Once you feel everything is okay (cue resting in forward po-sition) .. move cue back and forwards again (1) .. move cue back and forwards again (2) brief pause .. cue back (some professionals prefer to pause here) .. follow the shot right through until your arm comes to a natural rest!

Andreas Huber, German national coach:

It is incredibly important to prepare yourself slowly, smoothly and, above all, completely before you actually cue the ball – pulling the cue back quickly in order to achieve a greater effect nearly always ends up in catastrophe.
