Straight stroke




I watch a lot players play pool and I can always tell if someone plays a lot of pool just by the way they hold their cue. Their stance is off balance and they seem to miss the shot. when people ask me why I keep missing those shots. I alway tell them that you have to stick with the fundamentals first. Good bridge, stance, balance ect. Then comes pocketing ability. I believe that you have to have a solid bridge. Open faced or closed bridge. There are different stances but mine is hips pretty square to the table and my right foot forward because I'm left handed. So right handers left foot forward. I like to slightly bend my knees and get comfortable. I like to line my dominate eye over the cue shaft. So my eye lines up with the shot. Some people stand to high over he cue when shooting. I like to get lower on the shot so I can see where I'm shooting. I think if you really evaluate your fundamentals. You can really improve your shot making abilities. I really like helping people with pool because I look at it like I'm helping billiards grow. Please don't hesitate to ask here's my email address. Johnfergy106@yahoo.com
