Appreciate the comment and sentiment. I am comfortable with my aiming or at least enough to know there are other aspects of my game/stroke that are a higher priority.

Great comment. To continue my golf comparison - I have the best success putting with a similar strategy. Focus on a controlled relaxed pull back, PAUSING (however briefly), then steady acceleration through the ball (while "staying down on the ball"). These fundamentals serve me in pool too...

Love this, thank you

Thanks. I’ll try that drill. I believe I have pretty good control with slower shots. Part of my warm up, drills, i line up between the far lengths diamonds and lag to aim for the near side diamond. 9/10 hit my target. Not suggesting I don't have room for improvement- it just made me think...

Agreed and I will!

This is an awesome reply thanks! I was absolutely hitting it too thick. I'm going to focus on a better follow through when adding power. See my latest post. I'm noting this information as well.

Great advice - see my latest post. I am doing some drills to watch cue ball action with more power. I've found the more power, the more I come off center. Feedback is watching the CB go straight or askew. I think I'll incorporate this into my warmup routine.

Love this -thanks!

TLDR: I've found out that when adding power I swing my elbow out causing and angled contact and creating side spin. This sidespin then derails my thin cuts when I add draw. Hey everyone - Work travel and a toddler has delayed me up from getting a couple dedicated hours to work on this. But I...

Sounds like you're self aware on the impatience. I was curious about a situation and asked a simple question - does draw english affect a cut shot in a way I should account for. After running my own drills, asking my team members, internet research I was coming up short, I hoped a few people on...

Thank you to everyone that chimed in with positive thoughts and ideas!!

Love this and will try it!

I'll try to get this uploaded if I don't figure it out!

Not sure - I'll have to set it up and hit the same shot multiple times to figure that. I'll do it next time on a table (I don't own one).

At an angle, what I would consider to be a run of the mill cut shot, close enough that I would still have back spin on the cue at contact. (see google image search picture for reference/example ball positions.) That shot I would be most comfortable hitting soft with center or top english and...

[10/24 Edit -I have enough to move forward from this post and appreciate the helpful thoughts and tips. I'll pay it forward best I can!] Hi all - first post. Anyone have guidance on how to hit a standard cut shot with normal back draw? I am comfortable hitting cuts and draw shots, but when I...
