That was an interesting read and nice write up. Just how close is your chin almost touching the cue?
Thank you.
Many people have the cue rubbing on the chin during the stroke.
I personally touch my chin to the cue to verify my visual alignment, but then I raise my chin about 1/2" (a little more on power shots) to provide a little clearance during the stroke.

I grew up playing snooker and the stance has remained...
I've ripped hairs out of my chin (if I didn't shave) a few times by getting them caught in the joint of my cue somehow!
Can't imagine playing even partially upright with any precision.

I noticed gripping the cue further back and widening my stance a little automatically put my chin on the cue. Is this correct? I can get my chin on the cue no problem, my issue is I don't see the shots the same.
What is "correct" is what works best for you. Approaches include:
- widening the feet
- bending more at the waist
- bend knees
- be born short
The whole idea is "you don't see the shots the same."
Note that it is very important that you "aim while standing" before you get down into your stance. For more info, see:
DAM aiming system advice
and
pre-shot routine advice
