Hi!
Recently I was downloading some short pool clips from the net. On one it was Mr. Strickland performing a short jumpshot. He even managed to get a good draw to get position onto the next ball (would be better if one ball (5) was not in the way).
But remember, he did it with his regular playing cue, not some funny looking jumpcue!!! How does he do it with such fine control?
Or was it his break cue?...I'm not very good when it comes to cue recognition...
And no, he did not use finger extensions of any kind and his bridge hand was not on the rail which makes things even more difficult!

It's under Pool, Mosconi Cup 2000, Clip 3 (earl making several pots)...just 1.6 meg, worth the download time if you want to see proper jump shot!
p.s.
I could not perform this shot without the short jumpcue even if someone gave me 100 attempts. Could you?
