Back to the Tip Drill

[Tony_in_MD]

Use a couple of golf tees if you don't have that type of bridge.

If you don't have golf tees then two balls will do as well.

Naturally, you can adjust the balls or golf tees to your ability level, with the plan of setting them up closer together as you get better.

Another test of cueing accuracy, down the center axis of the cue ball, is this drill (first 20 seconds of this video):

3kushn, I'm not sure if you have access to a "spider rest" like this, but if you do, you're in luck. Just shoot the cue ball under its legs, and have the cue ball rebound back under those legs, returning to your cue tip.

Now *that* is straight cueing!

Tony, thanks for the golf tee suggestion. This thread is going to cost me enough money without buying more equipment.

All great drills by the way.

Scott, we'll be talking about this Friday but I think (maybe in misunderstand both comments) that Onepocket/Fran is talking about moving the tip to correct the error rather than adjusting head, eyes, body position for a proper view.
