To align to the shot line, the butt of your cue must align with the OB... with the cue tip and CB on that same line... between the butt and OB.
I always check to see that my stroking hand is aligned to the object ball. Your stroking hand and chin should always be aligned with the cue, cue ball, and object ball. To STAY ON THAT LINE the stroke hand MUST be below your shoulder. Your elbow only allows your forearm to bend toward your shoulder. If the HAND isn't under the shoulder, the forearm moves to either the inside or outside of the shot line and the butt moves sideways and will change the cue angle.
Your original aim point may be correct.. but your cue tip, although aimed correctly, travels off of your shot line and may not hit the correct CB contact point.
