Since the butt’s almost always over a rail, everybody shoots down on just about every shot.

At one point Rodney gives the HOT TIP that you can get more follow with an open bridge than with a closed bridge because with an open bridge the cue deflects upwards out of your bridge hand, while with a close bridge the cue can't deflect upwards AFTER hitting the cue ball. Rodney is under the impression that the cue ball knows what the cue stick is doing after the cue ball has been struck, e.g. the cue ball watches the cue stick in its rearview mirror to decide how much to spin.

Mostly psychosomatic but an important counter if it bothers you. When you can and might breeze through racks by the dozen, every bit you can habitualize counts.At one point Rodney gives the HOT TIP that you can get more follow with an open bridge than with a closed bridge because with an open bridge the cue deflects upwards out of your bridge hand, while with a close bridge the cue can't deflect upwards AFTER hitting the cue ball.

True except for half table games. Many shots the long way allow the full cue on the table. Also if you need to follow a ball that's only a few inches away, 45, 50 + degree incline can get the ball rolling without a foul.
