After working on my stroke based on your description, I found my elbow wasn't actually dropping much, if at all. I don't know if I'm doing it right, but it definitely feels much more consistent. I think "trying to hit with my elbow" isolates bicep movement in a more ideal way. Before without...

That seems correct for 90/90 type aiming. In that situation, it would be left edge to left edge, pivot to center. She's just combining the last step.

Could you elaborate on the idea of hitting it with your elbow? I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

So I got my buddy to help me shoot straight in shots tnigt. Figured out that when it looks straight in and when it is straight in, my right eye is directly over my cue, but my nose is angled away from the cue. Ive also begun looking straight down and Ive memorized the angle of the joint portion...

Follow-up question: If I line up my head over my cue the same correct way each time, will correct shots look correct?

So I've been having this issue with cross-eye dominance. And I think I've just confused myself more than ever. I don't really know how to word it, but I think I've forgotten how to line things up straight. I don't know how to explain it. When I go to line something up naturally, I can now...

I like this.

Based on your definition, none of the aiming systems fall under the category of objective. You also say that even fractional aiming is dependent on feel. If it means you have to learn it, yeah, everything physical requires practice and muscle memory (feel). If that's what you mean by feel...

As a Canadian, I want this! I bet it feels like freedom.

I think I get where you're coming from now. I can't prove to you whether it's feel based or not. I'm not part of that bandwagon. You're essentially asking an unprovable question. But I still don't get how you can write a primer on different types of aiming, and then be hypocritically biased on...

I think this is a really good video at explaining the basics of "3 alignment" systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8IesgEXbvU 90/90 is the simplest most "crude" form of these systems (90/90, SEE system, CTE) I recommend just trying the first two minutes of the video just to understand...

What happens if your aim line is just directly behind the cueball?

I think the issue is that with the wooden rack, OP had the advantage. Either he felt that his break is more powerful to create better spread under less ideal conditions (gaps between the balls), or he could deal with clusters better. So if you can spread the balls better than someone, or deal...

Flying elbow sounds amazing! At least what I'm picturing sounds amazing. I say keep it. Don't let anyone dull your sparkle.

The Manual Pivot essentially, once you've found center cue-ball with the appropriate visuals, you land with your cue as if you're giving a half-tip of parallel english. After which, you turn your tip towards the center, It is the same every time. A pro1 sweep is essentially learning to...

I feel like based on your approach PJ, in another time, you would have argued that the world is flat until the cows came home. People would have had to sail around the world to prove you wrong, and until then, all you had to do was sit there and tell them to prove it.

I'm starting to think they all enjoy it. Follow the threads long enough, and it's pretty much the same people stuck in a loop.

If your plant your heel on the shot line, maybe try planting your toes on the shot line, or some variation of this. You might need that little bit extra room to keep from cueing across your body. I also have a problem with my elbow being angled awkwardly. I would try and pin it in place, but it...

In another area I used to compete in (embarrassing strategy card game), we called it variance. Sometimes things roll your way, sometimes they don't. All you can do is choose the correct line of play, and make the right choices, and percentage-wise, you will come out ahead more often than not. I...
