shoot the fuckin ball already

I'll never understand some people. They get something for FREE, and then complain that they didn't get it fast enough!

i seem to have to keep my hands suspended in the air along with the cue. is that ok?

cause when i put my hands on the table it doesnt seem to work. both ways dont seem to work for me. should i keep my hands on the table or is it okay to keep them in the air?

[RLongAZ51]

You should keep your bridge hand in contact with the table for stability. Try forming an open-v tripod bridge, with just the finger tips in contact with the bed of the table, and then raise the back end of the cue up with the grip hand. - Roger

More curved can be achieved by elevating the back of the cue more, or by adding more English (side spin), or by using a combination of those two to get the maximum effect. Also remember not to power this shot. Instead, you should grip rather lightly and "throw" the cue throught the ball. I hope this helps. - Roger

I keep messing up on this shot help me please.

[RLongAZ51]

When you say you keep "messing up" on this shot, what is the cue doing: curving too much, curving too little, or not curving at all?

[Balthazzarr]

You're right about that. Some people you just can't please.

so hard!!!

@fulcher33 thats true, i think he meant all natural kicking angles

[fulcher33]

Actually, you didn't block all kicking options. A lot of spin or a lot of draw with spin can get the job done.
