This is probably the hardest shot in pool, because this is dead straight in. Put the object ball and the cue ball dead on the short rails, with about 3 to 4 feet between them. Now try to make the object ball, with a center ball hit. Once you've mastered this, try it on the long rails, with either object or cue ball crossing the side pockets. Try not to cheat yourself by using outside english to make the cue ball cling to the rail. this should eventually help your stroke, or at least, help you assess what's wrong with it.
