IMAGINE THE CUEBALL PATH...



COMMITTING TO THE SHOT, STARTING TO SWING DOWN...


The reason for the repetition.
MAKING A POINT HERE!! DOING CONSISTANT THINGS - BREEDS CONSISTANT RESULTS...

PRACTICE THESE ROUTINES UNTIL THEY BECOME ROTE TO YOU!!
1./ STAND WHERE YOU CAN SWING DOWN ONTO THE CUEBALL PATH WHILE STROKING THE AIR CUE (air guitar) AND FEEL THE SHOT.
2./ SWING DOWN ON THAT PATH...Continued...

3./ RELAX AND GET COMFORTABLE, take a deep breath - blow it out, warm up fast and loose, then simply stroke your cue until it feels like you are going to do exactly what you imagined while in the address position...
Visualize the shot clearly, just as if it were an already accomplished fact...


Swing down on the cueball path.



Side view of the above long shot. Stance widens in order to fascillitate the lowering of the head, which allows for a better view of the object ball...

Stroke it till it feels perfect - then shoot - let it go, let it flow, to a perfect end result. Keep your head down to the count of;
One Thousand - Two Thousand - Three Thousand after the ball disappears or the shot is over. Do this forever and with a couple of hours of practice a day, your balance will change. You will feel as if you're going with the shot...

Close up of above.
Your eyes may go from cueball to object ball during your warm up stroking. Do this to make sure your cue tip will strike the cueball with the desirable english.
YOUR FINAL STROKE, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE OBJECT BALL CONTACT POINT...
