I was practicing, and trying to work on a drill Robert Bryne advocates, where you shoot through the cue ball, and touch the tip of the cue on a fixed spot (gummy sticker, or a table rack spot). I was not able to really do this, and I was trying to figure out why. Two things occurred to me; One is that I was getting down too low into my shooting stance, and two that I really would benefit from an instructor to show my the proper stance, grip, stroke, etc.
Once I stood more upright, the line of aim, and line between the object ball became clearer. I was able to stroke effortlessly through the cue ball, and touch my tip to the cloth, with a relaxed dip of the cue. It's taking some adjustment, but I think working on this will really improve my consistency.
An I going about this wrong? I know some like to almost or even rub their chin against their cue they are so low into their stance during their stroke, but if so, how could they ever get that dipping of the cue?
