Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Me too, that's how my body naturally sets up. Would have saved me a lot of trouble if someone told me about pulling your shoulder back when I learned to shoot. Any tips on keeping a straight shooting motion with a chicken wing? Specifically on softer/ touch shots?

I don't play much 9 ball. Play mostly banks and 8 ball and slowly picking up one pocket. I'm not a great player by any means, just love the game and always trying to improve. But my elbow position has always tripped me up. Tried fixing it to straight for a long time but my body thinks straight...

It's not so much modeling I'm going for. We already have a similar form (flat shoulders, chicken wing etc) I'm just checking to see how similar shooting players keep a straight stroke throughout the entire shooting motion.

Ahh no, I'm looking for the elbow to go out, not in. So far I have Biado and Lee van corteza

A chicken wing is shooting with your elbow outside of the shot line. Working towards a repeatable stroke is the whole purpose of this post. The reason I mentioned how it looks is because I'm trying to get ideas from great players who have a similar stroke. If you don't know wtf I'm talking about...

I do actually use a stroke slip. The problem really shows up on shots too soft to throw the cue.

This doesn't work for me because I grab at the cue and the tip positron is all over the place.

That's what I'm hoping to learn from watching some great players. I've been trying to straighten her out, but it's difficult to see exactly what's going wrong while down on a shot. I'm hoping that a third person perspective will give me some ideas to try out.

Thanks I'll check him out

I've had a chicken wing for my entire pool life. It feels so strange having a straight forearm now that my arm twists and twitches. So I'm trying to study the stroke of great players that had a pronounced, not slight, outward chicken wing stroke. Any players yall can think of?

I messaged proficient the other day, he's not taking any custom orders at the moment

Who did you go to and what was the ball park price?

I got ahold of a couple old dufferin silver leaf house cues, with a nice brown tone wood and long dark grain lines. Solid looking cue, thinking about getting it chopped and redone. Anyone got any silver leaf conversions, to get some ideas, or really just dufferin conversions in general. Thanks guys.

No, it's not, but I've always wanted to try one.
