I was taught by a pretty good instructor to line the shot up visually and then step slightly out with my front foot as I drop down into my stance. Then bring your bridge down right on the shot line and this will position you so your swing is not inhibited. Pretty much what the OP is describing. The reason however was my fat belly. I still had a thin man stance from when I was a kid and it wasn't allowing for a straight stroke. This made an immediate and permanent positive result.

Is that straight rail or 3c?

Damn shame you don't have access to a good 3c table.

That's correct? If so, when was last time you got to play on one?

Those are 'Verhoeven' tables!

Fargos:

Bergman: 791
Styer: 791
Oscar: 791
(Atencio: 797)

Not sure he's the salvation we are looking for, as big of a fan as I am of his and team USA.

JB and Johan back in Team USA.

We are going to win the MOSCONI!

In order of who I'd like to see win the most

Wize - my last horse
Murphy - fun to watch
Allen - always nice to see a vet get their first WC
Higgins - meh. I guess one of the good things that could come from him winning is it makes Ronnie keep playing ("If he can do it, so I can I")

Missing a simple shot is oh so, "I can identify with that ."

Finding a good stance has been by far the most difficult thing in my pool journey.

For a while, I was just approaching the table in a way that just felt most natural, but unfortunately this seems to lead to crowding + flared out elbow.

That looks great! I like the finish on the skirts

Low bar.

Wizardry?
Oh there's a reason they call him The Wizard.
Efren had the same kinda Luck.
The white wobble and in the Jaws after ....how many rails? Definitely Wizardry. Of course they call Shaun The Magician.
