APA skill level 3 stroke analysis:Robin already has some good fundamentals

All new pool players start out as a skill level 3 in APA (American Poolplayers Association). Some players remain there for a while even if they have a good stroke. Robin Hamlet is an example of that. She studied a video made by Tor Lowry, an exceptionally good pool instructor with a large online presence, and adopted elements of what we call a conventional, or orthodox shot set-up and stroke. So what is holding her back from moving to a 4 in APA? This analysis indicates that although her stroke is excellent for her skill level, she is not taking the time to properly align herself for the shot and is spending too much time figuring out the contact point on the object ball and not enough time figuring out the line the cue ball needs to take to hit it. And occasionally, even though she fundamentally is using a nice pendulum stroke for the most part, she sometimes drops her elbow, causing the cue tip to rise up. Robin should improve quickly by applying attention to her reshot routing, and making sure her cue tip hits the spot she is aiming at while maintaining a controlled straight stroke. Her main focus going forward will be to practice the MOFUDAT drill as taught by Dr., Dave Alciatore, which I call the Mother of all Pool Drills. If she takes the time to do this I predict she will rise to an APA 4 in no time. At that point we will be able to concentrate on tactical understanding of the game, the importance of safety play, and development of pattern play that should move her quickly up the ranks.
