Going to start Tor's stroke drill - few questions for those who have done it.

330 and counting!

I got to 330 shots today, thats 22 racks of 15 ball, to get to 300 I have to do 200 racks.

No soreness yet :)

I am really enjoying this drill much more than I thought, I feel it really helps if you are a beginner in all aspects.

I tried to get a video of the stance and my stroke, check out the video on my channel. Taking lessons from an instructor really helps if your willing to put time in. You can see from the first video on my channel when I just started playing and had no clue about the fundamentals of the game.

Looks good. Just a few key things to remember, and some of it I'm sure you already know.

1. Do the drill at different speeds, especially power strokes.

2. Be sure to hit the CB all over. Really test the limits with how much spin you can put on the ball. It might never be necessary to use that much spin, but it's good to have in your arsenal in case it ever is at some point.

3. Shoot some shots with an extremely long backswing where the tip comes all the way back to your thumb. Again, you might never need it, but it's good to have. A lot of players have a tendency to pull the cue off line with such a long backswing. So (and just my opinion) if you master that, then your normal backswing will seem that much easier.

Nice stroke, my advice is, try to exaggerate the pauses when you stop the tip at cue ball (before the last backswing) and when you do the last backswing, make them longer.

How your follow through is?
 
yes I did notice that when i watched the video, thats why I recorded it, follow through is getting there, i try to keep the same distance of follow through as back stroke. couldnt find a spot for my phone to get a better view.
