Paying homage to one of our 𝕭𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖎𝖆𝖗𝖉 𝖀𝖓𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖎𝖙𝖞 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙 𝕮𝖆𝖒𝖕 instructors, Dr. Randy Russell.

He always reminds us: 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙩, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙩 “𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙖𝙮.”

So if you're not fully locked in, take a quick reset. Don't just 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺. 🎱

Vision center. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵

If you have the wrong eye (or the wrong part of your face) over the cue, you’ll never be aligned for the shot properly. Your 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 is the spot where your eyes see straight as straight… the visual truth. It’s a little different for everyone.

There are many way to check your vision center. This is how I like to do it.

Half ball hit = 30° Cut Angle

If the center of your cue ball lines up through the edge of the object ball, that’s a half-ball hit.

Recognize them. Aim them. Trust them.

Practice it enough, and you’ll start spotting them everywhere.!

Champions aren’t build on good days. They’re built on disciplined days.

Struggling with miscues on rail shots? The solution might be simpler than you think!

Any elbow-drop when the cue ball is against the rail can easily cause a miss, or worse, a miscue.
Keep the cue level, keep your body still, and keep that elbow from dropping.

Happy practicing!
