I through the daily training, confrontation and watch videos, listen to masters explain, some insights, here and everyone to exchange, where it is not right, please masters criticize and correct.
For too basic problems, I will not repeat, such as the problem of whether the shot is flat, straight (to solve these problems can read my original “how to practice pushing the white ball, how to practice the scientific straight ball” article), the problem of whether the stance is standardized (there are a lot of articles on the Internet about the standard posture). Here, I will only discuss the methods and principles of when to grab the club and how to accelerate, so that you will know how to release the force and why it is necessary to release the force in this way to have good results. The content may be a bit deep, plus my ability to express myself is not strong enough, perhaps the words do not make sense, please experience it carefully.
First, on the issue of how to scientifically grasp the cue stick when making power shots
I have seen the billiard master Xie Zhaohui explains, in the force, how to scientifically grasp the rod video, I think it makes sense, and at the same time according to their own understanding, try to explain the principle of a more thorough and clear. First of all, let’s explain the concept of “grip”. Grabbing the club is an action that everyone must do when making a power shot, but most people may not pay special attention to this key action.
The importance of gripping the club may not be too prominent when you are making small power shots and playing normal strokes. The importance of gripping the club can only be realized when you have improved to a certain level and you need to make great power and play extreme shots to get the white ball to go to a better position. Many people who are unable to become masters are stuck at this bottleneck. As you probably know, according to the standard action, before launching the club vigorously, pull the club back as far as possible, at this time, the club is gripped slightly solidly by the thumb and forefinger or middle finger, and the ring finger and pinky finger are just holding it falsely to help the first three fingers hold the club in place.
Here to tell you why this time the club can not be gripped solid? Because, according to the physiological principles of the palm, as long as the hands grip the club, the human wrist range of motion is greatly reduced, you can not pull the club back a long time, even if barely pulled back a long time, the end of the club will be crooked to the side, or the big arm needs to be lifted very high, resulting in a difficult to flat, straight out of the club. This action can be experienced by everyone.
Below, on the specific explanation of how to grab the rod. To put it plainly, to grasp the club is to use your hands to hold the club tightly and solidly. Before sending a big force, when the rod is pulled back to the appropriate position, it is necessary to follow the “pendulum” principle to hit forward, if you grab the rod too early, it will lock the wrists, resulting in a significant decrease in the wrist range of motion, the club head is difficult to send to the position that needs to be reached. In addition to reducing the wrist’s range of motion, gripping the club has another function, which is to make the club head more powerful. Why is this? Because when the club is gripped weakly, it is impossible to move forward too quickly and therefore it is difficult to hit with much power. Once the club is gripped tightly and solidly, the speed can be accelerated significantly and the power is naturally greater.
It follows that if you grip the club ahead of time when delivering a powerful shot, it will result in the wrists being locked and the extension will not be able to be hit smoothly. At the same time, the club head and the white ball have not yet made full contact, and have already transferred most of the force to the white ball, so that the white ball does not spin or glide well, the next step to explain the reasoning in detail. This is a little bit complicated, we can carefully think about it to be able to deeply understand the mystery.
Second, about how to accelerate the ball scientifically when you start the ball.
Coach Wang Truss said, in order to make good power, you have to accelerate evenly when you make a shot. Many people don’t quite understand this truth. When playing golf, the speed of the club is not an even speed, but an even acceleration, note that it is an acceleration, and it is an even acceleration. Achieving even acceleration requires proper relaxation of the entire hand muscles and gradual acceleration, rather than hitting a violent shot.
The author uses the example of hitting a strong low shot himself. First, the hand frame is more than 15 centimeters away from the white ball, so that the club can be pulled back more than 15 centimeters to prepare for enough extension behind; second, the thumb, index finger and middle finger hold the club slightly solidly, and the ring finger and pinky finger hold the club in a false grip to support the club, and pull the club back by about 15 centimeters; third, all the arms and wrists are relaxed, and the gradual acceleration is achieved, sending the club flat and straight forward; fourth, the clubhead is felt to be in contact with the the white ball, and then extend about 2 centimeters forward, gradually grip the club and hit the power out. If you don’t want to hit too strong a low shot, you can grip the club slightly earlier.
The principle is: when you grip the club and hit the white ball with a very solid force, the white ball will rotate backward while moving forward, in which the effect of forward is better than the effect of backward rotation; and when you hit the white ball with a relatively weak force, the white ball will also rotate forward while moving forward, but in which the effect of backward rotation is better than the effect of backward rotation.
