first of all, I just want to thank this board for the advice given when I first started shooting after a 15 year hiatus. Straight pool basically has made me into a better player and even though I am still at a very low level in the league I play in, I'm one of the low ranked players that the higher ranks do not wish to play.
Anyways, I was wondering from your guys' experience, do you change your stroke based on the game being played? Or is your stroke consistent in all games? My curiosity is due to seeing players from yesteryear vs players from this era. And I'm mainly talking about those high run videos upload from the DCC where some break shots are hit so hard sometimes whereas a video I saw of Irvin Crane he broke the balls soft, even on shots that looked like he had to put some oomph into his stroke.
Or are my eyes just deceiving me?
