You are most likely dropping your elbow too much. That's just a guess.

Thanks oyster. Hey why don't you post more instructional stuff? I have received over a million hits. It seems to me that you have better computer and video equipment. You could easily make better stuff than me.

"..thrown up on.. " hahaha :P

Hey great video bro, you actually understand the physics behind your shot and illustrate it beautifully even to the layman. Keep it up hope you keep it up!

@friedcrispy dont aim so low :D

@friedcrispy

I think your hand bridge is too high, you should lower it and try to keep your cue parallel to the ground,

Cheers

@friedcrispy It may be that ur cue stick is not as level with the cue ball as much as it can be, and it would be a little raised and ull scoop the ball if ur very low or depending on how far it is from level u may just be jumping it just try lowering ur stance to level the cue out

Obviously you don't shoot at bars :)

There are several reasons why the cue ball jumps.

1) hitting the cue ball too low.

2) lack of chalk on your tip

3) tip condition - the tip should be rounded to the shape of an American nickel, or slightly more, depending on personal preference. Scuff it up occasionally.

4) stroke may not be level

5) death grip on the butt of your cue - keep it loose

6) tryng to hit too hard - the stroke needs to be nice and smooth with constant acceleration.

[bushputz]

There's actually another equipment factor to consider:

the type and condition of your tip.

A soft tip will grip the cue ball better than a hard tip, imparting more backspin, and thus greater draw.

The downside of a soft tip is that it will wear out faster than a hard tip, tends to mushroom more, requiring more maintenance, and its playing characteristics are not as constant throughout the life of the tip.

If you use a hard tip, rough it up occasionally with a scuffer or tip pick.
