Good info! Keep videos coming
I'm left eye dominant , how should my eyes line up with the stick , I've been shooting for a good while now but for some reason I keep hitting just a little right of center on the q ball . thank you for being what I consider the best pool stick in the world !
S L O W back and a REAR PAUSE is essential
That's the one thing I've always struggled with which was the chicken wing elbow
That's where I'm having problems gripping the cue to hard
Instead of going right into pocketing balls, work on a simple stroke exercise. Place the cue ball on the head string one diamond out from the long rail. Shoot it into the far corner pocket while focusing on nothing but your fundamentals. Rinse and repeat. After several hundred repetitions it will become like second nature.
I literally let the cue rest on two fingers and make sure my forearm is pointed straight down and relaxed when I'm lining up my shot.
Most of the time you literally just have to get your aim right and the ball will go in without any difficulty.
imagine you're pushing your cue through the barrel of a rifle (long and straight)
So I take it you don't use pros Keith McCready or Alan Hopkins as pros to emulate their strokes?
Hello
Please, new pool players, do not use this man as an example. His specialty is trick shots which is fine but his form is not proper for good play. And if you watch the last video this channel produced, it’s very clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about (explained tangent lines wrong somehow).
Great player doesn't always equal great teacher. There are many better instructors on youtube.
Completely drops elbow and stands up rather quickly, standing pretty high on the shot and the bridge hand is not making great contact with the table.
Hmmm. Stands up after the ball travels down the table and back to him. That’s not quickly. His bridge hand has solid contact with the table. Staying high on the shot is not a bad thing. It’s a common misconception that the chin has to be rubbing the cue. Staying that low can actually be a detriment by reducing your view of the shot and table. Everybody’s elbow drops to some degree on the follow through. If it doesn’t you’re stroke isn’t nearly as good as it could be. Just make sure that it doesn’t drop before contact with the cue ball. His did not.
@@gsnicholas8522 You can frame by frame it if you want but in a video dedicated to showing beginners how to shoot, an emphasis should be placed on keeping most of the body still during the stroke and the follow through.
There is clearly a large gap under the right side of his hand. Strong contact means both sides of your hand are making contact with the felt.
The elbow drops almost simultaneously with the beginning of the final stroke. Again, anyone watching this can immediately refute your claim just by slowing it down. It is true minor elbow drops are not extremely detrimental but I point it out because Florian puts emphasis on this being somewhat important and immediately contradicts himself
Being low on the shot is not detrimental to your stroke. You should sight your shot line during the pre shot routine and not trying to "see the shot" after you have already gotten down. Just watch the top players in the world right now. All of these players get down on the shot significantly more as it allow you to see the tip to cueball contact point more accurately.
It looks like you went to a lot of work to try and discount what I've stated. My comment was even hidden until this reply was posted. Rather fishy if you ask me, when I was literally the second comment posted on the video. Go ahead and hide this one as well.
