Hard to Find the Center of the Cue Ball

I'm guilty of not being more strict with my PSR and it causes misses due to laziness. I need to be more diligent when aiming and keep a tighter leash on myself. The pic is one of my practice routines for stun and follow and should practice more often. The tape is for a one handed shot with follow to make both balls.

to be clear, the center of the cue ball is the point on the ball that is closest to you. for the purpose of the shot.

if your stick is raised it is the same point but you may be hitting downward slightly on it.

why dont you place the balls so your bridge hand is comfortable?

I place the CB in various spots depending on what hit I'm working on. If in the jaws it's for one handed or stun follow thru. Farther out for a straight stun or follow thru. It's nice to have a variety.

I think it's most accurate to think of the CB's "equator" as being slightly tilted to match the cue's elevation, so "center ball" is really slightly higher than we usually think of it. Not essential for good play; just like to visualize in real terms.
