Reconfiguring Your Game…Game Goes Down The Toilet?

[George the Greek]

i actually like george's approach of waking up the arm first.

ur right that stance is a vital fundamental and changes in stance cause changes everywhere else. however, stating with the stance limits the arm planesavailable to be used. by finding the arm plane and how the arm wants to work, foor position etc are set around that.

i'll use me as an example after a layoff. i hot bigger and the way my arm swung around my body changed. this affected arm angle relative to body for easy stroking. my foot position amd body angle had to be much different than before. stafting with stance would take me much longer to build up my stroke compared to starting with my arm and building a stance around it. sounds backwards bc we do the opposite at the table but srm first is a better approach imo.

I was in the poolroom one morning hitting balls and 3 business type guys walked in and talked to the owner and said their friend was there for lessons.The so-called resident pro wasn't there so he directed them to me. I'm thinking wtf the guys like 300lbs how was I going to help this guy. He said he had trouble shooting straight lol. We grabbed a table (6x12) and I put the CB on the brown spot and said try shooting up the spots. Yup the went left then right but not to the black spot. After repeated efforts I said ok try this as I put a quarter btwn the rail and brown spot and got him to hold the cue with the tip at the CB and the cue resting on the rail. I said the cue is pointing straight and try getting somewhat In a stance be comfortable. He did that, hit the cueball and just went by the black spot. After repeated attempts he was getting better and I said that's gonna help if you keep at it. He paid me for my time and went away happier.

A simple little thing to try is walk and just swing your arm from a straight down position and stop when it's up as far as it'll go without moving any part of the rest of the arm. Now walk up to a wall and stop in front of the wall where you think if you bend over you head will touch the wall. Bend over and put your head on the wall and if your head hurts get back up,move in an inch and try again. You want to be able to stand comfortably and get back up with ease. If you think you've got it walk back to the wall with your arm doing a cuing action and bend over. There's your cuing and somewhat stance.
