The shot on the 8 ball is the best one of this attempt. Because I went a bit wide with my position off the 7, I got almost straight on the 8, so I really had to hit it very firm, with lots of top left. Notice that the cue ball hits the bottom rail beyond the 9 ball and then the english takes hold and brings the ball back to the other side of the 9 for the right shape. A shot like that is just so beautiful, it keeps me coming back for more.The shot on the 1 ball is also noteworthy in that it reflects a change in my stroke that I have been working on. For years I would jerk the cue stick back on a draw shot, but notice that here I\'m leaving the stick in the followed-through position.\n\nFor the rules of this drill, and other details and video, see this link:\nhttp://poolshooter.blogspot.com/2007/03/sorto-string-precision-position.html\n\nMy instructor, Tony \"El Maestro\" Sorto, taught me this extremely challenging drill.\n\nVideo shot on location at FastMikie\'s Fun House, Del Mar, CA\n\nFor more, visit FastMikie.com billiards, drill, fast, fastmikie, mikie, pool, sorto, string
