Ok fellas, im a lover of 9-ball, and play it any chance I get, im improving over time but theres one thing that slightly annoys me when I play. Its when the white is locked on the rail. Can someone give me any advice, even mental advice, as to how I should play off the rail? Any little advice or little tricks would be great. It seems even when I take my time over the shot im struggling. Dazza  ----------------- Twitter: @Darren_Foord

1. Stay down on the shot and do not move your head.

2. Elevate the butt of your cue slightly and make sure you exagerate the follow-through.
