Colin: It's amazing how much better I shoot once my eyes are in the correct position.
I think that's what "getting in stroke" is all about.
I started hearing about the pivot point a few years ago, and thought "what a band aid, real players do it by feel".
One day I decided to check it out, and found the pivot point of my cue is about 10". OMG, my new bridge length!! Aim and pivot, baby.
Once my eye is dialed in with my stroking hand and am using the correct bridge length, I begin to see the effects of swerve and throw on the long straight in shots where I want to go forward with high inside. I keep hitting the ball too thick. Now I know why.
