I feel the grip is one of the most underrated aspects to how well a person can play. It can make all the difference in how good you hit the ball. A minor undetected change in your grip can cause you to play bad, and can contribute to someone being completly out of stroke.
What type of grip do you all play with? I grip the cue with the thumb and 3 fingers, and relax the last 2 fingers on the backstroke, holding the cue with only the thumb and first finger. This allows me to keep the cue level. The cue stays connected to the "V" which is the skin between the thumb and first finger. I notice some players hold the cue not connected to the "V" and they seem to struggle whenever they have to use a little more than normal force on the CB. I am interested in all the different types of grips players use, and how well they can serve someone who masters it. If you don't mind, please describe your grip. Thanks
