Getting a constant half a tip off center on my stroke. Been trying things the past few days that I can't repeat. I've been doing corner drills doing stops. Some nights better than others.
If I take a ball and hit from rail to rail trying to hit the tip I'm consistently a inch to 2 inch to the right when ball comes back.
Id really like to get a decent consistent center stroke before really getting into spin.
Things I've tried. Grip, grip angle, bridge hand distance, stance. Looser grip. Tighter grip. Closed bridge. Open bridge. Opening stance more. Choking up on cue trying to make good 90 degree angle at aim.
I had the same problem for a long time.
I’d put the CB on the spot and shoot it to the center Diamond and leave the cue extended to the end of my stroke with the intent of the CB rolling back to the tip dead center and stopping.
A great way to see if I’m hitting the middle of the CB not right/left. And mine was coming back to the right a hair very consistently on a 9’ table.
So I started hitting what appeared to be a hair to the left to compensate for the imperfection. And I got it corrected.
What looks like center ball to me really isn’t. It’s a fraction of a mm but it’s real. I just kept at it until it felt normal. This took a long time to fix. It’s fixable but it wasn’t easy.
Should be noted I have very little talent for pool, became a pretty good player but nothing close to a champion.
Point is it’s fixable, it’s just a process
