The Different Levels of Improvement

As you guys start to really understand the Touch of Inside and are hitting the cue ball more precisely there's a few levels you will go through. The first one will be that you have to use less and less "Inside" to produce the same results. This is because you are moving your cue to the Inside more accurately and precisely (as far as not pivoting, moving your cue parallel).

I usually tell the newer players, first experiencing the Touch of Inside to use more of an inside move than required due to everyone pivoting to some degree at the beginning. There's an instinct to follow through at the contact point, which actually REDUCES deflection (it's seems like it would be the opposite, it's not), and this leads to undercutting balls.

If you are undercutting any balls using the Touch of Inside you are pivoting OR still "aiming" at the "contact point".....there's no need to do this, you can follow through straight (in the direction of the object ball's center) and still over cut the ball slightly. 

The key to the 3 part pocket system is slightly deflecting the cue ball and influencing the object ball to hit center pocket. This is your goal, to hit the center with the touch of inside because that's the only way you tell FOR SURE that you are properly aligned for the Inside of the pocket (the 1st of the 3 parts to the pocket).

The next levels have to do with long shots and maximum english TOI shots where you have to move the cue ball longer distances. I'll get into this later this week if anyone's interested. 'The Game is the Teacher' CJ Wiley
