What beginner pool tip do you wish you learned sooner?

It's simple. The mechanics of a stable elbow from transition to delivery is fantastic.

Attempting to drive that stroke with elvow flexors in isolation is terrible.

I never expressed issue with the mechanics. Just the awful force production advice. Take, "leave stroking to the subconscious" everyday and twice on sunday. Maybe don't be too upset if your elbow ossilates a quarter of an inch as a result.
What muscle(s) besides "elbow flexors" do you think are needed? "Shoulder flexors"?

I agree that using the shoulder can add a little to the stroke speed (like a small version of SVB's break stroke), but I don't think the small amount makes up for the added complexity of the stroke (especially for less experienced players).
