It's not just AZ, there are books and videos that use stand as a synonym for stance. I stand to play pool, I don't sit on the rail...

I've seen "stand" and "stance" used interchangeably on dozens of AZ threads. I did not write "shift" in this thread. I wrote "pivot"...

Yes, I think even an old Mosconi volume has that aim method--Nick Varner also shoots parallel aim. The backhand pivot I suggest is to...

I understand. I think we agree that some aim systems provide subjective points requiring fine (or large) adjustment.

I believe the first post description of the stance line and the line in the diagram are equivalent. A parallel shift would do that...

I borrowed this diagram, stance as if you're going to cue along the yellow line, then pivot the cue tip towards center CB (edited to...

Of course you can improve! Post some video in the Ask The Instructor subforum and I and other teachers will chime in to help you.

Worth a try since other methods have failed for you? Stand aligned on the CB-to-OB contact point-to-contact point line, then...

Why hide beginners from what the pros do? Play safe MUCH more often than they've been taught/modeled.

Conscious acceleration through the stroke IMHO is not wise teaching. Bob J. has another thread where he explains the cue is coasting...

Because I sped-watched the video and didn't know the answer.

My strong preference is for a tool that sits in place while shooting. The OP tool looks helpful but requires a second person to lift...

OP is saying with chin on cue there is an easy confirmation of stroke hand position. Just as easy (or easier for people with chin off...

One can use the bridge hand loop as the same kind of aimer, the advantage being it's far closer to the CB than the stroke hand.
