There are 3 jump stroke styles. Under hand, Dart, and Side arm.
Using only Under hand and dart you can cover pretty much all jump situations. In this case there is no need to ever use or learn Side arm jumps. However, you would need to stay in practice with 2 different styles of jump strokes.
Then there is side arm, which I have never really taken the time to learn because it is hard to pin point tip contact location on to the cueball. The stroke naturally makes horizontal movements of the cue tip. So the final contact on the cueball could be left or right of where you intended to hit. But recently I heard that you could replace both jump strokes with the side arm stroke. In this case you would only need to stay in practice with one jump stroke, and never have to use under hand and dart strokes. Is it true?
Any players that only use side arm jumps here?
