As I am learning pool and practicing stop shot drill, I have noticed my cue ball goes from dead stop to further and further left of a center-ball hit as the distance increases, despite my sight picture telling me that my aim is still correct. At five diamonds, I still make the ball most of the time (7 of 10) but I see it’s because I have unintentionally put right-english on the cue ball the harder the hit. It gets worse when the butt is elevated, like shooting off the rail, and really bad shooting stop or draw shots from behind or over balls.
The local hot-shots give mixed signals. One player said it’s because I’m left-handed and right-eye dominant. One guy told me it’s my stance because it gets worse as I elevate the cue. Another guy told me it’s my grip. Maybe is a combination of them...
My question is, how do you determine what is the actual problem? I’m sure some people will suggest to go back to the coke bottle, but are there drills to identify and fix the problem? I’m hoping it might be obvious to one of you.
Thanks.
PS: The drill I practice is similar to Dr. Dave’s VEPP 1:11 straight-in visual alignment drill.
