This is the best advice I picked up sitting in front of the Accustats booth at the U.S. Open this year. I heard Billy Cardone and Buddy and Vickery or whomever else was in the booth talk about "natural angles" or getting the cue ball to travel in a direct line towards your next shot. I began to think about my game and the crazy things I've tried to do since I've started. Constantly trying to bend the cue ball or hit the spectacular shot. So I've changed yet again to a more natural style, less insane plays out of my comfort zone. It seems a much easier way to play though I seem to run into more balls and sometimes have to take a little longer shot.
The great thing I've discovered is that it's not so tough to cut balls when you aren't trying to do insane stuff, makes the pockets more accepting when you're not trying to draw two rails past the side pocket. Man, just get on the right side of the table. Anyway, it's kind of boring to play that way but the improvement was almost overnight. Finally something that improves the game that doesn't involve changing grips, stances, bridges, or cues /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif Hey, this is actually something permanent. /ccboard/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
