Recently I got the Centerpoint Cue from Kim The Dragon at Dragon Billiards Instruction to test out. This is my first impression and initial review after having played with it the first time.

The tip on this cue was designed by Kim The Dragon and the cue is made by Action Cues.

UPDATE for POST EIGHT: What are you looking at?

After writing this post, having said that both techniques work for me, I decided to test it out and see if one of them worked better than the other.

After playing a couple of games while switching between the two methods, I can say with certainty that looking at the cue ball on the backswing, then looking up at my aim point on the paused and keeping my focus there during the stroke definitely works better for me.

Every time I used this technique, my shots got more accurate and I was potting balls much more consistently.

I think this is for several reasons:
- It essentially makes an imaginary line for your cue to follow, a point where your cue should end up, keeping it straighter and on aim
- You are more likely to cue to where you are looking, especially when you are not paying 100% attention
- Looking just at the cue ball allows for the possibility of a small aiming error which can turn into a big one by the time the cue ball reaches the target ball

If you are facing issues with your shots, try using this technique and see if your accuracy improves.

POST EIGHT: What are you looking at?

When you deliver the stroke, what are your eyes focused on?

Where you are looking is a crucial aspect of how the shot is going to go.

Like the saying goes in many sports and activities, whether it’s driving, ball sports, skiing or whatever, where you are looking is where you/the ball/whatever is going to go.

The same applies in pool. Where you are looking is where you are going to cue the ball.

When you are delivering the stroke, you want to be focusing your vision on exactly the point you intend to hit.

Now, personally I have come across two main methods to this.

One is that once you have your aim set, you should be looking at the cue ball, specifically at the exact spot you want the cue tip to contact as you deliver the stroke.

The second is that you should be looking at the point on the cue ball on the back swing, then as you pause, move your eyes up to where you want the cue ball to go (usually on the target ball) and deliver the stroke while keeping your eyes focused there.

Personally, I have experimented with both and am yet to find a clear winner. Both have worked for me. So I would recommend you try both out and see which ones suits you best.

In any case, you should be using one of these two methods. If you are looking somewhere else, chances are your cueing will be off.

Let me know in the comments which one of these you use, or if you have a third technique which works best for you.

POST SEVEN – Stroke Don't Poke

The stroke is the action that makes the shot, so it’s crucial that it’s done perfectly.

No matter what else you do, if you mess up the stroke, you won’t be able to play well.

The stroke needs to be smooth, accurate and done at the right speed.

There are a couple of ways to ensure this.

Firstly, with the practice strokes, don’t just swing the cue back and forth quickly. The practice strokes are done for a reason.

While doing your practice strokes, use that time to:

- Check that you are cueing correctly, smoothly and straight (no wavering, shaking or curving)

- Check that your aim is where you want it

- Establish the correct speed for the shot

- Ensure that when you complete the final stroke, you are in the correct position to do so (meaning you won’t have to stretch out to reach the cue ball or do something else that would affect your stroke)

Once you are sure that you have everything correct, prepare for the final stroke.

On the backswing, make sure you pause.

The pause is a crucial aspect of the stroke.

It ensures that you are:

-Not rushing the shot

-Your speed is correct

-You are in control of the stroke

-You are cueing accurately

If you don’t pause, it is very likely that your stroke will not be accurate, and will just follow the motion of your backswing giving your less control.

The pause doesn’t have to be long, just enough to ensure you have control over the stroke.

Once you’ve paused, deliver the stroke smoothly.

And of course, don't forget the follow through.

If you follow the process every time, you will develop a consistent and accurate stroke.

POST SIX: Your Cueing Hand

When you deliver the stroke, what is your hand that’s holding the cue doing?

This is a crucial factor to how the cue is going to behave.

Many players grab on to the cue for dear life, as if it’s being tugged away from them.

Not only is this not necessary, but it will actually cause you issues delivering the stroke.

When you grab onto the cue tight, as you bring your arm back and forth, the cue will rock, which will move the tip around.

It’s very difficult to deliver an accurate stroke when your cue is doing this.

You won’t have as much feel, and it’s also likely that you will put too much power into the stroke.

Your hand should be relaxed, supporting the cue in position, but not grabbing onto it as if it’s trying to escape.

When your hand is relaxed, you will be able to keep the cue level throughout the back swing and stroke, you will have a better feel, be able to deliver power better, and will be smoother and more accurate.

POST FIVE: The Follow Through

A hugely important aspect of cueing correctly is the follow through.

Many players have a bad habit of stopping the cue as soon as It touches the cue ball, quickly pulling it back or off to the side.

This can cause a tremendous amount of cueing problems.

While in some cases it may be necessary to get the cue out of the way quickly, such as on a close, high speed draw shot, the follow through needs to be completed.

If you have a habit of pulling the cue away as soon as it contacts, you will probably find that you are not delivering the stroke correctly, probably curving off to one side or hitting the cue ball on an incorrect spot, all causing you to miss shots.

Completing the follow through ensures that you cue straight, right up to the point where you contact the target ball and beyond, in the direction that you wanted, and that you contact the cue ball where you intended.

It eliminates the risk of error, and increases your consistency.

A good way to practice doing the follow through is when you do the shot and follow through, hold in the follow through position for a second before you lift yourself up.

Unless there’s a ball coming at you, there’s no rush. So take your time and hold.

This will get you into the habit of always completing the follow through.

POST FOUR: Your Cueing Arm

In order to cue accurately, your cueing arm must be doing the right thing.

If you are not doing the correct motion, your cueing is likely to be off, which can cause countless problems.

As you do the stroke, your cue needs to follow the exact line you want to hit the cue ball on, and stay on that line throughout the whole stroke and the follow through.

Your arm should be vertical (not angled with elbow sticking out away from your body) and your elbow should be the pivot point.

If you find that your cue is moving off the line at some point in the stroke, it means you are doing something incorrectly.

There are many things that can affect your cueing motion, including:

-Your stance
-Your arm position
-Your torso position
-Bad habits
-Using your shoulder as the pivot point
-Keeping your elbow out away from your body

While cueing, pay attention to the path your cue takes, and see if it’s going perfectly straight, or if it curves. Particularly pay attention at the point where you contact the cue ball, as that is the most common point where it goes off the line.

POST THREE: The Bridge Hand

Your bridge hand, the hand you put on the table to hold the front end of your cue, is crucial for holding the front of your cue in place so that the cue tip contacts the cue ball on the correct spot.

It creates a steady “rail” for the cue to slide along to contact the cue ball.

But in order to do this accurately, your bridge hand needs to be solid and still, much like your stance.

The passage through which the cue passes on your bridge should be made with your thumb and index finger (and middle finger if using a closed bridge) and needs to be tight enough to ensure the cue does not move side to side. But it also needs to be loose enough to allow it to smoothly slide.

To test your bridge, go into your shot position, and try wiggling your cue left and right with your cueing hand.

Do you see it moving around on your bridge?

If it is, your bridge passage is not tight enough.

Your hand itself should also not be moving around, swaying, or rocking up and down either. It needs to be still and steady.

This is to ensure that the cue won't be moving around so that you can accurately prepare for the shot, and that you will hit the cue ball where you aimed to.

Whether you use an open or closed bridge, the same rules apply.

POST TWO: How You Stand

The way you stand for each shot is an important factor for being accurate and cueing correctly, but is overlooked but many beginners.

Your stance needs to be solid and still, so that you can cue straight and smoothly, and to ensure you don't move during your stroke which would cause you to miss.

If you are off balance, not steady, or otherwise moving, there is very little chance you will be able to cue accurately.

Common mistakes with standing include feet together or too close to each other, standing on the toes of your feet, and feet too far apart.

If you feel like you have to “hold your balance” during your shot, or if someone was to give you a slight push and you would fall off balance, you are not standing correctly.

Ensure that your stance is solid so that you can keep still, and that it is not obstructing your cueing motion.

What makes the difference between an amateur player and a good player who knows they will get the next shot in?

It’s all the small details. Things like how they stand, how they hold their bridge hand, where they aim. They are aware of how to do these things correctly, and pay attention to them as they play.

In this series of posts, we’re going to cover the different aspects of playing pool, and what you could be doing wrong that is hurting your game.

FIRST OFF:

Your head placement relative to the cue.

If you place your head incorrectly in relation to the cue, you won’t be able to aim and cue correctly.

What will look straight to you won’t actually be straight, because the cue will be going across your vision, instead of straight up. As a result, you will aim incorrectly, try to compensate and cue off the line. It will be incredibly difficult to cue straight and play consistently if your head is placed incorrectly.

If you are missing straight or easy shots, chances are this is your problem.

Knowing which eye is your dominant eye will help you to find the correct spot to place your head, as your dominant eye will dictate from which angle you see straight.
