Long Bridges cause more instability in terms of accuracy. Use with caution and remember to keep your stroking arm as still and straight as possible when playing any shot. Only play safety rail shots if you're truly unsure of whether you can make the shot, and don't overrun the cueball. You will always miss the shots you don't try to take, so if it's a high stakes situation and you think you have a chance of making the shot, go for it, but play the cueball long if you miss, at least make it difficult for the opponent to sink their next ball, whether another contact ball or the 8. In terms of bridge length you should always check your line of aim and not only rely on the shot angle. Check angle from the contact ball to the pocket, the cue ball to the contact ball, and of course, from the cue tip to the cueball. Because there are a number of aiming systems available you should take bridge length compensation for field of vision with a pinch of salt. Position is critical when it comes to pool, you are able to play any spin on most shots theoretically by adjusting for throw, drag and swerve. Don't only rely on making the ball to continue moving forward, you must utilise spin to position for your next shot. With shots arching over a ball you want to also be sure to hit towards the center line of the cueball as much as possible. The cue is pointing into the bottom of the cue ball, which means any type of side spin will induce massé spin. As said, you must keep your stroking arm steady and your bridging hand as still as possible. Finally, when you are playing a draw from close, be careful not to elevate too much or you'll lose your draw, and not to strike too straight below center, as you might accidentally cause the cueball to jump. until next time.
Holly..... Once again you made something different! Sooo simple but sooo enjoyable :) You have very nice english pronunciation that I always wanted to have! I struggle with this all the time especially because I speak polish everyday :)
what you say is true especially the bridge... you need to have a longer bridge because the Q will help you aim better and make a better shot judgement BUT, everyone can look great on a table with pockets the size of buckets, everything goes in
@@PoolProblems im saying that the traditional pool club tables pockets are way too big, even the workd championship ones are super large, its not hard to look like a world champ in those
These are good, and your editing is getting really slick btw. I dog the long thin cut all the time, and my eyes want to undercut it every time, so there's no safe miss. If I aim to deliberately overcut, I just overcut. So I will try a longer bridge. PS: even though you're just doing it for the video and not in any serious way, and even though I did it a million times myself, you might want to resist tossing the cue onto the table. I used to think "well no possibility it hurts anything, not this very light toss from a very short distance"... but then one day the cue slid forward, hit the underside of the cushion, and that sent the tip downward and caused a small hole in the cloth. So I just don't do it anymore, as tempting as it is.
Thanks, buddy! Try aiming a tad lower on the cue ball also. I wanted to mention that in this video, but didn't fit the structure. I find that I get to lower my head even more, and that it helps the alignment. Plus, I'll strike more level, taking away the swerve. The cue tossing - noted. Haha! It was a moment of improv, and it definitely hurt my pool soul, but that's just the things you do for fame :P
