i think he struggles to actually find the potting angle when going down to the shot and rocks until he finds the right angle i believe he's still on the backswing and follow through

I doubt that very much... lol...

I would love to implement some of his tactics in competition, but what worries me is that after half an hour of "negative" safety play, it will be very hard to pot a ball over a pocket,.

What would worry me is my opponent cracking his cue over my skull if i played like that

[frazz]

tell me another reason then seen as mine is so ludicrous

[cally]

It's a nerve thing if anything IMO..

Would be interesting to see if he did it in practice...

[frazz]

the shaking he does is a nerve thing, i dont know about the swaying, if he didnt do it in practise he'd never pot a ball in tourneys

[cally]

Hmmm, ok who knows, he don't even know. But it int too find the middle of the white or potting angle i'm pretty sure..

If you notice it is sometimes worse than other times, this leads me to believe it's a nerve thang..

[narl]

Wonder if his height has anything to do with it, he appears to be angled sloped down at the table when playing shots, could be its putting pressure on his back and that causes it?

[cally]

And too add to my last post...

I also believe the reason he keeps still on the final backswing is >> It's the final very slow and controlled long pullback that gives him the sudden steadiness, where the most concentration of the shot routine would be, and he relaxes that little more ready for the final part of the shot.

That's my thoughts on it, sounds good to me anyway...

Poor balance???
