Dr. Dave discusses, demonstrates, and analyzes various jump shot stance and stroke technique alternatives including the normal under-hand stroke, the over-hand dart stroke, and the sidearm stroke, which is commonly used among pro players. He also looks at useful stance and bridge variations for jump shots that are difficult to reach.

Once more Dr Dave takes it out of the ball park. Thank you Doctor!

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Thank you, and you're welcome. I aim to swerve (except with jump shots, where I avoid swerve like the plague). :)

@MikeyD22 Год назад

@mahmadoable Год назад

I do the Dart stroke since i have Mezz short jump cue. I will try the Sidearm stroke with my Break cue. Thank you, Cheers from KSA😊.

@Krushard Год назад

Thank you, that matches my empirical experience, side arm is the way to go in terms of broad range of available shots but requires some re-learning in aiming. You've covered elbow position in the side arm stroke but I'm still not settled on the wrist grip. I'm torn between having wrist in line with the forearm or having it twisted upwards. Hope you can picture what I'm talking about :).

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

I think a straight wrist is the best approach for most people. But you always need to go with what works best for you as an individual.

@BrianEHoover Год назад

Great video, I've been experimenting the sidearm stroke lately even though I'm 6'2", I'd noticed the ratio of 'Pros' who use it versus the underhand. I need to spend much more time with it to feel comfortable. I do wonder if you wouldn't mind breaking down the reasons for removing the 'butt' of a 3 piece jump stick and when to do so versus not.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Thanks. The 3rd piece should be removed whenever it can be since it is easier to jump with a shorter and lighter cue. Because I am tall, I can remove it only for the dart stroke, where my grip is low on the cue. Some people can remove it for the sidearm stroke, but I need the extra length due to my height.

@KTHKUHNKK Год назад

Awesome I never reached that level to do a jump shot. I was playing a guy one time I didn't know very well we were at his house. He was snooker behind the ball he jumped over it and drew the cue ball back and I knew right then and there He's out of my league.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Like anything, it just takes practice ... and proper technique, as covered in my earlier video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NFd9tUgFbFE.html

@vincevita6872 7 месяцев назад

Dr Dave, Your profile showing the shots illustrates you typically hit below the center core.... I have not been able to do that... I seem to have to hit to the center of the ball to get consistent jump. You also seem to be able to jump using a lower angle, i seem to be well above 45 closer to55, 60.... Looks like i need more practice. I will attempt the side arm approach ... Thanks again for showing shots from all angles... Vince

@DrDaveBilliards 7 месяцев назад

Hitting slightly below center is better than hitting slight above center, especially at higher cue elevations. See the illustration at the top of the 2nd page here: billiards.colostate.edu/resource_files/jump_shot.pdf The cue and tip can make a big difference, along with the cloth. See: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/jump/ Technique is also critically important. See the videos and info here: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/jump/technique/

@STRAIGHTUPSTEAM Год назад

Pro tip! Tell a billiards supply company you’re in the market for some table cloth and they will send you samples you can use to clean shafts or practice jumping without damaging your tables cloth!

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Great tip. I always cut squares from my old cloth when I get it changed. I had one taped down for all the shots in this video.

@denniswilliams1031 Год назад

Dr Dave, which one to you like best side arm or normal elbow up? Thank you Sir for another GREAT Video.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

I think if I practice more with the sidearm stroke, I will prefer it for medium cue elevation jumps. I sill prefer the dart stroke for highly elevated jumps. And I still prefer the normal elbow-up stroke for long, low elevation jumps.

@zanethind 3 месяца назад

My friend told me get an effective jump shot make sure you're comfortable with the stance and position your in. He told me this because he said when I go into a sidearm stroke and stance I look uncomfortable

@Gary31310 Год назад

Interesting watch as always Dr Dave. But could I ask you to clarify something about the jump bridge you use at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="400">6:40</a> in the video please?. I can kinda understand why that specific piece of equipment isn't allowed in tournament play due to the unique swivel design. but I wasn't aware that using an extra tall bridge was prohibited per say. Stacking two bridges to achieve extra elevation is perfectly legal (as you said yourself), and I can vaguely recall Nick van den Berg playing a fairly impressive mid table jump shot during the mosconi cup a few years ago with a non standard extra tall bridge head and the referee didn't seem to have a problem with it, so is there a maximum height restriction or something?. Also, how about the use of a snooker style spider or swan neck bridge. Would those be permitted under WPA rules?. Thanks.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Good point. I don't know of any specific height limit. As long as a bridge looks close enough to a traditional mechanical bridge, it should not be a problem. The main issues with the EasyJump is how it is held and supported, and the swivel pivot.

@joephillips9734 Год назад

@robertmeadows1657 Год назад

Have you ever tried the one-handed dart stroke? It’s surprisingly easy with a bit of practice. Great for those jumps that are tough to reach. If you’re unfamiliar with the technique, simply hold the stick at the balance point, reach out to the cueball with wrist cocked, steady yourself and snap your wrist when ready.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

Yes. I cover it in detail in my earlier jump technique video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NFd9tUgFbFE.html

@robertmeadows1657 Год назад

I think you misunderstood. I’m referring to a dart stroke performed without the assistance of the bridge hand.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

@@robertmeadows1657 Sorry about that. I have tried the “air” dart stroke. It is not as reliable for me, but it is fun to try.

@dangoldenberg704 3 месяца назад

I feel like what you use the words 'open' and 'close' the opposite of what I am use to. It might confuse some. I think of it like a baseball player. But in the end, same meaning.

@DrDaveBilliards 3 месяца назад

Just like in baseball or golf, opening the stance means turning to face the shot more.

@DrDaveBilliards 3 месяца назад

FYI, I just watched the video again and realized that you are correct. I said it wrong in the video. The sidearm stance is definitely more "closed." I just added a "CORRECTION" to the video description and pinned comment. Thank you for pointing out the error.

@alataza100 Год назад

Hi Dave. Itsn't the type of surface of the table a key factor for junping the cue ball? Im able to jump my cue ball on my 7 foot wooden table only if the cueball is close to the rails, but not if its place somewhere else (specially in the middle of the field). Good vídeo and thanks for answering

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

The surface is important. Jumps are easy on a thicker slate table with a thicker and slicker cloth. Jumping on wood is a lot tougher.

@andrewbrenneman9592 Год назад

I used to play APA league in my area. Such league was against jumps. Which is understandable due to it being an amateur pool league. I have used the air bridge with limited success. I don't try jump shots due to not being experienced enough.

DRDave - can you make a video on how to jump with a standard length cue?

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

I cover some examples in my earlier jump video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NFd9tUgFbFE.html The technique for full length is the same as with a jump cue. It helps a lot if the full-length cue is light and has a very hard tip.

Hey Dr.Dave, I noticed that you used master chalk for your AirRush, is it hard to chalk with the Taom?

Good observation. Master chalk sticks to phenolic and hybrid tips better than Taom.

Dear Dr. Dave, how would you describe the different "feel" of the stroke when jumping on Valley tables as opposed to the other, thicker-slate tables?

A quick question! Can one make a jump shot with 9mm cue tip? Or can it only be made with 13-14mm cues?!

... as long as the tip is very hard and the shaft isn't too whippy. For more info, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue/jump/

@InfiniteRBBeatz 11 месяцев назад

Thank you Dr.Dave. Just one question, is it necessary to get a 3 piece jump cue? Or 2 piece work just fine?

@DrDaveBilliards 11 месяцев назад

2 piece is fine unless you want to use the dart stroke.

@InfiniteRBBeatz 11 месяцев назад

@@DrDaveBilliards thank u for fast reply. Actually I can dart jump pretty good with my 2 piece zokue jump cue. Just not sure if a 3 piece will jump much further than a 2 piece

@DrDaveBilliards 11 месяцев назад

@@InfiniteRBBeatz It depends on the person and the cue. But if you jump fine with your cue, I see no reason to change.

@glowworm3345 8 месяцев назад

Why do most pros seem to use the sidearm stroke if the dart stroke is generally more comfortable? Is it a power thing?

@DrDaveBilliards 8 месяцев назад

The sidearm stroke is more versatile and allows a mostly normal stance and stroke. This who can do it well also have good accuracy and range of control.

@robertspadorcia8175 Год назад

Is a jump shot possible with a soft tip? APA says you can jump but you need to use your playing cue.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

It is much tougher to jump with a soft tip. That's yet another reason to use a hard tip on your playing cue. For more reasons, see: billiards.colostate.edu/faq/cue-tip/hardness/

@DrDaveBilliards 11 месяцев назад

I'm 6'3". Each person can try each of the methods to see what can be reached. It is tough for me to reach with the standard underhand stroke, but it is easier with the sidearm stroke, and even easier with the dart stroke. Try them to see what works for you at different reaches.

@newsnebraska2392 Год назад

Most of your jump shots look like you hit with tip then throw the ball forward with the shaft. I don’t have slow motion to actually see it

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

That can happen with a below-center hit; but the hits in this video are all good.

@DrDaveBilliards Год назад

If you play the side view shots back frame by frame, you can see (even without slow motion) that the CB goes forward well before the tip does (after the hit).
