Alignment of right foot for a right handed player

[mchpddl1]

Hi,

Can anyone shares on the right foot should be aligned for a right handed player? Should the toe be aligned with the cue, or a bit more to left of cue, or right?

Thanks

the general afvice is your right leg should be straight ... and your right foot, your right wrist, right elbow, right shoulder should all be vertical ... oh ... and all those plus the cue and your bridge hand should be horizontal too ...

sound impossible to you? well not really, the good news is you can pit your left leg wherever you want

more seriously, the advice above is true ... if yoiur right foot is vertical to the line of aim (this means your right leg is at an angle cos otherwise your cue would hit your hips) ... so your right leg is straight but at an angle from the vertical ... you're probably more comfortable if your right foot is say 30 degrees right of the line of aim ...

your left foot will find somewhere it is comfortanle ... except try not to put it in the same line ... your right foot, left hand (ie bridge) and left foot are a tripod ...

ok? have you got it? well now completely forget about that and just hit the f**cker in the hole ...

snooker is a terribly difficult game ... only two things help ... (1) having a good cueing action and by that I mean what we are discussing, ie being able to propel the cue in a very, very, very straight line ... and (2) concentrating on the pot ...

bit drunk really but I hope this helps

right foot should be in a direct line between the cue ball and the object ball.

I'll 2nd that advice Andrew.

so your toes of your right foot should point the way your cue is facing?

Andrew... wouldn't that be considered a snooker?

its not that important - you need a stable platform.

Depends if your legs are straight, and no, I'm not being funny. Not everyone has straight legs, some people "toe out" when they walk, some people "toe in" when they walk and all this has an effect on your stance. Someone said "a stable platform", don't pay attention to anything else.
