I would appreciate any comments, tips, or advice in shooting from the rail and also shots where you have to jack up. I know when you jack up you have to hit dead center so as not to spin the ball. I seem to have a problem either finding the center or hitting accurately because most of the time my shot is way off. On this type of shot (jacked up) do you position yourself differently then on a normal shot or grip the cue differently. Or is it simply lining up and striking the CB dead center.
When shooting from the rail with your cue fairly level, the only tip that I have ever seen is from Jimmy Reid. He advocates stroking and not stopping prior to hitting the CB. I have had some success with this but I see people execute this shot as they would any other shot.
Just curious as to how when people started out and had problems with these types of shots what they may have done on how they practiced to improve upon.
Thanks
