figured I'd given y'all enough grief on the subject
may as well share a potential breakthrough I just had
I say "potential" because just about every time I shoot
I have some sort of epiphany
and the successful sample size is small
still tho
so I shoot ok when there's an angle
not perfect, but pretty good
for what seems to be an easy enough shot
straight-in has bedeviled me
tonight was no different
until I made some conscious decision to loosen up
especially on stop shots
honestly, I don't think my grip is ever very tight
but I told myself to trust my aim, and my body
and just let the cue flow
and it did!
I made 9/10 table-length
stopped the cue ball
and it felt pretty easy doing it
felt good
it's interesting because I really don't think it's my grip
but somewhere in the mind/body connection
I was/am tight
but am maybe now on a good track
time will tell
for now, I'm pleased to share some small success
thanks to you all for your help!
