Does anybody have any tips for the drop serve to get it to my two man on the 5 bar every time???. I worked on it last night for about an hour, and it is very inconsistant. A pro gave me a tip from across the table a few weeks ago. He said to hit the ball at the 1 or 2 oclock position and direct it with your finger towards your 2 man.....
1. Put the ball in the hole
2. Put your thumb on top of the ball
3. While moving your thumb counterclockwise (to the left), also use it to push the ball out of the hole.
Should be nearly 100% with 5 minutes of practice.
Once you start playing on brand new tables on tour, you'll learn that with the sandpaper-like new holes you have to balance the ball further out than you're used to. But that's a fairly minor adjustment.
