I've developed a pattern of curling (bowing) my stroking wrist on power shots. When I do it, it puts right spin on the cueball, which obviously impacts position and aim. I thought, when I realized I was doing it, it would be a simple thing to eradicate it. Not so.
I've tried using what feels like a cupped wrist, which puts my wrist bone directly over the cue. That helped a lot on stop and draw shots, but not on power follow shots. I also tried using a flat wrist, which feels bowed. This worked less well, but I didn't try it long.
I sense that I'm on the right track with the "cupped" address position. That does seem to discourage curling. It also made for very true stokes shooting up and down the table to assess unwanted spin.
Does anyone have a drill or a fix for this problem?
