That's when we need to stand up and re-address the shot...

Sounds easy doesn't it... But yet we all just miss that easy ball and then think... "I'm a lazy fat *****"

I've just spent all night doing that, turning the air blue calling myself a lazy ****!!!

Nice . i downloaded the app to try and sort my cuing issue of cuing across the ball . But instead I used it for the OB CB debate instead lol

Tbh I wasn't gonna bother posting on this topic with the results I saw on the app because I thought it would cause a storm in a teacup . But I'm super confident that JH is CB on almost every shot.

I must add this was recently I did this . Not JH from years ago .

Most players were indeed OB

You are right my friend .
I did watch sum of his recently matches ( frames ) slow motion , and he is looking at the CB on most of the shots .
It was hard for me to believe what I saw lol . His eyes is on the CB at the time of striking about 2/3 seconds after the OB is gone an then he's eyes folws OB.
Strange thing is , I also W atched sum of the matches from yrs ago ( like the one he played against Dennis T ) , and thr he is a OB player .
Could be he has changed his teqnick ?? Who knows !!
I've seen almost all of them ( pro players ) slowmotion and He is the first pro I've ever seen doing this ( realy strange lol ).
Anyway, I told you in my prvs post , I'm gonna chek this out and this was the result .
you were right .
Many thanks to bring this up . It was a intresting point .

Yeah it's quite obvious on the slow motion with him . He pulls the cue back to the bridge and gives the OB one last look and then flicks his eyes to CB to then start the strike

yes, that is right. another issue i don't want to look a knob, getting up and down slowing the play down , everyone looking on thing who the f*** does he think he is.

Lazy technique, I think that will be on my tomb stone lol. Sliding in from the side , flopping down not looking at the ob , not checking cues online, feathering on the way in, unbalanced stance, wondering what's for tea while trying to pot a ball,appart from that pretty good!

You'd look more of a knob missing an easy ball when you could fix it properly.

I started pointing my right foot outwards a while back (because I had a sore knee I think) now I can actually feel myself wobbling on the shot, and my knee still hurts. Sometimes I really hate snooker.

I said I would make this video for a member and since then, I have had 11 PM's to post/share it.

These are my thoughts:

Can't believe with the forum this slow that this hasn't had more comments. Everyone that struggles with basics should be watching this and thanking pottr. Says it how he sees it, backs it up with a video and talks plenty of sense. You are wasted on here mate. Pass on my best to Luke, top camera man and doing his new cue proud!

[itsnoteasy]

I can't even find that post Markz, it's a great video, and I am very grateful to Pottr for doing it for me and his follow up help on my cue action.
Sorry just found it , I have no idea how I missed it lol.
