    Any tips for consistently shooting with follow through?

    Glaring red flag about the X drill. Longest shot on table, jacked up, massive parallax issues, instructions are mostly < Do This Shot> Many will just develop the bad habits that help cinch the drill.

    Melatonin to play pool?

    This is good. One of the major problems with pool is is all the tensions people develop - especially technophysical (new pool word) ones. Just getting into stance can be a struggle.
