Champion/Pro or Shortstop/Amateur/Banger. It's your choice.

A lot of detail, but this post reminds me of people who like to say "I never expected that." The balls only do what you do to them. Of course they rarely do exactly what you expect, so for every shot you should think briefly about why the plan and the outcome were different.
 
Again, if I wasn't clear or you just didn't get it,
I am not trying to make a particular shot
I am trying to learn a process, a technique, a step by step roadmap
I am trying to master the game
for now, at least, master making 95+% of the shots
anyone can be taught this
the hard part is the Intent, focus, judgement, and discipline
to implement each and every step on every shot

So here are 4 videos that are good for at least 24 hours
This is my improvement in just under one single week
Not earth shattering but...

the straight in shot: my goal is to make it 25 time without missing
I'm up to eight
That table length cut shot: I make two times in a row in the next video
then in the last two video I make it 3 times in a row in each
my short term goal is 6 times in a row
my longer term goal is 10 times in a row

I'm still moving around when I shoot
my stroke is not straight most often
and my stroke is not smooth
I can fix these
and I'm sure I'll increase my make percentage a lot when I do
and quickly
just see the videos of my progress
you can do this too
just as quickly

here they are but for only 24 hours

I think a lesson with a qualified instructor to work on you stroke, transition, transfer of energy, finish, smoothness, timing...

your stroke is spasmodic
that does not lend itself to consistency
Seem like you must have gone right to the videos.

You can see above that I did say:

"I'm still moving around when I shoot
my stroke is not straight most often
and my stroke is not smooth

I'm well aware.

I'll be back in a week or sooner.
We may have more to discuss then.

Later...
