"How to Hold the Cue"
|
||
|
When you hold your cue, do so as lightly
as possible. For a number of years I used to
think that it did not matter very much how
a cue was held provided it was not gripped
in the least. I was led to this opinion by
observing that no two great players hold the
cue in exactly the same manner. They bring
a varying number of fingers to bear on it. Of
late, however, I have discovered that by
holding my cue between the thumb and forefinger only, as George Gray did, I am able to
swing a better cue than I ever did before.
At first, no doubt, it is more difficult to control the cue when it is held in this way, but I am convinced there is so much in it that I advise my readers to try their level best to play by holding the cue as I do. If a fair trial proves that the method is unsuitable to the requirements of any individual, he can hold his cue how he pleases, provided he holds it so lightly that a very slight tap from behind will knock it clean out of his hand. |
