: before getting down on the shot press the cue shaft firmly down on your bridge hand in the air. Now bring the cue down and aim while keeping that downward pressure with the cue shaft on your bridge hand. Now do a few warm up strokes while keeping that downward pressure. Now aim the cue just a little bit low on the cue ball ""not too far low"" then stroke through the shot with that downward pressure still on your bridge hand and stroke through the same way you would stroke a force follow.
Mike's a great guy, I remember he came in the pool hall in Ft. Oglethorpe GA. He weighted 130 LBS. He just came in off the road. After that he gave his life to Christ and turned his life around. One heck of a nice guy.
Guys, don't feel bad if you miscue on this shot. I have done clinics with Mike where he does this shot and often Mike will miscue and send the cue ball flying across the room. BTW, Mike is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet in the game.
@zebramanish You're most likely hitting the table first, scooping the ball. In the video, Mike is actually hitting below the miscue limit (think of a striped ball, the lowest contact point you should ever hit is the width of the stripe, where here he is clearly far below that) which is extemely difficult to do.
