Analysis of the Screw Back Shot

Here's my analysis of the screw back shot - I hope it helps you all... The first requirement for successful execution of the screw shot is to aim at the bottom of the cueball not by lifting the butt end of the cue into the air but by lowering the whole of the cue parallel to the bed of the table. A good tip here is to flatten your bridge hand. Whereas in the standard position the cue rests around about 2" above the cloth (at the point it crosses your thumb-forefinger rest), by flattening your bridge you should be able to lower this.

Upper body approaches to the shot

Q. Maximumbreak, I love this site! Its amazing! Hopefully I will improve my game with your help. I have a technical question. I am 5 foot 4 inc tall, right handed, and have been playing this games for over 15 yrs without any dramatic improvement, making breaks of 20s only usually. On every shot making, I would walk into the shot, placing my right foot at a 45 degree angle to the line of shot, and my left foot pointing parallel to the line of shot and at about 7 oclock in relationship to the right foot (if right foot is at 6 oclock). I keep my right leg straight and left leg slightly bend. I keep my feet shoulder width wide. From these stances, I am now experimenting with 2 different upper body approaches to the shot, with similar efficiency/ failures. Please tell me which one is correct, if any.

Splitting the Pack

At some point during a game of snooker or a break it will become necessary to try and split the pack of balls open that are still in their original set, for the break to continue. Disturbing the pack of red balls can be done when trying to pot a red but is more often done when potting a colour first to more or less guarantee being on another red ball to continue the break. Trying to split the reds when potting another red ball is often the wrong way to achieve the split because you have less chance of being on a coloured ball to carry on the break. This is shot is best used whilst potting a colour. Here are the four most used approaches to best disturbing the reds.
