hi everyone, i want to ask if there is a way to almost always avoid leaving a 9 ball combo on after an illegal or unsuccesful break (although i'm aware that you can sometimes get an unlucky run of the balls after the break and leave the combo). from my experience hitting the 1 ball a little too...

hi everyone, does anybody else find it more difficult to put on the english required from one side and also find it easier to put on english from the other? this also causes you to have more difficulty potting balls when using english from your weak side. (my weak side is left english). assuming...

hi everyone, i'm a good B player who can run out tables but my problem is in many sets that i play (especially tournament matches), i usually will miss 1-2 easy balls which most likely will cost you the rack at this level. i think in most sets that i play (races to 9), i will miss about 6-7...

hi everyone, i have another question about head alignment since it seems to be one of the most complicated subjects. basically what i want to find out (assuming that i have found my vision centre alignment) is : when coaches advocate that the face should be square to the shot, do they mean that...

hi everyone, i know i've made way too many threads on eye alignment but i noticed something recently that has made me reconsider some things about my alignment. i've done many dominant eye/vision centre tests and some tests were showing that i was right eye dominant while others were showing...

hi everyone i have a question, i have an imperfection in my setup, as i get down into the shot, i kinda roll my grip/fingers (a little forward most of the times) on the cue before i start the practice strokes.could this cause any inconsistencies in getting the cue on the line of aim or stroking...

hi everyone , why is it much easier to draw the ball without miscuing with a closed bridge? when i'm drawing the ball with an open bridge from medieum/long distance, miscues happen much more often.

hi everyone, i have noticed that when cutting shots to my left,the cue looks angled (pointing to my left) and it looks like i'm going to miss to my right. however when cutting to my right, the shot picture looks correct.is this a sighting issue?

hi everyone, i'm wondering if you are an intermediate or even advanced player, (i'm a B' player), how do you find out if your lack of progress or very slow progress is due to bad fundamentals or not practicing enough?or is it both in most cases? i think for most players, in order to get close to...

hi everyone,what are the reasons for the head moving up and down on practice strokes and final backswing?

hi everyone,after taking a photo of my self playing i've noticed that when i'm down on the shot one eye is higher than the other.i wasn't always like that,in the past my eyes were level but i think when i started to make an effort to keep my vision centre online as i was getting down on the shot...

i've made a similar thread like this before but i'm still wondering,what's the most important fundamental for being able to get the cue bang on the line of aim more consistently?consistent back foot placement?correct vision centre alignment?looking at the OB as you're getting down on the...

i have an update from my 'accurate cue placement thread',this is a very probable reason for not being able to place the cue bang on the line of aim consistently. as i'm getting down on the shot,when it LOOKS like the cue is dropping down directly over the line of aim,in reality the cue is...

most top players do it instinctively without much of an effort while the lower amateur players are very inconsistent with this and it's where most of their misses come from . so if you are inconsistent with this and you place the cue slightly across the line of aim sometimes to the left and...

i found an old post here but i can't fully understand and imagine what this person is trying to say: "My reasoning behind accurate bridge placement, first and foremost, is in relation to your shooting arm. Your shoulder is a ball hinge. Your elbow cannot move side to side, swoop in or out...

hi everyone i think this may be a strange question but can body anatomy inhibit someone from having a straight stroke? some people have asymmetrical skeletons (one arm more internally rotated and lower than the other, one leg shorter than the other, pelvis out of alignment etc and conditions...

hi everyone i have a question,if someone has little wobbles in his stroke and isn't delivering the cue straight,how does he know that it is due to something wrong in his technique or due to not practicing enough on straight cueing to groove his upper arm muscles?or maybe because of both of the...

hi all,i encountered a problem with having my chin on the cue last night.when i was doing my practice strokes the cue didn't run smoothly against my chin and sometimes especially on the break the cue was making a small vibration from the contact of my chin which hurt my neck after playing for...

after video-taping myself i found that i have a little side to side upper-arm movement on practice strokes & delivery which cause my stroke to finish offline.i've been having this problem for years now and have tried just about everything from changing different stances,grips,elbow...
