ROFLMAO omg lol you just brightened up my day

Ok let me ask you a very simple question. Can you tell me how to get out from here? From the 8 to the 9? What kind of english, stroke, etc. do I want to use here? START( %Hl9H7%IF6T4%P_5K1 )END

People are trying to help me correct symptoms of the problem and not the root cause. Maybe an analogy will help: say you have a messed up ball joint in your car that makes it veer off and someone tells you the way to fix it is to change the way you steer. Are you going to listen to advice...

Let me ask you this - how do you know this stuff works? Have you considered that it doesn't work for everyone? How are you qualified to tell me what the truth is? And also what would the suggestions do? e.g. stroking out of a bottle or using a stroke trainer? How would the solve my problem...

I've tried that too

Unfortunately I didn't have a natural stroke when I started playing - and I also never knew I'd end up playing so much. When I got better, I was told that your stroke mechanics don't matter as long as you deliver a straight forward stroke - but I've found that that's shortsighted. Right now I...

Thanks, but the first thing I tried was redo-ing my alignment based on books and pictures of other people (with similar builds)...doesn't work for me

for anyone out there who's having trouble aligning - especially those with a gut - this is a GREAT suggestion and very smart. (Breakup - I'm taking you in the williebetmore challenge!) Unfortunately, I've already tried to copy him, but it doesn't work for me.

good suggestion, but even if I use it, my arm will move at a 20 degree angle in respect to my stroking line..

It is definitely my alignment - my stroke is 20 degrees out of line with my stick, the problem is finding an alignment that gets it in line has been impossible. I've also tried stroke with 3 fingers (and 2)

Believe it or not, I've tried this - I've used a hard wristwrap thinking that it'd help me find an alignment that is straight - but it really didn't help...good idea though

I can stroke through a bottle (with my eyes closed) with no problems. Your stroke can be pretty crooked and you'll still be able to do this. Being able to stroke through a bottle has nothing to do with your stroke being in line though

I've been playing pool pretty seriously for the last few years with a really crooked stroke. Up until recently, I felt that it really doesn't matter how crooked your stroke is as long as you stroke the ball. But I'm starting to realize how untrue this is...especially when hitting balls softer...

You're robbing his fish and you expect him to keep the place open late for you...for free? Get real
