Thanks for sharing those. As I also demonstrate in the video, bending the thumb down can create an adequate "V" facing the shooter. As I mention in the video, each individual needs to find what works best for them as an individual.

Yes. That is very common.

That's always the best approach, assuming the choices are effective.

The only times I use a closed bridge are when: hanging over the cushion when shooting a draw shot along a rail. using a large amount of sidespin with fast speed with obstacle balls nearby.

A closed bridge can certainly be stable and effective, but an open bridge offers advantages.

Tightening the grip and arm are way worse than elbow drop in terms of getting what I call “Cue Schwing.”

FYI, I just posted a new video that shows all the things you should consider if you want your open bridge to be as perfect as possible for the best results. Check it out: Contents: 0:00 - Intro 0:20 - Background 3:11 - Adequate “V” 5:14 - “V” Facing You 5:37 - Cue Off the Flesh...

The chalk marks are not very visible, but they are there. It was sent to me directly from Taom.

I used the green Taom V10. I guess it is possible there could be slight variation from one batch to the next. The chalk I used is also a couple of years old, so maybe that is a factor too.

In the YouTube comments on this video, many people claimed Taom V10 is better, playing cleaner and resulting in fewer skids. I decided to put their claims to the test: Check it out.

FYI, Vimeo is discontinuing their VOD (Video on Demand) service, but they have an alternative service called OTT (Over The Top) that works almost exactly the same way. I recently converted all my instructional products to the new service. It was a painful process, but people can still purchase...

It depends on the “box” and the company and whether the balls are waxed before shipping (which should not be done). I have seen brand new “out of the box” balls throw very little at first (because a waxy polish was used). The problem with this is as the wax starts rubbing off different parts...

Thanks, CoCo.

Thanks, Stu. As always, well stated with good added perspective.

Agreed.
