cueing

[lesedwards]

You have been listening to the wrong people far to long Les and you seem to hold these on a very high pedestal for some unknown reason. Without me getting another bashing from the heirachy I gave my advice Les and I'm well qualified to give this. That's enough form me.

Leo, I think you took me way to serious as I was just kidding around. I only wish I could cue as smooth and so straight as J6 does.

If I'm being a little critique I think he unnecessary go though the ball to much and easily lose simple position, I think the short game around the Reds might cause him problems, just my opinion so don't all jump on me like usual.

you might be on to something here though its not clear what you mean, any chance you puting a little vid up to make it clear what your on about?

id only like to know what it is your getting at leo cus this just might be something iv missed from my game.
so if you could explane in words or even better at the table in a video that would be good info for everyone looking in on the thread

All I was getting at was you seem to be using the same power every shot yet still going through the cue ball the same on every shot and not adjusting the amount you go through it, this was obvious on your line up where a red will always be on but in a game positioning would have to be more controlled.
I'm not having a go by the way

yeah im with you, i get it.. i can only say that would be more about pace through the white than distance, depending on the shot in hand. but iv lernt how to work the cue ball an feel its the most consistant way to get right on most shots.. but if i was out of position in those vids i will try better next time
iv not played for a few weeks cus of the neck but, i will do an edit of some well timed shots to illastrate my point a bit later

Exactly depending what shot in hand, I remember when I started I used to try the line up and give myself a 12 inch boundary and outside of that I'd start again, This is great for controlling the cue ball

No hadn't seen this one, you made the white more your own in this one and your timing was a lot better

objectivly i looked a bit steadier but the timing seamed worse, and i looked like i was clubbing the ball around half the time

I think we may be in different pages mate, clubbing the ball around as you say looked more natural then the other video

i think your right, an what your rightly seeing as natural is a player looking quite steady and confident after a few more hours at the table.
thanks for the input

Just thought I'd add a little video to this thread for anybody that is interested again. I made a 147 in the T exercise today. Take a look!

Ha! Cheers! I don't know how to play exhibition shots though

[markz]

Nice video again ted, can see all your practice is paying off. Looking confident on every shot, good technique so you can just concentrate on the balls and nothing else.

sure you got a few case ones.. like it though man an hope to see more of the same
dont know about you but i think it would be really good if some of the other prolific posters to put up some videos, if only to put a game next to their words
