Someone asked in that linked thread about exercise.
I put a 5 pound weight over an old cue and slide it down to the grip and lightly drop the butt on the floor so the weight disc is secure on the cue.
I then use that cue for a few shots to exercise my shooting arm. I take back the cue very slowly all the way so my shaking starts as I hold it in that position. Then I slowly shoot the shot. Note, I use a real bridge so that hand gets some exercise, too, and to protect the table rail from damage by the heavy cue.
This full take-back really helps to increase my tricep muscles so they are more powerful thus less likely to shake in a game situation.
I do about 5 to 10 reps for each arm, 3 times a week. It really has helped the shaking.
