Is it a new account for aoyster? Or just a partner...
Well anyway they were decent enough not to take credit for allison's awesome shooting or to photoshop their logo on her blouse lol.

The music made me feel relaxed yet intelligent and inspired, like einstein at high tea.
 
is it really important in pool to have Chin on cue? the odd thing I see most of the pro pool players who have the cue slightly to the right & not underneath their chin. and on the other side I know it's one of the most important thing on snooker to have chin on cue, but how about pool?

I'm thinking it depends on the individual's eyesight. Which eye is dominant, how their personal vision judges distance & lines, etc.

so why did the guy in the video have put a rule. that it should be chin on cue?

I haven't a clue...but watch ALL the pros, not just Allison. Some have chin over the cue, some have the dominant eye over the cue. Not trying to slam Allison's excellent form here...if your eyes are equal in dominance, chin over the cue could be the way to go...(edit) I'm not sure the video had "rules"...it was simply analyzing the way one of the world's top players does it...

touching your chin to the cue isn't as critical as positioning your head so that what you see when sighting down the cue is accurate. For Allison, this is her optimal shooting position. If I tried to touch my chin to the cue, I wouldn't be able to stand up for a week!!! :eek:

I noticed at 0:54 she has a wrist twist turning the cue during the final stroke that twist creeps into my games sometimes always with terrible results for me. when my game goes off during a match its the first thing I look for... my #1 bad habit twisting the cue... I am obviously not as good as she is but at least I know I have the same bad habit as a top player LOL

I think that is a very common mistake among amateur players... I know that I occasionally do it and have noticed many other players that do it as well...
 
If I bent over like she does it would be my gut on the cue... not my chin.

I think it's the indian and not the arrow. I couldn't beat her Cuetec with any high priced custom cue.
