1. I am using my bridge hand for balance and guidance, gripping the short rail as pictured. I cleverly placed the cue ball close to a rail. I can thus use my left hand for balance and the rail for balancing and sliding the cuestick.
2. I have gripped my cuestick further back towards its rear than I typically would, allowing for added guidance and feel with this one hand, it being easier in this case to control a "heavier" cue.
3. I allowed for the cue to lift away from the pool table into the air--there is no left hand support above the cue to stop its upward motion.
Start by placing the cue ball near a rail. Then, grip back a bit on the stick, "cheat" with your bridge hand for support, and allow the cue freedom of movement. You can learn to make pool shots one-handed after a minute or two of practice! Enjoy.
