More ideas to avoid a double hit:
– Hold your cue about an inch behind its balance point and hit the top of the CB using an open bridge. The cue easily pops up, clearing the double hit.
– Put your grip hand thumb through a belt loop to limit the cue’s forward motion.
– Brace your grip hand behind and against your hip or body to limit and stop the forward motion of the cue.
– Illegal idea: Place the cue tip under the front edge of the CB and lift the cue straight up. Unfortunately, this is not a legal stroke (since the cue is not going forward in the direction of the cue).
