He also started a thread asking can you play 14.1 without the rack outline drawing on the tableThis guy is starting a thread for this ? Come on rookie.
That would come in handy at the strip club also.Autozone and Walmart sells microfiber towels for detailing cars. They are about the size of a washcloth. They work great and are reusable. They will also lift fingerprints and make the rails about as clean as you can get them without liquid. $8 for 6 towels. Also great at cleaning around the house, and cleaning cell phone screens or glass. You can wash them in your clothes machine.
In all seriousness, I keep one in my case in the case of something sticky getting on my shaft. Works great.
That's another thread you should start with a poll.so what color microfober cloth is best on green cloth.
Finally the right answer. I was waiting.Can be used with intention, setting a short or long bridge and feeling the stroke for the next shot, like a practice stroke in golf.
In the air, you can--not everyone does--preset your bridge length then bridge to the table accurately with a small tip gap.
Weaker players tend to address the ball with too long and bridge and then slide in with their stroke arm, setting the stroke arm at poor angles.
This, and I always thought it was a speed feel thing. Both good players do this and bad players (who try to copy good players)Finally the right answer. I was waiting.

I've seen some hilarious preshot routines. Exaggerated step-in, lifting and slapping the cloth with bridge hand right before shooting. 50 practice strokes, or none at all. I guess as long as you're consistent.... That's what counts.
Mine is simple; walk around figure out the shot, stand in the line, step in/get down, two strokes looking at CB, two while looking at OB, confirm aim and fire. I ain't got time for additional BS.

Yes, particularly in the cae of players that do this that can’t make more than 4-5 balls in a row.For a lot of other guys it has no purpose and they are just aping the pros they've seen do it.

Correct. The same reason a batter takes a few swings before the pitcher throws the ball, or a kicker takes a couple of practice kicks before a field goal attempt. It's part of the preparation for executing the shot properly.It’s to get the feel of the shot in your mind before getting down on the shot. I do it every shot too.
