Reverse Slip Stroke

The reverse slip stroke is a powerful technique to learn, although it is rarely seen today. A real eye opener for beginning pool players, no less than pool giants Willie Mosconi and Ralph Greenleaf (commonly considered the two best ever to wield a cue) used the r.s.s. to add power and much finesse to their game.

I have begun by addressing the white ball in this photo. My shooting hand is placed somewhat forward on the cuestick to better illustrate this interesting technique by exaggeration.
