    quick question for you all about draw shots

    When the cue ball strikes the object ball and return to me at am angle, is that an indication I am not hitting center cue ball or that the cue ball is not hitting the object ball where I intend?

    quick question for you all about draw shots

    As the title says, I am experiencing something I do not know how to adjust for. When I am faced with a shot where I must draw into position for the next shot after the one I am currently taking, the cue ball does not always return in a straight path. Whether my stroke is good and I draw 5 feet...

    Tip maintenance questions

    I only use the shaper when I replace the tip. I use the scuffer, which on the cue cube I use is also a nickel radius but a finer grit sandpaper texture. I know of other products on the market like a tip pick and a few others. Assuming my tip already has a proper shape, do I need to do anything...

    Tip maintenance questions

    Right now playing with a tiger sniper (m) switching from a kamui black hard. I prefer the contact sound and the energy transfer of the hard tip. My question is this. Should I switch back to hard? Ok, another question about tip maintenance. I have a nickel shaper/scuffer that I use to roughen...

    issue I have with aiming...

    I have tried closing one eye, I find that my muscles required to close my left eye make the vision in my right eye blurry, hence I tilt my head a little. I have considered blacking out the left lens of my shooting glasses. What do you mean you align your stick and the two images form a...

    issue I have with aiming...

    Ok, so without getting too indepth with my medical history here, I have double vision. My eyes do not align to allow me to see one image. I deal with this by rotating my head a tiny amount when I shoot, so my left eye is lower than my right eye, and I am then only shooting with one image (versus...

    problem with mental side of game

    I do try to get to league nights early to play a few games before league starts, I just though that simply playing a game against my buddy isn't really doing much - that it is drills and repetitive shot making that I need to be doing. Am I wrong in that line of thinking? And I don't and never...

    problem with mental side of game

    Thank you for the video, I'll check them out. I am realizing that a lot of what is holding me back is my fundamentals - stance, stroke, preshot routine. I focus a lot on staying perfectly still except my shooting arm during and after contacting the cue ball, but not enough on my grip and...

    problem with mental side of game

    You are correct, I do try to do too much and I get told that by my captain a lot. Any specific (and relatively simple) drills you might suggest if I do find even just an hour a week to myself to shoot?

    problem with mental side of game

    I really appreciate your response. You are correct, I beyond I think I know what to do and how to get position for the next shot, but my skills don't meet the expectations I have. I will definitely look into that book. It will be VERY hard, but I think I need to stop thinking about future shots...

    problem with mental side of game

    I have a problem with my game that I would like some input on. Please allow me to start by saying that for numerous reasons, I do not have time to play beyond my APA league night once a week and the occasional (usually once a month) tournament. That being said, I have been playing off and on for...
