Excellent. Especially the point with recognizing angles. I found recently that I kind of try to lean backwards when I am down on the shot to see an angle and rotate my shoulders evem more. (need to work on my walk in to adress that of course). Make these videos donatable as well! One of the best sources are these, I use them to train my self for and 8 ball. So much to info to work with 🎉
Thank you GYTS11... did not know videos could be donatable... although to go deeper for a low monthly fee you could explore this www.thesnookergym.com/beat-your-highest-break-club
I think that having a longer bridge, straighter bridge arm and long cue action give many advantages. I played pool on an 8' table a couple days ago and I was restricted to being very "compact". I noticed straight away how many flaws that caused. I wasn't sure whether my cue was on the correct line when I was down on the shot. And that definitely had something to do with seeing less of the cue and being too close to the cue ball. Also I couldn't get through the ball very nicely and often struggled to get any action on the cue ball.
Dear Sir, Warm greetings from India! I greatly admire your channel and have thoroughly enjoyed watching all your videos. I recently came across a video on Stephen Hendry's UA-cam channel featuring Steve Davis as a guest. Davis shared an interesting technique where he burned the cue to ensure a consistent bridge length when addressing the cue ball. He emphasized the importance of compactness in the backswing, allowing for a better shot feel and a confident stroke through the ball. Davis also highlighted the training of muscles to maintain a compact backswing while still generating power in each shot. I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide on this matter.
I thought it meant keeping the game play in a small area, try to avoid long pots or sending your cue ball all over the table. Consistently playing black/red and picking balls of the pack would be 'compact play'.
This is the issue guys... it is applied to so many things that it is one of these wonderfully vague phrases that can be applied to almost anything... the question is: "Is compact good, bad, or indifferent in a given situation?!"

Great post - thank you very much... many players find exactly the same things you have found!

I agree, that's what I understood of 'compact play'.
