    I'm only saying this for other peoples benefit, as I know a numb-skull like you probably won't be able to understand.

    Just for other peoples information, Mr BS is a so called "pool player" and has admitted to have never even played snooker. Why he comes here and argues the toss with just about anyone/anything is a bit of a mystery. But obviously he's more qualified than the likes of Steve Davis, Jimmy White, Ronny O, Ray Reardon etc etc.
    You clearly haven't been listening to Steve Davis, then. He knows. Most other pros are as clueless as you, with hendry in particular being totally ignorant of what happens when balls collide. It's painful listening to him.

    And 'for other people's information' perhaps you can find where i have 'admitted to have never even played snooker'?

    Hurry up, Einstein.

      Yep, Hendry is clueless. Even 36 ranking wins won't change that. Anyway, I duly appreciate you insinuating I'm on the same level of understanding as most pros.

      As for the Steve Davis, this clip took me a couple of minutes to dig up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qntiSZzQ2zw

It's a natural result of delivering the cue and accelerating THROUGH AND BEYOND the cueball. This coach believes in follow-through because as has been said you can't possible stop the cue once the cueball is hit because it's a matter of physics. I suppose you could stop the cue but it would sure cause a jerk in the body and result in deceleration in all cases.
        tel for me the physics is a Little different. i see the timing at the end of the shot just as the back of the hand closes so, theres no real need to go through the white more than a couple of inches. and no need to think about jerking. after all the purposeful back swing and gradual acceleration is the prep for a controlled, straight, and well timed hit, at the end of the stroke.

          Towie, huh?

          Leave the science stuff for the rest of us - good lad. You stick to the thick stuff.

          Still, you're good at googling. Have you spent a couple of minutes finding where I've 'admitted to have never even played snooker'?

          You know, 'for other people's information' and that. I would hate to think you're trolling or deliberately misleading people.

            I agree that the follow through is not the real point, however it is needed as:

            Not decelerating needs a follow through?

            Accelerating or not decelerating depends on the action wanted from the cue ball?

              The technique might not be as recognised but you can generate spin with a short follow through - a few inches - Mark Allen here for example is more jabby.

                What about the 9 ball pros you watch ? Do they not have long follow through ?

                Without going on YouTube to check . I think from memory Shane , Earl , Shaw etc all have long follow through .

                Must be a reason for them to use it too

                  He has a shortish backswing sometimes and a fast swing,not a short follow through, it looks around four inches or a bit more, how much do you need? Looks like he gets through the ball very well, just cues quickly.

                    Big Shot is right, from a Physical point of view, but wrong on a biological one. If you were a robot you wouldn't need to follow through the ball, or even build speed up in your delivery, but you're not a robot.

                      Hi J, do you have a link of you playing where you only follow through two inches past contact on the cueball, except on soft shots of course, I have always thought you had a standard follow through of between four and six inches on most shots.

                        that would be two inches after the white so, after contact with the cb being roughly 2" thats four in total. then on power you could be looking at 6.
                        i think m doing this more often than not if im not dropping the elbow, but i may have a vid somewhere.

                        anyway this guy creates a lot of pace with little follow through

                          I'm glad you watched and enjoyed it. I was hoping to waste some of your time like you constantly do to others.

                            No I totally agree with that, that's exactly what I see you do, for me that's just about perfect for over ninety percent of shots, maybe more.

                              yeah i may look like im getting it exactly like that but unfortunately if i played trump a bo9 i recon id be sitting down 90% of the time

                                Trump could do that to pretty much every snooker player in the world on his day.
