2. Is there an easy way to use CueTrack while shooting shots?
When using CueTrack to execute a shot, you can either place the base directly on your table, or place a sheet of
printer paper between the base and the table. The paper will make it easier to aim CueTrack. Be aware when using
paper under the base, CueTrack is not as effective at eliminating lateral movement. (You can also use felt, craft foam
sheets, cardboard, etc.)

3. How does the cue stick move within the base?
The adaptor sleeve has a soft foam core that fits tightly on your pool cue. The cue and adapter sleeve, acting as one
unit, move between the four guide posts which are fixed to a base.
The adapter sleeve is placed between the four guide posts on the base. As you move the cue forward and backwards the adapter sleeve moves with the cue and slides against the guide posts without side-to-side or lateral movement. The base and guide posts are held in place on the bed of the table.

4. Why is it so important to have a straight stroke?
It is important to have a straight stroke for several reasons:
a. It's much easier to deliver the cue ball to the point of aim with a perfectly straight stroke.
b. A straight stroke is reliable, trustworthy, and repeatable and provides consistent results.
c. It is much easier to find and place your cue on the line of aim if your stroke is straight and true.
d. With a straight stroke you can strike the cue ball softer while staying in contact with the cue ball longer as your stroke accelerates through the shot.
e. You will feel more confident when you achieve a straight stroke.
f. If you were to build a machine to stroke a cue, would you build it with an inherent flaw?

6. How Straight Does my Pool Stroke Have to Be?
We've all heard that you have to be able to deliver a straight stroke to play good pool. Well how straight is straight? Have you ever wondered just how straight
your stroke has to be in order to make a given shot? I did, so I set out to do the math...

7. What is the easiest way to adjust the guide posts?
Place the fixed post in the base and hand tighten. Place the adjustable posts in the base and tighten the screw until
the posts do not wobble, but are still able to turn. Tip the base on its long edge with the adjustable posts on the
high side of the base. The base should sit on an angle, resting on long edge and the fixed posts.
Hold the adapter sleeve, without the cue inside. Tilt the base slightly and place the adapter sleeve in the center of the four guide posts. Rotate the front and rear adjustable guide posts until the adapter sleeve slides between them, then tilt the base back towards the table, keeping the adapter sleeve between the guide posts. Tighten the front guide post until the front of the adapter sleeve rolls smoothly and effortlessly between the guide posts towards the table without wobbling. Repeat this last step for the rear adjustable guide post.
