A few weeks ago I posted a thread looking for advice on the problem I’m having with shooting a cue ball that is frozen or nearly frozen on the cushion.
What seems to be providing me with some encouraging results that was recommended on here as well as by a very good player / friend is looking at the cue ball last when stroking the cue ball off the cushion.
At first I found it hard to trust that my body and cue alignment was accurate enough to actually feel comfortable taking my eyes off the target – the portion of the object ball I need to contact on the final stroke, and instead just concentrate on the cue ball and delivering the shaft/tip straight back and straight through the high center of the cue ball.
Just curious how others here have managed to approach this very difficult shot – looking at the object ball last or the cue ball last?
