I find that hand/eye coordination is the biggest thing for me to keep under control and I think for most people. I, as I have seen most amateurs doing is moving our eyes back and forth from cue ball to object ball on every stroke. When I started using fewer and shorter pre strokes and only looking at cue ball once, maybe twice and the rest of the time looking at the point of contact on the object ball, my shot making went way up. It does not feel natural at first, but before long I found it is no problem to do so and I am now much more at ease and relaxed while pocketing the ball. Since our hand will go where our eyes are looking and the cue as an extension of our hand, the cue ball will go where we are looking. Keep looking at the object ball and the advice on this very good video and your game will improve greatly in no time at all. Oh and bringing the cue back very slow on final backstroke with a slight hesitation before the follow through stroke, goes a long ways toward keeping the cue on line.
Love that slip stroke, keeping your arm at 90°. Have you done a video on learning that skill or explaining what it does? Thanks, love the great content.
Not to be disrespectful or negative, and appreciate you taking the time to post content. I think a majority of people who are coming to your channel are for the cue building, repairs etc (anything related to building or repairing cues. There are millions of instructional for pool players. I just don't see this being type of content viewers and fans will be coming to "The Cue Makers Guild" to see timing is the god given talent part and separates pros from amateurs. How many lathes do you have and what's your primary lathe for doing everyday common task like tips, ferrules, joint work,. Pins, and shaft cleaning?
Perfect. I found out a year ago and improved massively. Lot a time had been saved if someone had taught it that way. There is a vid from about last year where Neil Robertson (Snooker) said, as kids they always had a mirror to find 90 degree…..;
there is another element to the timing piece that most do not talk or think about, each person has a rhythmic timing to their stroke as well, you can use a Metronome to help build that in to your game, a friend of mine brought this to me and it helps

@youngdrien4587 I have not, but great idea. Thanks.
Great stuff on covering a loose grip. 👍
Nice video. Good stuff
Good info..now take time to practice that...thanks 🤗
Great advice.
I think that beyond doubt being conscious of these actions will improve my game. Ty. 👃
Thank you.
When i shoot hard with power i tend to miss with the cue ball going left just a bit ... this may really help me to shoot with less effort ..thanks
Thanks 😮
Thank you for watching.
Chris great video

@Llimton850 actually, we get more viewer activity from the billiard training MUCH more.
@Llimton850 Mid America Cue Lathes fir the tasks that you mentioned.
Keep god out the pool room!
@@vincentkeller4725don't worry he is not in there.
The biggest thing that separates the pros and amateur on their timing is more about the amount of time put into the stroke.
