Has anyone tried this to fix their stroke?

[Cuebuddy]

I have practiced this drill for years....although it has helped my stroke I find the cans damage my shaft on my "OFF DAYS"

going on a cruise in a couple days, think i"ll "practice" one bottle at a time, LOL...if yoyu hit the side, does that mean that it was a bad batch of bottles that have crooked necks?

I assume they make the bottles in 12 pack bundles, so if I knick the side, i think I'll drink the remaining balance of the 12 pack so I can get down to REAL practice again!!!

for your stroke? i actually started from scratch with my stroke a couple weeks ago and did an overhaul on it.

I don't understand the benefits, and having read this thread so far, I still don't understand the benefits. Can someone please explain? Specifically, what does stroking through a bottle do for you?

OK Thanks. So where would you put the bottle, say, compared to where the cue ball would sit? At the point of impact, or in the follow through position? Before impact?

The way I was shown, is the opening in the bottle goes where the cue ball would be and you follow thru into the bottle without touching the glass

So, you have to have a piston stroke ?
A pendulum stroke would make the tip dip.

Exactly. With a piston or "J" stroke, this drill should work, but with a pendulum stroke the tip will dip and hit the bottle.
