How to Stand While Shooting Pool

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Mike Lopez with Expert Village. Now we're going to go over the stance which is possible the most over looked in pool period. The stance should be really simple, grab your cue with your stroking hand and you approach the table. What you want to do is you want to point this foot directly at the ball, directly at the line of sight like if you're trying to make ball in a corner. That you're going to find a spot and point that foot towards the corner pocket and you want to be nice and balanced in between with your feet, a little more shoulder width apart that way you can bend. You're going to bend from the hip and down and you're going to put your chin directly over the cue stick, and some players get lower than others. A lot of professionals get really low and have the chin almost rubbing the cue, that way you can see down the cue stick as though it was a barrel of gun. And you take it and you stroke it and that's the stance."
