Cueing Over a Pocket

During the course of a frame there are many instances where you may be faced with hampered cueing.

This could be in the form of bridging over another ball, playing from tight on the cushion, or alternatively when you are faced with playing a shot whilst bridging over the jaws of a pocket.

The secret of playing successfully when hampered cueing, lies in securing and maintaining the firmness of your bridging hand and arm. Once the left hand side of your body is firmed up the mind can concentrate on the delivery of the cue.

Knowing how to play such shots will only come with practise, yet few choose to bother learning the correct approach in these awkward situations.

We are all built differently with different reaches and hand sizes. Practise your approach to these shots and find a way that works for you.
