When u are playing pool table and the way u are holding the stick to shoot the ball?

Question

If u are holding it with your left hand at the bottom and the right hand on the top, are u playing left handed or right handed? What's the difference please explain it to me.

Answer 1

when you hold the handle of the cue in your right hand then you'd be right handed.

Answer 2

You would be playing left-handed. Whichever hand you put at the bottom of the stick should be your dominant hand, as that is where most of the control and power comes from.

Answer 3

If you hold it with the right hand at the end and use your left hand as the bridge, you are shooting righthanded.

Probably because it's the right hand that controls the angle and power you stroke the cue ball with.

Answer 4

I never played pool table. I played a game of pool, but never pool table.

Which ever hand / arm is used to push the pool cue / stick. That's what hand you're "shooting" with. I play left-handed. Why. Because I'm left handed. Right hand on table to steady cue....left hand pushing to shoot. Right hand playing.....now pay close attention.....would be opposite. And that would be the difference.
