i've done this test at 6:45. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFWYjk-qLhM

no,in my case i was seeing the cue slightly angled on most shots but because i couldn't find what was causing it,i kept shooting with that flaw and was twisting the wrist to correct it.

no i don't think they are.one can have the cue under his correct vision center when down on the shot but the cue placed slightly across the line of the shot and not on it.now the correct head alignment in relation to the shot line when the player is getting down on the shot from the standing...

no i don't mean the cue position relative to the head and eyes,i mean the placement of the cue relative to the correct aim line.

also i'm wondering,let's say that your main issue is that you can't place the cue on the line of aim consistently.i would say that this problem mostly depends on your visual perception.so how exactly is an instructor going to fix this?there isn't a quick fix and i think to some degree it's...

yes,i am a bit surprised that my stroke started straightening out so quickly after having a twist in the stroke for years but then again for the last 3 years i have been changing things in my technique constantly,(and trying out same stuff that i tried in the past and thought that didn't work...

well for me i had two main issues,the first was my shoulders were a bit square causing a chicken wing and second was an aiming issue,my cue was placed slightly across the line of aim when down on most shots or i was aiming a hair to the left or right of where i was supposed to.(probably because...

yes that's right.

in my experience if you have your elbow and shoulders aligned and aim exactly on the intended line the body naturally delivers the cue straight unless you do these 2 things i mentioned or something really funny with your stroke like suddenly jumping up. or tightening the grip

in my opinion aiming is more important,when you start aiming correctly your stroke starts straightening out automatically unless you have an extreme chicken wing or a severe elbow drop that you cannot control..at least that's my experience. also this video explains...

i think that the 'do all your aiming while standing' advice can be dangerous,at least it was for me because for years i was trying to find the right stance/pre-shot routine that would align me perfectly almost everytime to the shot line when in reality,it isn't possible,at least for me no matter...

so you start rotating the shoulders/move the bridge slightly to the correct aim line as soon as the bridge touches the table and you realize that you are aiming a bit off?i was doing a similar thing yesterday and it can be very effective

i think it's like the user deraltefritz said in the thread 'vision center and what not to do about it' : "as far as alignment goes, if you don't strive for the most accurate setup, you must live with the consequences".

thanks for the advice.the thing is that aligning the shoulders/elbow eliminates only one variable and even if i align my body to the cue perfectly,it doesn't mean that i have aligned the cue to the aim line perfectly.when i start playing bad and missing a lot of balls,it's because i start...

thanks,yes in the videos of the old technique you can clearly see my head making a zig-zag as i'm getting down on the shot.i will also take new videos of the new technique to see if what i'm describing here about the new routine is correct and to see if i'm still making a zig-zag with my head.i...

yes when doing this routine i must set up the cue ball and a chalk on the rail in a perfectly straight line,if they are a little off the cue ball will not come back to your tip no matter how hard you try, (maybe it will barely hit the edge of the CB on the way back)

it's been a while since i've posted here but i found what caused the majority of the problem and you may find it interesting.because i'm slightly left-eye dominant i assumed that i needed to align my left eye to the shot line from the standing position and then have the cue slightly towards my...

i haven't thought of your first idea so i'll take a look at it next time i practice.the problem could be that i haven't learnt to physically move the cue in a straight line rather body alignment or vision center

good info to consider.

when you change your head position over the cue,i think this also slightly changes the alignment of some other body parts in your setup & also while down on the shot(elbow,shoulders,grip etc).so how do you know that it was your head position change that made a difference and it wasn't something...
