Incorrect Cue Delivery

Marking and Scoring

Faults in screw or stab shots are very common, and tend to occur at uncertain intervals, even when the cue-delivery is right enough, so far as checking the cue the moment it strikes the ball, is concerned. Then the trouble is always due to playing with what we call "too long a cue." That is, the right hand is too near the butt, and the left hand too far from the ball for these strokes. The normal cueing should be modified accordingly. Hold your cue "short," bring your right hand forward a little, advance your "bridge" appreciably nearer the cue-ball. This will steady your cue-delivery in a manner necessary when playing screw or stab shots, especially if you are naturally very free in your cueing. You get greater control of your cue by holding it in the manner I advise, but do not fall into the habit of relying on it for ordinary stroke play, or you may cramp the whole of your cueing with disastrous results. Incidentally, some players find that shortening their cue in this manner helps them when potting a ball, especially when playing at slow or moderate strengths ; but I should not care to do more than commend this to those who may find it helpful in remedying personal faults in winning hazard striking.
