APA Dr. Cue Instruction - Pool Lesson 2: The Stance

http://www.poolplayers.com - Dr. Cue Pool Lesson 2: The Stance - Placing the body in a proper relation to the shot and aligning the cue stick in a proper relation to the cue ball travel line are essential for consistent results. "Forming that stance" correctly will create balance and stability in preparation for "addressing" the cue ball and taking the shot.

you are a 5 in your second year of APA, and he has won numerous trickshot touneys. so, it looks to me like you are also trying to put in your "expertise". I would rather listen to a lifelong player, no offense. he is just puttin his knowledge out there to help new players better understand the game. There are many variations of stance, bridge, and stroke that you will see the longer you play. not everyone is correct

[aznelf13]

no he is, camera view just giving that illusion of a windmill

Not sure why so many are trying to discredit Tom Rossman. He is a mulit time World champion after all. Just because he does not play all the way down on his cue does not mean there is anything wrong with his stance. Not everyone can play like that. Some players have back problems or it just isn't as easy to bend completely over as you get older. I'm sure Dr. Cue will give any of you a chance to prove he is wrong for whatever you want to play for. And my money is on him.

@ga7531 where do you put the other 10%, or do you float on only 90% of your weight?

[ga7531]

This stance sucks!

Total amater stance.

You hav to bend much lower.

50% weight on right leg,30%-left leg, 10% - left hand. Foots positioned perpendicular to each other Chin(look forvard), right arm(if right handed) and cue must be on one line during strike.

@jimmydoonz

He IS suposed to move the cue vertically, because he's using a technique called pendulum in which the elbow stays still and you move only the forearm making the up and down movement, it's ok to do that.

What you shouldn't do is move the cue horizontally because it changes the place where you hit the cue ball and the aiming point.

whyn't you play him for $1000?

[Elite59]

Look how far away his chin is from the cue stick...

now look at the pros, most of them keep their chin down low, almost touching the cue. It helps me to stay low.

[jimmydoonz]

im sure hes a good player n all but he isnt cueing straight

[aznelf13]

he did that after the shot, it's to make a correct follow thru

[jimmydoonz]

you can see his cue moving up and down vertically
