http://www.poolplayers.com - Dr. Cue Pool Lesson 13: Stroke Defined With Speed Practice - The key element for getting in touch with the "throwing motion" of a good stroke is to use a "slow" backswing on the final stroke cycle and combine it with an obvious hesitation before releasing the cue forward to complete the stroke. A great way to practice this technique is to shoot 15 balls at 3 different speeds in a rotating shot pattern. Focused repetition used in the rhythm / fluency for each shot will provide tremendous benefit to your actual performance and your "looking like a pro".

  • Many thanks from Spain! You're a great teacher and a great guy. Thanks again

  • The release of my stick is part of my overall stroke motion. The overall key to your stroke is to release the cue in a fluent, rhythmic, and free flighted motion as in any sport follow through technique.

    Enjoy!

  • The release I have in my stroke once I hit the cue ball is part of my overall stroke motion, even though the cue ball has left the tip. It is simply an extension of my overall stroke, much like the follow through is in any sport. Some pros literally release the cue when they hit the cue ball and others do not. The key is to hit the cue ball with a fluent and rhythmic motion.

    Hope this helps!

  • DR. CUE, one question:

    I just realized that you release the stick(?) once you hit the cue ball, is it part of the technique? Thank you very much, and many thanks for the videos!

  • i agree, but a better practice for speed control is using 2 balls, cue and another ball and try to drive the object ball to different diamonds from different cue ball spots. Im not putting this guy down, hes an amazing teacher... but to reduce everything to 3 speeds seems... well, debilitating

  • cool man!!

  • BTW you practice with one ball to get a better with aiming your shot.

  • Why do you shoot one ball to practice? Then when you shoot with the cue to the object ball, you wont be able to judge the speed that transfers energy to the object ball. The single ball practice wont justify the energy as it transfers to the object ball. So practice with the cue and the object ball.
