I’ve been playing pool my whole life but after discovering you sharivari and Dr. Dave Ive been playin good pool for about 2 years, always learning. Thanks for the informational videos ❤
How come nobody ever talks about this? I’ve noticed it too and after trying it out it really does help. I think it helps to keep the cue more level and helps it go more straight in general.
Internet is amazing. Just yesterday I was practicing hard straight shots and found myself missing to the right about half the time. Grrr. My initial thought is that I'm slightly turning my cue as I'm bringing it towards my chest. Been playing for years and now I don't feel like I know how to hold my cue properly.
So, I played in a Jack n Jill tournament this past weekend, and used this trick DRAW WORKS NOW. I made this one shot and was so happy with the results.... I can't believe how much this tip helps with draw. THANK YOU
When my stroke is off, I make a concious effort to grip with my ring finger. I like to squeeze tightly while standing, helps me to not clench when following through. It's a huge help. Will give this a try but I thinks it's very similar
My wrist always had this bad bent and I developed a little sideway stroke due to not knowing how to stand correctly in the beginning and watching some good players with bad habits. I tried many different ways but could never fix my wrist and minor side stroke. I had held the cue with all 4 fingers, which I felt caused a lot of tension and it was too hard to just relax the wrist though I had a loose powerful stroke.Then I worked on my stance and coincidentally tried just gripping with mainly just the two middle fingers. I recorded myself and my wrist is a lot more straight naturally now losing that bent. Then I just saw your video on the same topic. Awesome tip, I will work on it more to get it completely straight. It was a bad habit for 25 years, but letting go of that first finger and pointing instead in just one day, it fixed about 80-90% of it immediately. I'm standing more square with proper footing, I feel a lot less tension, and my stroke seems looser with much less effort. Thanks for sharing.
Billy actually plays with his index finger off the cue. A lot of people think Ronnie does the same . But he actually has the tip of his index finger touching the cue like a trigger . I believe he shoots of his index finger
Giving what a try. Making the cue ball to react differently due to directing a finger on one's bridge hand? LOL. The CB knows nothing about anything south of 1/2 inch from the tip unless you're hanging the earth about there.
Many many thanks for your incredibly helpful tips! This is the hardest game I’ve ever played’ your content is such a valuable resource! You have convinced me to buy cuetec all the way! Love your channel , love your presentation ! Hope your health is improving! God bless! Kind regards Paul
Thanks for this info. This really made my stroke much straighter and I get the desired cue ball action/position effortlessly because it gave me more follow through. I qm really grateful for this coach! Thanks 👍🏾. From Nigeria.
going to try this. have recently developed a bad habit with popping up and jabbing at the cue. also, enjoy the concept of hold the pose for the photographer. more content ~ thirsty player
Thank you for this video. Yesterday I was comparing my wrist action with pros when I watch on TV. Exactly. What you have mentioned in the video, pros finishing up their wrist different mine. I think this was the missing link. To pointing a finger. I already feel that this tip will improve my stroke greatly. Thanks again
It’s sort of shocking how much this helps some people. I’ve always had a very ridged wrist and struggled with my follow through. This has helped me dramatically with pocketing and my cueball.
You explain things not only correct, but exponentially better than 99.95% of self anointed “look at me shoot” pool (air quotes) instructor. Had to write out air quotes cuz you already know. 😂 I take instruction very seriously & am told I’m the or one of the better & I usually get their potus vote if they actually take a lesson. Like you, I can exponentially improve anyone’s game, often including pros. Most average or above intelligent kids who’ve never played & can’t hold or deliver a cue are often beating before 120 minutes. I teach them the absolute forward stance given their dominant hand/eye, lock a rock solid bridge, teach them a linear pendulum from the beginning & add simple aiming methods. They immediately start potting balls at will. They often get arrogant & start speeding etc, but this game is a hack & if taught it from someone like you or myself from jump, creates someone with a massively unfair advantage. Every right answer from the last 200 years in an hour isn’t fair. lol I have my students watch you shaft Siming perspective from your head cam. It’s all about filling the symmetrical gaps with your cue & the 3 configurations I have them recognize symmetrically within the rectangle. If people aren’t playing a shockingly, simple, cookie cutter version of this game, they’re doing it wrong. Potting should be no “aiming”. or directional control with a stick. Pushing a cue in a linear method at the proper ball configuration or pocket & potting is a side affect of the correct process. The better I get, the easier the game is. I had to relearn after severe TBI in 2017/2018. Couldn’t run 3 balls & totally different mind/personality etc. I was shown stance, simple aiming methods & I couldn’t miss for 6 weeks. Got cocky & lost it. 😂 Point being: you’ve mastered your craft. Proudly west “Instructor” badge in this amazing pocket billiard game, cuz you do it better than many who claim it as vocation.
I tried this it's really hard for me to do because I have trained myself to play without my thumb on cue an now it just does that automatically it basically does the same thing but this does work well it took me around 3 hrs to start doing it the right way 😂
@@DrawShotTV yeah I call it turning the door or turning the throttle on a motorcycle you're less likely to do those things if you don't have your thumb on the cue but now my pointer finger starting to come off the cue is starting to feel natural I'm not doing it so much on a bar box though because it's too much horsepower 😂
Hi champ.. i hope you can read and reply quick for this answer.. which part of arms you use when back-swinging and forwarding the cue? Is it forearm or upperarm? Hope you read this🙏🏻
I been playing in the APA tournament for a little while I just hold the back of my pool stick to tight it's hard to me to break the habit of doing that
As an engineer, the word "decellerate" makes me cringe.😂 Great video. I'm trying to start using wrist action. I was wondering how better players are able to get so much more action with minimal effort. Wrist action is the answer.
It’s easier to say than “acceleration in the direction opposite to the direction of the velocity” or even “Negative acceleration”. What kind of engineer?
@@DrawShotTV agreed. 🤣 I don't blame you for saying it. Most pool players/instructors do. Most people don't know any better anyways. Mechanical engineer.

This tip is a little gem. Thanks a lot!
Tried this tonight and my follow through immediately felt smoother and straighter. Thanks for this!
with arm or wrist?
Totally agree, this helped my stroke a lot, like how in basketball they say :" Hand in the cookie jar". This is the same, tried and true!

Good tip sir
many useful tips with good graphics bro
Consider it done! I will now be giving the finger to my stroke as much as possible

Thanks as always!
Thanks - I will try this!
Great tips! My stroke has greatly improved….Thanks!
Just what i needed , thanks .
Just discovered your channel. This is gold right here.
Thank you for your tips. I also think cue action is critical and changes your shot drastically.
Im having problems with my stroke, going to try that. Many thanks and keep up the good work.
I have seen Billy Thorpe to that as well.
Yep! He throws the cue a lot and sometimes points his index finger!
Billy actually plays with his index finger off the cue. A lot of people think Ronnie does the same . But he actually has the tip of his index finger touching the cue like a trigger . I believe he shoots of his index finger
Great Tip Andrew 👍👍👍 Thank You
Fantastic tip! I'm giving it a try right now

This is the way
I tried this it's really hard for me to do because I have trained myself to play without my thumb on cue an now it just does that automatically it basically does the same thing but this does work well it took me around 3 hrs to start doing it the right way 😂
I actually don’t use my thumb either.
@@DrawShotTV yeah I call it turning the door or turning the throttle on a motorcycle you're less likely to do those things if you don't have your thumb on the cue but now my pointer finger starting to come off the cue is starting to feel natural I'm not doing it so much on a bar box though because it's too much horsepower 😂
Hi champ.. i hope you can read and reply quick for this answer.. which part of arms you use when back-swinging and forwarding the cue? Is it forearm or upperarm? Hope you read this🙏🏻
so should i release index finger from right starting (grip) ?
how is arm and wrist should we pull and accelerate with both or how does this work
I been playing in the APA tournament for a little while I just hold the back of my pool stick to tight it's hard to me to break the habit of doing that
It’s very hard to break habits. Break it now before it gets a lot harder.
Makes sense
You mentioned O’Sullivan, in snooker they do a stroke called deep screw. Do they actually twist it?
No. Deep screw is just a power draw shot. No twisting of the wrist or grip.
Is there a slight cue twist when you follow through?
Riight I see that happen with some pros
My hand holding the club turned inward when exerting force
What's that cue you are using? Looks like an Avid Era butt but not sure what the shaft is
It's good to give it the finger even when you miss
lol
I hold the back to tie
its only so the tip docent dive. its that or elbow drop or a combination. there's no magic action that gets in to the ball.
hi there may i ask whats the shaft u are using for your cuetec avid butt?
It’s a Cuetec Cynergy 12.5 shaft
I noticed a big difference
Get to it, holy shit
Does that mean it works for you?
