I've beeen workin on my stroke for a while now and I feel comfortable with it so the next thing is ball speed . Everything is good except for my 1 and 2 speed . I have a 7 inch finish stroke and it seems like I push the ball trying to hit at that speed when trying to complete my stroke. I tried to shorten up my bridge length and it seems to help . Any suggestions ?
Speed

inconsistent acceleration, even at the slowest of shots...........this is why your pushing.
the acceleration of the forward delivery starts at 0 and builds up in consistent fashion to your chosen speed at the moment of impact of the tip to the CB.
one of the best ways to get a smooth stroke is to practice those 1 & 2 speed shots often, if you can accelerate properly and stay straight on course on those type shots then the harder/faster ones are even easier.

Steve...Even if Roger shortens his bridge, he will also adjust his grip, and still have a 7" finish. That's just the way his body works. My finish is 6 1/2", on any SOP shot. I think he might be confusing SOP speed with XOP speed (finesse stroke, which is less than a one speed).
Keebie...Great answer!
Roger...Make sure you hit your finish position...even when you shoot softly! If you backswing the same, your cue does the work...even on soft shots.
