there are many players who have their elbow outside or inside the line of aim.keith mccready,skyler woodward,bustamante or wu-cha ching from pool and john parrott,jimmy robertson or joe swail from snooker.but i don't know if they are compensating or stroking straight

thank you for clearing that up.yes,i'm going through what you're describing for a long time now but i think i'm getting closer to figuring it out.the line of my stroking arm's path is not in line with the line of the shot,my stroking arm wants to travel slightly to the left of the shotline from...

so i've been wondering,all the pro pool/snooker players with chicken/reverse chicken wing strokes don't actually stroke straight and compensate for the lateral cue movement?

do you mean that a square stance creates tension in your upper arm?

how will that show me what's creating the wobbles?the only thing this will show me is that the cue isn't traveling in a straight line.

i believe the problem comes from having a chicken wing cue action for years & not learning to set up to the shot properly since i started playing.3 years ago i started changing my fundamentals but i didn't manage to correct the problem so i gave up playing tournaments.but yesterday when i was...

hi everyone i have a question,if someone has little wobbles in his stroke and isn't delivering the cue straight,how does he know that it is due to something wrong in his technique or due to not practicing enough on straight cueing to groove his upper arm muscles?or maybe because of both of the...

if you try the last piece of advice be careful not to force your shoulder down & put a ton of pressure on the left elbow(i'm assuming you're right-handed),just do it naturally & comfortably because if you force it you might experience some shoulder pain.yeah it takes a bit of time to get used to...

i think i have a similar problem to yours.as i'm taking my practice strokes on shots my elbow starts shifting slightly to my right causing a side to side upper-arm movement which causes the cue to go offline.i thought i fixed this issue about a week ago with a change in my initial alignment/back...

thanks for the encouragement.i will keep improving and one thing is for certain,i won't give up playing. yes i only play on 9 footers and a bit of snooker occasionally.

i'm a d player.but the past couple of weeks i've fixed a technical problem which caused the cue to go offline & i think i'm close to c level now. yesterday i was breaking with the chin just off the cue (or barely touching it) and i noticed that it made no difference for me i was breaking the...

thanks for the info pidge.thankfully yesterday i didn't feel this vibration on the cue.i did feel a little irritation on my chin in the beginning but nothing to worry about as it went away as i continued playing.i cleaned my shaft and also put some powder on it so maybe that helped too.my facial...

because that's how i've learned to play.having the cue touching the chest/chin makes me feel if the cue is online or not.if i move my chin up slightly then my chest contact feels awkward and messed up too.

yes i use a snooker stance but my right foot is straight (i'm right handed) while my left bent and slightly forward of the right.it takes a little time to get used to a snooker stance on a pool table because it is lower than snooker tables and it's more difficult to get down in that position so...

it makes sighting easier for me.i use snooker fundamentals and i have the cue in contact with my chest also.it works for me.

yeah i had this problem in the past too when i had a lot of facial hair but this only happened with my old cue and it doesn't happen anymore because the joint of my new cue is different.but this is the first time i run into this problem with the vibration and it's starting to worry me

hi all,i encountered a problem with having my chin on the cue last night.when i was doing my practice strokes the cue didn't run smoothly against my chin and sometimes especially on the break the cue was making a small vibration from the contact of my chin which hurt my neck after playing for...

i think you should be fine after 2-3 weeks of practice.when i dislocated my shoulder,after i removed my sling & started playing again it took me about 3 weeks to get back to my normal game but my shoulder was still sore if i played for many hours.the soreness eventually went away completely...

just for clarification,the cradle is the ring formed by the thumb & index finger right?i don't know if this will help but i'll give it a try.my problem from what i saw in the delivery video and from what i feel in my back hand while i'm playing is that each time i pull the cue back,the cue...

thanks for the encouragement,it means a lot. what worries me though is that i still have a little rotation of the cue on my backswings as seen in the videos.i know you said that i'm still grabbing a bit on the power draw shots but i think it happens slightly on other shots as well.i don't know...
