Hello!
I'm playing pool since December 2015, and I practice almost everyday because I love this sport and I get consistently better over the time. But I have the fear, I have problems in my technique which can get easily in the way of becoming better later on.
I like the videos from Brett Lee on the APA Youtube channel.

I try to get the stance which he is teaching with a closed snooker stance. When I started pool, my stance wasn't that much different without any help, so I think the closed stance is the right thing for me. So far so good.
I have never concerned about it till now, but my chest (more like my "tits", you guys surely get the point) is in the way when I want to follow through the cue ball. So naturally, when I want to get past my chest, I drop instinctively my elbow and the tip rises. Like when I want to draw the cue ball, it doesn't touch the fell.
So I tried to minimize my follow through. I tried to have the fist of my "cue arm" ending on my "tits"/chest everytime after I shoot, then I experienced, it is much more difficult for me to get good draw because, of course, my follow-through is much more limited. I meassured about 9 inch, and the tip is a little bit jerking/wobbling at the end of the stroke because I get in contact with my chest. So I think, the best way to eliminate my problem (if it is a problem, thats what I'm unsure about...) is to get the chest out of the way, but I don't want to change the base of my stance.
Can you guys help me out? I could make a video of me shotting some balls tonight, just tell me from which positions you want it so you can clearly see my problems.
Greetings,
eNkel
