what i am skeptical about is i think you can drop your elbow and still be in a straight line,,,
Absolutely you can drop your elbow on a shot, you have to pay attention that the tip of the elbow stays on the shot line.
the elbow is a "hinge joint " that can only go back and forth (in a straight line)
stroking off line i think occurs when the upper arm and shoulder go off line
or the wrist gets involved.
True. You will want to keep a high elbow. As your arm closes the wrist breaks downward and the cue levels out at contact with the CB.
the elbow brace is more designed so that the range of motion of the back and forth of the elbow is limited and you dont over extend after surgery ...I think )
This is the design and intent of the brace. But we are going to use it to deliver a straight stoke. So when you get it set the settings for full range of extension and flex.
anyway i have an open mind and will give it a try...
only 3 thousand hits for a straight stroke ......CANT WAIT....
I know you have seen this before but Bert's advise in this video is really important to get your arm on the shot line.

If you have any questions after a few days of practice come on back and post.
