Good morning. I'm new to the site and wanted to know the most appropriate area to post questions about technique - particularly for novices. :confused:

I been shooting a little pool for many years but am not very good. I wanted to teach my 10 year old daughter to play and would love advice we could both use. For example, I'm having trouble helping her bridge the cue with her front hand properly.

Thank you.
;)
 
goodmorning. let me say if your in the nyc area, i give lessons that, people have told me to my face, have improved their game 70%!. now then, as far as a bridge is concerned. place your bridge hand flat on the table. your brisdge hand is opposite of what you are. example, rightys it's your left bridge hand. once hand is flat on the cloth, bring thumb over. now lift thumb up. keep all other fingers down on the bed (cloth). rest you cue into the groove formed by the raised thumb and the index finger. you now have an open bridge. for more info, buy the world's greatest pool book called play your best pool. you could find it at billiardspress.com, you could also e-mail me at goldfish2002@msn.com

I'm sure that people will answer any questions you have right here. The other person who responded was right that a good lesson woul probably benefit you and your daughter, who is just starting out, so that she would not develop bad habits.

There are some sites that show pictures of proper technique: http://www.freepoollessons.com/index.html, http://www.easypooltutor.com/forum1.html

There are a lot of good beginner books out: The idiots guide to pool and billiards, some of the Robert Byrne Books .
Good Luck. Dennis
