Playing off the cushion

[inevermissblue]

Here's what I do on those pesky cushion shots...after the backswing, tilt you grip hand downwards. What this does is give a more stable platform from which to deliver the cue. Allows you to maintain accuracy. Remember to keep a good cue groove to compensate for the added pressure imparted to the cue.

Could you explain what you mean by 'tilt your grip hand down' please? and also what 'cue groove' is. Thanks
