QUOTE >> Personally, I need to include a slight hesitation at the apex of my final backswing in order to deliver my stroke to the cue ball with consistent accuracy. << UNQUOTE. I like this thought. As I watch a few top notch players, (drop elbow)I see a drop in the back swing, draw back & then a slight rotating on plane to the forward delivery shot line. I have practiced that & like it.
Good Luck to you.
