The purpose of this stance is to correct a player from missing straight on shots
Step one: Approach the table as you would normally, as you view the table layout, holding your cue in front of you
Step two: If you are right handed place your feet side by side, separated by about 12 inches, then step forward with your right foot. Now lean down to place your shot. Make what ever adjustments are necessary, but keep in mind you want your entire right side lined up and aiming at the cue ball, to place your stroke
This Style is good for left handed shooters as well, just reverse the process, placing your left foot forward.

You sure this is right? If I'm right handed my left hand is the bridge and on the table and if I step forward with my right food my body will be twisted and out of balance. Maybe you meant to say step back with the right foot.
Really? I'm right-handed and I use my right hand as the bridge. I guess it should be updated to say that you should step forward with the foot that corresponds with your bridge hand. Bill - have you considered that your left/right usage may be atypical? Have a look at the article series on stance in the tips section. That one, written by someone totally different, also presumes right-handed players use their right hand as the bridge hand in billiards.
Gary, I'm going to ask my pool buddies if there are left or right handed because they all have stances like mine; my right hand is on the butt of the cue stick and my left hand is the bridge. But, then again, maybe in billiards terminology, this is a left handed stance. Either way, the advice you gave was useful and for that I thank you
