How Do You Grip The Cue?

throwing motion-

I go to the billiards Encyclopedia and 1994 billiards digest. I hold as light as possible with plenty of space. I trust willie hoppe's adviseor Welker Cochran- even Mosconi t-cup throw it catch it with 2 fingers. in 1994 Efren was furious that billiards digest ran a repeat artice on how he holds cue along with other top players. Without his permission. The fillipino's also have a differn't stroke. A Circle motion. What good is the grip if you don't know where to hold the cue too, and which length bridge too use. Watch some utube video's of hoppe and Cochran, and a utube video of gus Szamboti and listen to the correct pronuncation of Szamboti. If it worked for these guys Mosconi included Thats All I Need to See. Thats what I see
 
I agree with Randyg

Whatever your grip pressure is at address (lighter is better) keep it the same through the cue ball. Its a very common fault.
Tighten up and your steering the cue rather than letting it go straight through.

This is a good topic.. I still haven't decided on which grip to use. I started off with the fist grip like Alex Pagulayan, changed that to the 3 finger grip like Ronnie Alcano, and now i'm using only 2 fingers to grip the cue like Francisco Bustamante. I still haven't decided on which grip i should use yet. :confused:
