Help with stroke so I can quit embarrassing myself (Update 2-24)
Hey everyone. I am hoping for a little help with my stoke. I know it can be a little difficult because i have no pics/video of my stoke. Hopefully you guys can give me a little insight on some ideas to try.
Here is the issue,I am occasionally putting right english on my shots. I don't know how or why of course. And it is not consistent at all. It just happens sometime. I do not seem to notice any left english ever being put on the ball mainly just right. I would say maybe one out of three shots. I shot with a measles cue ball at home and notice the spin.
I normally shoot with a closed bridge but have tried an open bridge and do use an open bridge on shots that i need to stretch and the bridge seems to make no difference. Also i have recently moved where I place my back hand, from the bottom of the wrap to the cue butt. That also made no difference.
The reason I say so I can quit embarrassing myself is that the two weeks that i have been in a league on the lag. I have shot on the left hand side. Both times my cue ball has hit the opposing rail and english takes affect and i have hit my opponents ball.
Any help is appreciated.
