Level Your Cue | Train With Me 

Honestly, I think the table conditions change my technique more than the shot itself sometimes, ESPECIALLY when drawing the ball. On new/clean/slick conditions, a level cue works just as well as an elevated cue because there’s so little friction, it doesn’t require a more powerful stroke, and the ball just slides on the cloth easily. However, on old/dirty/grippy conditions, an elevated cue might be necessary, not just for power, but because you’re going to cause the cueball to jump off the table a little, then skip along the cloth towards its target. This means there’s less time that the cueball is in contact with the cloth, so the friction between the ball and the cloth doesn’t impact the amount of rotations the cueball is getting as much as with cleaner conditions.

Josh I think you have the best training videos on YT. Truely, thank you for all the help.

This is such an interestimg way of teaching pool! Wow impressive

Never knew about this, thanks !

finally a great video on this topic!

Gravity , if the cue fall down you might be have a bit of speed more for the gravity help....of corse a minimal angle 😉

Years ago I went with a straight back leg on my stance and result caused me to not be level when shooting and took years before i figured out why I couldn’t make a shot 😅

I have issues with too much elevation on draw shots too. It's a bad habit I got into, I had issues with over draw and began elevating to reduce the draw. To the point where if I needed/wanted 2 or three inches of draw on a reasonably short shot, I'm striking from 45 degrees. Another player called me out on it last night after I left myself on a rail with a completely failed draw due to over elevation and lack of follow through.

🙋‍♂ often too level on draw shots, yup.

There one thing that needs to keep in mind is Most taller people will stand up a little higher. Shorter people will be more leveled. But some shorter people tell me I don't want to hit that table on the follow thru. So they tend to jack up .. There was a old friend that told to learn how to level out your cue , is to place down on the rail first and lean in towards the shot .. this will help ..

I've found that most people say they wish they could do this or that but won't put in the practice to learn it.. The people that really want to learn will...

I'm waiting for Brian to throw a chair at the drummer!

I friend told me about the helping lines and natural cue ball paths with stop and follow shots could you maybe do a video about it?

I always tell people you want to go out of thw cueball thw same way you went into it . But I do have a question, if a person has a high elbow which I am envious of , isn't that gonna create mire downward striking and unlevness

Not levelling your cue also makes you not hit draw but makes you scoop the ball

I would like to see the height of butt with a tape measure so you have a better way to see if your cue is in the right angle for different shots.

Get a clue Level your Cue and Pot the Shot !!!!🇨🇦😂

How can I reach you Sir ! And probably come train over there??? Am in Africa (southern Africa Botswana 🇧🇼)

I had a stroke and I can't use one arm. I use tools to help me And sometimes it's hard for me. Any suggestions?
