  • Grip Issues

    So I'm currently experiencing grip issues, there are few issues that I'm having. I'm struggling to find something that I can find every time I go to the session as it seems to change slightly every time causing delivery to be different.
    When I tried a lose grip to push my fingers out of the way my wrist would invert inwards... something that haunts me. I think its caused by me trying to not twist my cue so my wrist twists to compensate.
    I've been changing grips and nothing seems to feel natural or feel comfortable (even after 4 2 hour practise sessions with each)
    I am at a loss with my grip and really struggling to cue and thus have confidence in my game.
    Is there a way to reset my grip so I can find something consistent and start from scratch. I've watched Barry's videos and they didn't help, my wrist just turned inwards when thinking about pushing the fingers out.


    Please Help. If possible I will try to get photos of the grip I'm currently using.

      Yes, just pick up the cue like it's a hammer with enough strength that it doesn't slip through your hand to the floor and just play without giving it any more thought.
      Don't think about opening the fingers, don't think about closing them either, this will happen on its own with this strength of grip. Lock the shoulder, which is a rotational joint, and the wrist, also a rotational joint, and move the cue back and forth from the elbow which is a hinge joint and can only make the forearm go backwards and forwards.
      As long as the head/body/shoulder and wrist don't move the cue can only move straight back and forwards from the elbow and as long as the cue is on the line of aim etc etc.
      Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
      but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair
