Yeah my friend keeps saying to me that I lift up the cue afterwards and I need to stop doing that. He's right and I still need to work on my technique. So thanks for this video
Hey mate.. Apologize for not knowing your name.. Im Lorry from Indonesia. Just encountered your videos and subs to your channel. Watched few of your other recent videos, those are all great quality content. Keep it up. You should be having hundreds of thousands subs at least. Looking forward to the growth of your channel. I found this video just about the time i want to switch my regular jump technique with sidearm. i would like to have an assist from you regarding this sidearm jump technique. Read another comments in this video regarding the stroke, had me wonder as well how do i straightened the stroke with side arm. So the key is keep repeating it till the mechanic kicks in? How do you aim with sidearm? Do you use firm grip or loose grip? And, Last question, what jump cue are you using, and what cue tip on it? Sorry for asking too much.. 😅 Thank you in advance.. 🙏
Hey, bro! Thanks for the comment. Glad you're liking my content. Yes, for straightening you're stroke, just practice. Try some different placements close to the chin and find something that feels natural. For me the contact with the chin helps me stroke straighter. I aim by doing some short practice strokes with the cue low, then elevating while looking at the object ball. I use a pretty loose grip, but I don't flick it as many people recommend. I think it has to do with my jump cue being very easy to jump with - cuetec propel with taom 2.0 tip.
I'm not a fan of very actively trying to flick it. I see some instructor say you need to, but it's not something that has worked for me. It's less precise, maybe slightly old school, since jump cues in the past were harder to jump with than modern cues. You get some wrist action by just keeping the grip loose, especially if you have a fast backstroke to get that stretch reflex. I wouldn't think any more about it.
For me, none. I usually step pretty far behind with my back foot. I can step into the shot and even go down as I normally do, with my back foot on the shotline, but when I rise up and twist my torso the backfoot usually go backwards. I haven't really thought about it that much. Let me check and update you about what's really going on.
Absolutely. That was an issue for me too. The cue curved. Just do long practice strokes concentrating on going straight and let the back arm do what's necessary to make the cue go straight. You need some piston motion with the shoulder/elbow to make that happen. If you only rely on a pendulum movement, you won't cue straight. But don't overthink it really - just concentrate on going straight and you're mechanics will adapt pretty quick when you get enough reps in. 5 minutes every time you practice for a month, and you should see pretty good results. Let me know how it works out. Good luck!
The step by step stance guide is great. I now can have consistent side arm stance that improves my jump a lot! Thanks for the tips😊
so good!
I think your site is one of the most useful page. Thank you from Japan.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Thank you for your lesson, friend!
Glad you liked it, buddy!
Good cadence in your video bro.

is it possible to jump using a normal cue? i dont own a break or jump cue
Great video. Are you using the JFlowers jump cue?
No, I haven't tried it yet! Is it good?

I practiced so much my elbow is sore. Like tennis elbow.
Same and I still practiced and played lol not a good idea 😂😅
Takk skal du ha! 😃
Bare hyggelig 😅
Can you also elaborate on the grip and should there be any wrist movement?
I'm not a fan of very actively trying to flick it. I see some instructor say you need to, but it's not something that has worked for me.

@@PoolProblems appreciate the explanation! enjoy your content a lot.
Update, did this impromptu change in a match and made 2 jumps that I'd never thought I was capable of
Imo intentional wrist action is unnecessary as long as you keep the grip loose.
I have a question about the alignment of this stance. Which foot, if any, is on the shot line?
For me, none. I usually step pretty far behind with my back foot. I can step into the shot and even go down as I normally do, with my back foot on the shotline, but when I rise up and twist my torso the backfoot usually go backwards. I haven't really thought about it that much. Let me check and update you about what's really going on.
I find it hard to move the cue in a straight line with the arm sideway, any tips? Thank you!
