First, a little about me.
So, I'm not a complete slouch on the table. I bounce between an 8 & 7 APA 9ball, and I'm a 7 APA 8ball. I'd say a C+ player; I'm a threat to run out, have had several in-match.
Now to my question: how does one develop the type of stroke wherein it never appears as though one is forcing the cue ball?
There are several good players in my area, and up to Fredrick MD, who appear to never strike the cue ball "hard". The cue ball just, kinda, floats to where they intended no matter the amount of follow/draw and/or side english applied. When I need some stroke on my cue ball, you can hear that I really strike the ball. It's evident. Now, that typed, there are some good players (even levels above me) in my area that strike the cue ball as I do, and it's evident.
The former type of stroke mentioned is just, for lack of better word, sexy to me. So, how does one develop/evolve into that; or, is it not possible?
How's your stroke?
