Answer 5

As long as you can hit the cue ball where you want with the spin that you want at the speed that you want, that's all that matters. Some things that will help get you there are mentioned in loriann's post though. I'd only disagree with the eye spacing and bridge suggestions. Most people have a dominant eye and that needs to be accounted for. Typically the dominant eye is what should be over the cue. The bridge can be opened or closed, but it needs to be steady and solid. After that, it's all about practice and timing.
