    10 Secrets of a Good Stroke” ILLUSTRATED PRINCIPLES Dr

    “10 Secrets of a Good Stroke” ILLUSTRATED PRINCIPLES Dr. Dave Alciatore, PhD Supporting narrated video (NV) demonstrations, high-speed video (HSV) clips, technical proofs (TP), and all past articles are available online at billiards.colostate.edu. Reference numbers used in the articles help you locate the resources on the website. Recently, I posted online video NV J.66 covering the generally recommended “best practices” for the stroke. In this article, I summarize important highlights from the video. Before I begin, I want to be clear that as long as a stroke is accurate and consistent with both direction and speed, it is a good stroke, even if you pump your stroke with a loose wrist like Francisco Bustamante, or use a sidearm stroke with lots of “body English” like Keith McCready, or use a short, punchy stroke with unnecessary elbow motion like Allen Hopkins, or have a bent and locked wrist like John Schmidt (see the video for examples of each of these stroke types). All these players are accurate and consistent, and that is all that really matters, so there would be no reason for them to change. However, if you have trouble with stroke consistency or accuracy, it might help to try to incorporation some of the following stroke “best practices” into your game. 1. Set and Check I will assume you are already in a good stance after a purposeful pre-shot routine. If you need help with these things, see the links in the NV J.66 video description. As shown in Image 1, in the “set” position, with the tip close to the cue ball (CB), the forearm should be perpendicular to the cue with the cue as level as possible.
