John Novak posted an instruction link in the thread regarding the proper way execute the opening break in straight pool.
I was looking through that link and happened upon this particular secondary break shot. I found this diagram very interesting and I never saw it mentioned before so specifically. Good job to whom ever posted it!
The directions of keeping a loose grip for this shot are ABSOLUTELY right on. While it is (IMO) so very important to do this on this shot , I was surprised to actually read it. Sometimes, some of the things we do after playing for years seems just one of those things we do.
It was interesting to read.
It is amazing how much differently the CB releases itself from the side of the rack and into the open, when you use a very loose grip on this shot.
My post asks ... while we know it's true .. how does the CB know it's true?
Why do you suppose that technique so effective?
I can only assume this lighter grip allows for a much more accurate hit on the CB. How else could the grip tightness variation impact this particular shot so much?
