you execute a pendulum type stroke(movement from elbow down only) is it physically possible to move the cue in a straight line? I think not but I'm...

I used to grip the cue with only my thumb and forefinger touching the cue. I have been trying to change it to where all of my fingers are on the cue. Since doing this I have noticed that towards the end of my backswing the friction from my pinky sliding up the cue causes it to rotate a little...

I noticed while watching myself straight on in a mirror that I have developed a bit of a chicken wing elbow away from the body. So I figured, that the best way to fix it would be to stand in the mirror and stroke back and forth holding my elbow in the proper position. I feel like to do this, I...

I have been observing my stroke in a mirror and I have noticed something strange that happens on power strokes like extreme draw or follow. I use a pendulum stroke and when i do my warmup strokes my rear elbow is in proper plane, but after my stroke is completed I freeze and look in the mirror...

I have always used the pendulum stroke, but one thing has always bothered me. When my rear hand strikes my chest the tip of my cue snatches to the left. I know this happens after cue ball contact is made and has no effect on the cue ball, but it is a little bothersome. Am I doing something wrong...

I have been analyzing my fundamentals lately and I have noticed a habit that I developed. I'm not sure it is necessarily a bad habit but my rear grip hand knuckles make about a 20 degree acute angle with the line of the cue. I tried turning my hand back into the cue to where my knuckles and...

The other day i decided to analyze my stroke with a video camera (Yikes). I know i am not an instructor and that i cant recognize problems like an instructor would. Having said that, there are some problems in my stroke that i have uncovered. First, I have always used my chest as a guide...
