Play Pool like the Pro's Play💪 Aiming/Cue Control - Start Balanced 💯 Stay Centered like SKY Woodward

The rule of thumb I've used to play my top level is Start Balanced and Stay Balanced - Start Centered and Stay Centered.
Of all the top players SKY Woodward does this extremely well. The Key is his footwork, he keeps his Left Foot Parallel to the Line and faces the ball naturally, like he was having a serious conversation with the Shot.
I ask him in Dallas how he learned to position his Left Foot Parallel and he said "someone told me it was better, I tried it, liked it, and kept doing it!"
It's not that easy for the rest of us, it took me 8-10 hours to make the adjustment when I changed my stance (after getting 4th in my first professional tournament in Toronto Canada).
In this video I show the secrets I've learned to accomplish the "Stay Centered and Balanced" which led me to more consistency and eventually to becoming ESPN World Open Champion and Professional Player of the Year.
Make it Yours!
The Game is the Teacher 💪

Hi CJ, I commented on another one of your videos this morning asking about Center-to-edge alignment. But what I’ve learned from these 4 videos is that I was indeed lining up off my right hip instead of from the center of my chest! It’s weird how when you come back to something after you’ve had some experience, then it just “clicks” and makes more sense. I love TOI but I always struggled a bit with consistency. Now I understand why!! My practice session this weekend will be nothing but engraining this into my head. Thank you!! I’m also subscribing to your website.

@cjwiley1541 7 месяцев назад

Yes if you're not centered then your perception isn't the same cutting to the left or cutting to the right - imagine shooting a pistol, basketball or throwing a dart off the right hip line instead of the Center......it will take you 2-3 weeks to make the transition but it will be worth it, your full potential will go up 20-50% as the game gets easier and easier

@ObsessedWithPool 8 месяцев назад

CJ thank you for this. Even though you are teaching this based on only your own vision center (just to the right of the bridge of your nose for a right eye dominant center), as right handed but super dominant left eye, i must do a sort of ballet move with my right foot to put my right toe just to the left of the shot line and 90° to the line, stepping out wide to the left with my left foot, keeping the foot parallel with the shot line. Then, when I push out my hips as you say, and turning my head 45° to the right to align up my left eye, I come down on the shot perfectly aligned with lots of clearance for my cue and right arm, making the shot. The real trick is finding the shot line in the first place while standing up, which i sm learning to do by trusting my brain to give me the right line.

@cjwiley1541 8 месяцев назад

You eyes just need to work together when aiming above the shot - put the butt of your cue in the center of your chest pointing out, level, from the cueball to the object ball......then you'll have a reference for your center.....center of your chest Is the center of your vision when your eyes work together.....when you get down on the shot you'll naturally position towards your "dominant" master eye.....find your center and center of balance, you'll be more consistent.

@ObsessedWithPool 8 месяцев назад

@@cjwiley1541 that's my problem.. my eyes do NOT work together.. I have amblyopia (lazy eye) and my right eye is neurologically shut off most of the time; I am effectively one-eyed. So my vision "center" is down my left side and I have to contort around the cue to get lined up straight

@ylee512 9 месяцев назад

love from China. love your accent as I lived in south of states for yrs. Quick question, have you ever experienced with pelvis pain or SI joint pain, especially from right hip/leg/low back? I now feel even worse when aiming lower and put left leg aside. I wonder if it's a common headache for pool players who plays 2-3hr a day.

@cjwiley1541 9 месяцев назад

The way I go down on the shot puts very little stress on my body, I can still easily play 8-10 straight hours - some of my students have neck and back issues and want to learn this technique to relieve the pain from playing several hours in leagues or tournaments - it's best to use your hips and let your head come down as a RESULT of your hips/butt pushing straight back.

Left foot on the shot line, right foot set back parallel shot line. When I miss it, it's not because I didn't know where to aim, the stroke went off. Mark Gregory?

@cjwiley1541 8 месяцев назад

The cueball is the primary target so make sure you're precise with your tip targeting - however, it's vitally important to watch the object ball hit the pocket so you complete the shot and know Exactly where it finished at the pocket target - then you can move your head, but try to see it to completion without jumping up or moving your head position.

@sdickinson5234 9 месяцев назад

Interesting. I like it. It seems many modern players like Fedor step forward into the stance like they teach for snooker. I learned in the 70's and everyone said to step back into the line so that's how I do it. I think Filipinos kind of do what you show here. I just looked at Alex and that's how he does it. Efren is similar but after his foot goes to the left he does another little shuffle where he moves his right foot slightly to the right.

@cjwiley1541 9 месяцев назад

That's smart! Another thing is to stand as much as possible with your left foot 3-5 inches in FRONT of your right toe while you're centering - even exaggerate it and practice stepping Behind your left foot with your right so you can keep the left foot in Front.....I am in this position the entire time I play pool, so is a lot of other champion players.....it makes the game much easier and your consistency will rise so your entire game benefits.

Sometimes you'll have to spin the cueball to change the angle off a rail, or for swerving the ball at times....I play my best when I make myself cue everything a Hair to the inside, especially on long shots it's just a Touch/Hair of inside or you'll overcut the shot usually.

I would love to see a video of you discussing your right foot placement vs the placement Mark Wilson teaches in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ik_m4OYKfo8.htmlm37s He's got his right foot perpendicular to the shot line without crossing over it. I'm not sure if the rest of your alignment is the same, but I'm new to all this and trying to determine which to go with.

What I'm showing is totally different, less moving parts especially with the head - it's easier to learn but to have less moving parts requires a dedicated effort for 8-10 hours until it feels natural to Always have your left foot In Front of the right foot toes/front - the game will get approximately 30% easier within 2-3 weeks from my experience.
