Dry | Several types of power shots in billiards, which one is best for you?

Most professional players nowadays use a power style based on Steve Davis’s action standard, which mainly relies on the big arm for aiming, the small arm for power, and a relatively stable grip. The big arm is basically immobile at the moment of force generation, relying on the inertia of the wrist driven by the small arm to hit. Advantage is that the hitting process is more stable, requiring players to maintain a stable long-term training, and the mastery of the club speed is more demanding. Next, let Spike introduce you to a few classic ways of generating power.
Xiao Te style
The typical player who utilizes wrist power is Trump, and Ter’s power is more penetrating and faster compared to other players.
Characterized by the same big arm immobility (except for special extreme shots), the power of the wrist is used to apply a momentary acceleration to the club at the moment of hitting the ball, so that the optimal launch speed can be achieved at the moment of contact with the ball.
While such a launch can put more power through the ball, there is an equal loss of stability.
The way Xiao Te used to compensate for this is to reduce the distance between the frame and the ball. Such a power stroke is seldom used, and seldom used well.
Rocket Style
The typical sinking big arm player everyone should know by now, and this has become O’Sullivan’s unique signature move. Although many people also use such a move, but only learned the skin but not the essence.
If you look closely at the moment of Rocket’s power, the action of sinking the big arm comes after the completion of the stroke, not at the very beginning of the sinking of the big arm.
So, to be precise: the Rocket is using the sinking arm to make an extended motion, not using the sinking arm to hit the ball.
This action also gives Rocket a very solid launch, and his strokes are mostly dominated by the Sten stroke.
But this is actually more form-eating, and it is very difficult to maintain good form for a long period of time, and the stability of the long game will be reduced compared to the traditional posture. But it also depends on who is playing, the rocket is the exception.
Robertson Style
If there is a person whose posture can make the rocket also envious, it is Robertson. Once O’Sullivan said that he thought the most perfect posture was the Australian – Neil Robertson.
The perfect body combined with the standard stance and power, let him have the title of “Melbourne machine”.
Robertson’s height and arm span advantage allows him to maximize the traditional textbook stance, his small arms have more room for power, and his large lower body span gives him a more stable foundation.
So, Robertson can play extreme shots like Little and also have unrivaled stability.
The Murphy Stance
If the most praised posture of the rocket is Robertson, the most recognized power is Murphy.
Once in an O’Sullivan master class, the rocket did not mince words to express his praise for Murphy’s hair power. Murphy’s technique is characterized by the fact that he has the characteristics of many excellent players at the same time.
For example: we look at Murphy’s grip is very similar to O’Sullivan’s, the index finger at the moment of the shot is a false grip, and there are also some sinking big arms.
But the way of its stand is different from the rocket’s parallel style stand, there will be traces of the traditional textbook style; and in the control of the power, the pull rod length control and rod speed control fusion, so that he has the characteristics of many excellent players at the same time.
Such a hair power, if you can maintain good condition and stability for a long time, then naturally it will have a stacking effect; but if you can’t maintain the condition, then it may get worse and worse. This is also the reason why Murphy, although gathering the Grand Slam, has been generally speaking in the 80 five tigers with mediocre results.
