Part 3 of 3:
In this clip at an IBSF Master Coach training that I ran, we discuss how to stop the cue ball effectively and with the least possible effort over long distances.

This exercise has helped professionals and amatuers alike - and here I am teaching the other coaches on how to instruct their students in this skill.

It helps me in my game too.

Interestingly, I dont think i have ever potted this many long straight reds in succession before having had no practice for months - later on i realised it was because I was talking all the way through, therefore 'taking my conscious mind off' what i was doing and allowing my unconscious mind to play the shots. 

Watch out for the humour half way through when a fly is spotted on the edge of the table!
