The thing is if you're decent and have good cue ball control, you should be abel to minimize your long distance shots so they won't factor in as much anyway...

it's always important to have a good stroke, no matter how good you think your cue ball control is. and having a good stroke is the way to get good cue ball control in the first place.

Great stuff Colin , thanks, I overheard Jim Rempe talking about this 40 years ago but never could get anyone to explain it to me. sure would have done away with a lot of guessing over the years.

Thanks CC.
My playing shaft's pivot point is 15 from the tip. Way too far.
I want it around 12".

True, it would be better to show more distance shots. Trust me it does work with them, but obviously as distance increases, accuracy decreases. Search for my video "24 Stroke Shots" to see some harder shots using this BHE system.

Thanks doublesixnine2000. According to the formulas that predict throw, topspin and draw are identical. In regards to squirt, slow draw will swerve more, reducing squirt. You might find that what you're seeing on draw shots is a perception / alignment problem, or that draw shots tend to be hit harder (hence more squirt and less throw) than most topspin shots.

Yes, I prefer to compensate by aiming slightly left or right of the target. However, in real play we sometimes need to use a longer or shorter bridge, so it is good to practice adjusting bridge length sometimes.
