  • Why is "breast expansion" in the list of related videos?

  • @TeenyTiny945

    I'm about as tall.

    I have a long bridge so I grip right at the bottom of the handle.

  • does he talk too much abt squeezing? :D

  • the balance point is measured from the tip or it's useless piece of info. and where you grip your cue correlates directly to your bridge length. longer bridge grip further down the cue. shorter bridge choke up

  • does the balance point still work if im using a 30in shaft??

  • Jeanette Lee has free video lessons at billiardsdigest's site .

    Including the grip. No mention of the balance of the cue at all.

  • I usually find the balance point of the cue the same way as the guy in the video, and grip it within 1-2 hands grip below this point. That is usually about mid-wrap. This was the advice given to me from Jeanette Lee (Black Widow) when she gave a clinic here in town years ago which has worked well for me...especially when using a cheap cue at a bar.
