I'm not even sure what my question is. However, my warm ups consist of stopshots, draw shots and follow shots - all straight in. I notice that I am most inconsistent with the follow shots.
My thinking is that when I ground my tip on stop shots/draw shots, I have an accurate/better gauge of where my grip should be such that it will be at the bottom of the pendulum at contact.
However, on follow shots, I don't ground my tip. I try to get it close to the cue ball and adjust my grip accordingly. My grip usually ends up much more "forward" (towards the tip) on the follow shots despite having a similar bridge length as on stop and draw shots.
Any advice on how to improve consistency on follow shots? I've also noticed that i'm much more consistent with an open bridge than closed, but I typically force myself to try to use a stable closed bridge in order to improve it.
