''Kicking Out''.... Your Forward Foot

[straightline]

Foul. Ball in hand.

Don't forget to practice with the other side too. It'll be of great benefit in the long rn.

I'm somewhat confused.

If you are a RH player as you step into the shot shouldn't you plant your back foot - your right foot - first? And then move your left foot into position?

This attached video shows allot of good camera shots of great footwork.

Finding a good stance has been by far the most difficult thing in my pool journey.

For a while, I was just approaching the table in a way that just felt most natural, but unfortunately this seems to lead to crowding + flared out elbow.

I was taught by a pretty good instructor to line the shot up visually and then step slightly out with my front foot as I drop down into my stance. Then bring your bridge down right on the shot line and this will position you so your swing is not inhibited. Pretty much what the OP is describing. The reason however was my fat belly. I still had a thin man stance from when I was a kid and it wasn't allowing for a straight stroke. This made an immediate and permanent positive result.

works for him i guess but i would go crazy trying to watch him for a time.

if everyone played like him the stands would be empty. and so would the purse prizes.

How refreshing, an Asian match on a pool table instead of a Chinese 8 ball table.

The world loves a man in tights, don't try to convince it otherwise.
