evergruven,
I have an iron clad rule I follow whenever I set up tough shots to practice.
Make the shot, it might be luck. Do it twice, it might be a coincidence. But
pocket the shot 3x in a row and you are likely to have it down so I use 4-5x.
If you don’t have a training ball like I mentioned, substitute any striped ball.
It isn’t as revealing as the semi-hemisphere design of the Elephant training
cue ball but it works. Got a 9 ft table? Take ball in hand and stroke the cue
ball from the kitchen down and back but not so hard as to bounce it off the
head rail more than a few inches. Heck, just play it like a lag stroke but do
It 4-5x in a row with no wobble or wiggle on the stripe positioned vertically
on the felt. With a stripe this wide, any movement (wiggle or wobble) on the
OB will not be as noticeable as with the Elephant cue ball but it does work.
You must stroke through the cue ball smoothly to avoid the cue ball acquiring
any wiggle or wobble. But shoot hard and CB speed disguises a flawed stroke.
