CUEING AIDS…
CUE STROKE EXERCISER.
Become a BETTER cueist than your mates down the club…
…AND discover how to get a smoother cue- action and follow-through, all in one, by just practicing 10 mins a day with this…
I’ve been struggling with cueing through the ball recently, especially when the pressure’s on in frames!
Under pressure, a player can jab at the ball, meaning the cue doesn’t follow through enough.
I’ve done it myself, many a time!
It’s like jabbing a needle into a piece of steak but BARELY making any mark in it.
But, if you REALLY get your arm through when you do it, the needle will go right through the meat!
Got it?
A jabby cue-action can ALSO cause you to miss a pot!
[bctt tweet=”Most cueing aids just get you to focus on delivering the cue straight, but don’t get you to focus on your follow-through on the final delivery of the cue.” username=”@chrisgaynor2″]
Why is this so important?
Well, if you don’t complete the shot, you won’t pot the ball! If you do, it’ll be more luck than good cueing!
Ask any good coach and they will say that a player must GET THROUGH the ball.
This means delivering the cue-arm right through to the chest.
CLICK to watch this video below to get a better picture of follow-through now!
And, if, like me, there’s no easy access to a snooker table during the week, here’s an easy way to practice your cueing from the comfort of your own pad.
I searched high and low for ages for something that would help train me to improve my follow-through, but couldn’t find anything.
Annoying, eh?!
But SnookerZone found this!
CLICK to watch the video below as SnookerZone practices honing a straight cue action on the kitchen table and also works on follow-through. You can too!
The Cue Stroke Exerciser will do two things in one simple device.
- It’ll help you deliver the cue straighter.
- And, show you how much follow-through you are getting post shot.
Great, huh?
Here’s how it works…
Deliver the cue straight through the tube (as shown in the vid) and see how much cue comes out the other end.
To get the most out of this training aid, make sure you work on a nice pause on the final backswing.
This can QUICKLY confirm whether your cue will go straight through the tube or not.
If a lot of cue sticks out after, it means you’re cueing through!
Easy, right?
Remember, when you deliver the cue, the cue-arm should feel like it’s gone right through to the chest.
Improve your stroke consistency and follow-through all in one at home for 5 – 10 mins a day.
Or, use the Cue Stroke Exerciser away down your club!
You will notice a REAL difference with your cueing technique when you come to play on a snooker table.
Not too taxing, is it?
SnookerZone adds: If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to some cueing aids on the market, this one is ideal for you!
Don’t get fooled by its simplicity. It’s so easy to assemble! And, it’s a powerful tool to have in your snooker training armoury. Keep things simple AND get that cue-arm going. A little every day, helps!
BLADE CUE POCKET TRAINER
SnookerZone says: Another useful cueing aid for developing straight cueing. With these two aids on the market, there’s NO reason, or NO excuse now why you cannot practice straight cueing at home, or away! Simples.
