Basic Lessons: Rifle-like Cue Aiming in Pool
Submitted by Walter Riley (rileywc) |
Pool beginners easily learn to see the object ball contact point (CP). The problem is that they often use a rifle-like sighting down the cue through the center of the cue ball at the object ball CP, which always undercuts the object ball. |
