How Do You Stroke The Pool Cue?
A smooth and steady stroke with the pool cue equals a consistent shot. The key is good coordination between your wrist, elbow and shoulder. Make sure you have a consistent grip and bridge on your cue. (See related eHows.) Avoid moving your elbow and shoulder on your stroke. Stroke with just your lower arm. Your arm should move like a pendulum swinging from your elbow joint. Cock your wrist and snap it forward as you strike the ball. Keep your wrist loose and flexible. Take practice strokes before every shot to get into the groove of the stroke. Follow through on your stroke. Hold your position for a moment after you shoot. Keep your bridge hand in position.
