I believe I had an arm alignment epiphany

Have you tried video recording yourself?

Not since Wednesday, but I will soon when I get the chance

I never knew I had a little chicken wing going on until a Master instructor showed me on video. I assume I’ve doing that for close to 40 years so it will be tough to change. Aiming seems to be easier with everything in line but trying to override a decades long bad habit is tough! While in practice, I’m super focused on it but in a match I try to just forget it. Changes are difficult!

I did know I have a pretty bad chicken wing, but my efforts at correcting it were not helping.

Discussion: Focusing on the cue ball compared to other sports

I like to generalize to say that your best performance comes from eyes locked onto “something” whether it is cue ball, object ball, or the cloth in between. As long as your eyes are not moving you can learn from it to make your own decisions.

If your eyes are always moving around you will be lost no matter what you choose.
