The fact is your wrist, hand and fingers are all a very complicated, multi-jointed apparatus that must give way to a single hinge point located at the end of your freely swinging forearm. You want containment at the pre-stroke and set, and again, containment through and past contact. But 80% of the final stroke is a loosely thrown, floating cue, that is not influenced at all by any parts of the hands complicated apparatus other than one single hinge point. The pendulum stroke of the forearm, allows the straightness, balance and weight of the cue to respond only to the very simple rearward and forward influence of the swinging forearm. This video demonstrates this beautifully! The flare and eccentricities of Shane's technique is stunning to watch!
That wrist action is nothing special. Many pros do that because it creates a lot of speed and therefore spin without much force. The difference is that SVB makes a little pause after his backswing so you can clearly see the transition with his wrist. I also do that pause after my backswing but when I want to get a lot of speed and therefore use my wrist I'm in trouble. SVB does it…I have to get used it. I can get great draw shots without that pause because the wrist really helps. But that little pause helps me with being precise so I'd love to combine those 2. Maximum draw doesn't help when missing the shot.
This happens just because he is gripping the cue with his thumb and index finger only. It’s a good video about having a light grip on the cue so you can deliver more spin to the cue ball.
When I was 16-17 yrs. I worked 20 Hrs a week at the boys club pool room after school supervision. I developed this stroke & continue to use this same stroke years to today. It requires skill development with a very high touch & control. I always am disciplined to take out the hardest shots, and with a super light spin, most of the time if I miss the shot, which everybody does time to time, I end up hooking the player, taking his shot away playing When I called 2 way shot! (Dual Purpose). The secret is after your master of the stroke, your cue, ball spin, cuts the ball in without using English Shooting Center, Cue. It’s in the stroke! A lot of people can’t figure out how I do it, making the Cue ball react and do what it’s not supposed to do. Practice – practice, it doesn’t happen overnight. Just like working on my break, you get what you put into it, then you can reap the rewards. Peace to everybody out there. “Donnie”.
1. When you reach a certain length in your back swing to keep the cue level you're going to have to hold it with just a couple fingers or the but will go up.
2. Holding it like that ensures a loose grip so you do not muscle the shot…
3. Once you're at this length in your back swing, and it is in just those two fingers. Snapping the wrist during your forward stroke is essentially whipping the cue through your cueball and that massive back spin… It's like shooting a dart at the cue ball.
You can see he does something similar on his break shots… On the back swing just the couple fingers and whips the cue through keeps the cue a on a direct path and you're allowing speed to provide you the power. Have to practice the timing to really get this down.
That's a common stroke slow then lose thats a common slip stroke not all that junk pool instructors teach its dumb.learn old school Billiard techniques i follow the lessons that grady Matthews used facts

Same like jeff the bull, i have watched that stroke on him before i saw it again with svb
Same like jeff the bull, i have watched that stroke on him before i saw it again with svb
check dr dave’s page on youtube guys he talked abt svb and his stroke
With a loose grip in a loose wrist almost like popping a wet towel
His stroke is looses at the back and firm when he strikes.
Low left english
I do that also…

He actually moves his entire arm to the side, his wrist extending like that is how he keeps the cue straight in line

A lot easier to draw shot with that swing..but nothing alike with how svb stroke it😅
That's just easy to Filipino billiard players
its called a slip stroke
He got that from Efren😂
Dia memiliki close bright yg bagus untuk draw shoot hampir semua pukulan.van Boeing memakai close bright. Cuma 20 persen pakai close bright
👍👍👍wuuf
I thought that's how we all shoot those shots? Lol a loose grip and flick…I have a monster break like this
It's called a draw shot calm down folks lmao
How I increase power, stops you from dropping your elbow
4 ten CAROM
Best camera view of his stroke I’ve ever seen ol
The stroke has been developed over decades. Possibly Shane is not even aware he is doing that little wrist movement at the end.
Rather obvious the creator of this video knows nothing about the game.

Wrist cocked inwards. I don't think he intentionally does that . Genetics and body structure .
He's got the feel of it, dude has more time on a pool table than most people have time asleep in bed
Rule no. 1 use the weight of the cue stick
There is so much going on in this one motion.

Lots of wrist action with a closed bridge hand to avoid and left and right movement on the follow through that could cause a miss. An insane shot
I never knew SVB had so much wrist action
Have you seen Bustamante's stroke?

I have the same stroke, i was practicing for 2 years only different strokes and studying them all.
Deep study such as anatomy of the wrist, shoulder and all the body as well.
I ended up with this stroke as is the best and most effortlessly stroke imo
efren stroke is the best. period.
