Hey Gatz, nice shooting and a great clear video. Aside from what others have said, I noticed that your intentional pause, seems to make your significant elbow drop, began a little sooner. Just a hair, but it seems clear to me and I think thats why others note your regular stroke is smoother. That may be why your not feeling it, like usual. The timing of the impact on the cue ball changes a little and feels odd, until you get used to it. Again, nice shooting and video.
Paus at back stroke (VIDEO)

You mean "Too many grammar Nazis here with too much time on their hands" right??
I don't think people who correct other people are the problem. I think full-grown adults who don't care about knowing how to spell simple words like "too" and "their" are the ones holding the problem. You call people Nazis for correcting your spelling and grammar, when you should be thanking them.
Edit: Gatz, I find it funny that you red-repped me for my first comment. Looks like someone is embarrassed/ashamed that he can't spell words we learned in first grade.

Never mind Mike. The OP appears to be one of those who think that just because they don't "pause" very long, that they don't stop their cue on their backswing (which of course is impossible). You have to stop your cue to change direction...period. It's how the transition is made...it can be too slow, or too fast. Smooth is the key.

Ken...You better tell Buddy Hall! His pause at the end of the backswing is longer than anybody's (about 3-4 seconds). Seems to work well for him, and his delivery is as, or more, accurate than almost anyone out there.

I guess that 3-4 seconds is not too long for him....for others it may be...That is why I inserted the operative word...."can"
I believe Buddy also drops his elbow.....:wink:
I already know that there is a PAUSE in every stroke there is. But my normal stroke feels like no PAUSE compared to what I'm doing now. This is why I call it a PAUSE, because it actually feels like one compared to my normal back and forth stroke.
This is untrue. Some strokes have a backstroke pause; Others don't.
The fact the velocity of the stick need to go through zero for the stick to turn around is a red herring. A pause requires a force that holds the stick in place.
