One-handed practice routine.

[screwball]

Is practising one-handed (ie, using a rail as the bridge rather than your hand) useful or possibly counter-productive?

[jrc750]

How can that possibly even work ????

[tedisbill]

Very useful I'd say. I see the pros playing that type of shot all the time.

watching someone on you tube make a century break on a line up using one hand, made me think that the game is a
lot easier than i thought.

i think it shows that a good follow through is a must.

Although 9 ball pockets are a bit more generous, playing one handed, without using the cushion, must be quite difficult

Then again, not as difficult as one handed , cuing behind your back

but some of these are just ridiculous ( surely not all done in 1st attempts )

You can crash with your motor bike and smash your arm but it doesn't matter. There is still a way to play snooker!
Great isn't it?

the one handed line up is very impressive ( not sure what number try that was though!!) but apart from for a little showing off its prity usless and practising like that would be a total waste of time imo.

I have played one handed shot once in a 9ball pool tournament a few years ago. The balls were lying awkward, CB and OB were very close. Couldn't place the rest normally, interfering balls...etc...had to get the cue out of the way quickly to avoid a foul. So I decided to try using just one hand...I held the cue as if I was using the rest. Managed to pull it off, with good position. My opponent could not believe it and neither could I...
And no, I would never spend one minute practicing one handed shots...
