so I screwed up my bridge hand, hopefully not for too long, but meanwhile, I gotta get my fix, right?
I've shot one-handed a few balls, a few fun games, but always on a lark, never because that was my only option.
tonight I shot that way, because it was my only option..and it was interesting.
I actually shot pretty good, made a lot of balls, straight-in no prob, banks were fun, and cuts, I think it almost felt easier shooting those than when I'm with two hands!
and this is why, I think.
one-handed, I felt forced to stand up when shooting.
normally, I get right down on the cue, snooker- style. I like shooting that way, it comes to me naturally, and it seems to work ok.
but tonight, having the bird's eye view of everything really made me feel comfortable in a way I haven't been used to.
like I said, on most shots, but especially on tight cuts, it felt like I could see where I wanted to hit the object ball a lot better, than when I'm down on the cue.
this said, getting position was tough one-handed. and I think that's a big reason why I like getting down on the cue, so I can see where I'm hitting the cue ball, for position's sake.
but just for visualizing where to contact the object ball, having a macro look at everything really seemed to help.
I should add that before this, when the cue ball and object ball are very close, I often stand up more when I shoot. again, always kind of done this naturally-
it seems obvious, and I guess I kind of knew it before, but now, I really know why
anybody relate? learn anything from shooting, holding your...keys?
